Yes there are many Arabs who don't want radical Islam. Specially those Christian Arabs in Egypt :-) But the majority seem to want it. Also democracy just means majority rule. It does not mean not having radical Islam.

If majority want radical Islam you get that in a democracy. It is not the same as freedom which means guarantee of basic rights. No matter what we say the Arab Spring it turning out to be a radical Islam. This is not my doing just watching.

VPK wrong to put everybody in the same box

Arabs want to have radical Islam is wrong to say. I know myself many arabs that do not want that, I think Iranians during and after revoution did not want it, but the big mass did not have and does not have democratic education and beleif and that is what lead to this system that we have today and unfortunatly that is what will lead us even to darker places if continued. People have to understand and beleive in democracy instead of religious fairy tales.

... to radicalism and fundamentalism quickly, so disgusting.

You are 100% right but this is not unexpected. Arabs are 32 years behind Iran. They are going down the same hole we did. But the good news is that we are waking up. I really hope USA realizes a new Iran is its best bet in the region.

Becuase while Arabs want radical Islam Iranians have had it. People want real freedom and are the most pro-American in the region. That means if Iran were to be free they would choose to work with America. The question is if USA does the right thing.

I am worried Obama is not the right man to do it. Obama has a thing for Islam. Republicans also have a lot of nut jobs. The one potential sane one is Romney. I don't know enough about him. This is why we need an effective lobby.

Coincidence ? Just after Obama's support for Tunisia's PM ...

US President Barack Obama pledged economic and political support for Tunisia during a symbolic visit to the White House by its Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi. On October 23 Tunisia will become the first Arab Spring country to hold free elections.

Obviously there are no big problems in Tunisia

They must really having no other problems in their society, having so much time for a small girls dream. You can not even have dreams seems like, maybe they should put it in Sharia that dreaming anything but dreams approved by mullas is forbidden.

Excellent: the movie went on theatres in Tunisia.

The arrested Islamists have to be treated for their lack of tolerance.  I wonder where Iranians stand as a matter of tolerance in this world.  The results shouldn't sound promising since our own government is IRI.

Shouldn't we be ashamed of ourselves that we built such a government?  Have we learned something from our own mistakes?  Have we become a tolerance nation now, or there are still many leading Iranian opportunists?

That's definitely a good reason for the riots!
