So you have a country of 40 million people that literally folded up like a cheap suit to handful of vile scumbags in a matter of a few days. So in twenty years the majority of people in this country could not develop the cohesiveness, the desire, the thoughtfulness, etc., to be self-governed? To develop a modern society? To make things better for all their people?
Why is it decade after decade after decade in many countries things never get better?

Pretty much what I was getting at yup.
If you’re a Muslim?
If you’re a female Muslim, 100%.
I’ve heard differing opinions. From female Muslims.
Not sure Omar and Tlaib have any credibility on such matters.
No, actually real ones.
If you’re hinting that the west has no business imposing democracy on cultures that don’t want it, we agree.
