Do all the Muslim country's ,need dictators and police states to keep their people in line,no freedom?

Answer 1

No of course not. They just have to want freedom bad enough to die for it. Unfortunately they want us gone bad enough to die for that.

Answer 2

Lebanon is a democracy and many of the middle eastern countries have elements of democratic government, such as elected municipal councils, mayors, and parliaments. Pakistan is a democracy under the (hopefully temporary) military dictatorship of Musharraf. Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim nation is a democracy.

But it would be great if Americans thought that the answer to your question was an absolute yes. They would abandon attempts to spread "freedom" and Christianity to Muslim nations.

Answer 3

There is a Muslim country that is part of NATO.

It is a country that has a secular government that is not a dictatorship or a police state.

Of the NATO member nations, it has the largest peace-time professional military except for that of the U.S.

It is a Muslim country that soon might become part of the EU.

This country is Turkey.

Answer 4

Yes because they are sheep just like the Cubans and Chinese. They allow dictators to run their country. There is strength in numbers. When you lack the democratic process then one must improvise and literally run these leaders out of the country or better yet do what they did to Mussolini in Italy

Answer 5

Many Muslim countries have lived under the strict control of dictators for many generations. It does not mean that they are incapable of self-rule. But it does mean that they have no historical reference for self-rule.

When you have a dictator for many generations you learn how to cope. You never speak otally against the government or get your hopes up. It takes some doing to learn the skills to be free.

In America, even after they were emancipated, there were a number of slaves who stayed on as hired hands on the same plantations where they were previously slaves. They simply did not know how to be free. Freedom can be pretty scary to someone who has never let himself even think about it.

We who were born in liberty often forget that. We make our own decisions and take care of our own needs. We select our own leaders and we say and do pretty much as we see fit.

Just as it would take quite an effort for us to adjust to living under a dictatorship with no human rights, it will take others who have always lived under strict control to learn to take care of themselves, select their own leaders and say and do as they see fit.

But all men are capable of self determination. Once they have become educated about it, have experience with it. In fact, once the genie of freedom leaves the lamp it soon becomes impossible to put it back in. One, two generations of liberty and any tyrant will find people that are impossible to control.
