You underestimate the power of the Koran.
Tocqueville writes in "Democracy in America," that while the Christian faith is fully compatible with democracy, Islam cannot be. Islam "will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, whilst [Christianity] is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods" (Part II, First Book, Chapter 5, ¶ 1103).

And they want to replace it will a 10 fold more brutal Islamic dictator, that will expell all the Christians, make sure all women are covered head to toe and Sharia Law reigns supreme!

Those in the streets want Mubarak's regime out and a less repressive one in its place.
Democracy has nothing to do with it either way.

Then yes, Egyptians have no problem with democracy.
But, they reject the secular style of Democracy and Laws that America and the West has devolve into.
In essence, they want Democratic elections, but their laws still based on Islamic principals and laws.
Go listen to the young people who are protesting.
They want democracy.
It is also what the young people in Iran have protested for.
Maybe you people fear democracy?
Here's an easy one for you, Ms.Truthie...
Could you name all of the Muslim nations where democracy reigns?
One such nation - the largest Muslim country in the world - is Indonesia. Its 216 million people have survived colonialism under the Dutch, a slide toward communism under Sukarno, an abortive coup attempt that led to a nationwide bloodletting, years of corrupt dictatorship under Suharto, violent separatist upheavals and religious tensions, and a flurry of Al Qaeda-style terrorism.
By all measures, Indonesia should be an international basket case, difficult terrain for democracy. Yet with all its past turmoil, it is moving purposely through a complicated election process in which the once tender shoots of democracy are blooming healthily.

Jillian we don't want regime change or democracy in the Middle East outside of Israel. What happens when they do, we get extremist in. The Arab world strongest people are extremists. Screw the PC BS, its true. Hezbollah rules Lebanon. If Saudi Princes, King Hussian, Yemen President, Muburak, Algerian President etc fall they will all be replaced with antiwestern, antiAmerican, Islamic, Sharia Law, terrorist supporting dictators!
Tunsia will be run by antiwestern Islamic Dictator! Leftist will say the Tunsian President oppressed the people. Might be true, but the new government won't be any better, in fact he will be worse! Just like the Shah in Iran. Everyone wants to make it like the Shah was so brutal, but Ayatollahs, although they hate they west, are good to their people. Bullshit, the Ayatollahs oppress and brutalize their people 10 fold worse than the Shah!
These people want democracy.
I wish that that were the case...for a decade at least the Muslim Brotherhood has been fomenting this kind of unrest...
They may hide behind a democracy movement, but we may be watching the birth of another Iran.
Iran's democracy is laughable. The Ayatollah (who is in charge of the entire country including miltary) and the Supreme Council are not elected. Even candidate for President and Parliament must submit to them for the OK. They regularly toss out the reformer candidates and push forward Hardline candidates.
But it doesn't matter because they rig the elections anyways!
I like Syria's democracy also. Asssssad is the only one on the Ballot sheet. So your option is to vote for Asssad or no one (no write in candidates allowed)!
Could you name all of the Muslim nations where democracy reigns?
I'll start, Indonesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediathe world's largest population of Muslims. Indonesia is a republic
True...and you ended there, as well?
How many members are there in the Organizatin of the Islamic Conference (OIC) ?

What these youth want is not the same democracy you are thinking of, they spit in the face of American democracy.

Are you kidding? I haven't studied the leanings of younger people in Egypt, but the young generations in Iran are extremely westernized and want to stay that way. They outnumber the elders by two thirds of the population in Iran, and it's only a matter of time before the Mullahs will be sitting all alone. Are they still Muslims? Most are, but so what? Perhaps if people stopped trying to lump peaceful Muslims in with al-Qaeda type radicals, there would be fewer recruits joining the latter. People (any people) can be denigrated only so much before they will begin to rise up as one.
