There we go in Morocco! Another domino in the Arab Shariah spring. Western governments must be happy about this "democratic" development.

Oh, secret police and authoritarianism is SO much better! Or do you think people shouldn't have the right to determine what sort of government they want for themselves, even if you or I disagree with policies of that government?

A moderate and enlightened king like Morocco has is preferrable to the theocratic dictatorship that the islamist want to create, yes! You have seem the playbyook in Iran (and Iraq, and Tunesia, and Libya etc.).

The Western politicians with their naive idea of democracy think that simply "elections", without a solid democratic framework of a constitution, free speech, balance of power, rights of minorities etc. is already "democracy". Well, it is not. The majority voting for a radical agenda is not "democracy" at all. Remember, Hitler was also voted in democratically.

Willi you sound more paranoid than ever. That's not surprising I guess since everything as per your usual anti-islamic propaganda that went ballistic with the up-heavel in the Arab world has not turned out like you were predicting...

...peaceful elections in Tunisia, turmoil in Egypt but dammit it's being boycotted by the islamists (seriously I feel your pain there) and Gadaffi's human rights abusing ass in a sling.....

And then there is the fact that the Moroccan king only held these elections as a by-product of the Arab Spring.

Probably best to ignore all that, and blame the MSM for no explaining that a moderate islamic party in an islamic country is all part of the cover-up. Heh...
