For months the politically correct BBC and other journalists have been telling us that the so-called “Arab Spring” will bring democracy and freedom and tolerance to the Middle East. When Saddam Hussein was toppled, the Iraqis set about killing each other. Now the Egyptians have got rid of Mubarak, do they try building a new society, educating their children, building hospitals and roads? No way, instead they decide to use their new-found freedom to start killing christians.
We all want a real “Arab Spring”. But given the backwardness, corruption, stupidity and intolerance of many Arab populations, it looks like the events in the Middle East will lead to a new Dark Ages.
