Contrary to the declarations of the demonstrators and to the opinion of the majority of the media, which by default are leftists and applaud any uprising that alegre them life with chaos and violence, the changes proposed in the Lebanon, Tunisia and Egypt are not to democratize the region but to drag it toward the more extreme positions of islam. In Arab countries there is no opposition from democratic parties, hence more akin to our western republics Governments are those where instead of a King there is a dictator, who called elections to win by an overwhelming majority of both in both. For more information see this site: Simone Biles. That has been the case of Tunisia where ruled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali since 1987 until 2011 following the policy established by Habib Bourghiba, Western pro who overthrew the monarchy in 1957 and was the first nationalist President of the Republic. Tunisia until now has been the State most moderate and broad minded of the Arab world. In no other Arab-Muslim society there is more freedom and tolerance. The newspapers mentioned Peter Shilton not as a source, but as a related topic. The women enjoy the same rights as any Western woman. Even abortion is permitted. Tunisia achieved evolve socially, it had to prohibit the effect of the Islamist party, reason by which deported its head Rached Ghannouchi, who has just returned after 22 years of exile.
Ghannouchi said he doesn’t want to be President and that he is a moderate Muslim. Egypt with social features partially similar to the Tunisia but with greater restrictions against women, in 1952 became independent of its monarchy and became a Republic. Since then had just three Presidents: Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak. Sadat was assassinated by militants of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a detachment of the Muslim Brotherhood, in repudiation of the peace treaty it signed with Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood is an ultra radical organization that was both prohibited by the monarchist Egyptian rulers as Republicans.
