Article: The failures of democracy in the West offer hope for Islamic movements everywhere

"Crescent International", the Toronto-based news magazine of the global Islamic movement, just published on its website an undated opinion article by the magazine's former editor, Iqbal Siddiqui, titled "The failures of democracy in the West offer hope for Islamic movements everywhere".

Excerpt: "As Egyptians struggle to achieve real freedom, rather than the model offered by the West, the fact that democracy is facing new challenges even in the countries that have hitherto been its supposed shining models, can only make it easier for a counter-democratic discourse to emerge, offering a genuine Islamic alternative as a model for the entire Muslim world."
