Since most Muslims are peaceful and moderate why does this moderate Muslim website say this ? It says that if people in the Muslim world could choose their leaders they would most likely choose radical Islamists. My next question is this like saying during World War 2 all Germans were bad because most Germans voted for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis they were brainwashed and that is all they knew the only way of life they knew ? Im not saying all Muslims are bad and I am not saying that Islam is bad I think most Muslims are good I can't say that Islam is bad across the board.

Our Positions

Democracy is rule by the people; a system of free choice where rulers are elected and held accountable by their constituents. The element of free choice of leaders is an explosive topic right now in the Middle East & North Africa. If fair and free elections were held tomorrow, the majority of Arab countries would probably elect totalitarian leaders with an intolerant pro-Islamist agenda. The election of extremists would spell death to democracy. We must first expel Islamic extremists and terrorists from Arab and Muslim societies before democracy sweeps the region.

Because it's wrong. The truth is through the 1980s and early 1990s radical Islamists tried very hard to get elected and also tried to force themselves in to power (see groups Muslim Brotherhood, "Islamic Jihad", Islamic Salvation Front/Army, and people like Sayyid Qutb and Ayman Zawahiri) but they more often than not lost. In fact most majority-Muslim countries are republican and have voting, and only 3 of them consider Sharia law a part of the national dialogue, 2 others consider it only in cases of family issues (such as child custody and child support). Therefore we can just assume that not only do most Muslims do not want radical Islam, but also the site is wrong, because if they did, there'd be far more countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Here, you're wrong. Hitler and the Nazis never received majority vote, the largest amount they received was 36%. Hitler was installed in to power, through legal means, however.
