True. But at least Mubarak kept the Islamists at bay.
Indeed the torture and repression of the West backed 'democratic' regimes largely created Islamism as it is currently recognised.
My spell check notes that you've misspelled "recognized."
On what basis do you declare that the current Islam is the result of the activities of the West?
