Ibrahim on Islamists and democracy

Don't miss Saad Eddin Ibrahim's best column yet. About time someone of his stature writes this stuff. The only thing that has me wondering is his description of the political process in Jordan in the 1990s -- he seems to give the monarchy a bit too much credit. But otherwise, a fine and important piece.
