This is exactly what I've read as to why Islam is so popular. The people turn
to it because the governments are so corrupt. They hope to find guidance and
governance in the religion. In fact, this was proposed as a reason why the
governments fanned the flames of the cartoon furor, to take attention off
themselves. I wonder if that doesn't mirror the concurrent rise of religion
and governmental corruption in this country. When all else fails, read the
instructions ...

?Mainstream Islamist organizations are so influential because they have little
competition. No ideology in the Arab world has at present the appeal of the
Islamist message, which powerfully combines a religious ideal with the concept
of social justice . . .?
