Lawrence has managed to surprise me, I was expecting a lengthy reply with 
references to the all-too-familiar list of right-wing authors.

O.K.

If you should go to [Middle-Eastern city of your choice]
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
If you’re going to [Middle Eastern city] 
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there.
 
For those who come to [Middle-Eastern city]
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of [Middle-Eastern city]
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
 
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
 
For those who come to [Middle-Eastern city]
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to [Middle-Eastern City]
Summertime will be a love-in there
 
If you come to [Middle-Eastern city]
Summertime will be a love-in there

The longstanding debate over whether Islam and democracy can coexist has 
reached a stunning turning point. Since the Arab uprisings began in late 
2010, political Islam and democracy have become increasingly 
interdependent. The debate over whether they are compatible is now 
virtually obsolete. Neither can now survive without the other.
