Like I said, the Egyptian Brotherhood.   

Muslim countries are so varied, it is hard to judge. Still, they do seem to play out the truth that without a Reformation that separates church from state, authoritarianism buttressed by religion eventually takes over (in spite of the hopes of liberal Muslims, a number of whom I have had dealings with over the years, and had long discussions about the benignness of various historic regimes and interpretations of Koranic teachings; and, now that I tot them up, all of them have turned bitter later in life or have left their hopes and in many cases their families and friends behind them). Karl Popper appears to have been right: the only truly healthy political systems are ones that allow for mistaken regimes to be dethroned peacefully, and religious regimes are unable to admit mistakes because their legitimacy is unchallengeable by definition.
