Syria is looking really bad even in the eyes of Muslims right now. The Middle east is being fractured by technology, and all their theocracies and fascism are being exposed.
I think the Middle East will have to eventually become more like Turkey or Morocco, which isn't saying much, but still better than most places, if it wants to catch up with modern times. Neda in Iran, and the video of the Saudi woman telling the goon squad "fuck you". The east will not change over night but I think the cat is out of the bag now and they will have to change or be isolated like North Korea.
