Battle around secularism in the Arab world?

[kılıç_mehmet]

I believe that they're simply less-islamist than the others.

Baby steps, Mehmet. You have to break the stranglehold of the clerics as a start.

Bah, I really don't care what they do, my friend. Baby steps are for babies. These people are not babies, they've seen countless counquerors come and go, and have been through numerous different administrations.
The only real steps are those who are the most radical ones.
Anything else will not do.
Both sides are quite radical. Do you think that being secular makes you somewhat more european like?
Nay, my friend.
Their agenda might have a secular nature or undertone, but that certainly doesn't mean that they meet the criteria of what you deem to be secular.
They'll probably place the clergy under gov. control, just like here.
