Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Once again, assuming that the statement is correct there is a major difference between the theory and the application. The fact that many Arabic and Muslim governments fail the test has nothing to do with the religion. Iran and Gaza are clear examples of theological governments that are democratically elected governments - by the western standards.

Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Actually many of the 99 names would translate to loving and heavenly, http://www.jannah.org/articles/names.html

I am an Egyptian American born in Alexandria. I immigrated to the US in the late eighties, during this time lived in many places in US and Europe. I work as an IT manager and love it. I love to travel, it makes me feel young, and it awakes in me sense of adventure and curiosity. I love knowing people from different cultures; it never fails to amaze me how we all live in our little worlds that never meet. History is my second amazement, it always differ depending on who is winning, that leads me to my third hobby, politics is it history or human nature that is the culprit?
