Tyranny and Islam - Good Together
Any rational person who has read the Qur'an knows that Islam is Incompatible with Democracy but for those who have not, please consider the following by Burt Prelutsky:

Can it be mere coincidence that, although liberty has flourished in nations that are predominantly Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Jewish, Shinto, Buddhist, Lutheran and Anglican, it’s never taken root where Muhammad’s word is law? Can it be mere happenstance that wherever you look in the Muslim world, from Sudan to Syria, from Iran to Yemen, from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia, wherever Islam holds sway, you will find one totalitarian state after another? Only time will tell if Iraq or Libya will be the exception, but, frankly, I’m not betting on it.
...
For an allegedly peaceful religion, isn’t it remarkable that wherever Islam gains a stranglehold, you will find the nightmare of slavery, genocide, honor killings and female stoning and mutilation, the norm?
Take for example the Republic of Dagestan located in the North Caucasus. During most of the twentieth century, the Communists were able to suppress extreme Islamic tendencies of the native peoples; however since the collapse of the Soviet State, Dagestan has slowly been turning into a typical Islamic nation where women are murder targets because they wear swimsuits.
The Daily Beast, 30 Sep 2011, Terror at the Beach
On a clear morning last July, at around 6 a.m., schoolteacher Yelena Abduzhalimova met her colleagues on the central city beach for a round of volleyball. As the ladies changed into their swimsuits, a group of young boys began to warm up for wrestling exercises before their morning classes, right by the volleyball court. Other than the children, the beach was still fairly empty at that hour. Abduzhalimova walked onto the court with her friends and she stepped forward to serve the ball. Instantly, a powerful explosion threw her into the air, flying 10 feet above the ground. She had stepped on a mine hidden in the sand. It was the third explosion on the public beach that season, and one that cost Abduzhalimova her leg above the knee. The bomb was meant as punishment for women wearing swimsuits, she says.

Americans who have Muslim friends and workers wrongly assume that they are the true representatives of the Islamic faith because they seem to be good fellows and all that. The reason that most Muslims in America seem to be civilized is that they have not yet reached critical mass in terms of population.
Dagestan is 90% Muslim. Are they all extremists? Hardly - we would call almost 99% of them moderates. Yet terror reigns in Dagestan. from the Daily Beast article above we read that "just this year, there have been over 200 terror attacks on Dagestan’s food stores, cafés, and saunas that sell liquor, as well as on religious centers and law enforcement." These same Muslims, living in the US, as a minority, would not be going around sanctioning, permitting, or supporting these attacks against western style of living.
But let these same moderate Muslims accumulate in numbers and you have the tyranny of Islam ruling over all manner of life.
