It’s possible to have a stable Moslem country, and it’s possible to have a democratic Moslem country, but to have a stable, democratic Moslem country has been achieved once — in Turkey — and a half — in Egypt. Calling Egypt a democracy is a slight exaggeration. :’)

And, in Turkey's case, the Army has intervened periodically to keep things on track. That would have to end, however, if Turkey is ever to succeed in breaking into the EU.
