Don't overlook their accomplishments in the political realm.

Most Muslim countries are ruled by royal families and clerics under Islamic Law. It is the perfect system for despots. First, no one can argue with the leaders, or question their rule because to do so would violate their religion. Next, the rulers can live in luxury while the people live in poverty, because the rulers are blessed by Allah. Third, all of the frustrations the people feel over their lack of freedom and poverty can be directed to the infidels. Terrorism and suicides are given as ways to gain favor with Allah (and escape the repression and futilism of their every day existence.)

The Dems would love to have the same situation - ultimate power, total control and no one to question them!!!
