In his article titled: Fareed Zakaria’s Ulcerous Hatred for Democracy, Turkey and Islam, Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis, a renowned Historian and Political Scientist lambasts Fareed Zakaria for what he calls: Fareed Zakaria’s ignorance and inconsistence in his article — A Quiet Prayer for Democracy.

Dr. Megalommatis states: “We find it as a good opportunity to reveal how dysfunctional has the Western mass media world become, and to what pathetic propaganda today’s readers are exposed.” “The article has a provocatively confusing and irrelevant title, namely ‘A Quiet Prayer for Democracy,’” says Dr. Megalommatis.

“It is quite interesting to follow this comical forger,” says Megalommatis, “instead of speaking of Turkey, he first writes an entire paragraph about a most irrelevant topic: events in the ‘Arabic’ world!” His text reads as follows:

“Over the past five years, President Bush has made various efforts to reform the Arab world. They have all stumbled over one enormous obstacle. In the region, the people who win elections are not democrats. They seem to believe in elections (at least as long as they win), but not in the individual rights, laws and traditions that create a genuine liberal democracy. The administration has pushed for elections in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt, only to find that religious fundamentalists have triumphed in most of them. Except in Turkey.”
