Jihadists Are Against Democracy? What "Nonsense"!   [Andy McCarthy]

So says Dinesh D'Souza in his interview with Kathryn, which Mario discusses below.

Perhaps we should introduce Mr. D'Souza to the musings of the late Abu Musab Zarqawi, leader of al Qaeda in Iraq at the time of his demise, who called democracy "the big American lie," elaborating (as reported by CNN):  "We have declared a bitter war against democracy and all those who seek to enact it[.]... Democracy is also based on the right to choose your religion, ... [and that is] against the rule of God."

Yes, how did we lunatics ever get this crazy idea that Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose a sharia state are against democracy?
