Then are we ready to walk the path of a radicalised democratic world? The response was muted. Then what is the missing link that is still holding back Muslims across continents to be part of a civilised democratic set-up? Education? An able leader? Economic development? Then is there any point in protests like the one in Egypt? Are we ready to unite and stand up against dictatorship and show to the world that if Muslims unite, we can push back radicalism and bring in a healthy change? Can we change the mind-set of non-Muslims who scrutinise us in the light of violence and terrorism?

But then someone rightly said, no democracy ever arrives. Democracy is an ever-evolving process. I rest my case.
