Fascinating account

I think a lot of young left leaning people in the US can relate to feeling betrayed/misled by leftist movements.

Mr Abdul-Hussein has a fascinating backstory, but it's not clear from this short clip what he thinks about the prospects for democracy in the Arab Muslim world. Is Western Westminster democracy applicable to the current panoply of majority Muslim states in the Levant and North Africa? Are there more indigenous forms of democracy in the region? Is the current state system most appropriate? Of course, where should Islam fit into the puzzle?
