The current Arab uprisings or so called ' Arab spring' are not only a fight against economic disparity and social injustice but also a fight for identity and dignity. It is the effort made by Arab people to seek modernity and regain their rightful place in the world. The Arab countries dont necessarily have to embrace western democracy. Religious and cultural traditions will continue to have an impact on the future political lanscape of the region. Hence, it is more important for them to develop their own type of democracy, encouraging greater political participation and power distribution. The Arab uprising are home-grown movements, an independent quest for better future rather than a copycat version of western democracy therefore islam and western style of democracy doesnt necessarily to be compatible.
