Why should Moslems believe in Democracy if as soon as they get an Islamic Government elected it gets overthrown?

The situation is Egypt is truly lamentable. A government gets elected with a solid majority. It tries to implement its programme and is overthrown by representatives of the previous dictatorial regime. How can we see this as anything other than simply wrong and bad? If it is the fact that the old regime was more pro-Western than the elected government is what sways us then we simply reveal that we are not really interested in democracy, we are merely self-interested. This is repeatedly the case. Whenever Islamic groups have a popular mandate the |West tries to undermine them. If the reality is that Western governments are really only concerned about their own short term interests, then they really should stop all this hypocritical posturing about being in favour of an Arab democratic revival. The reality seems to be that the last thing the West wants is for the popular will to prevail in Moslem countries. All this makes the intervention in Syria seem ill advised. The West may not like the Assad regime, mostly because it leans toward Russia, but would they like any of the rebel factions any better? If Assad were to go, what would happen then? The decision to arm rebel groups probably actually has very little to do with a desire for democracy and a lot to do with embarrassing Russia. Syria is to Russia rather as Israel is to the USA. Russia is not going to give it up passively. One of the main effects of arming the rebels with American weapons is that it will give the Russians an opportunity to test out how effective their own weapons are against the American ones. The Syrian situation will not be a rerun of Libya because it is much closer to Russia's core interest. Libya can become part of the European sphere of influence, but Syria is part of the Russian sphere and that means that one is taking on a much more formidable opponent. Western involvement in the Middle East has already done a huge amount of damage. What are really moves in a large scale geo-political game in which the real enemies are often Russia or China are dressed up to look like principled support for morally laudable objectives like freedom and democracy but as soon as local people show any signs of becoming free or democratic they are repressed again. This endless farce would be amusing if it were not tragic but the fact is that it is tragic in the extreme and one feels deeply disturbed to be implicated in it.
