Insight: The Emir of Kuwait has grasped what the West has yet to understand. 🇰🇼 The dissolution of the Kuwaiti Parliament and the suspension of many of its articles for up to four years reflect his remarks in a historic speech that some are using democracy to destroy Kuwait. I have often told my American and European friends that democracy does not suit us as Arabs; we are tribal people who follow a just leader who genuinely cares for his people. Personally, I am a monarchist; I don’t believe democracy works universally. What does the dissolution signify? It indicates a recognition that “certain radical groups” are exploiting the freedoms granted by democracy to destabilize the country and create chaos. Once they achieve their ultimate goals, they intend to alter the laws to conform to their ideology. This is already happening in the West! Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups misuse the laws and democratic freedoms—systems in which they do not believe—to advance their political agendas, which ultimately aim to dismantle democracy itself and destabilize the very countries they once fled to for asylum. Now, this influence extends to the second, third, and fourth generations. The actions taken by the Emir of Kuwait tonight should serve as a loud wake-up call to Western leaders, urging them to take measures to prevent radical groups like the Muslim Brotherhood from eroding their countries' foundations. As I always say, listen to credible voices from the region, those “who know" God bless the Emir of Kuwait, and God bless Kuwait.
