so much for democracy

Are you aware that one of the leaders of el-ikhwan in Egypt was quoted as saying:

الدمقراطية زي الشبشب البسوا علشان نخش الحمام

Oh let me translate this for you: Democracy is like a slipper that I wear so I can go to the bathroom

Now go and ask one of your Arab masters how do they regard a slipper that they wear when going to the bathroom

You have no clue about what I'm talking about right?

So is this what islamic democracy all about?
