"Those who base their legitimacy upon a higher power do not intrinsically become unwilling to accept popular rebuke. It is the arrogant worldly tyrants, like Bush and Blair, before our eyes, who consider the millions protesting their policies in the streets as mere crowds. One man, one vote, one time in five years with no further right to be heard in between two elections make tyrannies, not democracy. These tyrannies make every decent human being anti-democratic, not just the so-labelled 'Islamists.'"
