Caliphate by vote in our lifetime?

Voters will elect a 217-seat assembly that will draft a new constitution and appoint an interim government.

TUNIS, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Tunisian voters poured into polling stations to vote on Sunday in their country’s first free election, 10 months after a vegetable seller set fire to himself in an act of protest that started the Arab Spring uprisings.

The leader of an Islamist party predicted to win the biggest share of the vote was heckled outside a polling station by people shouting “terrorist” — highlighting tensions between Islamists and secularists that are also being felt in other countries touched by the Arab Spring.

Anyone doubt this will be the path in Egypt? Yemen? Iraq? Syria? Libya?

This is what the nascence of Huntington looks like.

A vote for what the people REALLY WANT.
