Ah, because every future election held in an Islamic country will inevitable end up like Algeria's did a couple decades ago.  There's no other option.  In fact, the argumentative strategy of taking a single failure of a system and applying it universally is logically flawless.  It's not like other, non-Islamic countries which have rapid transitions to democracy ever experience nationalist or ethnic turbulence.  All you need to do is ignore Japan, Germany, Serbia, and all the other cases of quick democratic transitions failing (a huge percentage of them do) and the argument is very sound indeed.

Furthermore, the four countries with the largest Islamic populations have all held successful elections and have elected women as executives.
