Important to remember: Madeline Albright was an Islam apologist

The former US secretary of state has passed away at 84, but as Robert Spencer reminds everybody, she had responsibility in some of the worst policy-making in the middle east, and was one of the biggest apologists for Islam, as well as for the PLO:
In 2009, Albright claimed: “There is no doubt in my mind that Muslim countries can be democracies. Turkey is a perfect example of that. It is very evident, and, actually, in my study of religions, in many ways Islam is maybe the most democratic religion because there is nobody between you and God. So I do not think that is something that can be used as reason not to have Muslim democracies.”

As far as I know, Albright never addressed why Turkey was the lone example of a republic in the Islamic world, or why Turkey itself was and is re-Islamizing. She never, as far as I know, spoke about the authoritarianism inherent in Islam, with its arbitrary and all-powerful Allah, and with the dictum calling for unreserved obedience to the ruler that is attributed to Muhammad: “Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a raisin were made your chief.” (Bukhari 1.10.693)
She was also anti-Trump (something Nikki Haley was too, regrettably enough), and was one of the reasons we're at this dire moment in history. What she did was just the beginning of many disasters that've befallen not just the middle east, but also the USA, Africa and Europe ever since.
