From theocracy to Democracy? Towards Secularisation and Individualism in the Policy of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan By Roald

I thought that this article raised an interesting point when recalling Steve Bruce's opinion that the increases modernization and urbanization in Muslim life as well as the migration of Muslims to countries with other cultures and religions tends to impede the secularization of Muslim society. Bruce believes this to be a temporary impediment and that Islamic secularism will eventually occur.  The reason I found this interesting is because it suggests that when faced with alteration and altercation a people group tends to stand firmly together, creating very strict guidelines and principles, however as these changes and confrontations subside and the seas settle these principles and structures become more lax.
