Abstract
Between 1980 and 1993, the Middle East and North Africa as a region registered the steepest decline in GNP per capita in the world (World Bank 1995: 163). At present, none of the forty-six member states of the Islamic Conference Organization qualify as fully democratic in the conventional sense of the term. Culturally the record is equally discouraging, whatever the criteria used for assessing it.
