The first fundamental truth about the "Arab Spring" is that there never was one. The salient fact of the Middle East, the only one, is Islam. The Islam that shapes the Middle East inculcates in Muslims the self-perception that they are members of a civilization implacably hostile to the West. The United States is a competitor to be overcome, not the herald of a culture to be embraced.

That is the real story of the Arab Spring, and you can read all about it in Andrew C. McCarthy's new e-book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy. Find it here.
