Significance of the achievements of Islamic parties for the Arab world-Islam & Life-01-12-2012

The victory of an Islamist Party in Morocco's parliamentary elections appears to be one more sign that religious-based parties are benefiting the most from the new freedoms brought by the Arab Spring.

Across the Middle East, parties referencing Islam have made great strides, offering an alternative to corrupt, long serving dictators, who have often ruled with close Western support.

In Tunisia, Morocco, and also Egypt, newly enfranchised populations are choosing religious parties as a rebuke to the old systems, which often espoused liberal or left-wing ideologies.

However, the Obama administration is showing concerns about the rise of Islamist movements in Arab countries in transition, even as developments in Tunisia, Libya, Morocco and Egypt indicate that the so-called "Arab spring" may leave Islamists in charge of the post-election period.

In this edition of the show we ask the following question: How significant are the achievements of Islamic parties for the Arab world?
