The Muslim World vs. The Arab World
We have been watching some of the events in North Africa and the Near and Middle East. It is important to know what area we are discussing.
First we will look at the Muslim world.
When you compare it to the Arab world you can see it is quite different.
The unrest/protests are spreading across the Arab world and into places like Iraq, Greece, and Pakistan.

Mubarak chose to step down in the face of the wishes of the Egyptian people.
Other leaders may choose different paths, like Gaddafi of Libya who has said that he will fight until he "dies like a martyr" and has vowed to crush the growing revolt.
