In a way Jordan Peterson is correct but probably not in the way he thinks. Democracy is a system predicated upon financial control and manipulation by a small elite. Islamic banking practices disagree with this, when interpreted in a serious way. However the Wahabists and Salafists promote a backwards form of Islam while playing a crucial role in the Western financial system (the petrodollar).
