Russian translation:Проблемы с демократией скорее у арабов, чем у мусульман
Explanation:
Контекст ясен из ссылки:

On this last point there is a good deal of supporting evidence. An article by Alfred Stepan and Graeme B. Robertson in a recent issue of the Journal of Democracy makes the point that non-Arab Muslim states are actually "over-achievers" on democracy relative to their level of economic development ("An 'Arab' More than 'Muslim' Electoral Gap," Journal of Democracy 14, 3 [July 2003]). But they also point out that the Arab Muslim states are "under-achievers," leading to the article's title, "An 'Arab' More Than 'Muslim' Electoral Gap," which brings us back to the problem of Arab exceptionalism.

How do we explain the democracy deficit in the Arab world, and what can be done to ad-dress it?

agree  Vladimir Vaguine: Дефицит демократии - не столько исламская, склько арабская проблема

  -> "исламская" не очень. "Проблема не столько ислама", сколько... "араба"? Тоже не то. Но спасибо, anyhow.
