Your imagination is going a bit wilder than most days.
"Knowledge is power. Those who don't have knwoledge are powerless." Very
true.
Very aptly proved by our own minister Shibu Soren who on live TV said if his
people had an education he was in trouble. So the question is not of
religion it is the fear of losing power. Coincidental in a theocratic state.


"They will learn to question fatwas"
A fatwa has nothing to do with the Quran. A fatwa is a decree that is issued
by a council issued. Has no compulsion to be followed at all.
The number of people who read understand and make their own interpretations
of the Quraan are very high. Of course I am talking of
states/regions/countries where the literacy is also higher than average.
Bihar/UP in India do not qualify.

"Also, Muslim theocratic governments will find they cannot rule in the name
of Quran"
They do not with the exception of places like Iran/Afghanistan. The Sheilkhs
and rulers of Arabia are not heads of religion. There is in fact a
distinction between the religion and state.

"They will not allow Sheikhs and kings to loot the nation"
It also is what gave credence to people like Bin Laden.
