Was the Enlightenment more significant than the industrial revolution in shaping the modern world?
That is a matter of opinion. Enlightenment thinking is responsible for the way that modern democracies function, industrialization is responsible for the way the economy in those democracies (and in other 'modern' countries) functions. You could however argue that the form of industrialization that the industrial revolution started is already changing under the influence and possibilities of today's digital age; but that the democratic form of government that is a result of Enlightenment thinking still endures and will continue to do so for a considerable time. So it's debatable which of the two is more 'significant'; Enlightenment is at least more enduring.
What is independence of Judiciary?
Independence of Judiciary means that it is not under the control of the legislature or the executive. the judges do not act on the direction of the government or according to the wishes of the party in power.

What Arab countries are the most democratic?
If current Tunisia continues to behave the way it did in the previous election by the time the next election comes, the Arab World will have added "Modern Functional Democracy" to its list of various regime types. However, up to the present day there are no Arab States that are Liberal Democracies. There are numerous Illiberal Democracies in the Arab World, though. In those cases, the Arab Nations were Liberal Democracies on paper with guaranteed voting rights, freedoms of speech and religion, constitutions that bind the authority of the Executive. However, in nearly every Arab regime that this describes (like Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Mubarak's Egypt, ben Ali's Tunisia) these paper rights and limitations did not exist. These rulers used an apparent mechanism of democracy to perpetuate a dictatorship.
In what situations would a representative democracy work better than a direct democracy in Ancient Greece?
In those Greek city-states with direct democracies, they were small enough for the citizens to walk to fortnightly assemblies where they deciided on all issues and the council carried them out between meetings. That worked for a small population and area. Modern countries are much larger and more populous so this just wouldn't work (even Singapore couldn't do it - Monaco could). So we have representative democracies where a few people are elected to a parliament to represent the people. The problem is that they end up representing their own interests and political parties, not their electors, which is causing the decline in modern democracy.
