The fact is this was a coup engineered and supported by the President of the US with full support from his own Islamic administration. After resisting the Muslim Brotherhood since the late forties, it was obvious that as long as the US supported a secular regime in Egypt there wasn't going to be an Islamic State there. So, the solution was to send experienced US fascists to organize a front for the Muslim Brotherhood to operate behind.
The next phase is the murder of many in the military and many former officials. Whether that phase of the “revolution” will be openly reported remains to be seen. I hope the television producer they quote has the brains to leave before his head is on the chopping block, otherwise the peaceful, loving, Mooslims will be parading it around on a pike before long.
> The Obama Administration’s policies in Egypt and the Middle East are almost certain to lead to a new war in the region between Israel and the genocidal Hamas, with a good chance of Hezbollah joining in and Egypt participating, at least tacitly and perhaps overtly.
I think this is right (and Beck on thursday) that this is all a precursor to attacking Israel under UN’s “Protections”. It actually furthers the cause when they get everyone thinking - why Libya? why not Yemen, Syria, Darfur - because it’s easier for them to make the case ‘why not Israel?’
Not if the Jews have anything to say about it.
Who can now deny that we have a muslim as president?
... and the Coptic Christians will be persecuted and slaughtered just as in Iraq
gee, who could have seen that coming?
And to think there are some FReepers (and you know who you are) who actually think toppling Gaddafi is a GOOD thing in Libya. “Oh, the Libya uprising is purely a desire from freedom,” I’ve been told. “We’ll just get the new government to assure us they’ll abide by Libya’s 1952 constitution (from the air, of course).”
I guess for some, the learning takes a bit longer.
Mubarak had ruled Egypt for more than 30 years. He simply had to go. All other analysis is merely academic.
If you think America is best served by propping up tyrants like King Abdallah in Saudi Arabia - you are in for a rude shock (in the next few years).
My predictions: The Iranian regime will collapse this decade and the power of militant Islam will be broken. You can take it to the bank.
The questions are: What will take its place? And will America still be relevant in that part of the World?
I guess those Wisconsiner protestors are gonna have to change their “we are all egyptians now” signs, eh?
I can’t stand men with facial hair.....ick
This is no surprise to anyone who can think beyond the end of their nose.
An Islamic nation is growing in the middle east and it will be bloody and barberous. Israel will end up in a terrible war and may cease to exist.
America is at risk as many of our young people are aimless and looking for order.
Sharia law will offer that order, we have allowed the liberal elite of this country to destroy our morals and foundation.
The next ten years shall be interesting.
I think you're right. We had heard someone from Code Pink and both Ayers and Dohrn were in Egypt recently during the "flotilla" propaganda operation. Now we know what else they were doing -- delivering private messages to the Muslim Brotherhood from Obama.
“We are all worried,” said Amr Koura, 55, a television producer, reflecting the opinions of the secular minority. “The young people have no control of the revolution anymore. It was evident in the last few weeks when you saw a lot of bearded people taking charge. The youth are gone.”
I noticed that early on. Before the mosques let out...that 1st week there were women (many with heads not covered) and children in the streets with signs. As time went on the live feeds and pictures were not as encouraging. The mobs/gangs that are best organized in the community and funded from afar are the beneficiaries of chaos. Much like Madison, Wisconsin (and america’s robed mullahs) there weren’t any collectivists walking around holding up a pocket copy of the consitution.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting. Ongoing, unfolding history.
Like Egypt, Iraq (97% Muslim) has pretty much killed or scared off all the Christians and Jews....just like they have preached since their beginning.
Bump.
