American analysts continue to assert that Egyptians just want Western-style pluralistic democracy. No one actually on the scene in Egypt, however, is calling for that. "Egyptians demand restoration of Islam," from AhlulBayt News Agency News Agency, February 6:
Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Spokesman of Muslim Brotherhood said that the unprecedented presence of over 7 million Egyptian people in the Friday protests shook the palace of Hosni Mubarak. Ahmad Mersi told al-Alam news network that the Egyptian revolutionary people demand a restoration of Islamic rules in the country andan [sic] ouster of Mubarak's despotic rule.
He said the Egyptian people will continue protests until the ruling system is toppled....
Yep, that’s the way it’ll go!
Odd that 90 percent of the ‘protesters’ are men...guess women in Egypt just aren’t interested in ‘islamic Democracy’, and/or afraid of rape, subjugation, etc. This crowd is inspiring, whew!
News of a massacre of two Christian Coptic families by Islamists just emerged from Upper Egypt with the return of the Internet connections after a week of Internet blackout by the Egyptian regime. The massacre took place on Sunday, January 30 at 3 PM in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province.
Two Islamists groups, aided by the Muslim neighbors, descended on the roof of houses owned by Copts, killing eleven Copts, including children, and seriously injuring four others.
...Anba Agathon, Bishop of Maghagha, told Coptic activist Dr. Mona Roman in a televised interview on Al-Karma TV that the killers are their neighbors, who seized the opportunity of the mayhem prevailing in Egypt and the absence of police protection to slaughter the Copts. The two families were staying in their homes with their doors locked when suddenly the Islamists descended on them," said Bishop Agathon, "killing eleven and leaving for dead four others family members. In addition, they looted everything that was in the two Coptic houses, including money, furniture and electrical equipment. They also looted livestock and grain."
We _ can _ not _ know.
We simply cannot know what the Egyptian people want, and if we DID, would it matter? The MB has the most organized “voice” in those parts. With the way that AP, Reuters, UPI, etc; are all “phone it in off the hotel balcony” news agencies, we can’t really claim to know what’s what over there. We may not understand why anyone on the planet would choose a non-Democratic form of government, but we would have to be flaming stupid not to realize, after so many millions of examples, that Islam glorifies Mohammed and Mohammed only. Man making laws to protect the rights of the individual is contrary to the teachings of Mohammed. Man is not supposed to create structures to consider laws, man is supposed to study and implement the Koran. Democracy is apostasy to these sand turds. So nobody should be surprised if “they” decide not to choose Democracy.
Plus whatever happens this week doesn’t necessary mean that a stable state (meaning condition) has been reached. The one thing people in the West are saying about this tumult being a springboard for Democracy is far fetched, IMO. There aren’t the political nor the governing structures to calmly consider ideas, vet them, and create law with what they want out of them. Plus they have never had a democracy there.
Though I strongly believe that the “initiator” of this unrest is the rapid rise in food prices, we in the west have essentially no idea what is happening there. None, zero. We also have no way to influence the outcome that will not clearly cause increased meddling by the MB.
So speculating about how this will turn out is, to me, the height of silliness.
How about the US, for once, take its humiliation by keeping its mouth shut and suffering in silence, rather than blowing up balloons and threatening this and threatening that, none of which can be implemented without some form of unconsidered blowback?
“If the planned Caliphate comes to fruition, expect the bloody Arabs to do their usual ‘ethinic cleansing’ to any who do not swear allegiance to their moon goddess cum allah candy bar.”
And expect the useless, treasonous, Oblama-fellating MSM not to say a WORD about it.
In my opinion, we must look at the total incompetence in this Regime and know, without any doubt, that “nothing” this Administration does relating to foreign policy will help the USA or Israel. Domestic policy is equally as grim.
We The People have witnessed absolutely nothing but pure incompetence since January 2009. Expecting anything rational or in our best interests is futile until we vote these anti-American Elitists out of office at every level of government.
If anyone out there doubts this analysis, stick your head further in the sand.
I was reading an Egyptians Tweets he was sending through Jordan and he had a blog . He was calling for a Democracy. He has been arrested and his blog shut down. All I know is you will never hear the truth from the media.
A seven million man march? Fat chance!
Good work—I expect them both to be posting here in another decade!
Get them out.
Fact of life: it doesn't matter worth a damn what "the people" want.
What matters is which side has the most people willing and able to kill for what they want.
