It’s not Iran, yes there are echoes and parallels. Egypt is poorer, and they NEED relationships with the secular world and Israel for income. I’m making a leap, but I assume some of the Army knows that and knows they HAVE TO STOP the religious zealots. It may be that Facebook and Google just make the night jobs of black-robed and masked death squads easier.
And if that doesn’t happen ...
The most likely outcome is a bloody mano-a-mano civil war in the dark, jmo.
And to calm that chaos the Army might declare war on some neighboring state, thus to marshal patriotic impulse.
It further explains what is happening in the ME right now. If you still believe that this is truly a Secular Democracy taking shape, study the details of what I outlined above. Then see for yourself if this is just a non related coincidence in the region.
I stress that it is real and growing and extremely dangerous to the entire Western World. And these events in Egypt are just the beginning.
