Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood called on its rivals to accept the will of the people on Saturday after a first-round vote set its party on course to take the most seats in the country's first freely elected parliament in six decades.

that figures. So much for the concept of moderate muslims.

Thaanks Obama. You threw Mubarik under the bus and this is what you get. Shades of Jimmy Carter when he threw the Shah of Iran under the bus.

I’m sure there was no pressure involved in the elections and everything was on the up-and-up. *cough*

[Lady Lucky]

We tremble for the people of Egypt, especially the non-muslims and the women. Islamists will destroy them like ancient relics.

Nice work obumbler.

Obama does seem determined to follow the Carter template but also to do a more thorough and long lasting job of it.

To anyone who lived through the Carter years this is like having to live through the same nightmare - but this time it's 1,000 times worse.

Carter was more of an incompetent bungler than an ideologue.

Obama is a hard core ideologue - Marxist, socialist, America hater, pro-muslim, racist black supremacist.

His mind is a trash heap of failed ideologies and pschotic resentments.

I have no doubt that Newt’s comments, in response to the question that will be posed to him in the “Donald Debate”, on the efficacy of the ObamaAdmin Arab Spring policy will be telling.

Incidentally, has the ABCBSNBCNN, NYTimes, WaPOSt , etc., Networks reported the results of the Egyptian Elections yet?

So much for me ever visiting the Pyramids...

All msm articles tell us about the Muslim Brotherhood’s charitable activities. Never a mention of why they might have been outlawed by Mubarak...or their ties to other well known terrorist groups such as Hamas...

I suspect we are about to see another ‘triumph’ for progressive foreign policy...

Sorry, but I don’t accept that this widely-assumed-to-exist sub-category of supposedly non-problematic Muslims exists at all, regardless of what labels we use. Even the most genuinely nominal, congenial, peaceful, cooperative Muslims out there are still, in some small way, contributing to the problem that we face simply by identifying themselves as Muslim at all. Their chosen self-identity alone contributes to the momentum of the Sharia agenda on a broader level.

Think about it this way: If you knew that the ideology that you were identifying yourself with taught all these horrible and destructive things, and you genuinely felt that they were horrible and destructive, and you could see that there were many people all over the world that shared your ideological label carrying out these horrible and destructive instructions every hour of every day, causing misery everywhere, why on Earth would you continue to identify yourself with the ideology at all? Would we not have considered a “nominal” Nazi, or a “nominal” State Shintoist during World War 2 to be problematic no matter how genuinely casual they might have been about it?
We need to stop kidding ourselves. It’s perfectly legitimate to hold people responsible for the ideologies with which they associate themselves, no matter how casually they do it. Casual, cooperative Muslims don’t need “space,” they need to be held to account.

Another primer in why democracy doesn’t work.

Its already started. Christians decided to protest about their churches being systematically destroyed and the Egyptian army decided to teach them not to do that again. About 120 were killed a few weeks back. Tanks were very effective against the demonstrators. Snipers were used extensively too.

Well said.

Or as Travis McGee put it: “Radical islam is an insane murder cult. Moderate islam is its Trojan Horse in the west.”

and yet ...While the international community and much of the world's media has been focused on the so-called "Arab Spring" and on events transpiring across the Middle East, they seem to have turned a blind eye to South East Asia and in particular on West Papua and the plight of the West Papuan's...
