Islamism doesn’t “fade”. It just entrenches itself deeper as time goes by. The Libyan panelist was telling the crowd what it wanted to hear to that we wouldn’t prevent the Islamists from taking over. Classic Muslim Brotherhood move.
Good job, Barack!
I am not sure what Libyan panelist you are referring to. The fellow I spoke of was part of a general discussion among a group, mostly WASP, of Maryland residents.
An interesting point was made in the continuation of the article. Al Qaida made a point of advancing activity in Libya because of its proximity to Egypt. Also since Egypt had one million workers there (Libya population 6 million), it made sense to infiltrate. I will be watching the career of the Tripoli commander, Belhadj, who is connected with interest. I can finally get Al Jazeera English on TV, and reading between the lines learn a lot.
Great point ... cannot disagree.
