arab spring reversed

The Arab Spring began in Tunisia, and it’s lurching toward the brink again just weeks after the Egyptian army overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood government.
Last week an assassin took out left-wing opposition leader Mohammed Brahmi with a 9mm pistol. Ballistics reports indicate the killer used the exact same weapon to murder another opposition leader, Chokri Belaid, last winter. And this week Al Qaeda-linked terrorists dug in on Mount Chambi killed at least eight Tunisian soldiers.
Ennahda, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, is taking the heat. While they aren’t being fingered as directly responsible, they’re being blamed all the same because they dominate the government and they’ve gone easy on the extremists this past year and have sometimes even colluded with them.
Thousands of furious demonstrators converged on parliament this week, yelling, “the people want the fall of the assassins.” Police officers repelled them with tear gas. Prime Minister Ali Larayedh refuses to step down and is blasting the demonstrators as “anarchists.”
Unlike in Egypt, the Islamists won less than half the vote in the election. Tunisians are stuck with them anyway, though, because secularists split their votes among dozens of parties and the Islamists walked away with a plurality. And though they were forced into a coalition with liberal and secular parties, they still got to choose the prime minister.

The bear strikes again.
Now, what in world did anyone expect? All of a sudden, a MUSLIM COUNTRY will vote for a “DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC”? Who is anybody trying to fool? Name me a “MUSLIM COUNTRY” other than Malaysia, that has voted for anyone other than another dictatorship? These muslims in the middle east don’t know any other type of government. Oh, they’ll all be for a “DEMOCRATICALLY” elected government, as long as it’s their people being elected. Just like Egypt. But for the normal people to vote for another candidate, not the choosing of these people, that’s an abomination to ALLAH. So, whether we like it or not, there will always be a dictator “ELECTED” by these muslims.

The only place where the MB is thriving is in the US.
Whoopie, more Muslim refugees to flood Europe.
Arab Spring began in Tunisia... Last week an assassin took out left-wing opposition leader Mohammed Brahmi with a 9mm pistol. Ballistics reports indicate the killer used the exact same weapon to murder another opposition leader, Chokri Belaid, last winter. And this week Al Qaeda-linked terrorists dug in on Mount Chambi killed at least eight Tunisian soldiers. Ennahda, the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, is taking the heat... they dominate the government and they’ve gone easy on the extremists... and have sometimes even colluded with them... "the people want the fall of the assassins." ...Prime Minister Ali Larayedh refuses to step down...There is no strong Tunisian army to remove his sorry ass, so there will be a series of angry protests, followed by conciliatory gestures to the Islamofascists, by Zero, Lurch, and Hagel.
...secularists split their votes among dozens of parties and the Islamists walked away with a plurality... got to choose the prime minister.Hey, I got an idea -- let's do the same thing here in America!
