“Hmm.. this really IS a Civil War, and it is fascinating me to see the separation of Muslims from Islamists.”
The number of Freepers that don’t understand the difference is astounding.
Most Muslims in Egypt are not stuck in the 7th century because they are somewhat educated and they used to have a future. This was the same for the Syrians. And too many are forgetting there are a lot of Christians and even Jews in Syria and Egypt who are targets for the MB and AlQaida. Mubarak and AlAssad kept these groups from attacking others with that iron fist. The situation was not the best but it was a lot better than it is now.
The MB in Egypt and Al Qaida in Syria (basically the same people) exploit the poor and stupid for personal power, just like the race baiters and Socialists do in this country. Egypt is our future if we don’t hold the government to Constitutional standards.
Good comment. I understand the difference.
I will admit that I have struggled to understand the difference myself. It has not always been clear to me. It is complex and confusing, mostly because the media and the other greedy power players from all over the world keep lying to us and misdirecting us from the truth.
The puppet masters keep baiting people against each other, for their personal gain. It is the same exact pattern everywhere.
The Founding Fathers of this country must have understood this, as they developed a way for us to have a civil and peaceful society, away from puppetmasters.
Too bad so many Americans wanted a king instead and left the barn door open to the world’s nightmares.
NOW I totally get it. Absolute power corrupts- ESP when the power seekers do not have anything but hedonism to guide their behaviors.
Enter the US Constitution. You are right.
I’ve said for a long time that the young folks in the ME are pretty well Westernized. Just look at how they look and act in the crowds for instance. They aren’t gonna put up with the 12th century muzzie sharia krap. It’s going to be a rough ride for them but they are the ones we should find ways to support-—use the old Clinton “-anyone over 30” rule. I was around when we were educating/working some of their parents over here decades ago. Those folks weren’t going home to tend goats, thump korans, weave flying carpets, and live in tents.
