Barack Hussein Obama may be the godfather of the Islamic revolution. The tempo and turmoil of regional events fit his agenda, and may be a result of his policies.
Radical transforming political developments in the Middle East and North Africa have given rise to criticism over the failure of President Obama’s foreign policy. Pro-American regimes, as in Tunisia and Egypt, have virtually been toppled by mass protest in the name of ending corruption and nepotism, and demanding liberty and democracy, economic justice and social welfare for lower impoverished classes.
Other regional leaders, like King Abdullah in Jordan, are targeted by popular opposition, and in Lebanon the Western-oriented Hariri government has been brought down. The U.S.-supported Palestinian Abu Mazen regime has come on hard times, with the Qatari Al-Jazeera campaign undermining its political legitimacy. Iran-supported Hamas is the beneficiary of this development.
Since entering the White House, Obama has been transparent in promoting his views and policies. In the domestic arena, he favors construction of a large mosque near Ground Zero though a majority of Americans oppose this controversial step; ...; and he refused to describe the Fort Hood killing spree of thirteen soldiers by Muslim major Nidal Malik Hasan as a crime inspired by Islam.
The elevated status of Islam in America was already announced at Obama’s inaugural address when he referred to America as a nation of “Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus.” The Jews had been surpassed by Muslims in the politico-religious hierarchy, while later Obama speaking in the name of America stated that ‘We are no longer a Christian nation’. A clear instance of Islamic prioritization occurred when NASA’s new mandate was ordered by Obama to be outreach to Muslim countries, and to make them feel good about their contribution to science.

"Duh, who else?"
Obama is totally irrelevant. Projection of America as a cause is absolute ignorance.
The change has been underway for years, decades even, and finally erupted.
If America has a role it is as educator of the many many young Arabs who came here for schooling and as representatives of American or European businesses in their home countries.
If we were talking about anyone other than someone from the Middle East I would agree; however the rigorous tenets of long early years of schooling in the madrassas of Islam override any Western presumption that these transplanted Muslims can be co-opted by any type of appeal to a secular or constitutional rule-of-law sensibility outside of the tenets of Sharia. It's a nice dream but that's all it is. Capitalism and technology will not trump Allah.
How many young Arab business men or professional have you known?
May be. That has been his purpose all alone. He cancels the Prayer Breakfast in DC and says he is a Christian then goes to the Muslim Prayer Breakfast. America has become a stupid nation with tunnel vision and deserves everything she gets.He hides behind nothing but words!
Will Jews all over the world suddenly come to their senses and realize that BHO is not on their side at all?
Whatever bad is going on here or abroad, Obama is for it.
Check out Jimmy Carter before calling BHO “grandfather”.
oops. “godfather”.
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Barack Obama, 2008 campaign.
You know, he neither said who ‘we’ is, nor did he specify the nation(s) the civilians would be in (presumably the US). Nor did he name the security objectives.
Research does show the age of ME/African leaders/dictators is older in comparison to the youth of the population, and so these countries are ripe fruit for change in governance.

Suggest reading up on the ‘Rapid Response Media’ section and the ‘Dialogue Cafe.’ May be innocuous, but with Riseup.net & Movements.org, it’s not so clear.
This might come up for discussion on Tuesday evening at my synagogue. A (middle-aged) rabbinic intern (very sharp lawyer) is going to be discussing "The problem of ultra-left-wing Jews" this Tuesday evening. Beer and snacks provided, small donation requested. Contact me via FReepMail if you want more details.

Centuries even.
Gasoline helps.
If you think the dance in our MSM to paint the Muslim Brotherhood as a civic minded group of secular Muslims is just an accident, you are sadly mistaken.
The acting President is chirping about bringing about "democracy," but now the elections that were scheduled for September are postponed until next year, or indefinitely. It's practice for next year in America.
