Welcome to the new reality of cold, hard choices in Egypt, and the consequences of democracy in regions where radicalism thrives. In order to stay ahead of the crisis in Egypt, the Obama administration yesterday signaled that it supports the participation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyptian politics as long as they renounce violence and commit to democracy
While Obama has been president Hezb’allah has taken control of Lebanon.
Mubarak has just announced he will step down in Sept.
(Wow! and he always won with ~99% of the vote!)
Now Muslim Brotherhood will position itself to take over Egypt.
The king of Jordan has fired his Cabinet and will replace them.
Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution opened the way for the remaining Jewish Temples to be set ablaze, destroying their Torahs.
Tunisia used to not bother with the mandatory 3 years in prison for anyone caught being a homosexual, but now the Islamists are going to be in charge.
The gays of Tunisia are very concerned.
The Tunisian interim government has already lashed out against all of the women who came out with men to bring about the revolution.
At the Tunisian Casbar all protesting women were arrested for (what their own ”new” government’s police) disturbing the peace and stability.
What we need is more news getting out so we can see how it is going under these new, baby governments.
There’s an unsubstantiated rumor that Obama sent former US ambassador to Egypt Frank Wisner to Egypt to meet with the Muslim Brotherhood and assure them a free ride to rulership.
This is certainly looking more true as the day wears on.
Mubarak announced new elections in Sept…….he wants to stay on until them.
ElBaraday now says he would only be interested in a temporary job as president, say, until Sept, if Mubarak steps down sooner.
That means Muslim Brotherhood will waltz in on the ballot in Sept.
All of their pretense of being peaceable and of respecting the rights of minorities (especially non-Muslim minorities) will drop away after they win.
Then expect Jahiliyya, as they have promised this for years.*
*Jahiliyya, the systematic destruction of all relics of any pre-Islamic past.
In Egypt that would include all the wonders of the world, the Pyramids, the Sphinx, those statues and columns at Giza and all of the rest.
Just like the Muslim Botherhood’s offshoots did in Afghanistan with the giant Buddhas.
From June of 2010 –
Obama may or may not be a Muslim, but one thing for sure, he is the worst President ever in the history of our country.
Time will tell, but I definitely hope the GOP does not underestimate him in the coming months leading up to the next election cycle.
