And what will happen to the treasures of Egypt in a heavily secular society? You know the ones I mean...the ones which fundamentalists consider obscene and "unIslamic?"

Here's a good article about the Arab 'liberals' lamenting how Obama and western leaders and media have supported the Islamists in taking over the so-called 'Arab Spring' revolutions and installing backward, intolerant Sharia law making these countries more repressive than under the dictators they replaced with women oppressed, gays persecuted and Christians, Jews and Baha'is being ehtnically cleansed.

Now Obama is still pushing to help the Muslim Brotherhood with its backers al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria where minority religions have been treated better than in most Islamic ruled lands, but look to be ethnically cleansed when/if the Islamists take control. Other western leaders have seen the writing on the wall and stopped backing this Islamist takeover. Not Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood's best western friend. Whose side is this guy on?

Do you want to see the TRUTH about Egypt and the Arab world in general?

An Algerian author says it like it is! And after that long, horrendous, bloody Islamic war in Algeria, the Algerians voted for NON-Islamist candidates in the most recent elections. THEY KNOW ISLAM IS A DISASTER. THEY LIVED IT. Now any Islamist winning in Egypt will be a disaster.

Watch this Arab author talk about the Arab culture/mindset. I applaud him for his absolute, truthful, and painful sizing up of the Arabs and even Egypt. It was true when he said it in 2009, and I believe it still is true now.

Very interesting, more in depth analysis by Prof. Barry Rubin, who has called it right in the Middle East on the Arab Spring, while the Western media has been in denial.

The odds of this election being legitimate is anyone's guess. A candidate free from the Brotherhood winning would be a stunning win. With Obama backing the Brotherhood candidates says a lot about him, America and Egypt's future.

The only hope for a democratic and peaceful Egypt is a secular government. Islamic movements have a well documentedi history of intolerance towards other religions so an Islamic government would create and cause dissension among the Christian minority, and oppose liberal democacies, such as the US.

May be the fervor of the Islamic Extremism is like an illness many Muslim nations have to pass as kids overpass children sicknesses. When tired of starving and blaming all their troubles on West and Israel, finally people come to senses and embrace the modernity.
