Egypt Could Go Radical Islam!

A lot of wishful thinking on the part of our mass media about the absence of the Islamic Brotherhood. Now really! Do we think that all of this uprising is spontaneous? I know someone might call my opinion cynical but let’s use a better term, REALISTIC. Secondly, let’s think of the idea that if the Islamic brotherhood wasn’t behind the initial phase, they are the best organized and the most single minded in getting inside of it and taking advantage of it for their Islamic fundamentalist agenda. A protester said it best, “…we have the street and now the intellectuals and the leaders of the various groups will need to present us with a solution.” I think that what will happen is that the various democratic groups will be in disarray and argue with each other. The Islamic radicals will be organized, single minded and ruthless in using the crisis to their advantage. This may include a pretend to be democratic stance. Then once inside a new government under the weak willed and too idealistic Baradaei, they will cripple all functions, and hinder all compromise until they can consolidate power inside the government. Then they will take over one government ministry after another with some select murders here and there. The result will be a Islamic dictatorship in one year. The Army leadership will be accused of being an ally of the hated Mubarak, they will be selectively arrested, put before “people’s” courts, convicted and promptly executed. Then those within the government who were naive enough to go along in order to get along will be arrested, along with the Army officers who went along to get along. Once all the killing is over, all of it done under the aegis of the “new democratic government after Mubarak”, what will be left is a thoroughly entrenched Islamic Brotherhood that will have a new secret police and rule Egypt for the next one hundred plus years. Who knows? If their idea of the restoration of the Caliphate takes hold in Egypt, the whole of North Africa may be ruled by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic Brotherhood for the next thousand years. American Liberals must get over the childish idea that just because American politicians don’t go around murdering their opposition, even though it is scary when President Obama is bold enough to call the Republicans “The enemy” anyway, don’t think that Moslem Brotherhood, Hamas and Hezbollah are afraid of murdering their way to power. The pattern of stealing the revolution was used very well by Lenin, and more recently by the Ayatollah Khomenei, and is now in process in Egypt. The Army needs to get back on the street and send the demonstrators home. Then it needs to hold the government accountable and demand a new leader and new parliament. If they do not, then they too will be the unwitting victims of their own naive idealism. Just remember this: The East Germans in 1953, the Poles and the Hungarians in 1956 and the Czechs in 1968 thought that the Americans would protect their revolution and if it went sour the Americans would “save” them. Does anyone think that Secretary Clinton and President Obama are willing to save democracy in Egypt?
