Uprising In Egypt, Tunisia & Rest Of The Arab World

[genie]

What do you all make of it?

Will islamo-fascists take over? or have the arab people within them to elect a democratic pro-human rights party

The U.S. is sending troops to stop the anti-government people. My stance is GO PEOPLEE.

" protesters cheered the army in some areas, calling on them to side with them against the police (3.43 pm). In some areas the army has done so. Soldiers have shaken hands with protesters in Alexandria and in Cairo. Demonstrators have clambered onto tanks in Suez and Cairo. There have also been unconfirmed reports of clashes between the army and police"

Power to the people my sentiments to.

The israeli's and western governments are worried though if the muslim brotherhood take over it would change the whole geo political dynamics of the middle east. Just like the iranian revolution which started of as a popular student revolt in 1979 quickly was hijacked by the mullah's and their supporters into something more sinister. Same thing might happen here if they are able to influence the Egyptian military. From 8,000 pro democracy pro human rights and reform demonstrators in earlier days of egyption protests, to 80,000 today after the muslim brotherhood (fundamentalist islamo-fascist party) called on their supporters to come out on the streets.

The problem is that whenever secular governments are toppled in the Islamic world, they're usually replaced by a Islamic republic consisting of mullahs, etc. As mentioned above by genie, the Iranians are a prime example (in their uprising against the Shah) as well as the recent troubles in Iraq (Saddam Hussein ran Iraq as a secular state, although that was slightly different due to the foreign invasion).

My estimation is that the religious opportunists will attempt to galvanise the hurting people, and attempt to push towards unrest until the country is totally devasted or install one of their own as an alternative to the current (past?) regime. The USA are pooing themselves as they don't want a previously cordial Arab/Muslim country to fall into the hands of American enemies.

It will be interesting to see how events develop.

Yes, it will be interesting. I want to see how this foils out.

Most of the people involved are secular folk and everyday people.

United States of Arabia?!

United States of Arabia?!

One thing I have noticed that the Police and armed forces have not killing their own people on mass during the demos. In India thousands were killed by the forces. The Police do not hesitate to use live ammunition in India.

Could we see the people uprising in India the 80 % who have been left out of economic progress? The recent reports of 35% of Indias wealth having dissapeared offshore taken by its leaders since 1947 has got people angry.

Its funny but when unrest like this starts to occur, you begin to realise how many "puppet", U.S.-friendly Muslim prime ministers and presidents are installed in various Islamic countries in Africa, etc. The corrupt leadership of Tunisia (who fled to Disneyland, lol), and now the almost dictator-like leadership of Egypt (he hasn't lost an election in 30 years) - its all set-up by the U.S. to protect their interests.
