There are no surprises here. The CIA, M15 and Mossad wanted to install these repressive and fanatic Islamic regimes from the onset of their preplanned and cynical Arab Spring. It will certainly make it much easier for the MSM to rouse hatred for Muslims in the West when such oppressive leaders ~ with the tacit approval of Western governments ~ take power.
Why cynical, you might ask? These movements were designed and created to
bring down repressive leaders who have already driven the populace to poverty
and desperation. That desperation was stoked and manipulated by the above
mentioned organizations to bring about the downfall of said despots enabling
the desired regime changes that further their cause in the Arab world.
These sinister folks must be thrilled that their plans are going just as desired.

Hosni Mubarak, Egypt’s deposed dictator, is reportedly still
in a coma after being handed a life sentence earlier this month for complicity
in the deaths of almost 1,000 protesters during last year’s mass uprising
against his tyrannical rule.
He is a man utterly lacking in charisma, who has only ever
been interested in enriching his family and the corrupt tycoons who surrounded
him. Few will shed any tears when he dies.
However, while Mubarak was no better known for his political
acumen than for his benevolent rule, he has been proven right about one thing
at least.
.

Sweeping to power: Muslim Brotherhood
supporters in Cairo's Tahrir Square at the weekend
.
A few days before he was forced to step down in February
last year, he warned that sudden, dramatic change in the land of the pharaohs
would lead only to anarchy, followed by a takeover by the fundamentalist Muslim
Brotherhood party and the imposition of strict Islamic law.
Gradual political reform, in other words, was preferable to
revolutionary upheaval that had no agenda other than ousting the current
leader.
That advice, at the time mocked as the self-serving twaddle
it partly was, now seems strikingly prescient. Indeed, Mubarak could have been
talking about the consequences of revolutionary chaos not just for Egypt, but
the Arab region as a whole.
.
Warnings: Both MI5 Director-General Jonathan
Evans, and former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, said that the Arab Spring
would allow extremists to seize power
.
ED: I wonder how they knew the long term plans for the revolution
in Egypt!
On Monday, Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, warned that the
mayhem caused by the so-called Arab Spring has resulted in the creation of new
Al Qaeda training camps throughout the Middle East, especially in Syria and
Libya, where British jihadis are receiving training in terrorist tactics. They
are intent, he added, on returning to Britain to launch attacks here.
The terrifying reality is indeed that Islamists of various
factions are taking advantage of the febrile volatility in the regime to flex
their muscles.
Egypt’s new president has just been announced. He is Mohamed
Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. His victory ends a year of political
transition in the country during which the Muslim Brotherhood has thrashed
their liberal opponents in every election that’s been held.
.
A wolf in sheep's clothing: The Muslim
Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi has won the Egyptian Presidency
On Sunday, Morsi called for national unity. That will be a
tall order. Like other so-called ‘moderate’ Islamist leaders throughout the
region, he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The truth is that the Muslim
Brotherhood will now set about implementing their real agenda: imposing Sharia
law and encouraging the growth of extreme Islam.
Still championed by over-excited, ill-informed pundits in
the West, and kept alive on the ground by a gaggle of equally naive,
out-of-touch and mostly English-speaking local activists, the bitter truth is
that the so-called Arab Spring has proved a dismal failure on every level.
Nothing good has come of it at all, if judged by the classic
Western values of liberty, freedom of expression and democratic accountability.
.
Hijacked: Syria's initially moderate and
peaceful uprising has been taken over by Islamist fighters
.
From Egypt to Tunisia, Yemen to Libya, shockingly high crime
rates, economies in free-fall and decimated tourism industries are the
terrifying new realities Arabs must now confront.
And in each of those countries, radical Islamists have moved
quickly to fill the social and political vacuum. They have used a simple
strategy: relying on gaining a majority from the minority who vote, and
blatantly disregarding rules that ban foreign campaign donations from
neighbouring states, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, looking to extend their influence
in the region.
Both these countries, although Western allies, also
subscribe to Wahhabism ~ the strictest and most austere interpretation of Islam
that even bans contact between unrelated men and women. They also consider it
their God-given duty to promote this ‘pure’ version of Islam whenever the
opportunity arises, thus their attempts to exploit the Middle East’s disarray.
ED: Such repression of males and females, especially women, is NOT part of true Islam.
ED: Such repression of males and females, especially women, is NOT part of true Islam.
In Morocco, Kuwait and Algeria ~ the only Arab countries
that have held parliamentary elections during the past year ~ affiliates of the
Muslim Brotherhood have swept to power.
Now the Muslim Brotherhood itself has also triumphed in both
Egypt’s parliamentary and presidential elections. Meanwhile, Syria’s initially
popular and peaceful uprising is in the midst of being hijacked by a band of
fanatical international jihadists also intent on imposing Sharia law.
These more extremist Syrian insurgents, who employ classic
terrorist tactics such as suicide bombings and kidnappings, are being funded by
the most repressive, undemocratic Islamist theocracy in the region: Saudi
Arabia.
Ironically, because of the grip of its leaders, the
repressive Saudi kingdom itself has witnessed no major uprising, apart from
sporadic demonstrations among its repressed Shia minority.
Meanwhile, in Libya ~ despite Britain and France’s
intervention ~ Islamist militias now rule the streets. The country is at
serious risk of being torn apart along tribal and regional lines.
Just last week, more than 100 people were killed in clashes
between rival tribes in Libya’s south, and a band of armed Islamists occupied
the capital’s airport in protest at the arrest of one of their members. The
Libyan transitional government exists only in name.
In neighbouring Tunisia, the birthplace of this Arabian
nightmare, thousands of zealots last week rioted throughout the country ~ the
latest violent agitations against artworks deemed insulting to Islam. What was
once the most socially liberal and progressive Arab country has, like Egypt, in
a year become yet another backwater for extreme Islam.
Tunisia, too, is now governed by a Muslim Brotherhood
offshoot called Ennahda. Its electoral success, like that of the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, is widely reported to have been achieved in part by
substantial funding from the states of the Persian Gulf ~ Saudi Arabia and
Qatar.
Thus we are witnessing a ruthlessly successful
counter-revolution led by these two countries. For both nations, secularism and
democracy are anathema, as they are using their immense wealth to successfully
install their extremist Islamist proxies.
The terrifying reality is that we are seeing once secular,
tolerant cultures being dragged back to the Middle Ages ~ and with the implicit
blessing of the West. Indeed, Saudi Arabia’s continued status as a vital
Western ally holds up a mirror to the rank hypocrisy of the pro-democracy
rhetoric we hear from the likes of Barack Obama and David Cameron.
How extraordinary it was to hear last week, for example,
Western leaders’ gushing praise on the occasion of the death of Saudi interior
minister Prince Naif. This was a man who, for decades, was at the helm of a
vast army of internal security forces that had a repugnant record for crushing
all political dissent.
The truth is from the outset of the Arab Spring realpolitik
dictated the Western powers’ determination to contain Iran and ultimately
trumped any concerns about human rights and democracy. Sunni Saudi Arabia is Shia-dominated
Iran’s arch-enemy. Saudi Arabia is Britain’s biggest trading partner and a
reliable source of affordable oil.
Yet, despite all this, liberals in the West continue to call
for more uprisings in the Arab world, more bravery from the protesters, more
upheavals, more violence and chaos ~ all in the name of a democracy in which
most Arabs have no interest in partaking, and which is being shamelessly
manipulated by outside powers.

the Arab Spring: How Islamists Hijacked The Middle East Revolts
THE
ARAB SPRING SO FAR
TUNISIA
The ousting of staunchly secular Tunisian dictator Ben Ali in January 2011 marked the birth of the Arab Spring.The country’s subsequent descent into religious extremism, lawlessness and economic ruin is a microcosm of what has happened throughout the region in all the countries caught up in the ongoing turmoil.Elections last October brought to power Ennahda, the self-professed ‘moderate’ Islamist political party that is affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood and which was banned under Ben Ali.However, tens of thousands of more radical Salafi Muslims have been causing constant mayhem on the streets of Tunis and throughout the country, attacking liberal artists and filmmakers, firebombing shops that sell alcohol, and assaulting women who refuse to wear the veil.In recent weeks, rumours have been rife in the country that the Salafis may be about to launch an armed insurrection. Their goal: creating a hardline Islamist state.
LIBYA
The National Transitional Council, which has ruled since last year’s Nato-led uprising in Libya, governs in name only. Since the fall of Tripoli in August 2011, Libya has been in turmoil.Officials openly admit billions of dollars have been smuggled out of the country by corrupt officials and businessmen, while the country’s infrastructure is disintegrating.Just this month, the British ambassador’s vehicle was attacked by rocket-propelled grenades, and the U.S. Consulate was bombed. The latter attack was claimed by a local Islamist group, which said it was angered by assassinations of suspected Al Qaeda members in Pakistan.
Parliamentary elections slated for this month have been postponed until July 7, with officials citing ‘logistical and technical’ reasons for the delay. Not that most people in this most tribal of Arab countries, as elsewhere in the region, are likely to care.
EGYPT
Since Mubarak was ousted, the Muslim Brotherhood has repeatedly shown it is willing ~ indeed eager ~ to reach compromises with the elite group of generals overseeing the messy transition to democracy.That co-operation will continue now that Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi is president.The Muslim Brotherhood will leave policy decisions concerning the defence budget and foreign relations to the generals.
Instead, it will concentrate on radicalizing Egyptian society through parliament ~ with devastating consequences for the liberal elite and religious minorities.
SYRIA
Exaggerated reports of the imminent overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad’s authoritarian regime have been a staple of the Western media for more than a year.However, the initially peaceful street demonstrations have been hijacked by armed gangs of radical Islamists, whose members are drawn from both inside and outside the country. For the time being, the majority of the Syrian people are therefore sticking with the devil they know.Still, with the Syrian regime’s crackdown on all dissent as ruthless as ever, the country could quickly descend into bloody civil war.
