Just As We Predicted

I'm no rocket scientist, but even I could see this coming. The Muslim Brotherhood is leading in the Egyptian elections. Who woulda thunk it?

Either Barack Obama is a complete fool to have not seen this for what it is, or our president is quite content with the spread of the Muslim Brotherhood, hardline Islam, and Sharia law.

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood, Salafi Islamist Parties Rolling In Elections, Beating Secular Parties By 2-1 Margin…

"According to the Obama regime, this is a good thing.


(ANSAmed) — CAIRO — 'The Muslim Brotherhood are the top party in Egypt according to the first reports by local press outlets. While vote counting continues for the uninominal part of the first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections, indications show that the Freedom and Justice party, which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Salafi party coalition Al Nour are in the lead in six governorates, according to the daily paper Al Ahram. According to the daily Al Shouruk, Freedom and Justice raked in 47% of the votes while the secular and moderate Egyptian Bloc coalition received 22%. In the first round of voting, which ended yesterday, the residents of nine governorates cast their votes, including those in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Asyut and Port Said.'"

Arab Winter

"After making numerous phone calls and speaking to many Christian leaders in Egypt this week, I have learned that what is really happening on the ground is far removed from the television reporters' happy endorsement of democracy seekers. To describe what is really going on around the country as 'barbaric' would be an understatement. While some of the protestors may be true democracy lovers, the widespread terrorism on display defies all human decency.

The truth about recent events in Egypt reveals that the country has disintegrated into a total anarchy and barbarianism that would make the Vikings blush.

Peaceful Christians are being beheaded in their own homes. Their possessions are being carried off as police either stand helplessly by or, for a portion of the booty, turn a blind eye. And surprise, surprise! Nearly all the victims of beheadings were Christians killed by Muslim fundamentalists.

Not only are the Egyptian Islamists poised to take over the country as a result of elections this week, but these acts of terrorism are serving as propaganda tools to 'prove' that they and they alone can bring order to the country with their Sharia law. So, for now at least, these terrorist acts reinforce their cause and agenda.

So much for President Obama's 'Arab Spring.' When history books are written truthfully, they will reveal that the President's speech in Cairo, one he insisted the Islamists attend, set this barbarism in motion. Another misstep by President Obama was his demand that his ambassador in Cairo negotiate with what, at the time, was an outlawed entity known as the 'Muslim Brotherhood.' This gave the Islamist group a huge comfort level in their push to take over.

While I cannot enter into the man's heart or know his motive, I do wonder how Mr. Obama can sleep at night knowing that his misguided foreign policy emboldened pro-Islamists and caused the deaths of thousands of innocent people.

It gives me no comfort to say, 'I told you so.' But back in January of this year, I warned of such mayhem taking root in Egypt.

Indecisive leadership kills innocent people and causes disasters. Take President Jimmy Carter's vacillating support for the Shah of Iran. In one breath, Carter would support the beleaguered leader, and in the next, he would praise the Iranian Revolution. That indecisiveness led to 52 Americans being taken hostage for 444 days inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

It is precisely the same kind of vacillation and accommodation on the part of Mr. Obama that has emboldened the Islamists around the world. As a result, we have seen jihadist-led bloodbaths from Yemen to Syria and from Libya to Egypt.

On a positive note, it is not too late for Mr. Obama to admit he was wrong and change his policy. In fact, it would be very courageous for him to say, 'I was wrong about the Islamists.' Then he could reverse his policy of accommodation, fire his Islamist advisers in the White House and the State Department and start anew -- with a clean slate of truthfulness and honesty. Until then, we can only wait, hope and pray."
