Egypt - Bad News for the US

There is joy in the streets of Egypt. Foreign news reporters have subscribed to the joy of the celebration. Dictator Mubarak has resigned and the people will gain economic and personal freedom. President Obama and his Administration are also ecstatic with the successful revolution. It is all good? No. Most of it is bad.

Let's put the emotions aside for a moment and look at some facts. While President Obama was a dictator allowing limited personal and economic powers to the Egyptian people, he was a bulwark against Islam in the Middle East. His resignation has raised the power of Islam to a considerably higher level. The military government is only temporary and Muslims will soon start to demonstrate their newfound power. And power it is, with control of the Suez Canal, through which a good portion of the world's good passes in transportation.

I suggest that when we hear about or talk about the Muslim Brotherhood, we forget the brotherhood part. They are Muslims pure and simple. The Muslim doctrine is to convert all people to Islam and to kill those who do not conform. Many will say that modern Muslims do not believe that. Not on your life. The culture is imbued, just as Christian culture is imbued with many people in the US. They will fight to the death for their religion. Many in the US do not follow Christian doctrine, even though they are Christians. This is also true with Muslims, but the majority of Muslims are still the personal enemies of Christians. It is highly likely there will be a religious war between Muslims and Christians, as there has been in the past. Muslims have previously talked about the jihad. It is now more imminent with the departure of Mubarak and the rising control of Muslims in Egypt.

I have never supported nation building and have always been opposed to the war in Iraq and now Afghanistan. If we think that we have rebuilt Egypt in a new Democratic image we have another thought coming. Egypt will now be another enemy to the US in the Middle East. The Shah of Iran also kept Islam at bay. With his disposal, we developed in Iran a new Islamic enemy. The Egyptian Revolution will follow the same course.

The sad part about it is that we have lost thousands of brave US military men and women in our Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. With several days of uprising in Egypt, our sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan has become a completely wasteful experience. However even with the thousands that have been lost in Iraq/Afghanistan, this will pale in comparison with a bloody jihad.

Another sad part is that US citizens have elected President Obama, who has no idea of American culture since he was not raised in the US. He is also a Muslim sympathizer, which is why he and his Administration are ecstatic with the Mubarak overthrow. I wonder how he is going to feel when millions of US citizens are slaughtered by Muslims.
