According to the White House, the news media, and other detractors of freedom and United States interests, the terrible Honsi Mubarak, President of Egypt, has finally been disposed and good riddance. Mubarak was not the poster boy for democracy nor was he the most benevolent of Arab leaders. But he was a staunch supporter of Israel, strongly anti-terrorist, a friend of the United States. He brings back to mind Tito, the cold war leader of Yugoslavia. The story goes that Harry Truman and Josef Stalin were discussing the Balkans and Stalin commented that Tito was a real son-of-a-bitch. Truman agreed, but then commented that Tito was “our son-of-a-bitch.”
The analogy fit Mubarak well. We may have disagreed with much of what he did, but he supported our interests in the mid-East, was able to contain much of the terrorism against Israel and the United States, kept the Suez Canal open, and was not disruptive to American interests as are most of our so-called friends in that part of the world. In short, his interests coincided with many of ours, and that made life easier.
But to listen to the leftists, he was all bad. It was good, according the White House and other socialist Democrats, that he is gone, ousted by a popular uprising led by the freedom loving, democratic leaning sect, the Muslim Brotherhood. Or are they? With connections to al-Qa'ida, Hamas, their objectives are certainly questionable. Regardless of the rhetoric, the Muslim Brotherhood is a group which has as its main objective, as pointed out in Congressional hearings, "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
The type of Islamic doctrine which will be brought to Egypt with the change of theological thinking in Egypt can be best expressed by a recent poll by the Pew Research Center. Interesting facts of the poll include the following:
• 49% of Egyptians say Islam plays only a "small role" in public affairs under President Hosni Mubarak, while 95% prefer the religion play a "large role in politics."
• 84% favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim faith.
• 82% support stoning adulterers.
• 77% think thieves should have their hands cut off.
• 54% support a law segregating women from men in the workplace.
• 54% believe suicide bombings that kill civilians can be justified.
• Nearly half support the terrorist group Hamas.
• 30% have a favorable opinion of Hezbollah.
• 20% maintain positive views of al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden.
• 82% of Egyptians dislike the U.S. — the highest unfavorable rating among the 18 Muslim nations Pew surveyed.
It is unfortunate that Obama and the news media have just simply got it wrong. It is interesting that CNN reporter Anderson Cooper reported that the rioters in Cairo were mostly secular yuppies longing for human rights especially after he was beaten by an anti-American mob.
The Egyptians, along with other Islamic Muslims, have no interest in democracy or equal rights. They look at our principles as valueless. They want Islamic culture, and are willing to kill and die to force it upon our country.
The responsibility of the Administration and Congress is to protect our citizens, our country, and our way of life. They are failing in this responsibility to an extent which is treasonous. The disaster which is Egypt should not be accepted nor condoned. The present policy being followed by Obama will bring the end of freedom to America by a victory by Muslim religious fanatics.
There has been no change in the ideology of Islam. We are involved in a war to the death with Muslim terrorists and murderers. And with the help of an inept president and congress, we are losing.
Wake up, America. Our freedom is being taken away from us. Our Constitution is being disregarded. We are on the edge of disaster. Stand up for your rights of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, and freedom from want. If you don’t protect them, nobody will.
