Egypt Protest Hero Wael Ghonim Barred From Stage (by Islamists at Tahrir 'Victory March')
Agence France-Press via Hindustan Times ^ | Friday, February 18, 2011

Google executive Wael Ghonim, who emerged as a leading voice in Egypt's uprising, was barred from the stage in Tahrir Square on Friday by security guards, an AFP photographer said. Ghonim tried to take the stage in Tahrir, the epicentre of anti-regime protests that toppled President Hosni Mubarak, but men who appeared to be guarding influential Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi barred him from doing so.

Ghonim, who was angered by the episode, then left the square with his face hidden by an Egyptian flag.

Qaradawi gave a Friday sermon in the square, where hundreds of thousands of people gathered a week after Mubarak's fall, in which he called for Arab leaders to listen to their people.

These useful idiots are incapable of learning from the past.

They’ll die just as badly as their usurpers.

"These useful idiots are incapable of learning from the past. They’ll die just as badly as their usurpers."

Comments are right on. The route has now been paved for the rise of a new Khomeini and Obama's Administration has a hand in this by pushing Islamists for inclusion in the new government.

Yep, and we know the rest of this story too. So far a repeat of exactly how the Ayatollah stepped onto stage in Iran. This is not going to go in a good direction for the people of Egypt...there's no way they can fight their Imans. Not going to happen.

I think the islamists have done a time and morion study. They’ve gotten more efficient. But we haven’t gotten any smarter.

Looks like the little fool helped usher in the Islamofascist regime the MB has been working to install.

Woe to the women?
