Islamists sweep Egypt elections
AFP, via Hindustan Times ^ | Dec. 3, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 12/03/2011 11:36:57 AM PST by La Enchiladita

Early results from Egypt's first post-revolution election showed Islamist parties sweeping to victory, including hardline Salafists, with secular parties trounced in many areas. Partial figures trickled in for the areas of the country that voted in record numbers on Monday and Tuesday, confirming earlier predictions that Islamist parties would win at least two thirds of the ballots cast.

In Port Said, the moderate Islamist alliance led by the previously banned Muslim Brotherhood triumphed with 32.5% of votes for parties, while the hardline Al-Nur party gained 20.7%, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.

The liberal Wafd party won 14%, while another Islamist party Al-Wassat, which advocates a strict interpretation of Islamic law, recorded 12.9%, according to Al-Ahram.

Here is an interesting link of a list of incidents. Take note of the November 1997 one. http://www.usdivetravel.com/T-EgyptTerrorism.html

We went to Egypt for a couple weeks traveling all over the country a few years ago. Their historical sites, their food, their culture (at least most of it) was very interesting. I am so glad we went then. I would not go now.

Been to DC and Paris also Israel and Jordan. I had the option of going to Egypt on the same trip to Israel and Jordan and declined. My sister went to Egypt with a high school group. A teacher of hers who was with her on that trip was offered 20 sheep and goats for her. He laughed it off but there was something chilling about the whole thing to me when it was told to me after she had come back.

Pam Gellar:
“All American Muslims” is an attempt to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to bully them into thinking that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.

The problem people have with Islam is its teachings of violence against and the subjugation of unbelievers. It is with the supremacist ideology and the fervent believers in those noxious doctrines of warfare and subjugation. The ultimate danger posed by a program presenting the “normal” side of life for American Muslims is that it isn’t’t accurate.

The danger is in the deception and obfuscation of the truth which results in the intellectual disarming of the American people.”

What's next? Will the hardliners blowup the pyramids like the Taliban did to the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?

Without the media ever challenging them on a Theocracy, both Obama and Hillary said it was OK for the people to choose the government they want, and so be it, not one mention of our Constitution and what it means.

‘Show us what Bros-ocracy looks like’....... all the liberal idiots in the media and elsewhere just raved about the Arab Spring democracy. Won’t be long until the Sharia Law tyrants clamp down on ‘democratic freedoms’..... living in a SandRat paradise.

He is beyond Carter. Carter gave us Iran. Obama has given us Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and to some extent Turkey. On the home front Holder and the rest of his cabinet.....

So much worse....

Interesting turn in Egyptian politics-the Muslim Brotherhood
is considered the “moderate party”.

Egypt just voted for war with Israel

And Egypt will be wiped out as a result of any war they engage in with Israel.

The first thing they’re going to do is insure they never lose power.

I disagree with the comparison to Carter. With Carter it was stupidity and incompetence.

This is what BO wanted.

Let’s get ready to rumble, in this corner, the pride of the scumbags, the source of barbaric culture and the disillusioned followers of the pervert prophet Mohamm...and in the other corner, the apple of the real God’s eye, the people of God, the Israeli’s and friends...
