I was at a discussion group recently. A Libyan who spoke very good English and has lived here a long time was of the opinion that there would be a surge in Islamic presence in governments, but that then it would fade again. Time will tell.
I’m trying to think of a case in which Islam has simply “faded” once it had a hold of something...
Maybe he shouldn’t hold his breath.
Islamism doesn’t “fade”. It just entrenches itself deeper as time goes by. The Libyan panelist was telling the crowd what it wanted to hear to that we wouldn’t prevent the Islamists from taking over. Classic Muslim Brotherhood move.
Good job, Barack!
