This guy apparently is as much an expert on islam and Dick Morris is on politics. IOW, worthless.
Has the ring of famous last words.
From chaos, comes order, a strong man, a military junta, or an ayatolla, of course, I'm not an expert.
Egypt’s toast. The Islamderthals will grind what little civilization they have there into powder in no time.
I can assure you General Custer, there are no Indians withing fifty miles of that river......
Thats what Muslims do. They riot. Violence is all they know. They don't know happiness, do not feel God's love and do not know a daughter's love.
They have the only solution that ever matters in Arab lands: "Your troubles are all the fault of the Jews, and if you keep us in power we will kill them for you."
Wow. And here I was concerned that radical Islamofascists were taking over yet another country with the wink and nod of Obammie the Commie and his Marxist/National Socialist Secretary of State (Mrs. Bill “I Sold Missile-Guidance Technology to the ChiComs to Get Elected” Clinton).
Thanks goodness for these “experts.”
they know as we know that the best way to unify the different factions is to start something with Israel - that will pull them together - to fight a common enemy - works every time. Obama may try it next year as an act of desperation.

Everything in that post (except the headline) I totally agree with and have made the same points in the past. Egypt is broke. 30% unemployment (and that isn’t the real number, because it doesn’t count women who are forbidden to work by their husbands or fathers etc). They have 3 main legitimate industries all of them small - tourism, oil/gas, agriculture. None of these can sustain the population. It’s not like suddenly Egypt is going to become a great industrial power, or a great textile exporter, or a great country rich in natural resources nobody yet found. The people of Egypt are truly in trouble and the Islamists cannot, will not change that situation.
However, what the expert seems to miss is that at times like these when the people are angry and desperate, the leaders will activate the 4th main industry that every country has - military. If 1 million people protest the Islamists in Tahrir square one of two things will happen, either the Islamists will kill their own people and there will be civil war, or the Islamists will say “we are poor and the jews are rich, they are Satan, lets go kill them” and there will be international war.
The guy may be an expert in Egypt, but he is no expert on how people react towards the Jews when they are in desperate straits and he is apparently no expert in Bolshevism or Islamic revolution. War - civil or other - is a likely outcome. $5 billion a year from the US won’t change that. Maybe $50 billion a year would give them money to feel better and perhaps start some kind of nation building but we aren’t going to give them that and we shouldn’t. War may be the right solution for them - to thin the population and teach the next generation to reform their country.
