So our choices are:
Live with it.
Exterminate them.
Try to find a way to convert them.
Installing dictators that will keep them under control will only kick the can down the road and allow countervailing forces to work equally hard to stir up trouble.

We can judge Obama’s true motives (in case those are not obvious from everything else he does) from his support for the “Arab Spring”. Obama supports the transition from brutal dictators who do not threaten America, Israel, or Europe to brutal but popular dictators who support mass murder of anyone who is not from their particular sect within Islam - but only after exterminating the United States, Israel, and Europe.

“arab spring” is a euphemism. They meant something else, but were afraid to say it. Christian Arabs don’t need any Spring.

You have in the middle east millions of violent, ignorant people many of whom are made so by their religion. They're not intelligent to keep up with the civilized world, but they're canny enough to know how to kill people and destroy culture. They're too busy hating other peoples and thinking of ways to slaughter their enemies (virtually everybody else) in large numbers instead of thinking about contributing something worthwhile to the world. They contribute next to nothing in the areas of science, technology, and medicine.

When they immigrate to civilized countries, many of them take their backwardness and violence with them and refuse to assimilate. Their religious leaders are always threatening to have their religion take over the world and either enslave non-believers or kill them.

What to do. We'll see if this latest unrest in Egypt leads to a real semi-democratic government or just more of the same. Most likely more of the same. (Or Morsi of the same). There are some experiments going on (Iraq, Egypt) that might foretell the future of these peoples and if they'll be able to adapt to modernity and throw off their barbarity. If they can't, at some point the civilized countries of the world might have to think of a way to permanently segregate these people from the rest of the world.

I laughed when I heard the term “arab spring”. I knew what would happen. I laughed at the useful idiots who went around saying “democracy in the middle east”.

You can teach bearded savages to say “democracy” but you can’t teach them what it means.

[Jack Hammer]

According to Obama’s convoluted reasoning, if the Arab Spring, so called, leads to freedom and democracy in the Arab world any time within the next thousand years, it’ll all be worthwhie.

In the interim, people are dying, chaos is rising, Israel is threatened as never before in her entire history, America looks weak, and the president has stirred up a hornet’s nest which will likely sting us in a nasty fashion.

And for the Arabs, the whole thing has done nothing good at all but, rather, substitute strong leaders with radical idiots and maniacs who will no doubt screw up their countries even worse than before.

Obama’s notion of a “foreign policy.”

If one believes that the history of thirty years ago cannot motivate Egyptians today, he or she would be very wrong. Incredibly, until today, many Egyptians and Arabs “on the street” will tell you a bitter story of wrongdoing by the Crusaders who came in the late 11th and early 12th centuries. Christianity and the West are blamed and condemned for those events of one thousand years ago. The reader should understand that the “Arab street” really knows what it means to hold a grudge.

Not this propaganda again. The average Arab on the street didn't even know about the crusades until the left taught it to them in our universities.

The very use of the phrase “Arab Spring,” concocted by the lamers in our lamestream media, was and still is an offense to the freedom-loving heroes of Prague, c 1968, who put it ALL on the line with just about zero help from Washington and the West.

The first time I heard “Arab Spring” used I wanted to puke.
