Muslim Brotherhood and Pure Islamic Parties Winning Big in Egypt

There can be no doubt: the most enduring legacy of the Obama reign (outside of bankrupting America) will be his assistance and sanction of the mass changeover of secular regimes across the world to Islamic supremacist sharia states. Think Iran times ten or even twenty. The sum will be deadlier than the parts.

Islamist parties on course to dominate Egypt's parliament Daily Mail

Islamist parties are on course to dominate Egypt's first post-revolution parliament after taking most votes in early results from the first round of elections.

Both the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which is backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, and its rivals agreed that it was leading the count in the first tranche of nine out of Egypt's 27 governorates, including its two most important cities, Cairo and Alexandria.

More unexpected was the apparent success of the FJP's radical rival, Nour, which represents a movement of Salafis inspired by the puritanical political Islam of Saudi Arabia.

Its lack of previous involvement in political campaigning had been viewed as a handicap. But it may have won as much as ten per cent of the vote, according to some estimates, challenging the main liberal coalition for second place.

The result suggests the various Islamist parties could form an overall majority in the parliament.

But there has been no doubting the triumphant mood of the Muslim Brotherhood's senior figures this week, as they celebrate a moment of electoral victory after 80 years of almost constant repression.

Its rigidly managed and hierarchical structure, which has contributed to apprehension among Arab governments and secular groups, has made it a formidable foe.

It has also made many feel it is more likely to be able to rule competently than its idealistic but often divided and chaotic liberal rivals.

"I believe they will be very organised," said Marwan Hamdy, 28, a businessman who cast two of his three ballots for the party.

There's more.

Ah just a few months ago the totally blind liberal press and the U.S.State Department were salivating over the "Egyptian Spring."

The "Egyptian Spring" was always going to be a "Springboard to the Islamic Caliphate" and 12 months from now we will see the new Middle East emerge with the blessing of Imam Obama.

I wonder if the military gives up voluntarily or tries to maintain some power. I can guarantee a lot of the upper class people are pretty scared to death now. The Islamists didn't do much in the wealthy areas but are cleaning up in the slums. If the Islamists are anywhere near 50% after the 1st round, they will get the majority because all of the liberal and wealthy areas have voted already and most of the Brotherhood areas haven't voted yet.

Well, the anointed one has accomplished one of the goals he set himself before getting into office with the help of his sowdi friends. Now he just has to allow more sleeper cells into America and into the government to finish the job on America.

What would you expect in a country where FGM (female genital mutilation) is performed on 97% of the women? See the chart at

Daveposh:

FGM is not Islamic.

THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF EGYPT

Isn't it remarkable and tragically ironic that Hosni Mubarak, born less than two months from the birth of the Moslem Brotherhood in 1928, predicted that it was either he or the Brotherhood? Meaning that the only alternative to his regime (continuing with his son) was an Islamic Republic on the Nile fascistically ruled by the Brethern. And here we are drawing closer and closer with each counted vote to that nightmare.

@ 'George' FGM may not be islamic per se BUT there are huge numbers of muslims who carry out FGM because of their culture and "religion".

' In Egypt, at least 90 percent of women are believed to have undergone FGM. In 2005, a report by UNICEF had claimed that 97 percent of Egyptian women aged 15-49 had undergone the operation. Here, the issue has been a source of controversy. A CNN broadcast from 1994, in which a 10-year-old girl in Egypt was shown being "operated upon" by an unskilled practitioner, caused a hostile reaction. Egypt sued CNN for $500 million for damaging its reputation, but the case was thrown out by courts."
'In Yemen, a 1999 study found that in the coastal region, 69 percent of women had undergone some form of FGM. "
"FGM occurs in south Jordan and Iraq. In the rural area of Germian, in Kurdish Iraq, a study found that more than 60  percent of women had undergone FGM. "

"There are indications that FGM might be a phenomenon of epidemic proportions in the Arab Middle East. Hosken, for instance, notes that traditionally all women in the Persian Gulf region were mutilated.[42] Arab governments refuse to address the problem. They prefer to believe that lack of statistics will enable international organizations to conclude that the problem does not exist in their jurisdictions."

""According to the United Nations, it is estimated tht over 130 million women have had some form of FGM performed on them. This practice is often associated with the religion of Islam, and is most often perfomed in Middle Eastern and North African countries."

I don't mean to come across as condescending, however, if the Egyptian people, in free and fair elections, choose to vote for a particular party who are we to question their choice?

We can't have it both ways. On one hand we support democracy and freedom of speech, and then, on the other, we complain when we see the results of our support. Don't any of you think that it is hypocritical to espouse the spread of democracy and then complain when the choices of a people do not coincide with the foreign policy goals of our country?

Jon Stuart had a disgustingly islamophilic piece on the islamofascist elections in Egyptistan. Of course, he never mentioned the Muslim Brotherhood at all. It's strange he never has anything to say about the rabid Jew hatred the islamonazis in Egyptistan have a fondness of exhibiting, en mass, in public.

"Think Iran times ten or even twenty," writes Pam of Obama's deadly radicalization of the Middle East. And when did it begin? With the forced resignation of Mubarak on February 11, 2011, the 32nd anniversary of the Iranian Revolution.

We wanted democracy in the ME and this is what we get. Why bitch? People get the government they deserve. The people in the ME want, and deserve, to live under Mudslime rule. Nuff said.

[KKKK]

"Obama's main legacy (apart from bankrupting AMerica) willl be the fall of secular dictatoral regimes in the ME and replacement with theocratic terrorist regimes-at his support!" you could not have worded it better, Geller. a hero like you defiently is desrving of praise.

@Kevin Stroup

Then stop giving my tax dollars to support the islamonazi apes in Egyptistan.

[fern]

When the MBH have installed themselves in all of the so-called 'arab spring' countries, next stop will be getting their filthy evil hands on Pakistan's nuclear weapons.

Thanks must go to Obama and his minions, NATO, and our dhimmified and corrupt politicians in Europe.

So much to look forward to, not.
