Muslim Brotherhood In The Lead As Egyptians Vote In Final Round Of Election

14. I understand the Turkish model, but those in the know say the possibility in Egypt is quite low.

“Perhaps the only example in the Islamic world that transitioned from a sultanese (oligarchic) government to one that approximated Western democracies is Turkey…(which) began with the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 and resulted in the formation of a new government and constitution in 1923.

Because the Young Turks had no such organization as the Muslim Brotherhood to challenge their efforts at westernization, they succeeded in transforming the fledgling Ottoman Empire into a democratic nation they called (today’s) Turkey.

Can a modern-day version of the Young Turks in Tunisia, Libya or Egypt elicit similar results? Of course, only time will tell—but the likelihood is quite low.” [/div class]

“The followers of this Islamist party whose role model is (Turkey’s) Erdogan are wolves in sheep’s clothing. It is impossible to separate Mosque from State in Muhammadan Islam. Sharia will always be imposed by the Mullahs. Sharia is the nemesis of all known human freedoms. [/div class]

“The election results in Tunisia shouldn’t be surprising. The so-called Arab Spring has, almost from the start, been a vehicle for the rise of the Islamists. The terrorist organizations Hamas in the Palestinian Authority and Hizballah in Lebanon were both elected by the people, which raises the question: Are we obligated to support Islamic Jihadists simply because they are elected?” [/div class]
