Hamas Imposing Sharia on Gaza; US Silent
Radical Islam in action in Gazastan.
If not for the Bush administration's idiotic "democracy promotion," Hamas would not have come to power in Gaza. The administration stupidly insisted on so-called elections in the hellhole, knowing full well what the outcome would be--Islamist rule.
China Accuses Uighurs of Linking With Syrian Islamist Rebels
A significant development.
China says Muslim separatists are linking up with and fighting alongside Syrian Islamists.
China, like Russia, backs the Syrian regime. More important, both China and Russia accuse the United States of seeking to use Islamism, organized Islam and Islamic/Islamist separatist movements in order to contain--and crack apart--China and Russia. The Tibet strategy applied to restive Muslim areas in China and Russia.
Every day--some days, it feels like every hour--seems to bring the great powers closer to a new Cold War. Connect the dots … from Clinton to Bush to Obama. The United States foolishly persists in trying to ride the Islamist tiger without being eaten; at the very least, Washington appears to go out of its way to reinforce the worst fears and suspicions of the leaders of post-Soviet/post-Communist Russia and Communist-in-name-only China that nothing of substance has changed over the last two decades.

Obama's utterly failed foreign policy is exploding in Washington's face on the streets of Egyptian cities.

It boggles the mind--but where is the outrage?--that nearly 12 years after 9/11, the foreign policy of the United States is to back the Muslim Brotherhood and its allies, including groups that support or sympathize with Al Qaeda. Under political cover provided by drone attacks on certain Al Qaeda leaders and the killing of Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden, the Obama administration has become an actual ally as well as an engager of Sunni Islamism.
A Specter is Haunting Egypt
A specter is haunting Egypt: the specter of Nasserism. All the powers of the West and the old Middle East have entered into an alliance to exorcise this specter: clerics and kings, Muslim Brothers and al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, Al Qaeda killers and secret police spies.
But the specter refuses to be driven out of his homeland. Instead, he seems to be getting stronger. Foreign experts are confused.
Prediction: there will be a great deal of blood in Egypt--fighting in the streets and police violence--and Washington will be blamed. Increasingly, Egyptians with whom the United States should in principle be aligned--secular and truly moderately observant Muslims, Christians and other minorities--will blame the U.S. for cynically and stupidly siding with the clerical fascists (Islamists) seeking to enslave people in the name of religion.
Decades of covert and, more recently, overt support for Islamism will backfire, yet again. Nasser's ghost will smile as Arab nationalism makes a comeback. Vilification of Washington--by all sides--will reach new levels.
Hatred of Israel will also intensify. Instead of sympathizing with the Jewish State's predicament, the nationalists will accuse it of contributing to the region's destabilization and of secretly aiding the Sunni Islamists in order to serve "U.S. imperialism" and in order to counter Shiite Islamist Iran and Hezbollah. Bizarre alliances of convenience--even by Middle Eastern standards--could ensue. Secular Arab nationalists and Shiite Arab and Iranian Islamists vs. Sunni Arab and Turkish Islamists--why not? The Western/Saudi-orchestrated civil war in Syria--Egypt's old United Arab Republic partner--sets the stage for such strategies and arrangements.
Who knows how the tragic play will end? At the rate things are going, the UAR could be revived just in time for a full-blown, new Cold War, complete with Russian arms flowing to a new, Nasserist regime in Cairo.
A date to watch: July 26, anniversary of Nasser's announcement of the nationalization of the Suez Canal Company in 1956.
VINTAGE VIDEO ENDNOTE: Click below to watch a fascinating piece of archival video--Egypt's late, charismatic president, Gamal Abdel Nasser commenting on the Muslim Brotherhood, which tried to assassinate him. The failed attempt resulted in a huge crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood, a defeat from which it did not really recover until Obama's "outreach" to Islamic clerical fascism emboldened the organization to seize power. In his speech to supporters, Nasser seems more modern than Obama on the issue of backward Muslim headscarves; certainly, Nasser was a modernizer compared with, say, Turkey's wannabe new sultan, the Islamist prime minister Recep Erdogan, whom Obama hails as a "friend" and "partner" or the leaders of Syria's so-called rebels.

EGYPT UPDATE: MILLIONS MARCH
MASSIVE MANIFESTATIONS AGAINST MORSI
The clerical fascist (Islamist) regime is on the defensive.
Will the outpouring of protest persuade the Obama administration to abandon its pro-Islamist foreign policy?
Probably not, unfortunately. The administration that installed an Islamist regime in Libya, aided the Islamist takeover of Egypt, ignored the anti-Islamist demonstrations in Turkey, and is indirectly arming Al Qaeda-connected cannibals, car bombers and beheading monsters in Syria seems bent on collaborating closely with rightwing political Islam and overlapping Islamic extremism and fundamentalism.
