Obama to make new Muslim outreach, 'Bin Laden is over, go the way Egypt is going' ..there's just one SMALL PROBLEM

From the LEFT (Daily Beast)

President Obama is planning to renew Muslim outreach in the coming days, in order to appeal to the Muslim world after the death of Osama bin Laden. A senior U.S. official tells The Wall Street Journal that Obama will deli

ver the message as part of a wide-ranging speech as early as next week when he visits Europe. He will argue that the Muslim world is at a crossroads, with bin Laden representing the old way and the democratic uprisings in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere representing the future. The U.S. is having its diplomats sing a similar song on Arab television and radio. The Obama administration is undecided, however, on whether to lay out a concrete Israel-Palestine peace plan.

And the problem?

Well, the people WANT not the death that Bin Laden was promoting, but MORE of the fundamentalism which gave birth to it.

DUH

The Muslim Brotherhood and it’s think alikes find in Barack Obama the useful idiot that the Politburo found in J Carter.

Poll Finds Muslim Brotherhood with Over 70 Percent Favorability in Egypt

While it was suggested during February’s coverage of anti-government protests in Egypt that the radical Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement only had the support of a minority of Egyptians, a recent Pew Research Center poll finds that over 70 percent of the Egyptian public holds a favorable view of the Islamist organization. The same poll also notably finds that the more secular April 6 movement has a similar appeal.

The Haaretz Web site contains the AP article “Poll: More Than Half of Egyptians Want to Cancel Treaty with Israel,” which notes: “The conservative Islamist Muslim Brotherhood and the largely secular April 6 movement - two groups closely involved in the uprising, had the highest approval ratings in society, with over 70 percent seeing them in a very or somewhat favorable light.”

On the February 8 NBC Nightly News, correspondent Richard Engel had estimated the group’s appeal to be between 20 and 40 percent.

And, as the headline alludes to, 54 percent of poll respondents expressed the view that Egypt’s thirty-year treaty with Israel should be ended: “According to the poll results, only 36 percent of Egyptians are in favor of maintaining the treaty, compared with 54 percent who would like to see it scrapped.”

The article recounts: “The poll, based on interviews with 1,000 Egyptians around the country, was conducted between March 24 and April 7 as part of the Spring 2011 Pew Global Attitudes survey that was conducted in 22 countries.”

The article also notes that 45 percent of wealthy Egyptians and 40 percent of college-educated Egyptians supported pulling out of the treaty.

However I am sure a nice speech, and some fine sounding lamb like words about ‘democracy’ will make it all just fine.

The Persecution of Egypt’s Coptic Christians Continues

The Arab Spring has not been kind to Egypt’s Christian minority. Over the weekend, Muslims apparently incited by Islamist hardliners again terrorized Coptic Christians, in what is now a pattern of attacks against them and their churches. Possibly the Islamists are jockeying for political power in this transitional period, or even trying to immediately effect a religious cleansing similar to the one that has happened in Iraq.

Copts, numbering about 10 million, constitute the largest Christian group and the largest religious minority in the Middle East. Their size will likely prevent an escalating persecution of them from going unnoticed for long in the West.
