A very sad situation,to say the least.

Has Obama and his administration,academics,and the media lost sight of the reality in the middle East that is unfolding?The Muslim Brotherhood appears to be advancing to power in north Africa ,as well as the middle East,with the expressed wish to apply the Sharia and return to the utopian 8th century.This desire would be fine if it were not for the fact that this Brotherhood aim is to spread their fundamentalist version of Islam everywhere. We can now see more conflicts arising in parts of Africa where Islamists are displacing non muslim populations.Darfur is now a forgotten 'holocaust',while another is on the way,totally ignored by the West,as well as all those peace loving Arabs.Oamas reaction to all these events seems similar to the typical response of fellow muslims-you dont critisize fellow muslims,they can do no wrong! The only reason I include Obama as a muslim is the fact that according to Islamic law the child of a muslim father is considered to be a muslim
