Arab "Spring" and Iranian Love of America

Reader comment on item: Egypt's Palace Coup

Submitted by Dan Rusen (Canada), Jun 21, 2012 at 12:43

These comments and others show not only how weak is the reportage of events, but also the total misunderstanding of them by the media. In the case of Egypt the media still think that the Muslim Brotherhood will rule Egypt. Fat chance. In the case of Iran they think somehow the mullahs will simply disappear before the will of the people. Another fat chance.

The sad fact is that among free Arabs and Persians living in the West there are too few voices speaking up for personal freedom and condemning their folks back home in the desert. Even Israeli Arabs, living in the finest and freest state in the middle east are shockingly guilty of ignoring the truth of the Islamic dilemma, and the media hypocrisy which supports it.

If even the expat Islamics don't have the courage to identify the true enemy then what chance do they have who live under Islamic tyranny?
