the Arab Spring
#7
RE: the Arab Spring
Given how much Egypt relies on tourism, the Islamists may cripple the economy if they do, as some media claim, ban bikinis.

Libya will be ok. They have oil, elected in a liberal, so they should do ok. The Islamists did crap in their elections, which whilst surprising, was fantastic.


The Muslim Brotherhood are indeed parasites. They jumped on the uprisings and claimed them as Islamic uprisings when they were democratic uprisings.
