where do you think the Arab world will be headed at the conclusion of the Arab Spring?
I think it would go through a phase similar to the age of enlightenment the west went through, although very late to the party. However, they can't do that when the radical Islamists have the loudest voice in the region, not to mention the fact that they have a lot of power.
Egypt needs to get rid of the brotherhood, they actually want to erase every erotic scene from Egypt's film library (& kissing to them is erotic), impose Sharia law, & Islamize the region.
in Bahrain, the brotherhood also have a political party, they are pro-government however, they mostly preach about how Shiite's should be sent to Iran, ban alcohol, & new laws preventing women from running for elections or voting, thankfully they don't have a big following here in Bahrain, & the opposition has the two biggest parties in the country, one of them is Shiite & the other one is a leftist liberal party (with a big closeted atheists following).
Syria also has the Muslim brotherhood "waiting in the wings" according to a lot of articles, they're closely tied to the Egyptian party, I don't know whether they have a big influence in Syria or not, but I really hope they don't.
in Libya, I like the fact that the brotherhood aren't gaining much traction, & of course, what do they do? they accuse the democratic party of manipulation.
I don't know about Yemen, their biggest political party is a member of the Muslim brotherhood, but they haven't been very vocal.
I haven't heard about them a lot in Tunisia, but other Islamist parties could take over of course.
its quite simple, the Muslim brotherhood is bad news, they're parasites, they're everywhere, & they have power, squashing them would be the only way to leave the dark ages. hopefully, in a couple of decades most countries in the ME would be secular, then they can focus their resources on developing the country instead of religious police & all that non sense.
I will post updates on the situation in Bahrain in this thread also, feel free to contribute with articles, videos, or news related to the Arab Spring.
