1. So Mosab Hassan Yousef explains it all quite well
Ypip ,   Canada   (11.18.11)
Read his autobiography.
2. MAJOR DIFFERENCES TWIXT ARAB SPRING PRESS PROPAGANDA
stude ham   (11.18.11)
and reality. did these arab mobs really think better government was possible for them? wake up ...
3. Egyptian uprising Part 2
Maurice ,   Montreal   (11.18.11)
Coming up and soon. But this time it could get much bloodier...
4. We had better hope that the army continues to rule!
Michael Redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (11.18.11)
Egypt's last three rulers were Mubarak, Arab nationalist Gamal Abdel Nasser and Nobel Peace Prize winner Anwar Sadat, and they were all army, and the NEW government will hopefully and most likely be army too. Islam and democracy are totally incompatible http://tinyurl.com/7tsa3jx so if army loses control then the Brotherhood will try to take over and Egypt will likely descend into civil war like Syria.
5. #1 Mosab Hassan Yousef is a traitor.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.18.11)
don't you have a more respectful resource?
6. what a ruse
SECULAR ,   united States   (11.18.11)
If the egyptian people think that their freedoms were limited under Mubareck...Just wait until the koran and muslim brotherhood and other islamic fanatics get power and start telling YOU how to dress, and even how to THINK...You won't have any freedoms. You will be going from the frying pan to the fire.THINK SECULAR
7. What a Disgrace for the Arabs... !
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (11.18.11)
Everything is relative or everything is comparative ? For all the grievances I have for being under Israeli control I can not but tell the truth that my life in Jerusalem,as part of Israel, is extremely much better than what it would be in any arab society under any arab regime ! I lived in Jerusalem under Jordanian rule for 12 years until the fateful 1967 Six-Day War, and I surely would never want to be under Jordanian rule again, and not even under Palestinian Authority rule. The quality of life in Jerusalem under Israel is quite good . I like it ... !
8. arab spring muslum protesters have been scammed. The army is
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.18.11)
in power and is going to stay in power, they are not going to give up control to a bunch of koran fanatics. Hey, no banning of alcohol and cigarettes, no public beheadings, no chopping off of hands for them.
9. To#5 Actually, no one better than Mosab Hassan Yousef !
EST ,   Miami USA   (11.18.11)
He was raised in the environment with the planners and those who engendered the movement you are seeing in the region. So, he might be seen as a traitor by those who espouse violence in the name of Allah and theocracies, he might be seen as a hero by those of us who espouse democracy and fight for human rights. Either way, he is one of the best sources for information on this issue...no matter how you look at him.
10. IDIOTS vs IDIOTS...
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (11.18.11)
11. These guys are lethal demopaths
Logic ,   Israel   (11.18.11)
Google the term "demopath" for an in-depth explanation.
12. i feel.....
les ,   canada   (11.18.11)
totally ridiculous by saying: "i told you so". from the very begining of the "arab spring". anyone i spoke to about it, i called it an arab nightmare, and a western world disaster. and i wasn't called a nice guy for it either. but to me anybody who believes the arab/islam people will adopt REAL DEMOCRACY, in my mind are even more ridiculous than i am.
13. 7..Youre like young lady who said "Stopit.I like it"
Alan ,   SA   (11.18.11)
14. Surah 9:29 from the Quran
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, USA   (11.18.11)
Surah 9:29 from the Quran: Fight against the [Christians and Jews] until they pay the [special tax] readily, being brought low. So: no equal rights for non-Muslims
15. Truth will set us free! Hurrah #7
Froike ,   NY NY   (11.18.11)
Shawkran Ketir Habibi. Israeli Democracy may not be perfect for Arabs, but it beats the crap out of hooligans like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, I Jihad, etc. Thanks for your honesty!
16. Be very very careful
Carl ,   USA   (11.18.11)
Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood fully support "democracy" until they gain power. Then its back to the brutality of Islamic sharia law. How many other dictatorial repressive regimes have come to power through ostensibly democratic processes? Hitler and Hamas come to mind.
17. Idiots
Mazlum ,   Bashkhrdstan   (11.18.11)
What va bunch of idiots. You are on your way to destruction.
18. Secular ME, BIG ISRAEL, pronounceable "abjads", prosperity.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (11.18.11)
19. Here is that democracy you were
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (11.19.11)
talking about Mr. Obama. You will be praying in Cairo in no time, sir. Egypt civil war or should I say killing of the non muslims will come to theatres near you very soon.. God forbid!!! Thanks for that magnificient speech and walk on the water show!
20. Democracy ,Arab style,Hezbola or Hamas
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.19.11)
21. It's the Egyptian Spring, folks!!!!!
Mark ,   USA   (11.19.11)
Quran..quran....these are the fascists Obummer cozies up to. I wonder if the "Media" will report on their extracurricular activities, such as stoning, hanging, torturel, and of course, their great love for Jews and Christians?
22. #5 Salami, anybody other than you
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.19.11)
wold be considered respectful You're merely a shlemiel who never does anything other than rave like a madman
23. The country that has the quran as their constitution...
David ,   Hartford USA   (11.19.11)
will have neither life, nor liberty, nor the pursuit of happiness. Egypt is on the verge of falling into an abyss of Shari'a darkness. The true colors of The Brotherhood can now be seen. Egypt will look Iran in just a few more months. Too bad for all those Egyptians who were given a taste of freedom, only to have it stolen from them. And wasn't it an American diplomat (moron) that said the Brotherhood was mostly a secular bunch! Since Obama took office, isn't it simply astounding how many arab countries have gone from bad to worse?? All those 'springs' have turned into very dark winters.
24. Religion
Sagi   (11.19.11)
turns humans into imbeciles and eventually into robots. Nothing proves this more than the wish to adhere to the writings and rantings of "holy books", written thousands of years ago for the purpose of manipulation and control, rather than to adopt the laws and regulations of a democratic and free thinking society. Religion is Man at his worst and basist, almost primeval, nae not almost, exactly.
25. No Surprise
emanon ,   USA   (11.19.11)
26. egypt
joel ,   usa   (11.19.11)
now is the time for the military to use their force against these rebels,ok? or they will be gone like in Iran run by bigots religious leaders, ha, ha, ha!
27. The Quran is our constitutionj
Chris ,   Norman, Oklahoma, US   (11.19.11)
They have the right to demand that the Quran be their constitution. The Jews say they want the Torah as their constitution, and Christians want the Gospel to be paramount. In my opinion the Quran is more logical than all other religious scriptures.
28. Mosaab H. Yosuf is a traitor
Khalid Yosef ,   Ramallah   (11.19.11)
Mosab Hasan Yosuf is a paid mercenary tasked with maligning Islam. He has no credibility whatsover.
29. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel & proud of it   (11.19.11)
Good that you realize & appreciate the difference.
30. Mosab Hassan Yousef thinks
Harpatkaot Tintin ,   Kiruna   (11.19.11)
Mosab Hassan Yousef thinks more about your people than you do...it seems...shame on you! There is no arab democracy in the world because you do not listen to the democratic voices among your people! Shame on you, Ship to Gaza movement, Fatah, Hamas, Arab hate...long live Israel! Israel Europes hope!
