2. Isn't Muslim Democracy wonderful?
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (12.17.11)
So nice of Obama to throw Mubarak under the bus and usher it in.
3. Looks like they took lessons from the IDF
Sarah ,   Israel   (12.17.11)
Only the world doesn't care when it's Jews who are being beaten.
4. RE: Brutality
Jose ,   Tanzania   (12.17.11)
I saw it on TV and was suprised at how they beat up the protestors. I though Egypt's army was "people's army"? The current leadership should resign and people should go back to the streets. Maybe Mubarak was better?
5. Army can't allow anarchy Obama ignited
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (12.17.11)
Obama has a lot to answer for, forcing Mubarak in a hurry even where he offered to transition the country to a lesser degree of dictatorship, which maybe the only way to rule it. He is no less an irresponsible man than Goerge W for knocking off Saddam and the bloodshed.
6. Remind Me Again . . .
emanon ,   USA   (12.17.11)
What's the definition of a "moderate muslim"?
7. #1: He May Not be Doing Everything Correct
emanon ,   USA   (12.17.11)
If you are talking about the POTUS, he may not be doing everything correct, but he had nothing to do with this.
8. #7 emanon (noname, how original)
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.17.11)
Wrong!! Obama incited the revolution, he gave it his approval in advance, leading to the overthrow of Mubrak, who led a relatively stable pro-American administration Mubarak is out, Muslim Brotherhood is in, the Army still refuses to listen to the dictates of the people, refusing to relinquish the control it has had even since Farouk was kicked out 60 years ago As a result, the Army is killing its own people Yes, Obama is responsible, he struck the match that started the Revolution, then Libya followed & at present another Revolution is going onin Syria Obama, in effect, is a pyromaniac
9. the Killing fields of Egypt, Syria & all the rest
tiki ,   belgium   (12.17.11)
They are killing their own people like dogs infected with rabies. Where are the NGO's for humanity? Where are the special UN sessions against extreme violence? Where is Banki/Ashton/Blair & all the rest of the world's hypocrite leaders with their useless messages? Where are those huge European protests of the usefull idiots with the usual stupid slogans? Where are the opinionated artists & musicians with their 'Peace message? Where are the 'peacefull Arabs & Muslims of the world when their "brothers" are being killed every day like mad dogs? We all know the answer....nowhere to be seen or heard, for ISRAEL is not involved even if the protesters try.
10. Have you read the Talmud and the Bible?
Zack ,   California   (12.17.11)
sorry but how is that Sharia law? By the way have you ever read the Talmud or the old Testament??? But your ignorant comment makes it hard to think that you have read much about your own history
11. Delusion
zack ,   California   (12.17.11)
Obama didn't throw Mubarak under the bus. America and Israel were absolutely helpless watching their disgusting dictator friends kicked out like dogs... Keep living in your delusions, you deserve it...
12. Where is "thou shalt not kill" Sultan Erdogan??
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (12.17.11)
Bringng Israel to its knees???
13. A MUBARAK GOES ANOTHER MUBARAK COMES ! (End )
Mark ,   T.a.Israel   (12.17.11)
14. #8: Wrong! The Egyptian's Did It
emanon ,   USA   (12.17.11)
Just like in Gaza, the people voted in Hamas. Real bad move, but that's what happened. Also just like Gaza, the Egyptians were coerced into their decision by the same group of terrorists. Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Fatah and many other names are all ultimately the same group: a bunch of arabs out to terrorize the world into submission and the elimination of anyone that is not them. Don't lose sight over who the enemy really is.
15. US neocons
rb   (12.17.11)
almost all of whom are Jewish , wanted to bring democracy to the ME. They figured that a democratic regime in Iraq would create a domino effect leading to democracy everywhere else. So they made up an excuse to invade Iraq and everything else is history. Why do these neocons believe they have a right to interfer in other countries and invade whomever they please? It has brought untold sufferring to Muslims in the ME and to all peoples in the USA. Now they are making up excuses to invade Iran. Please educate yourselves about these evil people who have captured American foreign policy and use America to carry out their wicked schemes. They must be stopped.
16. did you mean the israamerican built army ???
(12.17.11)
17. Arab culture & politics in full swing
Cameron ,   USA   (12.18.11)
These moments have always been the norm in Muslim lands. Same as it ever was.
18. Neocons...schmeeocons,,,
Sean ,   london, uk   (12.18.11)
"US neocons... Please educate yourselves about these evil people who have captured American foreign policy and use America to carry out their wicked schemes. They must be stopped." Er... The neocon hating Democrats are in power and the right have ditched the neocons for the teabaggers and paleocons like Paul and Gingrich yet you still see the machinations of the Jews, er... sorry "Neocons" everywhere you silly little boy...
