Question:
If Egypt falls to the Islamic brotherhood?
2011-02-02 10:13:01 UTC
The Islamic brotherhood is an extreme fundamendalist dangerous Islamic organisation.

With all these protests do you think they could seize power?

If they did how will then things in the Middle East work out? WIll these people launch some kind of holy war on Israel and then suffer horrendous Israeli retaliation?

Also will they try to distrupt the Suez canal and then suffer more attacks from the US and UK?

What would happen if they did?

Will Israel have to contend with another front to the south in the Sinai?

The difference between a religious tyranny and a military dictatorship (like the one Egypt has now) wouldn't make much difference to those who seek freedom. To many impoverished societies in the middle east find themselves throwing rocks at army tanks for one reason or another. Its time for this to change.

Pray that doesn't take place, the persons of Egypt might go through even worse oppression. end and study this: Islamic radicals ousted Lebanon's government basically interior the previous few weeks, took over, i'm to undecided that the present difficulty in Egypt isn't a upstage by Islamic radicals to take over Egypt. Radical Islamic terrorists are able to something. at the same time as Lebanon grow to be being ousted the pinnacle of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah radical Islamic invited Iran's Mohammad Ahmadinejad to excursion Lebanon, not the President of Lebanon Hariri. Iran is backing all radical islamic terror, and Egypt isn't any exception.

Simply expand your perception of the entire Mediterranean basin. Tunisia just fell, Lebanon is about to concede to Hezbollah , there are "civil" disturbances and anti-Government demonstrations in Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Yemen and soon Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Gulf Emirates. This isn't localized, nor is all this without a central movement organization. These are NOT random actions. Within the year, Israel could once again be surrounded by hostile countries, supported by Iran. And what do you think could happen next?

I doubt they'll seize power, they are still a minority group in Egypt and would likely not be able to take power without defeating the military.



It would work out in the same way the rest things go in the ME, they'll hate the west, hate Israel but recognize they are powerless to actually harm the west and instead will just indirectly fund terrorist cells to blow themselves up in malls and use strong words.



If they tried to disrupt the Suez they can expect the US to do the typical war of attrition stuff and use predator drones to monitor the area and attack hostel individuals.



My theory.

If it falls to the Islamic Brotherhood, then we'll be dealing with more extremists instead of just the Palestinians and Iranians.

No war in the immediate future, but Israel's blockade of Gaza and Hamas would be over, and the peace process would be more complicated, not that it has been going anywhere anyway.

1- Mubarak is pro-American who govern Egypt since 1981 , and wanted to put his son as new president on the presidential election on September 2011

2- he make Egypt poor , stole Egypt fortune with his Family , friends ,his company , sell Gas to Israel , make other Arab countries hate egypt , and make Egypt is

Police country , where internal inelegance can arrest anyone and kill anyone and abuse anyone

3- Egypt is most threaten for Israel due to big population 90 millions and big army, and Egypt fortune of resources and smart labor force also Egypt

Defeated Israel 1973 completely, while Egypt and Israel have peace agreement but Israel fear from any other coming government that may do not respect

The peace agreement and give Israel the chance to keep killing innocent people in Palestine like usual, so America , Israel , U.K want Mubarak and do not

Care about democracy, human rights, just want to keep their advantages with Mubarak

4- Egyptians make civil revolution against Mubarak system; it started to collect people through face book, tweeter, etc , most of them is youth 15-30 years old

Who do not find job while they are well educated , abused by police , and want to build a new future of egypt

5- He stopped internet, mobile, satellite; arrest BBC, cnn, Aljazeera TV agents

6- He pushed 1 million dirt criminal police forces to stop the protests

7- the protests arrange the Friday of rage 28 of Jan , and show historical courage never seen in this century and defeated the police completely

8- Mubarak pushed the army, but the Egyptian army history is clean and did not ever fire a bullet on Egyptians protests

9- Mubarak take of the police from streets and open jails for criminals to make looting in the country so people fear and ask for the police help

10- The protests make groups like police to secure the country and arrange traffic and arrest criminals

11- Mubarak put a vice president and new government to make people calm

12- Protests refuse and they want the following:

1- Mubarak must go

2- Canceling the emergency law which gives permission to arrest anyone this law is 30 years implemented and give the dictators the chance to arrest anyone without courts

3- New constitution that secure freedom and democracy, human rights

4- Reelect a new parliament

13- The army leader said, we will not ever fire on people and the people is free to show their choice (the army leaders is natural now)

14- American hypocrite government started to comment at first with supporting Mubarak cause he is a friend of them and Israel but now they start to show some support to Egyptian protests , now after they sure that mobile cannot continue and protests is so strong after they become more than 8 millions , so America try to find a soulation

To be sure that the new president will not be anti-American/anti-west

15- America still supports him until now and gives him every facility to stop the revolution

16 – Mubarak and business men related to him hire criminals and secret police to make a massacred in liberation square and kill as much as protests as they can

And destroy Egyptian museum which hold 75% of human historical ancient antiques which value trillions of dollars

17- the revolution will success and America will lose their power step by step in Middle East because its hypo crate and foolish policy

18- Revolution started in Tunisia and then Egypt and will continue to all Arab countries and this make America and Israel fear, because they support all dictator systems in Arab countries

19- this revolution not for specific ideology (it's not like Iran revolution), protests is Muslims, Christians, liberals, communist , every methodology in Egypt



Revolution until Victory, Egypt is Uprising, Long Life Egypt , the oldest Civilization in history
