The Egyptian Military toppled the International Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda-installed government of Muhammad Morsi, who took over leadership of Egypt after Hosni Mubarek was overthrown. U. S. President Barack Hussein Obama then spoke publically on media broadcast worldwide, demanding that Morsi be restored to power. Of course, the Egyptian Military who deposed Morsi and took their government back, refused that demand and left President Barack Hussein Obama of the USA with egg all over his face. Now, as the Islamist terrorist “rebels” have lost the counterrevolution in Tunisia, Obama must really have his panties in a wad---to go with traces of egg left on his face---metaphorically-speaking, of course, mixed or otherwise. We need to keep in mind that Obama is a Sunni Muslim, sired by his Sunni Muslim father from Kenya., whose Mother and Father (Obamas grandparents) are also Sunni Muslims. So, it makes sense that Obama is supporting ISIS in the age-old Sunni-Shiite Islamic schism and battle for control of the Middle East and North Africa---a wide, regional battle---that seems to have no end in sight. “Arab Spring Down: Islamists Lose in Tunisia” (FrontPage Magazine) Around this time two years ago I predicted counterrevolutions against Islamist rule in Egypt and Tunisia. The Muslim Brotherhood fell hard and fast in Egypt. In Tunisia it’s been more of a slow drawn out fight.But now the Arab Spring wellspring has fallen. A few days ago the New York Times was predicting that the Islamist Ennahda party would rebound and portraying them as the victims. So much for that. Tunisia’s main secular opposition party is claiming victory in the country’s historic election for a new 217-member parliament. The Nidaa Tounes party says a preliminary ballot count shows it has won close to 80 seats, more than any other party. The ruling Ennahda party conceded defeat on Monday, saying it will accept the result. Former Primer Minister Ali Larayedh urged party followers to look toward the next elections. Ennahda isn’t as done as the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, it could still climb back, but this is a severe blow to the political Islamists and their Western backers who hoped to propel them to power through elections. Not long ago Tunisia was still being cited as a success story. Now the Islamists have lost there too. Nidaa Tounes is not just any party, it combines members of the old overthrown pre-Arab Spring regime with assorted leftists and unions, the latter’s protests had effectively crippled Islamist rule earlier. This is a comeback for the establishment and a win for a more secular society. frontpagemag/2014/dgreenfield/arab-spring-down-islamists-lose-in-tunisia/
