Turkey is looking shakier all the time. After Syria......
50 years ago, Baghdad was a vacation destination. Not everything stays the same, Jet, and the Middle East is changing almost by the day, and not in a terribly good way.
It is one of the oldest and and largest Islamist movements, maybe not 100's of year got a bit carried away there, but it's been around since 1928.
I doubt it.. Israel just isn't that important.
If Israel wasn't that important, all the surrounding countries would not desire her total destruction. Obviously, something about Israel is important.

Except the notion that all surrounding countries desire Israel's total destruction is an oft repeated lie... and serves an obvious political purpose.

Oh, those nefarious and sneaky Jews! Is there no end to their shenanigans? Tricking Arabs to attack them is surely one of their most dastardly deeds ever!
Actually it is anything but a lie. Half those governments only stay in power because they use the Israeli boogeyman to whip their ignorant populations into a frenzy every so often. And let's face it, these folks are ignorant.

49 years ago, Baghdad was in the middle of a CIA-assisted bloody coup (the Ramadan Revolution) which installed the Ba'ath Party (Saddam Hussein's alma mater, altho he did not rise to a position of power until another coup 5 years later (the 17 July Revolution (1968)), then to the presidency some 11 years after that.)Turkey is looking shakier all the time.

Ikhwanweb :: The Muslim Brotherhood Official English Website
:lamo
Remember fear is your only god
What are you talking about? Who has attacked Israel?
Well of course, they have the word Muslim in their name so they must be devils. :lol:
The truth is that the MB is rather moderate by Middle East standards. The real risk is that they will have to partner with actual militant Muslim groups in order to form a government.
You would be amazed at how little the Arabs think about Israel unless there is an attack on Lebanon or some new abuse of the Palestinians.
Who is ignorant???
I am half Egyptian and I visited Cairo a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to have a great insight in the way the people there think, and especially what's going on there... My dad voted for the Liberty Party, and so did many people in his neighbourhood. The truth is, the Muslim Brotherhood has most support in the countryside, where the people aren't as educated, and think of elections as an opportunity to get payed to vote for a certain party. The second Mubarak left, the MB went to these "poor" farmers and started advertising their party as being the right way forward for Egypt. As the MB is the only party that has been around for hundreds of years and has a lot of charity work, the people are already accustomed to them. This results in people voting for what they know... You can't expect people to vote for something that's only been around for a few months. As i was driving through Cairo's chaotic traffic, i saw a modern-looking shop with a great lot of people inside. I asked the driver what it was, and he said it was a new shop the MB had established that sells items extra-cheap, bought of local Egyptian producers. This is the reason why the MB is so successful, it responds to the basic needs of the people which is cheap clothing items etc. In my opinion, it will take approximately 8 years until the entire country is educated on democracy, and true democratic votes can be held.
The Liberty Party my dad voted for, obtained approximately 8.9%. This in my opinion, is good, as now nothing can be kept secrete from the public or at least nothing that happens in parliament.
Just out of curiousity, what does being 'moderate by Middle East standards' actually mean? That they'd rather bleed Israel to death with terrorist attacks and rocket launches than actually engage in all out war?
The Arab Street is incredibly ignorant. That isn't even debatable.
Oh yes, they are so moderate....They only want caliphate....
Muslim Brotherhood text reveals scope of r... JPost - Middle East

There will never be another Caliphate unless it is an honorarium.. The Arab states each have their own interests.. Its not a problem that you should worry about.
And your background to make such a statement is?
