Islamists are never better than dictators

Reader comment on item: "Better Elected Islamists than Dictators"

Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Oct 17, 2012 at 19:28

The fact that Obama did not step in to help Mubrak, who may have been corrupt but who was at least mildly cooperative with the west, will come to haunt us all when the Islamist governments continue to proliferate across the Muslim world and Africa. They have been greenlighted to surge into real power and we will have to pray that their disagreements and belief differences will be enough to keep them from forming a formidable force. If they succeed, we will have to start praying that they are more intent on attacking the Shia than the infidels.
