Call adds to concerns among liberals that the country is going Islamic after attacks on Muslim mystic tombs, Christians.

Officials of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s leading Islamic group, have called for the establishment of a Saudi-style modesty police to combat “immoral” behavior in public areas in what observers say in another sign  of a growing Islamic self-confidence in the post-Mubarak era.

In the political sphere, the Brotherhood led a successful drive to get voters to approve a package of constitutional amendments. On the street level, at least 20 attacks were perpetrated against the tombs of Muslim mystics (suffis), who are the subject of popular veneration but disparaged by Islamic fundamentalists, or salafis. After some initial hesitation, Islamic leaders have publicly praised the revolution.

“This is incredibly worrying to many Egyptians,” Maye Kassem, a political scientist at the American University in Cairo (AUC), told The Media Line. “The salafis were always undercover in Egypt and now they are emerging as a political force. They are getting too vocal.”

Nagib Gibrail, a Coptic attorney and head of the Egyptian Union of Human Rights, said the Egyptian revolution had been kidnapped by Islamist radicals.

“There are areas in Egypt where Christian girls can’t walk outside after eight o’clock in the evening for fear of being kidnapped,” Gibrail told The Media Line. “Moderate Muslims should be more scared than Christians. It is very worrying that the military regime hasn’t issued a statement declaring Egypt a secular state.”

 

So much about western excitement with Egyptian “revolution” and post Mubarak Egypt going in right direction and democracy.   There were no any revolution and it is not kidnapped by anybody. From the very beginning it was going that way but they /Islamist/ were smarter  and better organized than before.

What consequences it has for us on Balkans? Did they learned lessons from our Bosnian and Kosovo Muslims in behavior and marketing. Obviously yes and from some others, I would say, who helped and taught Bosnian Muslims in their tricks making.   What goes around comes around

We Christians and others Kaffir on the Middle East and West and in the middle of the Earth should be aware of it.

Watch out what is happening on the Balkans. They are learning from here. Don’t dare to hope that there will be some conflict between Shia and Sunni, Salafis and  Suffis and specially not here on the Balkans. Mourning  a  death of Albanian Suffi leader Haji Dede Reshat Bardhi is passing event. They will be united against Christian majority.  For their differences to come on daylight they need to be alone and then it will be to late for us.
