The American Thinker article cited below is a keenly well aware and insightful dot connection. The basic question throughout the article is: “was President Obama the origin of the Arab Spring”?
Those of you who have followed our mid-east research know full well we believe the answer is a resounding yes.
However, it has only been in the past fourteen months we have been able to understand the entire scope, the larger and specific intent, of the non-spoken agenda which began unfolding immediately after the 2009 Obama Cairo speech.
Most Refuge Readers can review the summary discussion and see a the larger encapsulated insight. And, as you know, we make no apologies for our support of Egypt’s Fatah el-Sisi who is indeed a secular leader within a modern Islamic nation.

What sets el-Sisi apart from the other mid-east leaders is his core principle, backed up by his actions – not words, that affirm the freedom rights of minority citizens being protected.
Simultaneously, he’s not blind to the radicalization that can exist within contingencies of minority beliefs who use democrat principles of minority protections to advance religious hatred.
That keen insight and solid understanding is what empowers el-Sisi’s brilliant yet precarious needle threading.
In essence Prime Minister David Cameron of the U.K. has recently become awakened to this very principle.
Islamists will use minority protections as hosts – just like cancer cells use healthy organs to grown to their destructive size. Once cancer cells reach a point of critical mass, they no longer need to hide within healthy organisms; they expand exponentially. The end result is a dying organ as the cancer metastasizes throughout the host. This is the same process radical islamists use to hide within a host society while slowly deconstructing the elements which make the society viable in the first place.
It takes a surgeons skilled hand to remove the cancerous tumor, achieve clear margins, and leave the healthy organ in a position of continuing to function and regain strength.
The similar skill, albeit political, is needed by national leaders who fully understand the intent of the islamists cells embedded within the social fabric, and can articulate the issue to the host society before critical mass is reached.

(Via American Thinker) The “Arab Spring” changed seasons with Benghazi. In the eyes of many Americans, the media-hyped chimera of democratic forces seeking freedom from dictatorships vanished with the reported sodomy and murder of our ambassador to Libya.
The reality is, the impetus behind the Arab Spring was never really a desire for self-rule as we understand it, but rather a desire for Islamic rule. Each country that fell to that faux-organic sweep of protest shared a trait in common: aside from being brutal dictatorships, they were also secular governments.
This essential point is missed by our major media, who, due to an irrepressible confirmation bias, assume that the only reason to upending a government is to throw off oppression. Their failure to factor the all-encompassing influence of Islam leads inexorably to an inability to comprehend the willingness among many in the Middle East to replace repressive secular regimes with far more repressive Islamist regimes. Surprising as it appears to the Western mind, this frying pan-to-fire behavior is de rigueur in societies that credit the legitimacy of their governments to the seal of approval of their god.
Apprehension of these truths require the West to confront the elephant in the room – the one that political correctness forbids us to address – that being Islam, and its ideology of supremacy.
Terrorism is a tool, not an ideology. “Terrorist” is a functional description of someone who employs this tool in furtherance of their agenda.
The failure in the West to name that agenda is at the root of our failure to defeat it. In the Middle East, that agenda is the re-birth of an Islamic caliphate. In the West, it is a relentless Islamist agenda to mainstream Islamic doctrine in the mind of the average citizen, incrementally positioning Islam as an irreproachable inevitability, declaring any opposition as Islamophobic and anti-religion.
