Looking for a better tyrant
Reader comment on item: American Islamists Rally Behind MB Amid Egypt Protests

I find I must not "cheer on" the Egyptians protesting Morsi's regime and wanting him gone. Do they still want Islam? Do they still want Egypt to declare war on Israel? Or are they just, as they did, during the "Arab Spring," looking for a more tolerable tyrant? Because that's all Islam can offer anyone. In all the videos I've seen of Egyptians massing to protest Morsi, I saw very, very few women, and what few I noted were veiled. All the statements by CAIR representatives must be taken with a bottle of salt pills to ward off hubristic taqiyya. For example, how patronizing it was of CAIR's Dawud Walid to say, ""Democracy takes time to establish. It took USA almost 200 years to start getting it right. #Egypt." I'd smack him in the face for making such a remark, when it is CAIR's ambition to replace the Constitution with Sharia law. What did he mean by "getting it right"? Getting it the "right, Sharia way"? Of course that's what he meant.
