RUTHFULLY YOURS

Two years after the Arab Spring erupted violently in Tunisia and Egypt, both countries’ economy is much worse off than it was before. The saplings of hope for liberalization and reform have been violently wrenched.

In Tunisia, secular opposition parties complain that instead of the promised economic reforms, the ruling Islamist Ennahadha party is “bent on setting up a theocracy.” As a result, Tunisia now faces an 18 percent national unemployment rate and has been downgraded by Fitch due to “slow transition to a free economy” and unsustainable twin deficits. In addition, Standard & Poor’s has downgraded the country to “junk.” As if growing economic hardship was not enough, “Courts [are] accused of targeting opponents of the dominant political party, Ennahadha,” reports al Jazeera. According to Amnesty International free speech has been curtailed and critics of the regime are facing “public morals” violation charges. And if you expect the new Tunisian Constitution to better protect human rights, don’t hold your breath. Human Rights Watch protested last week that the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) second draft, “threaten human rights.”

Reviewing Egypt’s situation, the Jordanian news website, Albawaba.com, had this to say: “The economic woes of Mubarak’s crony state have not dissipated, and the calls for “bread, freedom, and social justice” that defined the desires of the Tahrir youth of 2011 have resurfaced. Perhaps they never went away. The Muslim Brotherhood’s attempts to pacify the poor with charity may come across as cynical in the current climate of unrest.”

Egypt’s, Muslim Brother President Mohammed Morsi, is busy fulfilling his promise for “Islamic democracy.” Not surprisingly, it turned out to be an Islamic theocracy. But neither that nor his anti-American and anti-Semitic rant, or the ongoing riots seem to deter the Obama administration from fulfilling its agreement for $1.3 billion in military aid and an annual $250 million in economic aid (signed with Morsi’s predecessor, Hosni Mubarak). And if Congress follows Senator John McCain’s lead, Egypt will soon receive close to $500 extra.

Saturday People, Sunday People is a unique portrait of Israel as seen through the eyes of a Christian who came for a visit and has stayed on for more than six years. Long fascinated by a land that has become an abstraction centering on international conflicts of epic proportions, Lela Gilbert arrived in Israel on a personal pilgrimage in August 2006—in the midst of a raging war. What she found was a vibrant country, enlivened by warm-hearted, lively people of great intelligence and decency.

Saturday People, Sunday People tells the story of the real Israel and of real Israelis—ordinary and extraordinary—and the energetic rhythm of their lives, even during times of tragedy and terror. The book interweaves a memoir of Gilbert’s experiences with Israel’s people and places, alongside a rich account of past and present events that continue to shape the lives of Israelis and the world beyond their borders.

As she watched events unfold in the Middle East, Gilbert witnessed how the simplest facts turned into lies, from denial of the existence of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem to the characterization of Israel’s defensive border fence as “Apartheid.” Then Gilbert learned of a story that had all but vanished into history: the persecution and pogroms that drove more than 850,000 Jews from Muslim lands between 1948 and 1970—the “Forgotten Refugees.” Their experience is now repeating itself among Christian communities in those same Muslim countries. This cruel pattern embodies the Islamist slogan calling for the elimination of “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”

Denis McDonough’s appointment as Chief of Staff is probably the biggest win for the Soros Lobby since the Obama victory. Denis McDonough was a Senior Fellow at the George Soros funded Center for American Progress, which is the criminal brain behind the Frankenbody of Obama Inc. Delivering a speech after the Benghazi terrorist attack, McDonough profaned the very concept of religious freedom, at a conference on US policy and international religious freedom, where he eulogized the dead and blasted the Mohammed video, a worldview that eventually led Obama Inc. to see to the imprisonment of the filmmaker.

A top White House official has blasted as “truly abhorrent” the anti-Islam film which appears to have triggered an outpouring of violence against U.S. diplomatic posts in Egypt and Libya.

Speaking to an international religious freedom conference in Washington Wednesday, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough endorsed efforts to create “a world where the dignity of all people—and all faiths—is respected.”

According to his prepared remarks released by the White House, he then added: “This work takes on added urgency given the truly abhorrent video that has offended so many people–Muslims, and non-Muslims alike—in our country and around the world.”

McDonough also praised Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood thug Mohammed Morsi in this same speech.

Denis McDonough also appeared at the ADAMS Islamist center which is linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood to promote Obama’s outsourcing of “violent extremism prevention” to mosques.

ADAMS (All Dulles Area Muslim Society) is led by its Executive Director, Mohammad Majid. Majid is also the President of the largest Muslim Brotherhood / Hamas support entity in North America – the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

At ADAMS, Denis McDonough delivered a speech dedicated to whitewashing Islam and promoting Obama’s appeasement of Islamism.

For example, we know there are many different reasons why individuals—from many different faiths—succumb to terrorist ideologies. And there is no one easy profile of a terrorist. But based on extensive investigations, research and profiles of the violent extremists we’ve captured or arrested, and who falsely claim to be fighting in the name of Islam, we know that they all share one thing—they all believe that the United States is somehow at war with Islam, and that this justifies violence against Americans.

So we are actively and aggressively undermining that ideology. We’re exposing the lie that America and Islam are somehow in conflict. That is why President Obama has stated time and again that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam.

Islam can be at war with the United States, but as long as Obama Inc. is in charge of America, we’ll continue living in denial.

We undermine al Qaeda’s ideology by showing that it is the power of nonviolence and democratic change that leads to progress, not senseless terrorism. And now people across the Arab world are proving the point.

Consider this. Al Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman Zawahiri, an Egyptian, has spent decades trying to overthrow the government of Egypt through terrorism. But in just a few short weeks, it was the people of Egypt—men and women, young and old, secular and religious, Muslims and Christians—who came together and changed their government, peacefully. It is the most dramatic change in the Arab world in decades, and al Qaeda had nothing to do with it.

Al Qaeda couldn’t overthrow Egypt’s government, but Obama could. And once Obama did that, the Muslim Brotherhood took over and Salafis launched attacks on the US Embassy in Cairo with the approval of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Al Qaeda is alive. American national interests are dead.
