Egyptian Revolutionaries Ready to Move on to Liberating Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerusalem: How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World

This has to be the least shocking headline of the day.
(MEMRI)Following are excerpts from a public address by Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on June 10, 2011:
Jerusalem will not be liberated through conferences, accords, or agreements. Jerusalem will be liberated only through a sacred march by millions. Millions of young Arabs will set out from all Arab countries in order to liberate Jerusalem once again. This will happen in the near future, Allah willing, whether people like it or not.
Before the [Egyptian] revolution, we would say: “Never mind if we do not live to see victory and the liberation of Jerusalem. The important thing is that we lay another brick on that path. Our children, our grandchildren, or our great-grandchildren will liberate Jerusalem.”
After the Egyptian revolution, I do not say this anymore. Allah willing, we will be liberating Jerusalem ourselves, and we will pray in Jerusalem, Allah willing. We will be the ones to be martyred on the threshold of Jerusalem. We shall not wait for our children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren. Time is pressing. We will be liberating Jerusalem, Allah willing.

Muslim Brotherhood Seizes Control of Egyptian Revolution

 The Muslim Brotherhood: The Organization and Policies of a Global Islamist Movement (The Middle East in Focus)

Nobody saw this coming. (snark)
(NYT)- “There is evidence the Brotherhood struck some kind of a deal with the military early on,” said Elijah Zarwan, a senior analyst with the International Crisis Group. “It makes sense if you are the military — you want stability and people off the street. The Brotherhood is one address where you can go to get 100,000 people off the street.” . . .

“We are all worried,” said Amr Koura, 55, a television producer, reflecting the opinions of the secular minority. “The young people have no control of the revolution anymore. It was evident in the last few weeks when you saw a lot of bearded people taking charge. The youth are gone.”

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and President Obama Praise Egyptian Revolution

Ahmadinejad: The Secret History of Iran's Radical Leader

When the U.S. Government ends up on the same side of a Middle East political issue as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, something has gone horribly wrong.

Here is what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had to say.
Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday claimed the uprising in Egypt heralded a new Middle East without the "satanic" influence of the West and that will doom Israel...

"In spite of all the (West's) complicated and satanic designs ... a new Middle East is emerging without the Zionist regime and US interference, a place where the arrogant powers will have no place," he told a rally in Tehran's Azadi Square to make the anniversary of the Revolutio
Here is what President Obama had to say.
"The people of Egypt have spoken," President Barack Obama said at the White House. "Their voices have been heard, and Egypt will never be the same."

..."The wheel of history turned at a blinding pace" the past few weeks and disproved the notion that "justice is gained by violence," Obama concluded. "In Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence - not terrorism, not mindless killing ... that bent the arc of history toward justice once more."
Would you like to venture a guess who is correct in their analysis?
