Is this the Rise of Islamic Rule in Egypt?

While it is true that Egypt is a moderate and peaceful semi-Democratic state in a region so crucial to world peace, about 90% of Egyptians are Muslims. And its history is filled with anti-Western/Israel assassination and there is an apparent vulnerability in that country. But the US government in my view is not is not taking the right road that may lead into a catastrophic miscalculation of the whole issue.

The US government is speaking as if it is in favor of a change in regime, but the question remains "who is there to lead Egypt" but Islamic radicals? There is no secret that radical Islamic terrorist organizations are behind the move to oust Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak. They think he is too corrupt and to dictatorial in his leadership, but I think they want to rid of him because he is a pro-Western Egyptian leader. There is not doubt about this!

It is also important to note that Islamic extremists and their sponsors are throwing a long rope around Israel in an attempt to choke Israel to death in the next ensuing years. We may even see a repetition of the wars waged against Israel in the past six decades.

Just recently, Hezbollah withdrew its support for the Lebanese government after the government calls for an investigation to the assassination of Lebanese leader Rafic Hariri, which everyone knows was Syrian/Iranian planned and supported assassination.

Protests are expected almost everywhere in the ME including Israeli neighbor and one that recognized the state of Israel, Jordan. This is protest has a potential to become a world wide issue.

It is important to note the different reactions of this US administration toward Iran and Egypt. There was no urgent meeting, nor was there criticism and forceful rhetoric against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad like what the Obama administration is doing to the Egyptian government today. But to topple this government in a hope of reforming Egypt may leave a huge gap that can only be filled by radical Islamic organizations deeply embedded in Egyptian society, with the help of the majority of Egyptians who are Muslims.

I think this administration is striking the wrong tone in this approach. It should refrain from any involvement in this Egyptian uprising for this is the same issue that people in this administration criticized President Bush of doing; toppling and bullying smaller states. While the Egyptians are clearly frustrated about their government, so are people in this country over the overextending of government powers under Obama. It is a huge mistake to support rioters when this administration got no clue as to who the leaders or the orchestrator of this mass protest is or are. To rush into demands for reform in Egypt,which may soon lead to the fall of Mubarak without understanding first hand the intentions of protesters, is indeed alarming. It is more likely, than not, for a radical Islamic regime to emerge in this whole chaos just as it did in the Iran in the 80s. And if it does, US and its ally Israel will face a very tough future henceforth.
