A PICTURE OF THE " GAME CHANGER".

Two events in the past 24 hrs have dominated the news, but one I will refrain from talking about, ie the events in Libya. Why I refrain from this is event is based upon some of my private feelings and I must keep from stating them at this point in my life.

So, let me get on with the event in Egypt and what it means to the rest of the free world.

Take a good look at the picture I have attached to this post.

Is this the mental picture you have when someone says, " Islamic Fundamentalist / Radical Islamist?

The obvious answer for most of the world is no!

So, why does this picture worry people like me?

For almost two years some have had the opinion the Arab Spring had been and would be kidnapped by the Islamist.

I think I've had that conversation a thousand times since the first protest in Tunisia.

The ability of key influential, persuasive, manipulative "leaders" to talk young, unemployed, "lost" young men into committing violent acts; acts they may not truly understand the true purpose; well...... It works!

Creating an "us against them" climate is not hard to do when you are persuading people who are lost on the path of life.

So, here comes the million dollar question!

Is this the new face of Islamic Radicalism?  

Is this the mutation of AQ that UBL dreamed of?

You see, AQ was never intended to be a group of Elitist Fighters who march into martyrdom while the rest of the Muslim world sing songs about their exploits.

UBL's dream was to have the movement go, in the words of my coworker, "Mainstream".

The Black flag of AQ, the one the US DoS would not admit to this morning, has become the new " Battle Banner" for the youth of Egypt, or so it would seem.

Is that all the youth?

No, but it's the ones that didn't wave that flag last year that count.

Ok; from the very beginning of the Arab Spring / Tunisian Virus /  my name for the movement I will not come off of, the fear was the transformation of young, unemployed adults, grasping onto something that gives them purpose.

It's what lost young people do.

Now, some might be speed reading this post and jump to the conclusion I am painting a picture of all the young people in Egypt morphing into AQ members... far from it.

In reality, it is the AQ mindset that is transforming and the "Masters" of that transformation in the Mother Ship of the movement... The Muslim Brotherhood!

What was Morsi play in the events of yesterday?

If you say he had no play in that day, you are a fool and fools go into history as the stepping stones of others.

Let me spell out for you what I believe happened yesterday in Egypt.

Morsi has been on a steady course to transform Egypt into the center of the Muslim world and  to have the Sunni dominance of that world.

What better way to test his new " Militia" of youth, after nutralizing the Generals in the Egyptian Military, then to give them a mission.

Let me ask you something.

Does anyone really think all these "kids", look at the photo again, were just sitting around the with these brand new, clean black flags, the flag of AQ, and suddenly decided to protest at the US embassy over a movie on You Tube that has been out for months?

And so these "kids" happen to have one of these black flags larger than the others they had mounted to sticks to carry, that they could replace the US flag on the US compound?

Really... that was a spontaneous event??? Really????

This was not a IED event.. this was not an open, attack to kill a US Ambassador... this was not a classic AQ event.

This was Morsi's new militia going on a test run; a militia based on Islamic values driven to violence by a few key leaders... the MB.

How in the world did they get to the walls of the US embassy on the anniversary of 9-11?

Was the date not a indicator to the Egyptian government to have extra security near the US compound?.... Really???

Look at the pictures... look how long the event took place... Where were the guards?

If there is a reason they are not in the photos, and I would bet there is some lame political level response by Egypt, then the other problem is the perception of the American public.

I could go on and on, but the facts are becoming ever more clear..

The time of the free world trying to find a way to live with Islamic Fundamentalist; even some perceived " middle of the road version" like the MB is gone!

It is time to see Morsi for what he is.. the reprehensive leader of a well oiled, dangerous movement with a long history of death...the Brotherhood!

It's time to understand the dream of UBL, a child of the MB movement, could be coming true.

The old AQ may be still out there with all the talk of them being dysfunctional due to killing key leaders, but the fact of the matter is the Islamic Awakening make be taking hold and it may be taking hold in a group that is susceptible to any form of pride and hope...   something Morsi and his MB knows better than anyone else in the Middle East.

This event was far more than a protest against some You Tube clip.

This could very well be the first round of a new, more recognized phase of the MB "Master Plan"..
