The democrats called it a drive for democracy. Barack Obama likened the Arab Spring to his own rise to power, calling it the Muslim World's version of hope and change. The media tried searching for some way to connect the wonderful rise of democracy in the Middle East to Obama, to try to prop him up. . . then, the Arab Spring took an interesting turn. The Muslim Brotherhood, previously outlawed in Egypt, gained control of the government. The radical Islamist group has gained prominence in Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Syria as well. Meanwhile, Iran has become more emboldened, revealed by the Islamic Republic's saber rattling (along with threats to shut down the Strait of Hormuz) and the advancement of their nuclear ambitions.
Violent revolution has emerged, under the label of "liberation," but what we are seeing in the Muslim World since the commencement of the revolution in 2011 is a massive takeover of fairly moderate and secular Muslim nations by radical Islamism. The Muslim Brotherhood is simply the vehicle, but the enemy has not been al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and the Muslim Brotherhood. The enemy is the link each of those groups enjoy: Islamism.
What is happening in the Middle East is more than streets filled with demonstrators, and the fall of mighty tyrants. What is happening is the spread of Islamism, a change towards Shariah law. Any dream of democracy is gone. Any hope for what we thought was happening has fizzled. The members of those Middle Eastern societies are now prisoners of Islam, radical Islam, an ideology that imprisons its followers, and slaughters its opponents mercilessly.
When the demonstrations broke out it was believed a secular movement was on the march, and the democratic processes the people were seeking would simply eliminate admittedly unacceptable tyrants, and move those countries in a direction away from violent dictatorships. However, the radical Islamists supporting groups like the Muslim Brotherhood rapidly began to outnumber the secularists, driving these countries toward Shariah law. Violence ensued, and in Egypt alone 900 people were killed.
So far, the peaceful Arab Spring has claimed 50,000 people, secular Arabs have been silenced, and non-Muslims are in hiding. We have lost allies, and previously stabilizing nations in the Middle East. Any hope for so-called democracy has been lost, and Islamism has emerged as the victor.
In the end, however, this is not about democracy, the Arab Spring, or the Muslim Brotherhood. The whole mess in the Middle East simply reveals the real problem - Islam. The barbaric ideology of the false prophet, Muhammad, is seeking to expand across the Middle East, and ultimately worldwide, and the policies of the Obama administration, the international leftists of NATO, and the international leftists of the United Nations, have enabled the rapid spread of Islamism. As Islam gains strength in the Middle East, a gain of momentum in Europe has also been made. France has over 750 Muslim dominated No-Go Zones. Brussels, now over 25% Muslim, is faced with violence and a cry for a Muslim take-over of the city. Sweden has indicated that within the decade the Scandinavian country will be under a Muslim majority. Even President Merkel in Germany has voiced a concern over the spread of Islam in German, and claims Germany will be a Muslim State in a matter of decades.

In the United States, Dearborn, Michigan has even gotten to the point that Christians are being stoned as cops look the other way, and some American courts are beginning to bend like a reed in the wind when faced with Shariah.
So the question is simple. Will we be like Neville Chamberlain and believe that appeasement will stop the war machine we are facing, or will we take control of the situation and stop the rise of Islam before the world finds itself unable to fight off the onslaught of Shariah, and the war currently being waged by radical Islamic terrorists, and peaceful Muslim immigrants coming to various countries for the purpose of participating in the Islamization of those countries?
War is coming, war is here, and it will escalate if we don't stop it.
