<p>Whilst the world of western politicians, journalists and academics was high-fiving "the Arab Spring", we were warning that it would lead to a Fascist Summer. Raymond Ibrahim now spells it out: Obama was warned that withdrawing troops from Iraq would lead to ISIS.</p>
<hr/><p>Consider: <a href="http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obama-was-warned-repeatedly-of-consequences-of-withdrawal-from-iraq/">Obama was repeatedly warned</a> that withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq would lead to something exactly like the Islamic State—with all the atrocities that have become synonymous with that name.</p>
<p>Indeed, arguing against early troop withdrawal, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, once made the following now prophetic <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/09/11/bush-in-2007-delivered-eerily-accurate-warning-about-iraq-unrest/">remarks</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States.</p>
<p>It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to Al Qaeda.</p>
<p>It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale.</p>
<p>It would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>It would mean we’d be increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The point here is not to “side” with Bush—the idea of transporting “democracy” to an Islamic country was ill-conceived from the start—but rather to demonstrate that Obama was thoroughly warned what troop withdrawal would lead to: the Islamic State. The same U.S. military and intelligence sources that allowed Bush to make that prescient statement also <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2014/10/02/panetta-memoir-blames-obama-for-collapse-in-iraq/">shared their assessments with Obama</a>.</p>

<blockquote><p><span>There isn’t much mention of the Arab Spring anymore. The same media outlets that were predicting that the Middle East was about to turn into Europe have fallen silent. They are eager to forget their own lies....</span></p>
<p>The Arab Spring split the region more sharply than ever across Shiite and Sunni lines. Syria became the fault line in the bloody end of the Arab Spring. And Al Qaeda made its biggest power play yet.</p>
<p>Mali showed that Afghanistan was yesterday’s news. Al Qaeda franchises no longer needed to rely on a Taliban to carve out a territory for their training camps. They could become their own Taliban and seize an entire country.</p>

<p><span>If there was money to be made out of predicting where the world is going with islam, we should all be billionaires. By Jan 2012 we were mocking the idea of "the Arab Spring".</span></p>
<p><span>We might not get every step on the way right, but ignore the occasional mis-step, and over the months and years, our predictions are accurate.<br/><br/></span></p>

<p>This is amazing and baffling. Of all the places in the world for this to happen, it happens where the MB was born, via Sayyid Qutb and Hassan al Banna. Perhaps that's why? So as a result, the Egyptian people truly know that the MB is an anti-democratic totalitarian network, because they've lived with it the longest. Maybe Obama and his cronies might understand it too - if you give them a a few decades for it to sink into their thick skulls.</p>

<h1 id="page-title" class="asset-name entry-title">Egypt court bans Muslim Brotherhood</h1>
<div class="asset-content entry-content"><div class="asset-body"><p>This officially ends the "Arab Spring" period that was so widely hailed -- except here and at a few other jihad-conscious sites -- as a new flowering of democracy and pluralism in Egypt. Instead, it was a Muslim Brotherhood power grab that ultimately foundered when Egyptians who didn't want to live in a Sharia state rose up.</p>
<p>"Egypt court bans Muslim Brotherhood group," by Maggie Michael for the<a href="http://news.msn.com/world/egypt-court-bans-muslim-brotherhood-group" target="_blank">Associated Press</a>, September 23 (thanks to Kenneth):</p>
<blockquote>CAIRO — An Egyptian court Monday ordered the Muslim Brotherhood to be banned and its assets confiscated in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown by the military-backed government against supporters of the ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.<p>The ruling opens the door for a wider crackdown on the vast network of the Brotherhood, which includes social organizations that have been key for building the group's grassroots support and helping its election victories. The verdict banned the group itself — including the official association it registered under earlier this year — as well as "any institution branching out of it or ... receiving financial support from it," according to the court ruling, made public on Egypt's state official news agency MENA.</p>
<p>The judge at the Cairo Court for Urgent Matters also ordered the "confiscation of all the group's money, assets, and buildings" and said that an independent committee should be formed by the Cabinet to manage the money until final court orders are issued. The verdict can be appealed.</p>
<p>The Brotherhood was outlawed for most of its 85 years in existence. But after the 2011 ouster of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, it was allowed to work openly, formed a political party and rose to power in a string of post-Mubarak elections. In March, it registered as a recognized non-governmental organization.</p>
<p>"This is totalitarian decision," leading group member Ibrahim Moneir said in an interview with Qatari-based Al-Jazeera Mubashir Misr TV. "You are losers and it (the Brotherhood) will remain with God's help, not by the orders by the judiciary of el-Sissi," he added, referring to military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who led the overthrow of Morsi July 3....</p>
