Radical Islam behind Tensions in the Region

Although no official sources have declared this assertion, Radical Islam may be celebrating the disruption of peace in Egypt, and bringing the region to its everlasting melody of uprisings and violence. Since the victory of Hamas in 2006 in the Gaza Strip, strange things had to be taken place in the boundaries of Egypt and Israel beside the armament smuggling and secret tunnels, which has always been Israel’s main concern. The inadequate restriction and control of traffic between these two lands has been criticized by many scholars and the Israeli government. Thirty years of diplomacy and built relations between the United States and Egypt brought some peace in the region, at least between Egypt and Israel as a result of the acceptance and recognition of the Israeli State by the Arab nation of Egypt. Uncle Sam has injected billions of dollars per year to the Egyptian government and its military forces to preserve stability in the region. Multi-national forces in assignment as observers have also maintained an open eye from the Sinai to ensure peaceful living in the region. It seems that financial support from Washington blinded the American governments from the Carter administration to the Obama’s by feeding dollars in exchange for good relations with Israel. Let’s not forget that Egypt is an Arab nation and as such its population has exploded into an unbelievable uprising demanding the resignation of Hosni Mubarak. People on the streets are shouting for big changes, food, and attention to their needs and they are done in seeing their government with ties to the United States and both nations protection to the State of Israel. Very simple, Arab nations are meant for the destruction of the Israeli nation and prosecution of Jewish communities. What happened in November of 1977, when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made a stunning trip to Jerusalem as result of the Carter administration efforts to negotiate with Israel is backfiring now to the region, and to the United States. The return of the Sinai Desert to Egypt was a disgrace to the 7,000 Jewish people whom resettled themselves someplace else as part of the peace agreement plus the injection of billions of dollars to Egypt to stay away from Jewish land and to stop participating in the Arab League to boycott Israel. Maybe this will be the same scenario we confronted during the Persian Gulf War. America injected billions of dollars and armaments to Iraq to confront Iran and to position Baghdad on a victorious stand. Years later we fought them and confront them aiming at us with our own M-16 rifles. Are we ready to face the same scenario if Mubarak steps down from government? Besides the accusations of corruption that most likely great percentage of the injected money to Egypt had to be secluded somewhere else but Cairo, the faith of the peace processes is important and unpredictable at this point. Israel is at danger with the spread of the cancerous violence of Radical Islam as well as the United States. What Anwar Sadat agreed in 1977 paid with his own life in 1981 when he was assassinated by the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which opposed any sort of reconciliation with Israel. It is time for Mubarak to step-down, he has no choice. The Egyptian people are determined to put an end to thirty years of nothing but recession, unemployment, and hunger. We must be aware that Radical Islam is already in the veins of the nation system by birth and that diplomacy may not be the route to take when dealing with this Arab nation that sooner or later will rejoin its position to boycott Israel. A characteristic that shall not be overlooked is that it didn’t matter all the diplomatic relations, peace treaties, and good-faith promises between Egypt and Israel seasoned with promotion of tourism, trade, and agricultural benefits between these two nations when in fact anti-Israel propaganda pervades the Egyptian media as well as their educational system. The future of stability in the region is very unpredictable at this time. We wish for the prevalence of peace but we cannot overlook the decisive move of a corrosive Radical Islam in the region.
