Blah Blah Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Couldn't think of an original post Davis, so had to duplicate your post on the other thread? I agree El Pibe on the Syrian aspect. But remember, the muslim brotherhood for example, emerged in Egypt in 1928, and if we are talking about regional activism, it has always been part of the region. There is a struggle in the Islamic world between reformists (moderates) who want to do business with the West and orthodox fundamentalists. That undercurrent has been bubbling for a hundred years! What usually happens is the government quoshes the fundamentalist movement, but I understand the Syrian government are asking for help now. I see it all as an offshoot of the Arab spring, and this time it seems to have growing numbers in support, and to be gaining ground in several countries at the same time. It's a wonder the region didn't fall into anarchy before tbh.
