I hope the "Arab Spring" will slowly produce a more progressive form of Islam, balancing between the right things and the things that should be left in the past.
The people will need time, in Egypt for example: The Muslim brotherhood has been oppressed for decades, so its no wonder they won the election. The case is similar in many Arabic countries.
I think the people need time to go through the religious state phase.
I hope they realize this is their chance to show the world Islam isn't the satanic/barbaric religion some anti islamic westerns try to portray it as, but a beautiful one from which the whole world can learn a thing or two.
I realize this post is from 2012, but when I saw this part of OP's post I almost spit out my coffee laughing.
First of all, although the "arab spring" as it was called could have possibly been a force for good the ugly reality is that it was hijacked by western intelligence services and perverted for purposes of regime change and proxy wars.
The amount of death, murder, and killing that came out of it, especially in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, is incalculable. CIA-backed jihadists were empowered to go on a killing spree in all 3 of these countries, while of course being supported in their efforts from behind the scenes by the CIA. The United States took the most radical fanatics and armed them to the teeth with billions of $$$ in military grade equipment and sent them off to kill as many innocent people as they could in all 3 countries I just mentioned, for purposes of controlling & dominating the middle east in general. As if that weren't bad enough, the US ended up supporting the jihadists in Libya with airstrikes, with US pilots literally acting as air support for their jihadist proxies on the ground. Libya was totally destroyed and tens of thousands were killed. Don't even get me started on Syria & Iraq, because I could write a book on the subject.
Meanwhile, in other countries which were already allied with the US/Israel, and where regime change was not desirable (because these regimes were already firmly in the pocket of Uncle Sam), and where there was an attempted "arab spring", the protesters there were brutally & violently massacred by their local governments with the full backing of the US/Israel with absolutely no media coverage whatsoever. For example, Bahrain, where the government massacred thousands with the full blessing of US intelligence, and not a peep from the media about it either.
As for the muslim brotherhood, they too are very self-serving radicals with an agenda of their own. There is a reason they ended up losing power in Egypt after taking it. Primarily because they didn't actually have nearly as much support in Egypt as they claimed, but were rather, once again, being propped up by the US.
I hate to bring geopolitics into this discussion, but what I'm saying is true. We all like to look at things romantically from within the context of the Ra material. Unfortunately, reality sometimes comes along and smacks you in the face..
