In the last few weeks, the Muslim world seems to have gone completely chaotic. Egypt's government was overthrown, and a military coup is now in place. Algeria, Yemen, and Tunisia have also been rioting and protesting. Southern Sudan just had elections to secede from the North. Iran had protests this morning, and the military set off tear gas to dispel the crowds. Is this a good thing?
My personal opinion is that some aspects are, and some aren't. Is it good that they are on the uprise? Yes, I do. The people of those countries have been oppressed and subdued for decades, some, for centuries. And now the people are taking after Egypt, and demanding reform. However, I think that it is a perfect chance for the Muslim Brotherhood to take control of the situation, and we could have another Afghanistan, except in several countries. Not good. I think right now, though, it is mostly impossible for that to happen in Egypt, as long as the military stays in power. It just won't happen.
