ISLAMISTS CONTROL 70% OF EGYPT'S PARLIAMENT: THANK YOU, BARRY!

Barry Soetoro's Middle East strategy is working:
CAIRO (AP) — Final results on Saturday showed that Islamist parties won nearly three-quarters of the seats in parliament in Egypt's first elections since the ouster of authoritarian president Hosni Mubarak, according to election officials and political groups.The Islamist domination of Egypt's parliament has worried liberals and even some conservatives about the religious tone of the new legislature, which will be tasked with forming a committee to write a new constitution. Overseeing the process will be the country's Mubarak-era military generals, who are still in charge. 
In the vote for the lower house of parliament, a coalition led by the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood won 47 percent, or 235 seats in the 498-seat parliament. The ultraconservative Al-Nour Party was second with 25 percent, or 125 seats.
Referring to the Brotherhood and the Al-Nour Party as "conservative" or "ultra-conservative" is of course nonsense. They are not "conservative" parties, they are radical, revolutionary Islamists who want to up-end the 21st century and return Egypt to the 7th.
