View original postIraq, Syria, Egypt. Authoritarian secularists on one side and Authoritarian Islamists on the other side. Some small parallels to Yugoslavia in the 90's. Look for Turkey to be the next site of serious clashes.
In Iraq and to a large extent Syria, the battle is more between Sunnites and Shi'ites - in both cases including more secularly oriented people as well as religious fanatics - than between secular and Islamist.
And as for Turkey, I can't agree with that at all. Not to say that Turkey doesn't have issues, as the anti-Erdogan demonstrations underlined, but I see absolutely no reason to expect anything like what is going on in Egypt now.
What the hell is happening in Egypt? *NM*

Depends whom you ask, but apparently pro-Morsi forces trying to storm his place of detention.

"They deposed Morsi! Finally!" Or Mubarak. I share The Shrikes conclusion (if not all his rationale)
