A crisis of confidence , not-so-happy assembly election results , cracks in the image-the Vajpayee mystique was in need of some repair . सरकार में घटता भरोसा , विधानसभा चुनावों के प्रतिकूल-से नतीजे और टूटती छवि-वाजपेयी मिथक को कुछ खुराक की जरूरत थी .

The about turn could well have something to do with the Uttar Pradesh assembly election results that has seen most major parties suddenly turn ambivalent on sensitive issues . मुमकिन है , उत्तर प्रदेश विधानसभा चुनाव के परिणामों के चलते ऐसा हा हो , जिसने संवेदनशील मुद्दों पर अधिसंय बड़ी पार्टियों को दुविधा में ड़ाल दिया था .

The report minimizes the threat of radical Islam via the fiction that a “proud religion” has been “twisted and made to serve an evil.” Not so: Islamism is a deeply grounded and widely popular version of Islam, as shown by election results from Afghanistan to Algeria. Reliable opinion polls are lacking from majority-Muslim countries but repeated surveys in Britain give some idea of the harrowingly extremist attitudes of its Muslim population: 5 % of them support the July 7, 2005, terrorist attacks in London and say more such attacks are justified; 20% have sympathy with the feelings and motives of the July 7 attackers and believe that suicide attacks against the military in Britain can be justified. These results are probably typical of Muslim populations globally, as recent polls of Indonesians and Palestinian Arabs confirms. 20 प्रतिशत मुस्लिम जनसंख्या 7 जुलाई के हमलावरों की भावना और हेतु से सहानुभूति रखती है और ब्रिटेन में सेना पर आत्मघाती हमलों को न्यायोचित ठहराती है . ये परिणाम वैश्विक मुस्लिम जनसंख्या के ही विचार हैं जैसा कि इण्डोनेशिया और फिलीस्तीनी अरब के हाल के जनमत सर्वेक्षण पुष्ट करते हैं .

Inexplicably varying results : A University of Jordan survey revealed that large majorities of Jordanians, Palestinians, and Egyptians wish the Shari‘a to be the only source of Islamic law - but only one-third of Syrians. Indonesian survey and election results led R. William Liddle and Saiful Mujani in 2003 to conclude that the number of Islamists “is no more than 15 percent of the total Indonesian Muslim population.” In contrast, a 2008 survey of 8,000 Indonesian Muslims by Roy Morgan Research found 40 percent of Indonesians favoring hadd criminal punishments (such as cutting off the hands of thieves) and 52 per cent favoring some form of Islamic legal code. अस्पष्ट और विविध परिणाम- जार्डन विश्वविद्यालय के सर्वेक्षण ने रहस्योद्घाटन किया कि बडी संख्या में बहुसंख्यक जार्डनवासी, फिलीस्तीनी और मिस्र के लोग चाहते हैं शरियत ही इस्लामी कानून का एकमात्र स्रोत हो जबकि एक तिहाई सीरियाई ही इस मत के हैं। इंडोनेशिया में सर्वेक्षण और चुनाव परिणामों के आधार पर आर विलियम लिडल और सैफुल मुजानी 2003 में इस निष्कर्ष पर पहुँचे कि इंडोनेशिया की कुल मुस्लिम जनसंख्या का 15 प्रतिशत से अधिक इस्लामवादी नहीं हैं। इसके विपरीत 2008 में रोय मोर्गन रिसर्च ने इंडोनेशिया के 8,000 मुसलमानों के मध्य सर्वेक्षण में पाया कि 40 प्रतिशत इंडोनेशियाई हद आपराधिक दण्ड का समर्थन करते हैं( जैसे चोरी के लिये हाथ काट लेना) और 52 प्रतिशत इस्लामी विधिक संहिता के पक्ष में हैं।

Dominate Egypt? If the military colludes with Islamists to remain in power, obviously it, and not Islamists retains ultimate control. This is the key point that conventional analysts miss: the recent election results allow the military to keep power . As aspiring Egyptian politician Mohamed ElBaradei correctly notes, “it is all in the hands of SCAF right now.” True, if Islamists control the parliament (not a sure thing; the military could yet decide to reduce their percentage in future rounds of an unusually complex voting procedure open to abuse), they acquire certain privileges and move the country further toward the Shari'a - as far, anyway, as SCAF permits. This maintains the long-term trend of Islamization underway since the military seized power in 1952. What about Western policy? First, press SCAF to build the civil society that must precede real democracy, so that the modern and moderate civilians in Egypt have a chance to express themselves. Second, instantly cease all economic aid to Cairo. It is unacceptable that Western taxpayers pay, even indirectly, for Islamizing Egypt. Resume funding only when the government allows secular Muslims, liberals, and Copts, among others, freely to express and organize themselves. Third, oppose both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis. Less extreme or more, Islamists of every description are our worst enemies. Mr. Pipes ( www.DanielPipes.org ) is president of the Middle East Forum and Taube fellow at the Hoover Institution. Ms Farahat is an Egyptian activist and co-author of a book about the Tahrir Square protests. A man walks by a graffito that proclaims “No to military rule,” crosses out a picture of military dictator Mohamed at-Tantawi and calls him a “fag.” Dec. 6, 2011 addendum : The text above refers to the USSR but Russia held elections two days ago that the U.S. secretary of state denounced for their “electoral fraud and manipulation.” At least they don't insult everyone's intelligence with 99-percent results. Egypt's military rulers said Wednesday that they would control the process of writing a constitution and maintain authority over the interim government to check the power of Islamists who have taken a commanding lead in parliamentary elections. मिस्र पर नियंत्रण? यदि सेना सत्ता में बने रहने के लिये इस्लामवादियों के साथ समझौता करती है जो कि ऐसा करेगी और इस्लामवादी अंतिम रूप से पूरा नियंत्रण स्थापित नहीं करते। यह मुख्य बिंदु है जिसे कि परम्परागत विश्लेषक भूल जा रहे हैं: हाल के चुनाव परिणाम से सेना को सत्ता पर नियंत्रण का अवसर मिलता है। जैसा कि मिस्रके उदीयमान राजनेता मोहम्मद अल बरदेयी ने सही ही कहा है, “ अभी तो सब कुछ एससीएसएफ के हाथ में है”।
