On November 4, 1979, a mob indirectly under Khomeini's direction seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, an action that encouraged Islamist confidence and unleashed Muslim fury against Americans worldwide. That fury then took violent form when Khomeini inaccurately declared that the capture of the Great Mosque of Mecca on November 20 was a U.S.-led assault on the sanctities of Islam. (In fact, it was carried out by a group of bin Laden-like fanatics.) 4 नवम्बर 1979 को खोमैनी के परोक्ष निर्देश पर भीड़ ने तेहरान में अमेरिकी दूतावास की घेरेबन्दी कर ली. इस घटना से इस्लामवादियों का आत्मविश्वास बढ़ गया और समस्त विश्व में अमेरिका के विरूद्ध मुसलमानों के आक्रोश का प्रतीक बन गया. यह गुस्सा आक्रामक स्वरूप में परिवर्तित हो गया जब खोमैनी ने अनुपयुक्त तरीके से घोषित किया कि 20 नवम्बर को मक्का की महान मस्जिद पर नियन्त्रण का कार्य इस्लाम के पवित्र स्थानों पर अमेरिका नीत हमले का अंग है. (वास्तव में यह कार्य बिन लादेन जैसे उन्मादियों के गुट का कार्य था)

To which my response is this: I am delighted to hear that Muhammad Ali did these good deeds. But by 2002 he was far along with Parkinsonism, so his decisions were largely made by his handlers in his name. These do not provide real insight into his character. That character, rather, was shown earlier, when Ali had full control of his facilities. To understand that better, I turn to Jack Cashill, author of the forthcoming book, Sucker Punch: The Hard Left Hook That Dazed Ali and Killed King's Dream . Cashill sent me a copy of the book manuscript and it, to say the least, confirms my thesis about Ali's poor behavior. Here is an excerpt, reviewing Ali's negative accomplishments during his first crucial years in the public eye, 1960-75: Ali knowingly betrayed Malcolm X, a betrayal that led at least indirectly to Malcolm's assassination. जूडिए पर्ल की इस प्रतिक्रिया पर मेरी यही प्रतिक्रिया है कि मैं यह सुनकर काफी प्रसन्न हूं कि मुहम्मद अली ने अच्छे कार्य किए लेकिन 2002 में वह पार्किन्सन से पीड़ित थे और उनके निर्णय उनके सहयोगियों द्वारा लिए जाते थे इसलिए इस समय में उनके चरित्र का उचित आकलन नहीं हो पाता . उनके चरित्र का वास्तविक आकलन तब होता है जब उनका स्वयं पर पूरा नियंत्रण था .इसे समझने के लिए जैक कैशिल की आगामी पुस्तक Sucker Punch: The Hard Left Hook That Dazed Ali and Killed King's Dream . का सहारा लेना होगा . कैशिल ने अपनी पुस्तक की पांडुलिपि मुझे भेजी जिससे अली के संबंध में लचर व्यवहार की मेरी धारणा और पुष्ट हो गई . यहां 1960 से 1975 के मध्य के कुछ अंश प्रस्तुत हैं जो अली के महत्वपूर्ण सामाजिक जीवन हैं और उसके व्यवहार के नकारात्मक पक्ष को प्रस्तुत करते 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”।
