The Hope and Change in the Islamic Sphere

As I follow the upheavals in Islamic countries, one thing emerges: large, ugly but clear--the change the revolutions bring is nothing the average Muslim envisioned. No, the hope of the secular leaning Muslim is being dashed with every minute the change proceeds. Salafists in Egypt, Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah and whatever the jihadists want to call themselves in other settings have taken over the freedom movements and will bring oligarchic, terroristic governments to the countries seeking freedom and prosperity. It has been the sad end of most revolutions  to be usurpt by the most violent segment of the upsurge which, in the end, killed everything good, spiritual and foreward-looking the people had envisioned.
