One unlikely outcome of the eight days of fighting from Gaza seems to be the forging of a new alliance between US President Barack Obama and his Egyptian counterpart Mohammed Morsi, according to the New York Times.

According to the paper, the two leaders spoke three times in 24 hours, and six times over the course of a few days, about the conflict in Gaza.

Obama was “impressed with the Egyptian leader’s pragmatic confidence. He sensed an engineer’s precision with surprisingly little ideology,” in the Times’s words.

 

 

According to Hassan al-Banna (1906-1949), founder of the Muslim Brotherhood: 

It is the nature of Islam to dominate,

not to be dominated,

to impose its law on all nations

 and to extend its power to the entire planet.”

An "engineer's precision"? Sounds like the perfect guy to run an Islamic republic -- which is what Egypt is about to become. After all, running an Islamic republic is all about making sure nobody deviates in the slightest from the most stringent applications of sharia -- like the stoning to death of women accused of aultery, the chopping off of the hands of shoplifters, the beheading of apostates, and the many other Islamic punishments requiring an engineer's precision (all of which are described in Andrew Bostom's new book, "Sharia versus Freedom.") Yep ... Morsi should be perfect in his new job.
