The '''Arab Spring''' of 2011-2012 was a journalistic euphemism intended to evoke reminiscences of the 1968 [[Prague Spring]], or a peaceful demonstration against [[authoritarian]] rulers to bring about "socialism with a human face". It ultimately was a bloody disaster and led to the rise of the [[Islamic State]], six million disposessed refugees and 300,000 dead in [[Syria]]; [[Libya]], [[Yemen]] and other states destabilized. The powers that be remaining in control of secular [[Egypt]]. And [[Iran]], with Western acquiescence, on the path to becoming a [[nuclear]] power.

:... the idea of an “Arab Spring” for the entire Arab world that President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and investor George Soros strongly promoted turned out to be based on a naïve idealism that instead undermined the rule of law and led to anarchy, starvation, and a refugee crisis that hurt citizens more than the dictatorships that preceded it.<ref>[https://appliedunificationism.com/2016/02/08/best-policy-ideas-of-the-2016-presidential-candidates/ The Best Policy Ideas of the 2016 Presidential Candidates], Gordon Anderson - February 8, 2016</ref>

==Egypt==

For some months the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] controlled [[Egypt]] until the government gets overthrown again. [[al-Qaeda]] is stronger in Yemen with control on some cities. In 2015 Islamist [[Hothis|Houthi]]-rebels took control over [[Yemen]]. In Libya [[Benghazi Attack|Islamists killed the ambassador of the United States]] and the late government wanted to construct [[Sharia]] law. The syrian president [[Bashar al-Assad]] does not want to resign his tenure. So it came to the [[Syrian Civil War]] (mainly a mercenary war), where an Islamist opposition fights against the secular government and also [[Sunni|Sunnis]] fight [[Shia|Shias]].<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-25212247</ref> In [[Tunisia]] the Islamist [[Ennahda]]-party took the power.<ref>http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/the-arab-spring-is-dead/</ref>

The policies of US President [[Barack Hussein Obama]] with regard to the Arab Spring seemed to be in the interest of Muslim [[theocracy]], unlike previous [[President of the United States of America|American Presidents]] who have favored governments which are secular and pro-[[Israel]].
