This development in Egypt is directly relevant to new Islamist extremism in the street-level political happenings in Bangladesh. The new aspect of this wave of Islamism in BD are the various tactical parapharnalia -- such as new levels and techniques of street-level flash violence, gratuitous mayhem and property destruction, abominable lies and misinformation against the Govt. spread over the internet accompanying horrifying photo-shop doctored pictures of victims, etc., paid journalists placing English language anti-Hasina articles in prominent news media in Europe and America, and so on and so forth.

31. EGYPT: DON'T MISS THE WOOD FOR THE TREES

If this rejection of political Islam catches on in the Muslim world, it can lead to a complete historical ideological shift
The entire debate on the dramatic events in Egypt this last week is now centred on the military intervention that has occurred on the side of the protestors. Those who support right-wing politics, though they have never earnestly supported democracy, have no hesitation in characterising recent events as a crime against democracy and a restoration of the military dictatorships of the past. Liberals, who condemn any form of military intervention in politics, feel that President Muhammad Morsi should have been allowed to complete his term, and join the right in denouncing the coup. In my opinion much of this debate misses the wood for the trees.
