Daily Notations From the Grid: on #Egypt; #Daesh & #Islam

We here @ #Outsider commented on the plight of Alaa Abdel-Fattah back in October 2014 as we assessed the latest out of the Middle East.    It is with great sorrow as we report that he has been sentenced to five years in Prison by an Egyptian Court.     This roll-back of Democracy and the ideals that led to the downfall of Mubarak seems to be dissipating by the minute in Egypt.   What was so inspiring was to see how their entire family has been at the forefront of Democratic Change in Egypt for over 30 years.

As Democracy is in retreat in Egypt and around the World, tyranny and repression seems to be the order of the day.   The horrific scenes from Syria yet again underscores the challenge faced by the World Community as the new US Defense Secretary convenyed a summitt in Kuwait on the Daesh/Dayesh Threat.     One horrific example was this that was reported by Al Arabiya over Twitter this morning:

This shows the Dayesh/Daesh merchants of death parading Kurdish Peshmerga Fighters.    It was of great pleasure as our founder signed this open letter to the so-called "Caliph" initiated by leading Islamic Scholars all around the World:

it was a pleasure to add my name so that these merchants of Deaths' true nature is known: http://t.co/ElD9Kj4WZA @baghdadiletter
