Phares to USA Today: "If Islamists take over in Libya they will block secular society and join anti-Western forces in the region"

"If an Islamist movement akin to the Muslim Brotherhood succeeds in gaining dominance in Libya, it would divide Libyan society between male and female and block the media and educational system from creating a secular society that can integrate with the West, he says."They would create a bloc of regimes with other other Islamic regimes that would be against the (Israeli-Palestinian) peace process and mobilize militarily against Israel," Phares says. "They would want to compete with and defeat the influence of the United States in the region and beyond." (Walid Phares in USA Today) [ Visit Website ]
