Destabalized Arab Government?

Okay so now that we got rid of a dictator, people are stepping up to the stage saying they want to protest to urge Islamic Rule in Yemen? People fought for democracy and now we have Mr. Sheik Abdul Majid al-Zindani saying we need an islamic government? i understand why he would say that knowing the Arab nation was crumbling, but i beg to differ for the same reason these protest started in the first place. freedom. people want democracy, they want liberty and the right to be who they want to be. i dont think anyone should be forced upon.

Not even  that, The cleric, Sheik Abdul Majid al-Zindani, has been on the United States Treasury Department’s list of “specially designated global terrorists” since 2004, suspected of fund-raising for Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. His call was a marked contrast to the message of the rebellions that brought down the leaders of Tunisia and Egypt and now threaten the rulers of Libya, Bahrain, Oman and, to this point, Yemen, where uprisings have been seen as secular and inspired by democratic goals. In the past, he has publicly opposed terrorism, if not jihad, or holy war, and his word as a spiritual leader carries considerable political and moral weight in Yemen. Shouldnt this send off alarms in America?

The U.S is sending thousands of soldiers to Afghanistan to prevent the control of talibans and here they are ignoring the rude remarks from Mr, zindani and just letting him do what he wants. eventually, he will win majority of the votes and once again a bad time will spread over yemen.

Mr. Zindani spoke on an open-air stage before several thousand anti-government protesters, guarded by 10 men in matching uniforms carrying AK-47’s and shielded from the scorching sun by two umbrellas wielded by aides. He called for Mr. Saleh to step down and described the fervor for reform as an opportunity. “An Islamic state is coming,” he said, drawing cries of “God is great” from some in the crowd.

He said Mr. Saleh “came to power by force, and stayed in power by force, and the only way to get rid of him is through the force of the people.”
