And never the twain shall meet - 'Google based revolutions' and 'The Will of Allah'

I will quote from one of your earlier your article:

The analogy to Iran never rings truer given the historical strain of similarity. Iran and Egypt, who have a vibrant class of intellectuals, were both the cradles of civilizations, neither of them originally Muslims. Today they are the theological centers of Islam representing the two major factions– the Shiites and the Sunnis – in Qom and the Al-Azhar. This is the time to support the egalitarianism and secularism that ensures equal opportunity to all segments of the social order. What is the point of a revolution if it brings you down in every respect – politically, socially, economically, intellectually? Iran is the most apt comparable example, as it became the weakest power post revolution, like the last falling domino. Today Egypt stands at the same crossroads. Either Egyptians can decide to waste 30 years in pursuit of another failed revolution and end up in chains like Ayatollahs’ Iran in the hands of another Mufti, or adopt a freedom-based system reflective of the 5,000-year-old civilisation they represent. Egyptians may not have the luxury of oil, but they have lush fertile land. To get the best out of the Nile, Egypt needs peace and conformity with secular ideology.

No revolution process would be completed if the Middle East is not ready to break its chains from ideological underpinnings of political Islam; this 'Dechristianisation' is the most important factor to consider. Given the tendency of Islam to rely upon the strongman, one group of strongmen will be replaced by another (Perhaps that will be the nutshell of these revolutions in the Middle East), but this region has been lucky enough in recent times to have a 'few benign secular despots' like Mubarak, Saddam, King Abdullah as a balance to OBL/Qaradawi kind of alternative dictatorship that political Islam has to offer. But the Information Age has served a final death blow to these benign family-based kingdoms.

It is time for the west to stand by the liberals of Egypt. Liberals experiences of Iran should be eye opening. The Iranian revolution in 1979 was a genuinely anti-authoritarian in which liberals leaning to the right, like Bazargan and Yazdi, played an important role. Communists, trade unionists, independents, and Islamists were all a part of Khomeini-led rainbow alliance. Islamists used the liberals and others to make way to power, but then jettisoned everyone to hold the power singularly. Like Nazis and Stalin, the best way for extremists is to use mass popular support and eradicate the major supporter in the post cleansing operation.

The present revolutions also have a distinctive character based on geography and culture. The Maghreb revolutions were different from the Egyptian category and so will the Spring of Saudis and Iranians be. Iranians are ready to revolt against the 'selected' autocratic regime; they are 35 years ahead of any other Middle Eastern country, i.e., being incarcerated by the chains of ideology. Iranian spring is the most viable amongst all that we talk about; this uprising has the seeds and elements of Dechristianisation i.e. a revolt against the Islamic republic.
