Dégagez le Ballon de la Liberté!




The offices of the Muslim Brotherhood sacked in Egypt and in Libya.
The assassination of a secularist politician has led to large protests in Tunisia.
People are still peacefully protesting in Turkey.

There is a large number of people in the Middle East who are religious, but under no circumstances want to have a government defined by religion.

This is all news to our news opinionators.

The People want Freedom, not Fatwa.

The title is a metaphor: religious leaders and dictators have kept the "ball" of freedom tied up for years and now it is time to "clear"  (dégagez!) the ball out, and put it in play for the rest of mankind in the Middle East.
Dégagez le ballon de football de la liberté !
