Another protest? What is going on in the Middle East? Is this the change we Americans have been waiting for? Or are these events a precursor to more extremism? Whatever it is, the revolutions cannot be labeled "Islamic." Why? Because the motives are economic and political, not religious.

I call on my fellow citizens to not interpret these uprisings as a "Muslim" act. They are nothing but secular revolts which some are attributing to religion.
