  • Islamophobia AFF

    • Tournament: KCKCC | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:

    • American fundamentalism is on the rise Giroux 11 (Henry A. Giroux, "Breivik's Fundamentalist War on Politics, and Ours,") The tragic slayings…has a future.

      Status quo democratization epitomizes this logic by constructing Islam as anti-democratic and inherently threatening- exerts power over the Alterity and epistemologically subverts local subjectivity  Teti 07 (Andrea, “Confessions of a Dangerous Paradigm: Democratisation, Transitology and Orientalism”) A key element…the good of all.”39

      This creates an adversarial relationship to Islam which pervades U.S. foreign policy exemplified by current allocations of democracy assistance which exclude Islamist parties Kull 11 (Steven, “Why Muslims are still mad at America”) On the ten-year…grow resolutely hostile.

       “Allowing” Islamist participation while simultaneously engineering elections against them ensures Islamophobic control over U.S. political party assistance. Carothers 11 (Thomas, “How not to promote democracy in Egypt,”) As the U.S…way to start.

      Genocide  Munjid 11 (“Overcoming Islamophobia in the United States,”) Remember, as institutionalized…the consequences are.

      The pursuit of “stability” is based on this fundamentally racist decision calculus in which Arabs have no agency and violence done to them is rendered invisible Yezza 11( Hicham, February 5, editor-in-chief of Ceasefire, “Real Arab democracy Vs mythical “regional stability”) However, one of…must end now.

      Thus the plan: The United States Federal Government should make political party support available for Egyptian political parties regardless of their religious affiliation.

      Providing aid to Islamists is critical to force democratization away from Islamophobic fundamentalists
      Teti 07 (Andrea “Confessions of a Dangerous Paradigm: Democratisation, Transitology and Orientalism”) [The bio-politics of…sought to undermine. 

      We must recognize our complicity in democratization Kapoor 08 (Ilan, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, “The Postcolonial Politics of Development,” p. 54-55) Taking Derrida’s lead… ‘accountable positioning’ (Haraway).

  • Muslim Brotherhood AFF

    • Tournament: | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:

    • Advantage 1 is Muslim Brotherhood

      The SCAF is executing smear campaigns against political parties and CSOs as a prelude to an attempt to rig the election – monitoring is key to check.

      Hassan and Shenker in 11

      Amro and Jack; journalist who writes regularly for The Guardian from Egypt. His work has covered India and Nepal, Central Asia, the Balkans, the US and Gaza, and has been published in a wide range of magazines and newspapers across the globe - including The Times, The Independent, The New Statesman and Monocle; Egyptian human rights groups accuse junta of smear campaign; http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/24/egypt-human-rights-military

      A list of 39 organisations have added their … presence and monitoring will be crucial."

       

      Status quo means Brotherhood wins – US must provide technical assistance to check

      Trager in 11

      Eric, Ira Weiner Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and an associate scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, “The Unbreakable Muslim Brotherhood,” Foreign Affairs, September/October 2011, 90(5), Ebsco

      Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood, which largely …Tahrir Square fought so valiantly.

       

      Muslim Brotherhood win kills the global economy and triggers a war with Israel which will escalate to global nuclear war

      Rose in 11

      Taylor, International Relations and Strategic Intelligence – Liberty University, “The Islamic Revolution Part II”, Youth for Western Civilization, 2-1, http://www.westernyouth.org/articles/the-islamic-revolution-part-ii/

      The riots in Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Yemen …global advancement of her enemies.

       

      Even if the Brotherhood takes control, plan is key to moderate

      Duss in 11

      Matthew, Policy Analyst and Director of Middle East Progress – Center for American Progress and MA in Middle East Studies – University of Washington, “Are We Serious About A Democratic Egypt?”, ThinkProgress Security, 2-4, http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/02/04/176481/are-we-serious-about-a-democratic-egypt/

      I agree that U.S. has an interest … getting used to that idea.

       

      Advantage 2 is US leadership

      Hegemony is sustainable

      Ron Marks, Senior Vice President for Government Relations, Oxford-Analytica, June 1, 2010 10:55 AM, “The Decline Redux,” http://security.nationaljournal.com/2010/06/superpower-or-spendthrift.php#1589150

      Ok, let's get some facts on the table … this is getting boring.

       

      But Mid-East hegemony is on the brink

      The Guardian Monday 31 May 2010, “US hegemony in Middle East is ending,” http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/may/31/us-hegemony-middle-east-ending

      Not that this era is yet upon us,,, in the Middle East could be ending.

       

      Egyptian instability cripples US regional leadership

      Kitfield in 11 (James,  National Journal; 3/5/2011, p10-10, 1p,  U.S. Faces Dynamic Instability in the Middle East, Academic Search Premier)

      No one can predict the … consequences for the entire region."

       

      That’s key to global hegemony – basing and oil

      Naqvi 2001, MB, “The muddle the US Middle East policy is,”  Media Monitors Network, originally published in Defense Journal, http://www.mediamonitors.net/mbnaqvi10.html

      Among other facts that are certain … self-interest of the US.

       

      Extinction

      Kagan in 11

      Robert Kagan. Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace “The Price of Power: The benefits of U.S. defense spending far outweigh the costs.” Jan 24, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 18. http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/price-power_533696.html?page=1

      Today the international situation … and the table will not fall over.

       

      The alt to hegemony is apolarity

      Ferguson in 4

      Niall, Professor of History at New York University's Stern School of Business and Senior fellow at the Hoover Institution; “A world without power,” Foreign Policy 143, p. 32-39, July-August

      But what if these esteemed theorists are … retreat into a few fortified enclaves.

       

      Advantage 3 is Iran

      Egyptian transition implicates regional balancing and security calculations – failure risks empowering Iran

      Alterman 11

      Jon B; senior fellow and director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; 6/15/The Earthquake: How Egypt Emerges from Uncertainty; CSIS; http://csis.org/files/publication/110610_alterman_GlobalForecast2011.pdf

      The stakes are surely …sectors that create jobs.

       

       

      Egyptian transition inevitable – only a robust democratic government checks Iranian regional power

      Santini in 11

      Ruth Hanau; and Alessandri Visiting Fellow with the Brookings Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE) expertise in European foreign policy, international security and Middle Eastern politics; Emiliano; Transatlantic Fellow at the German Marshall Fund; “Iran and Turkey after Egypt: Time for Regional Re-alignments?”; Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings

      At present, the balance of power … presented to the Middle East.

       

      Iranian regional hegemony risks terrorism, proliferation, and global nuclear war

      Maginnis 11

      Robert; retired Army lieutenant colonel, and a national security and foreign affairs analyst; U.S. Paving the Way for Iran Hegemony; Human Events7/12/; http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=44787

      President Barack Obama’s wrongheaded … its nonstop arms sales.

       

       

      Advantage 4 is Egyptian Prolif

      Egyptian radicalism causes cascading prolif

      Sokolski in 11

      Even more dangerously… likely to be destabilized.

       

      Egypt is the most likely scenario for runaway proliferation

      Fitzpatrick in 11

      Mark; Director of Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme; Today Protests, Tomorrow Nukes?; The International Institute for Strategic Studies; http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-voices/?blogpost=128

      In a 2009 report, the IISS … Egyptian nuclear deterrent.

       

      Nuclear war

      Blake in 11

      Heidi Blake, WikiLeaks: tension in the Middle East and Asia has 'direct potential' to lead to nuclear war, The Telegraph, Feb 2, 2011, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8298427/WikiLeaks-tension-in-the-Middle-East-and-Asia-has-direct-potential-to-lead-to-nuclear-war.html

      Tension in the Middle East and Asia … absorbed through the skin.

       

      Escalates globally

      Primakov 2009 E.M. Laureate of the Lomonosov Grand Gold Medal, Scientific Session of the General Meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, “The Middle East Conflict in the Context of International Relations,” Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vol. 79, No. 5, pp. 468–472.

      After the end of the …consequences for the whole world.

       

      Plan: The United States federal government should fully fund the National Democratic Institute for its programs on technical cooperation in political organization and elections monitoring in Egypt.

       

      Finally, Solvency:

      US assistance through the NDI is critical to bolster failing initiatives – solves monitoring, civil society, and political party training. Additional funding now is key

      Masloski in 11, Andrew (Director of Educational Outreach at America Abroad Media). “The Price of Democracy in Egypt.” Foreign Policy. 2/9 http://mideast.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2011/02/09/the_price_of_democracy_in_egypt

      While Congress has …the U.S. has to offer.

       

      US success in Egypt is key to solve anti-Americanism in the region and re-establish regional credibility.

      Hamid in 11

      Shadi; Director of Research @ Brookings Doha Center; The Struggle for Middle East Democracy; Cairo Review of Global Affairs; http://www.brookings.edu/articles/2011/0426_middle_east_hamid.asp

      The revolutions are far from … aspirations. This has not happened.

       

      Perception is key in the coming months- the US must show support for democratic regimes to boost its image in the region

      Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) - 09/08/2011,  Whither the Arab Spring, The Hill, http://thehill.com/opinion/op-ed/180407-whither-the-arab-spring

      The coming months will determine … emerges in the coming months.

       

      U.S. assistance gives secular groups the resources and skills necessary to compete and prevent Brotherhood control

      Ali in 11

      Ayaan Hirsi, Fellow – American Enterprise Institute and Founder – AHA Foundation, “Get Ready for the Muslim Brotherhood”, New York Times, 2-3, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/04/opinion/04iht-edali04.html?page wanted=all

      Those two experiences gave me some … succumb to another.

       

      No uniqueness – the US is already dumping aid in Egypt – it’s perceived and we’ve been criticized for it. US commitment to this track is key.

      O’Keefe in 11

      Quinn; Senior Associate, Human Rights Defenders; U.S. Should Be Proud of Doing the Right Thing to Support Independent Civil Society in Egypt; Human Rights First; http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/2011/08/16/u-s-should-be-proud-of-doing-the-right-thing-to-support-independent-civil-society-in-egypt/

      The U.S. government is … intentions of backing down.

       

      And, nearly 1.6 billion in US Aid to Egypt now.
