When Mohamed Morsi's ouster was announced,Tahrir Square erupted in euphoria. Now that jubilation has spread beyondEgypt's borders. With many neighboring Arabic countries celebrating but forvery different reasons. Take Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, usually quirereserved when it comes to matters of diplomacy, today not sounding all thatdiplomatic. Congratulating the Egyptian military for its coup and effusive inhis praise saying they had managed to save Egypt at this critical moment from adark tunnel. They weren't the only country taking delight to Morsi's fall. TheUnited Arab Emirates decided to highlight how the Muslin brotherhood thepolitical movement the propelled Morsi to office is banned in the Emiratesadding that the UAE is following with satisfaction developments of situation inEgypt.

Bahrain and Jordan both offered similarresponses which analysts say is in no way surprising.

A lot of the Gulf monarchies are simplyafraid of democratic change, elections democratic reform. Their fear the Muslimbrotherhood is twofold. One is the Muslim brotherhood has proven the mosteffective winning election and mobilizing votes. Also that Muslim brotherhoodyou know has this, you know marriage that I say between Islamic democracies isworrisome.

Salem says these monarchies are extremelyworried about the emergence of a regional brotherhood network that would pose adirect threat to their rule. Even Qatar which had backed the brotherhood inEgypt issued a statement saying it will remain supportive of the country.

Then there's Syria in the throes of civilwar. In the battle President Barshar al-Assad took the time to gloat. From thebeginning I said the project to the failure before it began said al-Assad.

The Syrian regime, I'm sure, is thrilledwith this outcome because it sort of a search state power against Islamists. Asthe Assad regime has painted the uprising in Syria exactly as that.

Now the question becomes what will otherregional Islamist political movements do in the wake of Egypt.

In Tunisia where the Arab spring first tookroot, opposition took Islamist Ennahda Party has been growing and whereTunisians once inspired Egyptians to take to the streets, now Egypt isinspiring Tunisia.

Ennahda also faces very severe oppositionand protest demonstrations from a effective civil society, sector opposition,women's movement, labor union and so on.

Neither way all eyes are still onEgypt.  The festivities will no doubt diedown as the concern only grows.
