I don't see this event contributing positively to the revolutions in the Arab world. Some segments of society will surely hail him as a martyr and this is sure to deepen some divisions and could (theoretically anyway) undermine some of these revolutions. This is a time where people need to unite and forget about what makes them different. I don't see this event helping this cause in any way. Rather it has the potential to do the opposite. But I'm somewhat optimistic that hopefully it won't be anything severe.
