"I have serious doubts that any country with a large Muslim population can ever exist under anything other some form of despotism. The basis for liberty is just not there."

Agreed, however, Egypt is a strange step-child of Islam. They have been somewhat more successful than the ME Muslim countries and it appears through this latest coup, they still want to be. They are losing their tourism base, and many are seeing it with Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood. I believe most Egyptians do not want strict Islamists to rule. They have had a long taste of western economics through tourism and are losing their livelihoods.

Of course, Obama and Hillary were as usual on the wrong side. My prediction: The military coup installs a moderate Islamist or even a secular government that will bring Egypt back into the modern world.

I agree with you...

Morsi was a puppet like the Ptolemy pharaohs.

All those billions in IMF loans proved it to them.

I don't know what to say about "live thread". There is still the one with all the picture mostly that folks are posting to. I started this one for sharing of actual info about events as they unfolded. It did not seem to go much of anywhere.

This is not true...I heard the minister of interior’s press conference.

The MB attacked the police that was far away from Rabaa and opened fire on the police!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3039526/posts?page=1531#1531

The communist Islamist guardian chose the big lie, the sensational headlines to serve their agenda! They also wrote:

“The minister for the interior said that only 21 people were killed and none by the security forces. He also warned that the Muslim Brotherhood protesters would be cleared from the streets when the time was right.”

So, which is it commies?

Mommy, if the only people being killed are MBers, then that is controlled, not chaos...not all hell breaking loose...

Just positive change.
