I’m shocked!
Whenever there is a policy decision for Obama, just consider WWMD? (What Would Morsi Do?). Obama has been both a public and private supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, from Egypy to Benghazi to Syria to???
If tearing down the pyramids is what it would take to wake up the world, I hope they tear down the pyramids.
There will be a terrible reckoning with these people.
You know, the Muslim Brotherhood has nothing to do with the Iranian model, has nothing to do with extremism ... The Muslim Brotherhood is a religiously conservative group. They are a minority in Egypt. They are not a majority of the Egyptian people, but they have a lot of credibility because all the other liberal parties have been smothered for 30 years. They are in favor of a federalist state. They are in favor of a wording on the base of constitution that has red lines that every Egyptian has the same rights, same obligation, that the state in no way will be a state based on religion. And I have been reaching out to them. We need to include them. …Never mind the blatant lies about the MB not being related to the “Iranian model” when Khomeini and others associated with him came straight out of the MB.
He (Morsi) grabbed full power for himself. Not even the pharaohs had so much authority, to say nothing of his predecessor Hosni Mubarak. This is a catastrophe—it a mockery of the revolution that brought him to power and an act that leads one to fear the worst. …Yeah right. You knew this was going to happen, ElBaradei, and you helped it along. Deliberately.
We have to look at it in the context of almost two years of transition. We have no functioning parliament and months ago Morsi assumed legislative functions. Now he's decided that there should be no opposition to the laws that he makes and that he is authorized to pass any national security measure. It is difficult to be more absolutist than that. And the constitutional convention—what a sad gathering; it threatens to send us back to the darkest period of the Middle Ages. …
I remember how “inspired” the admin was regarding the takeover.
Eerie similarities between the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt and the Bolsheviks taking over Russia. Before the Bolsheviks overthrew the Kerensky government, even Lenin was quoted as saying that Russia was the freest country in the world. That freedom ended very quickly as soon as the Bolsheviks took over. It looks like the MB contains the same evil, totalitarian bacillus as the Bolshies.
