Egypt names key constitution panel with few Islamists

(Reuters) - Egypt's army-backed government unveiled a constituent assembly on Sunday almost devoid of Islamists, and gave it 60 days to review amendments that would erase Islamic articles brought in by the Muslim Brotherhood and more hardline Islamic parties. [snip]

The proposed amendments would remove Islamic articles - hotly disputed by secularists - that include one that gave Muslim scholars a say over some affairs of state, and also lift a ban on some Mubarak-era officials assuming public office.

Drawn up by a 10-member "committee of experts" appointed by decree, the draft preserves the privileged status of the military, which it effectively shields from civilian oversight.

Although Islamists won five popular votes held since 2011, the constituent assembly will have only two Islamists among its 50 members. One belongs to the hardline Salafi Nour party, the other is a former Brotherhood leader now harshly critical of the group he left last year.

While the assembly includes the founders of the Tamarud petition campaign that galvanized support for protests that led to Mursi's downfall, there is no obvious place for the pro-democracy youth movements that ignited the 2011 revolt against Mubarak.

There are also places for Muslim scholars, representatives of the church, the arts, unions, members of secular parties and prominent figures such former Arab League chief Amr Moussa and renowned heart surgeon Magdi Yacoub. [snip]

The presidency said six Islamist parties, including the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, had been approached to fill the two seats set aside for Islamists. Only Nour had responded.

Islamism is a political agenda to destroy Egypt and their society....would Germany integrate Nazism into their politics?

But Middle Easterns ‘think differently’ about what Democracy is than the West....Still... Even giving just two seats to the MBS is dangerous....all you have to do is look at the UN. Russia and China are their own tag team..and it’s worked to their advantage thus far.

Syria said basically the same thing...of course Iran and Syria operate together so nothing new there.

However...let's not forget Israel said they would level ‘Damascus’ if they attack her....and I have no doubt that will happen with Obama playing his hand so miserably.

Meanwhile as Bo plays tit for tat.... China and Russia continue headstrong with the Saudi’s and other Arab nations...on Huge trade deals...and opening satellite companies throughout the ME.....not to mention opening establishing oil companies in Iraq.

While Bo is distracted playing at war......Russia and China are scooping up the resources and business the US , and Europe, has had in the ME.

And BTW....sending all the Jihadists to Syria keeps the Jihadists from threatening the Saudi and wealthy Arab nations....while they continue to do business with Russia and China.

So...it's working very well for China and Russia...keeping the Jihadists occupied in Syria...and distracting Obama by getting him bogged down in WAR Zones.

In the end the US and Europe will be under the strong arm of Russia and or China....and they will form an alliance with the Islamists to do their dirty work...as we see happened in Egypt and Syria.

This says it all. No wonder, it’s NOT publicized or at least I didn’t hear of it here. Got it in my email.

Bachman, Gohmert and S. king speeches in Egypt. To stay away from the Arabic introduction and comments, start at 0.25 (the beginning, almost) to 16 min. Note that the reference to “the explosion” when they were their, means the assassination attempt on the Egyptian Interior Minister (top cop).

FYI:

Revealed: The Obama FBI’s Illicit Partnership with CAIR

This latest development in the CAIR saga comes after a senior Muslim Brotherhood official who is also a member of the Clinton family’s political network was arrested in Egypt in an ongoing roundup of seditious Islamist militants. Charged with inciting violence, Gehad el-Haddad worked for the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation from mid-2007 to mid-2012.

Gehad, incidentally, is the Egyptian version of the Arabic word Jihad.

The tipping point occurred when Egyptian General al-Sisi refused to take vacaying Obaba's call from MV. It affirmed Gen al-Sisi's determination not to let Obaba interferre with his plan to drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyption politics. Superpowers Russia and China both backed al-Sisi and the Saudis jet-streamed al-Sisi millions to finish the job.

The Egyptian military has vowed to rebuild the 63 churches torched by the marauding Egyptian Muslims. Al Sisi's got the lay of the land---they know who's got the ear of our Muslim president.

=============================================

Stupid Ochacha doesn't have a clue. Gen al-Sisi's unrelenting defense of Christians has turned the world upside down. Gen al-Sisi is igniting worldwide disapproval of the MB---world leaders are vocally defending Christians. (1) Russian Pres Putin vocally decried Christian slaughter by Muzzies. (China also backed al-Sisi. (3) The Saudis jet-streamed millions to al-Sisi to continue the Muslim disemboweling.

THE SYRIAN/EGYPTIAN CONNECTION Syrian rebels---who are Sunni Muslim jihadists---attacked the Syrian Christian village of Maaloula; one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the East was also being sabotaged. BBC NEWS later reported that Assad's Syrian Army was ordered to take back the Christian town from Islamist rebels.

============================================

That twit Obama is on the wrong side again ....ordering the CIA to arm Syrian Muzzie rebels so they can kill more Christians.

A key Muslim goal is the destruction of Western Civilization.....and Christianity.

REFERENCE At the Hay Literary festival in Wales, author and PBS historian, Niall Ferguson, spent much of his time dissing Obama's speech delivered in Cairo in 2009......describing it as "touchy feely nonsense"...

Ferguson has sent out warnings about Obama's failure to come to terms with what Ferguson sees as the potential rise of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt and the possible "restoration of the caliphate and the strict application of Sharia"........themes at the heart of this new book "Civilization: The West and the Rest"...............

Ferguson's standpoint is that Western dominance has been a progressive civilizing force.....his new book reinforces these arguments postulating that there were six killer "apps" which propelled the West to a position of predominance.

These were competition, science, property, modern science, consumption and work ethic, each with a dedicated chapter in the book.

Ferguson contrasts how China was the world's most advanced civilization in the 15th century but stagnated and was overtaken by Dutch mercantilism and the rise of capitalism employing the six "skills".

In his books, and on his compelling PBS series "Civilization," Ferguson lists "morality" as a strategic strength of Western Civilization. He points out the successful Chinese business city Wenzou also has 1,400 churches.

==============================================

NOTE Not coincidentally, it was China that joined Russia in decrying The Muslim Brotherhood's attack on Egyptian Christian's churches, homes and businesses.

Egyptian Gen al-Sisi is doing the job Holder/Obama won't do. Read on.

Muslim Brotherhood Official, Former Clinton Foundation Employee Arrested A senior Muslim Brotherhood official who, until recently, had been employed by the William J. Clinton Foundation was arrested in Cairo on Tuesday and charged with inciting violence.

Gehad el-Haddad served as one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top communications officials until Egyptian security forces seized him as part of a wider crackdown on officials loyal to ousted former President Mohamed Morsi. Before emerging as a top Brotherhood official and adviser to Morsi, el-Haddad served for five years as a top official at the Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit group founded by former President Bill Clinton.(Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...

CAN YOU SAY MONEY LAUNDERING---FINANCING TERRORISM---TAX EVASION?

10 SECOND QUIZ: How many ways can the conniving Clintons use their name to launder money?

ANSWER

<><> The William J. Clinton Family Foundation......

<><> the Clinton Global Health Initiative......

<><> the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).

=================================================

REFERENCE The IRS has pinpointed tax-exempt "foundations and charities" as the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The BIGGEST tax-exempt fraud --- a tax-exempt foundation writing checks to a tax-exempt charity (the way crooks look "altruistic" as they siphon off tax-free money for personal uses).

Liz' post #4

[Liz: Note correction Kredo made to his article posted at bottom. I changed in your post]

El-Haddad served as the Clinton Foundation’s city director from August 2007 to August 2012, according to his LinkedIn profile. Just a month after El-Haddad left the Clinton Foundation to work full-time for the Brotherhood, former President Morsi was invited to deliver his first major speech at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the high profile political family’s other nonprofit.

El-Haddad’s employment at the Clinton Foundation overlapped with his official work for the Muslim Brotherhood, which began in Cairo in February 2012 when he assumed control of the Renaissance Project, a Brotherhood-backed economic recovery program.

El-Haddad officially became a senior adviser for foreign affairs in Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party in May 2011, when he was still claiming to be employed by the Clinton Foundation.El-Haddad was quoted in the Guardian newspaper in March 2012 as “one of the Brotherhood’s senior advisers.” USA Today referred to him as “a senior adviser to the Muslim Brotherhood” in May 2012.

El-Haddad was “charged with developing a long-term economic recovery program,” known as the Renaissance Project, during his time as senior adviser. Egyptian media reported in July 2012 that the program was actually meant to bring the country more in line with the Muslim Brotherhoods extremist religious ideals. “Renaissance is far more than the electoral program of President Mohamed Morsi or the Brotherhood’s political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party,” the Egypt Independent reported at the time. “It is a 25-year project to reform state, business and civil society, rooted in the Brotherhood’s Islamic values but conditioned by the experiences of the project’s founders in the modern economy.”

Haddad told the Independent that he applied the knowledge he learned at the Clinton Foundation to his work at the Renaissance Project. “The Clinton Climate Initiative taught Haddad about managing an NGO and the role that civil society takes between the state and private sector, lessons he is applying to the Renaissance Project,” the report states.

El-Haddad represented the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Climate Initiative in Egypt during his overlapping tenure, according to his LinkedIn profile. He additionally “setup the foundation’s office in Egypt and managed official registration,” “supervised policy-making workshops & presented foundations views,” and “presented projects to high-level government officials,” among many other duties.

El-Haddad left the Clinton Foundation in August 2012, two months after Morsi assumed the Egyptian presidency. He was appointed a “senior adviser and media spokesman” to the Muslim Brotherhood in January 2013 and served in that role until his arrest. El-Haddad regularly defended the Brotherhood’s authoritarian crackdown on civil society, even running damage control in December 2012 when Morsi supporters attacked women and children.

When widespread Democratic protests broke out on June 30, El-Haddad referred to the demonstrators as violent thugs in an interview with the Free Beacon. “The anti-Morsi camp are providing a political endorsement to the violence,” he said at the time. “Some have resorted to violence because they didn’t do well at the ballot box.”

El-Haddad did not respond to an email request for comment sent shortly after reports emerged of his arrest. The Clinton Foundation did not respond to multiple requests for comment on El-Haddad’s employment and arrest.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that El-Haddad’s work for the Renaissance Project began in February 2011. His work actually began in February 2012.

Egypt bans Muslim Brotherhood group

CAIRO (AP) -- An Egyptian court has banned the Muslim Brotherhood group and ordered its assets confiscated in a dramatic escalation of a crackdown by the military-backed government against supporters of the ousted Islamist president Mohammed Morsi.

Egypt state TV said the court issued its ruling on Monday.

A blast from the near past!

Well, I was looking for one of those infamous first pictures of the nomadic Morsi regime. This is one of the official pictures after the official new "government" picture where they were sitting on the chairs behind them. I'll try to find it.

Many of the bastards you see, including Morsi, are under arrest and going to trial for high treason and inciting violence and murder charges on November 4.

Here the nomads are eating on the floor of one of the palaces they took over. No cutlery and I betcha never washed their filthy hands after they, er... never mind!

Here's the caption:

"Le Morsi à table..

"A table" is of course a manner of speaking!"

Ping to the usual suspects! This could be another Egypt vs. 0b0z0 new crisis.

Kerry visited Egypt . I thought he would go there before Morsi's and 14 MB cronies trial to try to influence their release or calling for leniency. An effort that was doomed to failure. I saw him photographed with Sisi who doesn't normally talk to Kerry or American politicians. Rather, he talks to some American generals who knew him from his days in the USA. Rarely, Sisi accepts a call from 0b0z0's man; Hagel. Accepting to meet with Kerry and allow it to be publicized is very unusual for Sisi.

I was reading an Egyptian online paper and something clicked! This is only my speculation and it could fit. Kerry could be interceding instead of sending American generals to Egypt or some lesbians from our embassy in Cairo, to avoid a little military crisis involving one of our latest weapons; an Avenger, aka, Predator "C" drone that was electronically taken over and was landed in Egypt.

The article says that the plane was flying over Libya and violated Egyptian airspace. [thanks a lot 0b0z0 for cutting us off from the Egyptian airspace that was open to American flights!]
