The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi has been declared the winner of Egypt's presidential election run-off.

He won 51.73% of the vote, beating former PM Ahmed Shafiq, the Higher Presidential Election Commission said.

The head of the panel of judges, Farouq Sultan, said it had upheld some of the 466 complaints by the candidates, but that the election result still stood.

I’m sure Obama is celebrating with a reading from the koran and a halal breakfast. His plan is on schedule.

Obama is on course to create the Greater Caliphate and prepare for the destruction of Israel and a frontal Islamic assault on the West.

Very strange. Even the democrat blogs are frightened by the results. You'd think they'd be celebrating with their brothers. They have no idea who's behind this "Muslim spring." They think their extreme left wing had nothing to do with it?

Well said. This election reminds me of the election in Germany back in 1932.

Arab Spring didn't turn it quite the way the Left had hoped, did it?

Can we stop sending Egypt $1.5 billion each year in foreign aid now?

Well, The Obamanation's Hope & Change wins... another one!

And when the New Muslim Brotherhood run Egypt reputes the peace treaty with Israel and gets ready for a new war, me thinks... better than 60 percents of American Jews will still support Obama.

Yep, you cannot... make this stuff up!

“One man, one vote, one time.”

Yes. No more women voting but probably the last real election any way.

Interesting times, indeed.

Similar to how Iran went under Carter. We can only “hope for the change” that Obama will be a one term president too.

From the looks of it, they have the same thing planned for Libya and Syria.

True, but they weren't exactly radical islamist states, either. It's looking like we're about to have 3 more in the regiion, thanks to Obama's meddling.

This is going to be really bad for the Coptic Christians and uncovered women. For the Christians as a group, it is time to get out if there is any possible way.
