[snip] Egyptian Chief of Staff Sedki Sobhi announced the military would prevent the regime from violently dispersing the protesters. "The Egyptian army will be in the streets" if there are millions of people to protect, he was quoted as saying. Egypt’s military has warned the Muslim Brotherhood not to allow armed security personnel to get involved in the demonstrations or try to disperse them, the source said, because "the army will violently intervene."

[snip] My research on global domestic violence in 2011 revealed that 67% of urban women and 30% of rural women in Egypt faced domestic violence in 2002 and 2003. Another survey showed that 80% of rural Egyptian women said their husbands beat them frequently and believed a man has the right to hit a woman. [/snip]

“Another survey showed that 80% of rural Egyptian women said their husbands beat them frequently and believed a man has the right to hit a woman.”

Given that probably 80% of Gyppo females are genitally mutilated, mere beatings pale into insignificance.

ISLAM DELENDA EST - because of what Islam is and Muslims do.

Ya rite. Just like in Iran, the majority support the radical regime. And just like in Iran, the current administration will hang the secularists out to dry.

Is that correct?

[arthurus]

The military is heard from again. Some sanity just might be injected here, not democracy and in a relative sense but sanity, nevertheless.

[bert]

Morsi rules at the pleasure of the military and the money even though elected by the lower classes

[Olog-hai]

Yes; that is correct. That is but one reason why the much-publicized urban uprisings went nowhere.

[Olog-hai]

Don’t count on it.

Gosh, and we’ve been told by so many that Muslims want to live under Sharia Law. Could it be they are wrong?

Egypt is now a whole country run like the movie: One flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest.

AFAIK since 1979, no Islamist regime has ever voluntarily stepped down. Three - Al Qaeda in Mali, Nawaz Sharif in Pakistan, and the Taliban - have been forcibly overthrown. Erdogan in Turkey has purged a lot of his potential threats, and Morsi has followed that model too.

So my advice to Egypt is not to wait up for Morsi, or Morsi-ism, to leave.

[Valin]

Egypt is a country smack dab in the middle of a revolution, and has been since the Arab Spring. We’ll see how it turns out.

[SunkenCiv]

I’ll go way out on a limb and say, Egypt will be torn apart by civil war (again), probably after the next purge.
