Man, these guys know how to make a political speech, don’t they?
This is really good. The Army will get rid of Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood (Obama’s pals), and when a new more secular gov’t comes to power, all those weapons Obama sold to Egypt, thinking they would go to Morsi and his regime, will end up in the hands of the more liberal factions who will better protect this weaponry from being used against Israel, or to facilitate Hamas and/or other terrorist groups. A win/win situation.
The Egyptian Army, with the exception of Morsi’s hand appointed flunkies at the top, has no love for Morsi and his henchmen. They will be delighted to take him down. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
On the one hand Rhetoric plays a crucial role for the Arab Muslim because it permits him (usually him and not her) to gain respect and save face at the same time.
RESPECT is more important than life itself for these people. For Israeli Jews for example, life is more important than ego. That's why they trade 2,500 Palestinian terrorists for one lone Israeli captive (Gilad Shalit).
In the Arab world, a man's word should be honored even though (according to the Koran) lying is permitted in order to gain some sort of advantage over someone else especially a non-Muslim.
Blustering rhetoric might be called “DAWIN” in Arabic which means, I think, giving a certain impression on what you mean or say but the contents of it might be empty. This might be used to trick someone into thinking one way when you mean another way...(deceiving).
A problem arises when you try to figure out and differentiate between real vs. perceived intent. That is why non-Muslims fall into the trap again and again because they believe that the other party (Muslim) actually means what he says and will honor a ceasefire or any other kind of agreement with you.
Hence Saddam Hussein signing a ceasefire with Bush but then continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire. Same case in the Israeli-Palestinain Oslo Accords. Promises signed by Arafart in a contract while he never intending to honor the terms.
Just look at how Arabic leaders address their home crowds.
It always has a yelling, shrill to it replete with tons of rhetoric.
Close your eyes wen listening to Hizbollah’s Nasrallah and you can imagine Hitler giving one of his speeches in the Reichstag.
They are identical in tone and intonation.
When they address a Western audience (like with a veiled CNN Chrstian Amampour), they speak like cultured, reposed statesmen.
They will tel you what you want to hear and when they return home, they will scream at their people that they really showed those Western scum who's the boss.
In short, one must understand why Morsi is now screaming to the Egyptian masses, that is what they are used to and if you can throw in a few “the Israeli Zionists are behind our troubles” then, all the better for these sheep.
Always listen carefully and try to differentiate between Rhetoric and Dawin, i that way, you will come to KNOW THY ENEMY well.
