Live Thread: Egypt Revolution 2.0
Various sources | Wednesday, July 3, 2013 | Kristinn

Posted on 07/03/2013 5:56:34 AM PDT by kristinn

The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.

A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:

Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were “unacceptable.”

The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: “We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”

In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the country’s problems.

So the strategy for a successful Peoples’ Revolution is:
1. Huge outpouring and showing of citizen anger at the regime.
2. Military steps forward in response to citizen revolution.
3. Military shuts down regime's news outlets.
4. Military arrests tyrant and bans all travel for his facilitators.
5. Military announces the lifting of legitimacy and command control of President.
6. Appointment of Special Prosecutor by Supremes to commence criminal action against tyrants.

Below are Excerpts of Obama’s Cairo Speech where he sides with the Muslims. At the end of this posting are his comments complementary of Christianity and what he plans to do to help persecuted Christians.

June, 2009

…a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum…

…tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims...

…America and Islam are not exclusive...

…As the Holy Koran tells us, “Be conscious of God and speak always the truth…

…my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims…

… As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk…

…As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith…

… As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam…

…throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality…

… Islam has always been a part of America's story…

… since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States…

… I have known Islam on three continents…

… That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam…

… my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam…

… the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it…

…Islam is a part of America…

…Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism – it is an important part of promoting peace…

…we plan to invest $1.5 billion each year over the next five years to partner with Pakistanis…

…we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help Afghans…

…So let there be no doubt: the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable…

…For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation…

…The Palestinian Authority must develop its capacity…

…Hamas does have support among some Palestinians…

…The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements…

…It is time for these settlements to stop…

…Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance…

…I am committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat…

…Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education…

…we will match promising Muslim students with internships in America…

…we will create a new corps of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim-majority countries…

…we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas…

Finally, as promised, here are Obama’s comments in the same speech complementary of Christianity and what he plans to do to help persecuted Christians:

(None)

19:50 More on the US: AFP reports that US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke to Egyptian defence minister and head of the armed forces, Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, yesterday. AFP says that: "Pentagon press secretary George Little is refusing to release any details about the content of the calls. He says U.S. officials at various levels of government have been very clear that America remains committed to the democratic process in Egypt and hopes the tensions there can be resolved peacefully." The US State Department press conference is still ongoing. Spokesperson Jen Psaki says that the US is "on the side of the Egyptian people" and that Morsi should call for an end to violence. what? Morsi should call for an end to violence? What violence? Doesn't state know Morsi is now out of the loop per se?
