CAIRO - Egypt on Tuesday urged U.S. authorities to exercise restraint in dealing with racially charged demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri - echoing language Washington used to caution Egypt as it cracked down on Islamist protesters last year.
U.S. foes Iran and Syria also lambasted the United States, but while they are frequent critics of Washington, it is unusual for Egypt to criticize such a major donor. It was not immediately clear why Egypt would issue such a statement.
Ties between Washington and Cairo were strained after Egyptian security forces killed hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters following the army's ousting of freely elected President Mohamed Mursi in July 2013.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry's statement on the unrest in Ferguson read similarly to one issued by U.S. President Barack Obama's administration in July 2013, when the White House "urged security forces to exercise maximum restraint and caution" in dealing with demonstrations by Mursi supporters.
The ministry added it was "closely following the escalation of protests" in Ferguson, unleashed by the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white policeman on Aug. 9.

Egypt. How far we have fallen as a nation since our fundamental transformation.
What a burn on Obama.
They have to be poking at Barack. What dog would Egypt have in this fight?
I love it.
Phuk-EGYPT!
LOL! Kinda. We are always telling them how to behave. Now there slappin’ the lyin’king around in kind.
Funny how Islamists have injected themselves in this, isn’t it?
Barack has been the big meddler here, without any clear principle except maybe to back the more rabid of two Islamic factions.
so which is the kettle and which is the pot?

Well, the agitators have certainly worked their magic.
Vlad Pupin’ will be referencing this unrest for the next twenty years.
That is one thing which has been strikingly lacking from Ferguson. It is home grown nagger chaos.
This is a diplomatic “swirly” for Emperor Jones Obama.
Well, one thing Obama did tell the truth about.
C H A N G E
Why, because they are kicking the asses of the Islamo-Fascists that Obama wanted to install there?
Behead and stone!
Well the Communists are there (have been from the beginning) and are in bed with the Islamists.
If they wanted to march in the street screaming Islamic power this would be the perfect opportunity. But no such thing seems to be visible.
AND “fundamental transformation”.
