Guys i am having a good day so far, and you are ruining it for me. Can you fight another day please ?!!
Muslim Brotherhood's reign in Egypt will end within a week: ex-PM
Al Hassani, for you the world is only 1400 years old. So ofcourse in your mind there was no Egypt prior to the ****** Islam hehe. And believe me, Iranians want nothing to do with Taazis either except the motherf.ucker Mullahs. But Persians will soon wipe Islam out of Iran. Soon, very soon.
wishing all the best for Egyptians
hope economy can be better
Mohamed ElBaradei: Egypt is a failed state - Alarabiya.net English | Front Page
ElBaradei is right that Egypt is currently plagued by the 'same mode of thinking as in Mubarak's era'. But the dictatorial mentality and tactics exist primarily on his side of the political fence.
I voted for President Morsi, but I regret it.
I wish he'd implement the Islamic project - as he promised - and Sharia law, that's why we voted for him.
Once Morsi was in power, protests flared up against him. How can he work in that atmosphere? And to those who oppose him, I say: "Why don't you show us what you can do?" The Muslim Brothers visit poor areas and provide services. They sell food supplies at lower prices, but they don't bribe people like some claim.
Let the man do his job, then judge him. It's like tying someone's hands and legs, and throwing him in the Nile, then asking him to swim. The president is a man who fears God. All the destruction is carried out by the opposition who keeps on protesting. Would they have dared even walk around the presidential palace during Mubarak's time, let alone throw Molotov cocktails at it?
Morsi has invited the opposition for talks many times and they have refused. All the opposition has achieved is to divide people in two groups and made people fight against each other. We should let ballot boxes decide who's in power. I don't take part in any protests and will not let any of my children go. Why would I go somewhere where I might get hit by a bullet or a rock?
Morsi is the elected president. Even though I'm against the Brotherhood, I believe we should give him a chance for another three years till he finishes his term. We don't have to vote for him again afterwards. We can't just change the president every year.
We can't judge Morsi now. The country is full of problems and the opposition is not giving him time to do anything. One year ruling a country is not enough to judge him as a success or failure. He must stay for his four years first.
We can easily change him in four years. We will have at least set the basis for democracy. But if we protest every year, then we will never have a president for more than three months.
If Morsi left only one year after being elected, the Islamists would become the opposition to the coming president, and they're fiercer and more organised. [In this case], we would have killed democracy and let the streets be the judge.
What has changed over the year are freedoms. Anyone can say whatever they want without fear. I'm not intending to take part in any protests whether pro or against. It's a waste of time.
People should fight for freedom and rightsEgypt is in full fitna mode. Unlike Syria, things seem much more complicated. Muslims should stick to their houses as the Prophet SAW said.
The Egypt experiment is falling apart. The massive protests today, marking the first year of Islamist Mohamed Morsi’s rule, are pushing the country of more than 80 million to a crisis point with implications for the entire region. It has been a slow-motion disintegration from the begining, however.
US-backed liberal Egyptians took to Tahrir Square in 2011, trained by the State Department to mobilize masses through social media to overthrow Mubarak rule. Their success resulted in their being shunted aside in favor of the real power in Egypt, post-Mubarak: the Muslim Brotherhood and the military.
Since then, contrary to US government predictions, democracy and freedom has not broken out bringing with it economic prosperity and social harmony. History teaches us that revolutions are not as simplistic and binary (bad out, good in) as some would like us to believe. The Egyptian economy, dependent on tourism, has been in free-fall since the unrest, leading to deep layers of resentment in those who were told that overthrowing Mubarak would bring economic growth. Energy costs have soared and electricity is increasingly scarce.
Why did the US support both the position (Mubarak) and the opposition (April 6 Movement, Kifaya, etc.)? It is not as uncommon as it might seem. Aging and ailing Mubarak’s rule was coming to an end anyway, Egypt’s population was young and frustrated, and though the US did not necessarily wish to spoil its relationship with the Egyptian dictator it did seek maximum influence on the coming succession struggles. With half the population under age 35, US training of young Egyptians in the use of social media and the regime change techniques of CIA-asset Gene Sharp was a successful strategy to light the revolutionary fire.
Additionally, as Mubarak explains in an interview this month, he was proving an irritation to the US over his refusal to allow permanent US military installations in Egypt and his refusal to allow the US to “help” with establishing a communications network in Egypt.
Said Mubarak this month:
“[Late defense minister Abdelhalim] Abu Ghazleh came once to me and said the Americans requested to build a base here and I agreed. I told him: You have no authority to approve that and neither do I. You don’t own (Egypt) and neither do I.
“When I later met with the then-U.S. Secretary of Defense during an official visit to the U.S., he told me Abu Ghazleh approved establishing a military base. I told him the Egyptian constitution allows neither Abu Ghazleh nor me to approve that… They wanted bases at any expense.”
Mubarak also stated that the U.S. had attempted to assert control over Egypt’s communications systems.
“Then they wanted to establish an electronic network for the armed forces. This is of course so Israel and America monitor [the armed forces]. I told the defense minister to make them forget about it…”
Mubarak said that he was informed of the American plan by the armed forces and realized that such a plan, if carried out, would allow the U.S. to paralyze all communications in Egypt.
It is easy to dismiss this interview as the revisionist mutterings of a former US concubine tossed aside in favor of a more youthful prospect. But considering revelations about US/UK spying not just in far flung areas but even in the heart of Europe, suddenly such claims seem less far-fetched. And reports that the US military is deploying to Egypt suggest its new rulers may welcome a bit more foreign muscle to keep unrest from becoming too threatening.
Unrest is reaching a crisis point, though. Clerics are warning of a civil war. And the US is worried. In Africa, President Obama has expressed concernsover the increasing likelihood of major violence and has taken steps to protect the US Embassy in Cairo.
When Egypt falls apart completely, which is likely, the result will be even more chaos, economic collapse, and bloodshed. Blame will be apportioned to the rulers, the opposition, the military, the Mubarak-era decay, the economy. All have a role, to be sure. But what we will not see, particularly in the US mainstream media, is the blame that should be laid at the foot of a decades-long wrongheaded US foreign policy, which props up one corrupt regime, finances armies of regime-change specialist NGOs, switches sides, calls a revolution in the streets “democracy”, and looks on seemingly-puzzled at the dislocated and desperate society left in its wake. The role of US interventionism in the destruction will not be raised in the US media or by US politicians pretending to seek answers. Interventionism can never be blamed because…well…we meant well.
Egypt needs this guy to run the country. This guy is more thicker against the mut3atas then Mubarak ever was.
Keep quite Kazakh nomad and do us a a favor and return to your original habitat (The Central Asian Steppe) and leave the Middle East and its native people alone, rafida and son of mut'ah.
Bro, Kazakhs are not Iranics or Shia. They are Turkic Sunni Muslims. Most Turkic Central Asian nomadic population are Sunni Muslims.
The Ancient Iranian peoples emerged in parts of the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE.[39]
The Old Persians, who were one of these ethnic Iranian groups, were originally nomadic, pastoral people in the western Iranian plateau and by 850 BCE were calling themselves the Parsa and their constantly shifting territory Parsua for the most part localized around Persis (Pars), bounded on the west by Tigris river and on the south by the Persian Gulf.[41] The first known written record of the term Persian is from Assyrian inscriptions of the 9th century BCE, which mention both Parsuash and Parsua .[42][43] The Iranian Persians and Medes were initially dominated by the Assyrian Empire for much of the first three centuries after arriving in the region. However, the Medes and Persians played a major role in the downfall of Assyria, after it had been riven by internal civil war.[44]
