Why can’t I quote an Egyptian revolutionary and writer who has engaged in the struggle for human rights, democracy and freedom in the Arab world in order to display her opinion from a revolutionaries’ point of view?

I have not lived her struggle and I as an observer of her revolution I’m saying it does not matter what we observers call the end of Morsi’s term as president of Egypt. It matters what the participants themselves wish to call it.

I wonder if this is Human Action’s idea of me being proven wrong about something and accept the verdicts of unreasonable forum members that I’m wrong.
