Is civil war in Egypt averted? 90% yes for new Constitution.

Most Egyptians will vote for Sisi if he runs.

All the other candidates have very little or no popular support so they would have to negotiate with the MB.

Sisi will not negotiate with the terrorist brothers and Egyptians know that and that’s part of reason they will back him 100% IF he runs.

Rep. Rohrabacher:

“Totally on board with Sisi’s program” and says “Morsi undermined democracy with desire for radical caliphate and lied to the people”
Rep. Sanchez:

“It’s truly amazing when a military sides with the people and says enough! let’s try this democracy thing again… The next government will be elected by the “real people” of Egypt”

This is exactly what Egypt would have looked like if the Egyptian army had not listened to the people and Tamarod calling for ouster of Morsi. The Morsi that Obama and EU support!
Gouta Islamic State in what WAS Arab worlds most cultured secular country Syria.

Egypt for one is not tribal.
Egyptians are nationalists.
Egypt’s army is historically famous going right back to bible.
Egypt was not constructed and given borders and monarchs by foreign powers.
Every Egyptian has watched the USA and what it has been doing for a very long time in our region.
Every Egyptian has had to deal with repercussions of US support for Israel on our border for 60 years and it’s hypocrisy and vetos and bias.
Egyptians love their army.
Egyptians are very peaceful people, we do not interfere in other countries business, BUT when we are pushed then you see what you saw on 25th January 2011.
Egyptians brand of Islam is very moderate, moderated by Al Azhar which has a more Sufi peaceful nature and is not radical like Wahabism or Shia.

You know, you’ve been making quite a lot of nasty remarks about Israel in this threat, Marmite Lover, especially considering the fact that my country is the biggest supporter of General Sissi’s regime in, like, the world.

and what makes you think that Egypt is different?

Egyptians love their army because the army is the people, our sons, our uncles and fathers. It doesn’t matter who is the musheer although currently Sisi has a massive following and a LOT of them WOMEN! :smiley:

He is liked because he is quiet and a moderate Muslim and this is one thing that is said about him over and over here, and he is an honest man and his family are well known as humble people. In Egypt the ‘family’ background matters a lot. He has massive respect in Egypt because of his character, his manners.

So who was it that elected Morsi, then, if not the “real people” of Egypt?

What I believe you are being told is that the vast majority of Morsi supporters are themselves not extremists but certainly believe that their religion must or should be a strong part of the governing law of the land.

The trick is having Islam related to national governance but have a real democracy where non-belief or moderate to secular views are protected. When Morsi got elected he began it appeared to many that democracy that protected secularism was not Morsi’s true agenda. Real democracy was in peril under Morsi, It was proper Sisi to take Morsi’s regime down.

Do you consider that Obama as president of the United States of America at the time that Morsi was elected must officially support the democratically elected government and say so publicly?

And secondary to that can you accept that the US government through the Department’s of Stare and Defense can quietly and in private support the leadership of the Egyptian military because it is more in line with US policy in the region?

And thirdly there is the politics of Egypt and the US where a fine line must be walked by the US government that won’t be seen by Egyptians as interfering in the new workings of democracy within Egypt? In other words the US should not publicly support the secularists and the military for fear if giving raw meat to anti democracy extremists who would label men of good family character such as Sisi to be a US puppet.

Even Israel allies are making lots of nasty remarks about it now. They woke up too.

IF the world knew what it does today do you think for a second they would support the creation of the aparthied terrorist state of Israel? Israeli baby was born out of terrorism. It should never have been born.

Morsi was elected by people who had to choose between Shafik and him or by the millions who got oil and rice in exchange for their vote.

  1. To be honest the reality now is very few Egyptians actually care a damn about what the USA thinks.

  2. What is the US policy in the region?

  3. Egypt and Egyptians are not the same as before. The US has been turned on it’s head and has no clue what do do. For once we are in control and it will not be easy for Egyptians to ever again think that the people are not in control. We will have demanded 3 presidents in 3 years. Americans can only dream of being able to do that. Democracy. The people decide.

Test Balloon

Al Hayat reporting that Sisi will resign in days and run for president due to massive popular support.

To be confirmed by the Military council.

Is a “real democracy” what they have now, where the military removes the president from power, then the president’s party and those similar to them (e.g., Strong Egypt) are suppressed from organizing and campaigning?

“Real democracy” is in peril all right, but not only, or even primarily, from Morsi.

And those aren’t the “real people” of Egypt?

Western Media Promotes Anti-Democrat Agenda with Egypt Coverage

more here on how Western Media have been manipulating what it happening

**
The image that the Western media is disseminating on the Egyptian military is completely unfounded and could not be farther from the truth.

I have witnessed first-hand the love and admiration that the Egyptian people have for their military. There is a special bond between the people and the military here in Egypt; it is a very unique relationship.**

What “due process” accompanied Morsi’s removal, again?

Here are some of the comments taken from my interviews with Egyptian voters this week to get a sense of the mood:

Dr. Noha Bakr, college professor

“Due to the high turn out on the constitution referendum, it took me three hours to be able to cast my vote. I was very happy to stand and witness how everyone was standing full of hope and confidence in the future. Everyone around made me feel we are moving forward to a better Egypt, unlike the 2012 constitution referendum where many felt it was institutionalizing an Islamic Empire on the Expense of our Egyptian Identity”

Samira Habashy, 42 yrs old

“One million yeses, Sisi is our President from now. Next 15th January we are going to be happy as the results of today. With our spirit and our life we are going to say yes for Sisi.”

Khaled Khalil, 50 yrs old

“Today means the interpretation of 30 June. I read the Constitution and made sure to read it and I agree 95% with it…the future is not easy, we still have challenges…people must understand there are differences between the U.S., Europe and Egypt in democracy. We have to take step by step to build our democracy.”

Essam Moustafa Mahran, 43 yrs old

“This is the first step in the road map for Egypt. The Egyptian nation has chosen a new life with most of the Christian and Muslim community with unity…If General Sisi will go for the President election, I will have the honor to be the first one to give my voice for his vote.”

Tahany Ahmed Mohamed 69 yr old lady, former lawyer

“Very happy, a happy day. We destroyed terrorism and the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama is not good, we love Americans, but we are against the Obama Administration. The Egyptian American relations forever.”

Nagwa Hassain, 75 yr old lady

“This is considered no less than the biggest festival of occasions in the Islamic religion, such as the sacrifice of feast or Ifthar feast…Obama is supporting the Muslim Brotherhood since day one. I thought and believed Obama was the symbol of democracy, but after what he has done, I am very disappointed and can’t rely on him anymore”.

Safinaz Abd Almageed, 76yr old lady

“I love Egypt. The future will be good…America, I am sorry to say, that it is against terrorism but She [America] helped terrorism in Egypt, and for that, all Arabs do not love the American Administration. They never do what they have promised or said, but we love the American people.”

Manwa Yehia, mother 38 yrs old

“It is a big day for all the Egyptian people. Voting for our country and the future of our children. I need a good future for my son…I don’t know why Obama is supporting terrorism and why he wants to destroy Egypt…Do you, the American people, support your President and his regime? We know the American people are kind people. We here are certain that the American people don’t approve of what Obama is doing”.

Merna Nadra, 21 yrs old

“Egypt will be in safe hands. We love the military and we trust them. They stand with the Egyptians and they protect Egypt. We were in danger with the Muslim Brotherhood…America should understand the Egyptian people and their desire to be free. I invite the American people to come to Egypt and see we are not a terrorist state. The Muslim Brotherhood are the terrorists.”

With the constitutional referendum overwhelmingly passed – with millions more voting than during the Islamist referendum in December 2012 - the interim government will now proceed with presidential and parliamentary elections. As the third anniversary of the January 25th Revolution approaches, all Egyptians need to work to put the past behind them and embrace the future ahead without consideration of the scorn of Western governments and media. As was true for our own War for Independence and subsequent history, the process is not perfect. But I saw this week that many Egyptians are trying their best, and as longtime allies, and as a democracy with our own shortcomings, we should support them in their aspirations to become a more free and more secure country.

Whatever. Just as long as you guys keep the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas out of power, you can say what you want. Everyone here was *very *happy to see Morsi go.
