He is gutsy, I'll give him that. How long until they just shoot him, like Anwar Sadat?
How long until they just shoot him, like Anwar Sadat? I'm sure there are plenty of radical Muzzies and neo-cons who fervently would like to see that happen. Hopefully, his security is top-notch and he will be able to continue his campaign to bring sensibility and tolerance to that part of the world. His recent speech to Muslim Imans telling them that they needed to shape up was an eye-opener, too.
Very brave. As was the French PM who finally said "France is at war with radical Islam". If only our own Dark Messiah (or that idiot Bush) had the same courage.
Was Sisi elected or selected by the military? Good find so far. I hated to watch Egypt go down in flames with the Muslim broz.
Selected. Morsi was elected. He was planning a slide to more of a sharia state. The people and the military wouldn't have it. Many, perhaps a majority, reject that sharia path. Egypt is more sophisticated and independent than the other Arab countries and has a large Christian minority.
Many, perhaps a majority, reject that sharia path. Egypt is more sophisticated and independent than the other Arab countries and has a large Christian minority. TC's summary is correct. To expand some more upon it, after Mubarak was deposed, the Muslim Brotherhood was indeed elected to power. They had been Mubarak's main opposition, and so portrayed themselves as victims as well as trying to convince Egypt's Muslims that they were their spokesmen. For background, the Muslim Brotherhood was one of the organizations which preceeded Al Qaeda. It would be fair to describe them as a political arm of Al Qaeda. So once Morsi (Muslim Brotherhood candidate) was elected to lead Egypt, he began to do a lot of things that ordinary Egyptians objected to. -- He began a campaign of genocide against the Copts, Egypt's fairly large Christian minority. Christian Churches were bombed, clergy and lay leaders were killed in broad daylight. Christian girls were kidnapped, and then it would be announced that they had "converted" to Islam and "married" a Muslim. -- He began to institute Sharia law. This included overthrowing Egypt's existing Constitution. -- He began to threaten to attack Israel, and had been aiding terrorists in crossing over from Egypt into Israel. Egypt's military was alarmed. They wanted no war with Israel, they wanted only to protect Egypt. Ordinary Egyptians took to the streets in protest against the Muslim Brotherhood. These were reportedly the largest political protests in the history of mankind thus far, with literally millions of people in the streets demanding the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood. General Sisi of Egypt's military announced that Morsi had been deposed, and most of the Muslim brotherhood leadership was arrested. Sisi has since led Egypt. Both McCain and Obama demanded that the terrorist Morsi be reinstated. Here is how the Egyptian people reacted when the army stepped in and threw out the terrorists.
Great laydown.
Tough Sisi. Even his name is maskirovka.
LOL.
