Morsi Muddles Along

Mohamed Morsi spent years in the United States and certainly learned something about a free election-he left before arrival of the idiotic Tea Party folks. Secretary of State John Kerry made clear to the Egyptian leader of the importance to work with all political parties and seek to form a coalition. Kerry made clear there would not be the  necessary International Monetary Fund loan nor would there be an American loan if he did not seek to end partisan conflict and work with a broad based coalition. Of course, Mohamed Morsi is a dedicated member of the Muslim Brotherhood and has pledged to work for his party’s goals regardless if in so doing he aids peace in Egypt.

There can not be a compromise with Morsi that does not include creation of a  broad-based coalition government. Anything less will only result in chaos and conflict within Egypt. An MB government is the road to violence.

Goodbye Morsi

There is no question that President Mohamed Morsi ranks among the greatest disappointments in the history of modern Egypt. He arrived in power with the power to restore peace and prosperity but instead selected the road of discord and religious hatred. Instead of organizing a government which included representatives from among all religions and political viewpoints, Morsi opted for the road of sectarian hate by placing all power in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. However, recent news suggests Egyptians may soon be relieved of this man.

A contest sponsored by the deodorant maker, Axe, awards a prize which enables the winner to be sent to the moon by the Space Expedition Corporation. Guess who is winning the contest? President Morsi now leads all contestants and if he wins, which he will, then Morsi can visit the Moon and propagate his Muslim hatred. So long Morsi, see you tonight when the Moon glows!

Muslims Hate The West

Hardly a day goes by without someone ranting about Muslims and their hatred of the West. The assumption is that those of the Muslim faith have an unrelenting hatred of anything connected to Western societies. During the past few weeks, thousands of Mali people danced in the streets when they discovered French troops had driven out Islamist fanatics. The people of Mali wanted WESTERN troops to free them from MUSLIM TYRANNY. Turkey seeks entry into the European Union so it can secure a taste of Western life including adhering to Western human rights. In the streets of Cairo and Tunis and Damascus, Muslims are fighing Muslims, NOT THE WEST!

Each year about 200,000 students from Asian, African and Middle Eastern nations come to the US or England in search of education. They want Western ideas, they live as Westerners and many think like them. Thousands of these students remain in the US or England or France because this is the life they seek.

Enough with the Muslim hate of the West.

Tunisian Tales

The famous “Arab Spring” has finally come the cycle of change and new change. It  began in Tunisia when frustrated and angry young people rebelled against their long time dictator who had allowed the economy to stagnate. Although the revolt included those of secular feeling and moderate Muslims, power was soon gained by Islamists who wanted to enhance the influence of religion into the daily lives of people. Under Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali of the Ennahda party, a shift in direction soon emerged which allowed Salafist Muslims to brow beat and intimidate secular forces.

A few days ago thugs murdered secular leader Chokri Belaid and new demonstrations filled the streets. Jibali attempted to form a coalition government but was over-ruled by his own party. The result is confusion, anger, and violence. Such has been the course of the famous Arab Spring.

Tough Days For Iranian Leader

This week will not rank among the top days  of life for President Ahmadinejad of Iran. A few days ago in his parliament the president engaged in a  shouting match with an Iranian leader who  hates his guts and both shouted and threatened one another in front of the entire body. Ahmadinejad stormed out when it was clear that parliament was going to impeach one of his Cabinet friends. So, the president decided to head for Egypt and chat with President Morsi, a man who also has many enemies in his own land.

As they walked, a refugee from Syria threw his shoe at the Iranian leader, but missed and hit a guard. It was clear the Syrian was furious at aid  provided President Bashar al-Assad by the Iranian government.

I wonder if Ahmadinejad has considered visiting Jerusalem. At least he will know before leaving that someone will throw a shoe in his direction!

Morsi Ignores Female Issues

There was great expectation when Mohamed Morsi became president of Egypt that years spent in the United States of America would have made him sensitive to the rights of women. Instead of displaying attitudes a person who has spent his life with those of diverse backgrounds and sex, Mr. Morsi stands revealed as a small village type of Muslim filled with the bias and prejudice that all too many Egyptian men display towards women. Amensty International blasted Morsi for attitudes and actions that violate the rights of women.

“Horrific, violent attacks on women including rape in the vicinity of Tahrir Square demonstrate that it’s now crucial that President Morsi takes drastic steps to end this culture of  impunity and gender-based discrimination, and for all political leaders to speak out,”said Hassibas Hadj Sahraoui of the organization. Women are being assaulted regardless if they wear or do not a wear Islamic headscarf.  Mohamed Morsi is simply a bigoted man whose social attitudes towards women reflect his 15th century mentality.

Egypt On My Mind

Egypt lay dormant for decades under the rule of incompetent President Hosni Mubarak since his dictatorial regime clamped down on any and all opposition.  In a sense, Egypt slept while other nations in the world zoomed ahead with their economies. Mubarak is gone only to be replaced by President Mohamed Morsi, he of the Muslim economics. It would be one thing if Morsi actually had any economic ideas that would stimulate his nation’s economy, but he has plunged the country into chaos. A video which depicted a 50 year old man lying on the ground  being beaten has aroused fury in the country.

Sixty people are dead as a result of the latest outbursts against Morsi. The man who claims to seek democracy has done absolutely nothing to reform Egypt’s police or to end brutality against innocent people. I have a hunch  that some Egyptians these days feel nostaligia for the good old days under Mubarak.

Morsi Must Move On!

Egypt. Land Of Sorrow

The people of Egypt continue suffering from violence, poverty and a corrupt government.  OH, this  time the ineffective government is led by the Muslim Brotherhood which for decades claimed President  Mubarak had to be removed from office in order to create a stable life for Egyptians. A TV camera caught the sight of a 50 year old man being dragged naked through the streets of Cairo by 8 policemen who were beating the hell out of him. Hamada Saber was then forced to go on television praising the men who assaulted him because it took 8 men hitting him to protect him from violence. The police of Egypt have not changed although the government has changed.

Yesterday, a woman was gang raped in Tahrir Square, just as at least 25 others have been subject to such violence. It is time to end the corrupt, incompetent government of  Mohamed Morsi. He must rank as  the younger brother of Hosni Mubarak!

Morsi Mangles Freedom In Egypt

Thousands of people are marching through the streets of Port Said in Egypt, thousands are shouting for freedom in Cairo and other areas of the nation, but President Mohamed Morsi insists he is an innocent man simply seeking to make people understand the importance of practicing a good Muslim way of life in order to ensure peace and prosperity to one and all. Port Said demonstrators are furious at death sentences imposed on those allegedly guilty of causing deaths at a soccer match. Many inhabitants believe President Morsi wants to impose his religious beliefs and is willing to sacrifice the people of Port Said for his own political purposes. They are convinced last year’s riots were the work of police and local inhabitants now must pay the price for murders caused by Cairo  based police.

Reality is failure on the part of  Morsi to create a national coalition government has resulted in fear and anger against the arbitrary rule of the Muslim Brotherhood. They are furious at the new MB Constitution which gives power to clerics and threatens the rights of Coptic Christians who are 10% of the population. As a local merchant put it, “Morsi is the responsible one. The Egyptian people voted for him and he came on television thanking  police who killed us!”

Morsi Meets Merkel

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is visiting Germany in search of money, and the prospect of securing what he desires depends on how well the man who spouts hate can tone down the rhetoric and spout common sense. Riots rack Egyptian cities, the army is upset, large sections of the nation are furious at Morsi’s imposition of Muslim belief and the economy, sort of has collapsed. Egypt needs money, gobs of it. Merkel was prepared to provide considerable marks to Morsi,  but recent events have cooled German interest. Merkel wants changes and they had better begin yesterday. What does she want:

1. A coalition government that includes secular leaders.

2. An end to empowering Muslims and allowing them to even consider sharia law.

3. An apology to Israel for his vicious anti-semitic comments.

4.  Election observers at the  next election.

She intends NOT to forgive debts until he begins to behave as president of All Egyptians.
