The Destruction of the So-Called Peaceful Demonstration

President Morsi was removed from office July 3, 2013, as a result of more than 32 million Egyptian people calling for his resignation, as well as a petition with 22 million signatures, due to his incompetency and abuse of power. Since then, the Muslim Brotherhood and other supporters have failed to accept this and called on their supporters to protest and demand the return of Dr. Morsi to his position.

From day one and during the weeks following Morsi’s removal, his supporters were not peaceful at all. More than a dozen murders were committed in Raba al Adawiyah and Nahda Squares. In addition to massive public and private property destruction, the Egyptian government announced publicly that the repairs that started in Raba al-Adawiyah would cost 85 million Egyptian pounds, el Orman garden 50 million Egyptian pounds and al Nahda square would cost 258 million pounds. Furthermore, government assessment of the destruction caused by the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters in all Egyptian governates was estimated at more than 500 million Egyptian pounds

The Egyptian government should confiscate and freeze Muslim Brotherhood wealth and let them pay for the cost of the destruction they committed.

Obama – the Nobel Peace Prize!

President Barack Obama, the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize because of his opposition to the invasion of Iraq, is reversing his political role. He is now acting as an advocate for punishing President Bashar al-Assad of Syria for using poisonous chemical gas against his people.

The use of such weapons, regardless of who uses them, should be condemned by the whole world.

The irony of American politics and the tactics used by its politicians, especially its presidents, is that a link is always made between international issues and American national interest or national security. This is the rationale George W. Bush used to mislead the American public to justify his invasion of Iraq in 2003. Bush was a liar from the beginning and his policy did not accomplish anything except the destruction of Iraq.

It seems to me that President Obama is acting in a similar fashion regarding his policy towards Syria. The Syrian issue should be left to the U.N. General Assembly to deal with, not the U.N. Security Council. The five permanent members have abused their veto power and have paralyzed the Security Council.

The U.S. government should stop playing policeman of the world under the pretext of U.S. national security or national interest. This is an outdated colonialist concept and people around the globe are now more aware of the truth and cannot be easily mislead. The majority of people in the U.S, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy are against U.S. interference in Syrian national affairs, according to the press.

President Obama, you are not a peace advocate and you don’t deserve the Nobel Prize for it.

What Is Happening in Egypt Now?

In an interview with Mr. W. al-Ibrashi (Dream Channel) two years ago, Dr. M. Badie, the supreme leader (al-Murshid) of the Muslim Brotherhood stated publicly that he is totally against any Muslim Brotherhood members and even other Islamic groups running for political office, because he thinks it will be dangerous for Egypt.

Al-Murshid’s prophecy turned out to be true. The puzzling question that needs to be answered is why Dr. Badie permitted his members to run for the parliament, the Magliss al-Shura and the presidential office?

Since its creation in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood’s main objective and political strategy was to take over the Egyptian government regardless of the cost. Their violent political activities during the past eight decades reflects their intentions and strategy.

The January 25, 2011 revolution opened the door for them, despite the fact that they were not the ones who initiated the massive protests. To put it simply, they have stolen the revolution from the younger Egyptian generation who sacrificed their blood for its success.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s success in assuming political control was facilitated by General Tantawi, defense minister and chief of the Egyptian military forces. Furthermore, the United States government signaled General Tantawi to facilitate the Muslim Brotherhood’s takeover of the Egyptian government. This is attributed to a secret agreement that started during 2003 with the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood to implement the American political demand when they assume political control of the Egyptian government.

The U.S. foreign policy regarding the Middle East is reflected as “the map of the greater Middle East region.” It’s main objective is the protection of Israel and maintaining its economic and military dominance of the region.

For that reason and others, the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood from the Egyptian government reflects the kiss of death for the U.S. Middle East strategy. Furthermore, the termination of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political influence in Egypt will also negatively impact other Islamic organizations in the region. For that reason, the Turkish government—which is headed by an Islamic organization—is panicking and asking the U.N. Security Council to interfere and stop the removal of Morsi from his position.

Nevertheless, the Muslim Brotherhood protest movement, which has been going on since the removal of Morsi from power on July 3, 2013, reflects their kiss of death. The violent terrorist activities they have been conducting against the Egyptian people, as well as their economic, social and political institutions, reflects their failed political strategy. This is revealed in the following evidence:

1.     The Ministry of Health reported the deaths of more than 578 people and the injuries of more than 4,201 others as of August 17, 2013. Among the dead, 57 security men and 553 other police injuries. More than 1,500 terrorist suspects carrying weapons were arrested.

2.     The burning of more than 21 churches all over Egypt.

3.     The burning of government buildings such as the Ministry of Treasury and an attempt on the Central Bank. More than 25 police and security buildings were attacked and burned, in addition to other private property that was also destroyed.

4.     Blocking traffic routes and preventing people from reaching their workplaces or returning to their homes.

5.     Pouring used car oil on intersections and bridges, causing drivers to lose control of their cars, leading to death and destruction.

6.     The security forces presented photos and videos of snipers on top of buildings and bridges, shooting at homes and passersby.

7.     The supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood firing RBJ missiles at security places. It was reported that more than 1,200 suspects were armed with weapons. Some of those terrorists who were arrested by Egyptian security revealed that they are foreign citizens from Afghanistan Palestine and Syria. They were recruited by the Muslim Brotherhood to help in the destruction of Egypt.

Such types of terrorist activities were and still are part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political strategy. The irony of history reflects the double standards the west follows. For the last few decades, western governments (especially the U.S.) have been condemning Islamic terrorism. Now, they are taking the opposite stand by ignoring the Muslim Brotherhood’s terrorism against their own people and criticizing the Egyptian army for their supposed military coup, despite the fact that there was no military coup. The Egyptian army stepped in after more than 32 million Egyptians protested on June 30, 2013, demanding the removal of Morsi from office. The army responded to prevent a civil war from taking place in Egypt. In addition to the Egyptian protestors demands, the Tamaroud Movement submitted petitions with 22 million signatures demanding the removal of Morsi from office due to violations of Egyptian law.

Such large numbers are almost twice the numbers of votes Morsi received during his election on June 30, 2012.

The western governments (especially the U.S.) should stop interfering in Egypt’s national affairs. A recent PEW survey revealed that ¾ of the American respondents rejected the U.S. government’s interference in Egypt’s national

The Egyptian People's Second Revolution

-->

The June 30 revolution in Egypt reflected the gathering of more than 32 million people who gathered in more than 19 public squares all over Egypt.

The purpose behind such a popular mass protest was to call on President Morsi to resign. However, by the third day, the Egyptian army responded to the demands of people and forced President Morsi to leave his position.

The interesting response in western mass media and in particular the U.S. is that an army coup took place in Egypt, leading to Morsi’s removal. This political conclusion did not come as a surprise. The U.S. government has been pursuing the wrong foreign policy, especially in the Middle East in general and the Arab world in particular since the end of World War II.

It was the U.S. who supported the Muslim Brotherhood, stealing the January 25, 2011, revolution and excluding the young Egyptians from implementing their objectives (bread, freedom, and social justice).

Lobbyists and interest groups have shaped the U.S. foreign policy, which is in conflict with American national interest.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a violent terrorist organization operating under a religious umbrella to hide their political strategy. History reflects that they have assassinated two Egyptian prime ministers and a president, as well as have attempted to assassinate Presidents Nasser and Mubarak.

Despite their violent history, the Egyptian public gave them a chance by electing Morsi as a president with less than 20% of the eligible votes.

Since he assumed office, President Morsi totally ignored all the promises he made prior to his election. Instead, he violated the constitution and began a process of Islamization of all governmental institutions instead of focusing on the deteriorating economy, the increasing unemployment and poverty, the shortages of energy and the increasing cost of living. In the mean time, the American ambassador Anne Patterson was communicating on a regular basis with the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood, especially K. Al-Shater and M. Badie and defending their policy.

For all of these reasons and others, the Egyptian people revolted against Morsi and his criminal Muslim Brotherhood gangs and pressured the Egyptian army to remove him from office.

Let me emphasize that what happened in Egypt was a people’s revolt and not a military coup.

Let the American government proceed with their wrong policy and hope they stop their foreign aid to Egypt. Egypt can do without it and at least they will regain their dignity, which is more important than U.S. aid to the majority of the Egyptian population.

The Egyptian Second Revolution of June 30, 2013

The massive protest movement of June 30, 2013 has been taking place in more than 19 public squares in cities all over Egypt, where people in the millions are calling on President Morsi to resign.

All these massive protests reflect the second stage of the stalled revolution of January 25, 2011. The Muslim Brotherhood were not the ones who started the revolution, but they ended up stealing it and ignoring its objectives, which were “Aish, freedom and social justice”.

From the beginning, the Muslim Brotherhood through their political arm “The Justice and Freedom Party” began to implement their secret political strategy, which was to take full control of governmental institutions.

Furthermore, they have excluded all secular political groups and even the young Egyptian groups from their political strategy. The political policy that was pursued by the dismissed parliament before it was dissolved, as well as by the lower House and President Morsi, was pursued to directly to benefit them and not society at large.

It has been reported that more than 13,000 member of the Muslim Brotherhood were appointed to important government positions. Even the majority of the governors appointed by Morsi in the 27 governates were affiliated with their group.

Also, members of the Muslim Brotherhood were appointed to head several important ministries, such as the Information and Communications, Culture and Arts (Al-Thakafah), Energy and Food, Interior, and Education ministries.

Such political actions reflect the strategy and priority of President Morsi’s objectives, instead of giving priority to the deteriorating national economy, the increasing unemployment and poverty, the absence of national security and safety, the increase in the cost of living and the shortages of energy.

In addition to that, Egypt as an important and leading Arab state has been humiliated by terrorist organizations in Sinai More than 23 members of the armed forces and the police have been killed and no arrests have been made. In addition to the number of security forces who have been kidnapped, the list of such negative acts under President Morsi’s rule reveals that he is an incompetent person to rule and needs to be removed.

The situation that has been going on for the last two years, as well as the protests (which have been ignored by Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood), led finally to the rise of the Tamarud (“rebellious”) movement. The Tamarud movement led by Mohamed Bader and his young Egyptian groups to initiate a petition campaign to remove President Morsi from office. They have set June 30, 3013, as the date for the second stage of the unfinished Egyptian revolution of January 25, 2011.

By June 29, 2013, the Tamarud movement petition has collected 25 million signatures calling on President Morsi to resign. This figure is nearly more than twice the number of people who voted for him a year ago (2012).

The movement also coordinated with other groups, including the National Saluation Front, to start a national protest movement to force Morsi to resign and to form a national transitional government to prepare for a national election within six months.

It should also be noted that the Egyptian society is being sharply polarized between two major political groups. Those who support Morsi (one-third of the total population) claim that he was elected freely and should not resign. They accuse the opposition (who constitute more than two-third of the population) of being secular atheists and nonbelievers in Islam (“kafarah”).

The opposition group rests on the rationale that Morsi did not implement a single promise he made before his election. During the past year since his election (June 30, 2012), he did not do anything to save the country economically, socially or even in the areas of stability and safety.

In his latest speech to the Egyptian public (June 2013), President Morsi admitted that mistakes have been committed—even in the constitution—that need to be corrected. Such public statements came too late. Morsi and his superiors in the Muslim Brotherhood—who are the influential force behind all the blunders that have been committed during the past two years—are unfit to rule.

It is time for Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood to move out and open the door for others to assume the political responsibility and save Egypt from collapsing.

The irony of history is reflected in a statement that has been made by al-Murshid of the Muslim Brotherhood Mr. Badee in an interview with Mr. W. al-Ibrashi (Dream channel) two years ago. The interview was repeated on the same channel on June 28, 2013, during which al-Murshid stated publicly that he is totally against any Muslim Brotherhood member and even other Islamic groups running for political office, because he thinks it will be dangerous for Egypt.

Al-Murshid’s prophecy turned out to be true. Their political policy led to the largest protest movement in the history of Egypt. P

The Failed President

The recent kidnapping of 17 Egyptian soldiers in Sinai by terrorist Islamic criminals was an act of insult to the Egyptian government, the army and society at large. The kidnappers are demanding the release of 24 criminals who are in an Egyptian jail for crimes that they have committed.

The kidnapping of soldiers or civilians should be taken seriously and no negotiations should take place with those thugs that kidnapped them. This terrorist act was the third one within a year. The first was the kidnapping of four police officers in al-Arish, No information has been made available about the fates of those officers.

The second terrorist act was the killing of 17 Egyptian soldiers in cold blood. The killing also took place in al-Arish. The killers were not identified.

Such terrorist acts should have not been dismissed. This encourages others to act in a similar way due to the absence of security, no only in Sinai, but also all over Egypt.

The army should go after the kidnappers regardless of the cost. The young people who continue to protest, demanding the resignation of President Morsi, have a legitimate rationale. President Morsi has failed to perform his duties politically, economically, administratively and socially. The sooner he leaves office, the better Egypt will be.
