“The armed forces, and at the forefront of them the Republican Guard, will not be used as a tool to oppress the demonstrators,” said General Mohamed Zaki. So this was not an action against the Muslim Brotherhood regime. But whether the military will act against that regime and move to prevent the imposition of Sharia […]
White House downplays Islamic supremacist, pro-Sharia power grab in Egypt
What else can the Obama Administration do? It hailed the coming of “democracy” to Egypt; now it can only hope that few Americans notice that what is developing there is anything but democracy. Of course, the mainstream media will do its bit to make Obama look as good as possible and keep Americans clueless and […]
Egypt: Jihad group accuses anti-Morsi judges of “Zionist scheme to delay stability and destroy the state”
Of course. If there is trouble in a Muslim land, who else could be behind it but the Zionists? “Jihad organization accuses judges of implementing ‘Zionist’ scheme,” from Al-Masry Al-Youm, December 4: The Safety and Development Party, the political arm of the Islamic Jihad Organization, demanded that President Mohamed Morsy refer the judges who are […]
Robert Spencer: Morsi Flees, But Muslim Brotherhood Lives On
In FrontPage this morning I explain why Mohammed Morsi’s leaving Egypt’s presidential palace during demonstrations yesterday is unlikely to portend much for the future of his regime: Thousands of pro-freedom protesters surrounded the presidential palace in Cairo Tuesday. Reuters reported Tuesday that “officers fired teargas at up to 10,000 demonstrators,” and that Muslim Brotherhood President […]
Egypt: Morsi flees presidential palace as protests against Muslim Brotherhood regime turn violent
Free people in Egypt are not going quietly into Sharia. “Egypt’s Mursi leaves palace as police battle protesters,” by Yasmine Saleh and Marwa Awad for Reuters, December 4 (thanks to Pamela Geller): (Reuters) – Egyptian police battled thousands of protesters outside President Mohamed Mursi’s palace in Cairo on Tuesday, prompting the Islamist leader to leave […]
Egypt: Islamic supremacists ask churches to “protect Egypt” during anti-Morsi protests
They want the churches to make sure that Christian protesters don’t get out of hand today. Notice that they said nary a word when pious Muslims were ransacking churches and terrorizing Christians. But now there is a nascent Sharia regime to protect, and they want the Christians to fall into submissive line like good dhimmis. […]
Robert Spencer: Egypt and the Death of the “Arab Spring”
In FrontPage this morning I discuss Egypt’s new constitution and how it contrasts with the high hopes the mainstream media had for the “Arab Spring,” which was a fiction from the beginning: Nearly two years after the “Arab Spring” began in Egypt, the nation’s Muslim Brotherhood president has arrogated to himself dictatorial powers, and is […]
Egypt: Islamic supremacist protesters force court to halt session on constitution
Here is one way to ensure that the court will not overturn the provisions of the constitution that deny basic human rights and destroy any vestiges of democracy. AFP video.
Egypt’s draft constitution gives Sharia role to Islamic center Obama praised in 2009
Obama’s praise for al-Azhar is yet another manifestation of his consistent tendency to praise all things Islamic while turning a blind eye to the human rights abuses codified in Islamic law. He has made glancing mention of the persecution of the Copts in Egypt on occasion, but never challenged al-Azhar or the Morsi government to […]
Egypt: Muslim cleric says Jews use Internet porn to corrupt Muslims
“Soft power,” he calls it — kind of a projection of stealth jihad. Islamic supremacists constantly accuse those whom they hate of things that they themselves do — in this case, not using Internet porn to undermine the Infidels, but the general Muslim Brotherhood program of “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” “Egyptian Cleric […]
