From Politico on November 28, 2012 (hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance):
Morsi praises ObamaNo doubt.
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, currently under fire at home and abroad for decreeing his actions exempt from judicial review, had high praise on Wednesday [November 28, 2012] for President Obama, whose administration has raised concerns about Morsi's declarations but stopped short of condemning them.
"President Obama has been very helpful, very helpful," Morsi told Time Magazine. "And I can say really that his deeds coincide with his intentions."...
Do take time to read Time Magazine's exclusive interview of "Pharaoh" Mohamed Morsi. Quite revealing! A new world order is bearing down on that region of world — and elsewhere, too.
Meanwhile in Egypt: Islamic supremacists pushing to legalize female genital mutilation
Hard to make much of Morsi's statement, since Obama has received the same sentiments from leaders in Israel.
ReplyDeleteNot only that but Ethiopian Jews in Israel practice female circumcision.
ReplyDeleteKeep reading the foreign news to know what is going down in the world. Hardly any reporting on the uprising against Morsi.
ReplyDeleteSo, how long before Morsi receives his Nobel peace Prize?
ReplyDeleteMorsi says Obama has been very helpful, no kidding. Without Obama's help Morsi would not be in power.

No, Silverfiddle, the point is that the act is cultural rather than religious.
ReplyDeleteThat is hardly an irrelevant observation in any context that wants an non bigoted discussion.
Hardly any reporting on the uprising against Morsi.

What planet are you on?
Duck,
ReplyDeleteIt appeared that there was an attempted uprising against Morsi. The uprising appears to have now fizzled.
As for coverage of the anti-Morsi demonstrations, I saw coverage on the web and on some cable channels. But on television, now the source of the news for so many Americans, I did not notice much coverage on any of the the Big Three.
It does seem to me that most Americans really don't care what's happening over in the Middle East. That was the case before 9/11; then we had a period of time during which a lot of Americans followed what was going on in the Middle East.
It is a fact that most Americans just don't follow world news most of the time. **sigh**
Also, as compared to all the yapping about the fiscal cliff, Hardly any reporting on the uprising against Morsi, as Bunkerville said in a comment above.
ReplyDeleteAbout the draft of the constitution in Egypt:
ReplyDelete...The draft largely reflects the conservative vision of the Islamists, with articles that rights activists, liberals and Christians fear will lead to restrictions on the rights of women and minorities and civil liberties in general.
Omissions of certain articles, such as bans on slavery or promises to adhere to international rights treaties, were equally worrying to critics of the new draft, who pulled out from the panel before the vote.
Here are some of the disputed articles....

Arab Spring? Pfffft. Egypt is turning into an Islamic theocracy.

ReplyDeleteAct 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
Act 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Act 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
