Egypt what a mess!


One week of changes, all over the scene, Egypt is up side down. Unbelievable! I can’t imagine that people finally understood the mistakes they were doing and they are simply trying to repair it.  So what is next? Masr is burning out?  Facts
Let’s have a quick look on the media: CNN is totally freaking out, they are totally defending pro Mohammed  Morsi protesters; Mrosi? yes the ex Egyptian president,  who happened to be a member/marionette in the Muslim Brothers hands. Al-Jazeera Arabic as well, they are completely against the Egyptian opposition, right now, and they are not the only ones. Clarification: MB, "Muslim Brothers" are  acting.  It is ironic how they are manipulating the world. On the other hand, the media is defending people shouting in Arabic in the latest demonstrations “we die/kill for Islam”!  MB won’t hesitate to kill anyone, anytime to defend their own “extremism so called Islamism”.  They are ready to bomb a building to target a person who made caricatures about prophet Mohammed or about their “Allah”, or to kill a women and harass her because she is not veiled.  You know what is sarcastic? the last report I've watched on the CNN. the speaker was about to cry for the sake of these poor MB getting shot, while she is having a 3 colours short dress: red – white – black like the Egyptian flag to show her love to Egypt. I had the idea to offer her right away a lovely flight ticket! Destination: Egypt, to "Rabaa El-Adaweya place" where the MB are gathering and to see if she will have the same opinion afterwards! Seriously!
Let’s talk more about facts: What happened was not a coup. Why? A coups has to be done in 2 conditions.  To be a coup, the military has to take the initiative, and this is not the case, some 40 million went to streets to protest against Mohammed Morsi’s regime, the Muslim brotherhood regime, which according to them destroyed their country, from a political, economic, social and cultural point of view. So that was not the case, the military didn’t take the initiative. Second criteria, military was not grabbing power in this time, and is not grabbing power until this moment. Second criteria is not even a possibility, so not matching, conclusion: it is far from being a coup. What is happening then?  The military is trying to make the transition safer, to go somewhere, to achieve something. They are not the ones who asked for it, but helping to make order in the country, regarding the actual situation, that’s it. Don’t forget that police are not that important now, after what happened in the first revolution.
Ok! So what’s the point am trying to make here? I suggest a small feedback first.  Egyptians are not the same; there is no One Egyptian but several ones! They have different point of views, cultural levels and mentalities. That means you can’t talk about one Egyptian to define the rest of them.
What happened during 30 years of President Hosni Mubarak, shaped deeply the society and that is the source of everything now. The governance of Mubarak made the society divided into 3 categories: Rich, poor and middle class. Rich means good education in private schools with open minds & educated mentalities. Poor means integration and sticking to religion because there is no other thing to stick to. Public education is a misery, and unemployment is a fact. Middle class can choose, but mainly goes with educated people.
During Mubarak’s era, Muslim brothers were in prisons, not all of them, but mostly the decision makers, shifting in Egyptian prisons just as the opposition leaders at that time. During the first revolution, as the police was accused to kill protesters and follow Mubarak, everyone escaped, including thieves! Police lost power! And now, what is the situation? For the opposition, it is time to live liberally, they realised that it is impossible to choose between Islamic and tyrannic regime! This show can highlight the gap between the 2 teams! (in Arabic)!

 As for the Muslim brothers it is time for revenge.  Now,  as a number of extremists were living abroad, they have connections, they are well plugged now, if I can say, plus they have the support of Iran & Islamic countries in the Middle east. I remember that Mohammed Morsi, the ex Egyptian president made a visit to Saudi Arabia, to meet the ex Iranian president Ahmadinajad and they were like lovers. Isn’ it scary for the western society?  Or they just forgot that hugs mean diplomatic relations, and that Iran is causing a problem because of the nuclear weapons.
I still can’t believe that the western community are supporting the Muslim brothers. They are against terrorists, actually this is terrorism, when they show no tolerance in their speeches during demonstrations, and daily life, and claim that they will die to defend Islam, they could kill another Muslim because a different point of view, so why not a foreigner? Extremism has no limit.
Now the fact is, they are basing their arguments on :”we are defending democracy” they think protesters are squeezing democracy and removing a democratic elected president, they are claiming that this is not legal. Well invading Irak and killing his president wasn’t legal, and it was done by Americans and the entire world contributed and sent military to regulate the situation. Killing Osama ben laden in his own area has to be considered as well as a crime against the international law, and the entire world applauded the act including me. So don’t tell me a demonstration to make an extremist president to step down is not a necessary action like the ones they judged important in Irak or in Afghanistan or many others.
We are trying to make the difference between a country ruled by a dictator like Mubarak for 30 years, and another by an extremist like Morsi for one year. Egyptians have changed during this one year, specially after the first revolution. They are not following  blindly like before, they knew what they want. Moderated Muslims, are open, can live with other nationalities and religions with a total tolerance, and that is exactly what they are asking for it now. Egyptians are trying to forge their future, leave this happen, regulate your media; they are totally manipulated to transmit what is happening. The Muslim brothers are not being shot or hurt in streets while having a  walk, they are demonstrating, and protesting against a revolution! Where?  In front of the President’s palace, so who know if they shoot or not? who know if the army is not only reacting? That could be a defence. Another point: the MB are complaining to media all over the world, that military shoot them while praying! First,  that can’t be true, and if so, is the street a place to pray? Do western countries allow prayers on their territories? The answer is NO!
 On the other hand, the demonstrators against Mohammed Morsi on the  30th of June  2013, have  expressed their point of view in a legitimacy and honour. They asked for a change, and they got it! Come one, the gay marriage has been approved by a demonstration in France.
Last point, extremism is very dangerous, There is a big difference between "Islam" & "Islamism", they are totally 2 different terms! So, am sorry to say: don’t be frightened, because it is the moment to make them know their limits, you have the support of Moderated Muslims. There is no moderated Islamists, like no moderated extremism!  It is simple, don’t manipulate your media for their own sake. Egypt is not an Islamic country. far from being one!
We hope that was clear for everyone. We are not becoming like Iran!  If America wants to convert, they are free to do it, now it is our freedom to choose a free liberal regime, with real democratic elections. We can’t wait 4 years, to watch Morsi destroying such a big country, then to say: “Oups Morsi did it again!”
It is time to think about women! If you ask Morsi about women’s rights, He will answer:”they are equal to men, in the frame of the Islamic Chariaa”; what does it mean Sir? To wear the black integral veil "Nikab", which America and Europe banned in their own country!
 And women’s role in the society Mr. Morsi? After a long senseless speech about freedom, we can resume:  they have a huge role to educate kids, cook, clean, and satisfy their husband. And if you send him a female journalist to interview him, he might ask her to do a virginity test before, if she was not harassed already by his fellows in the streets.
