OBAMA CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, but Egyptian Protesters Demand Ouster of Morsi
On October 14, 1981,
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated after nearly 30 years as the
country’s third president. Vice President Hosni Mubarak was sworn in as
the fourth president.
Mubarak ruled Egypt
with a strong iron hand, and many considered him to be more of a dictator than
a president.
He was charged with a
number of human rights violations.
In 2010, the movement to oust Mubarak gained strength both within Egypt
and from the international community. President Obama committed billions
of dollars and military aid to the Egyptian rebels, much like he is about to do
in Syria.
With the help of the US,
Mubarak was forced out of office on February
11, 2011.
Obama just had to meddle in Egyptian affairs. He decided
Hosni Mubarak had to go. A flawed leader, to be sure, but a dependable ally to
the United States and Israel who did a good job of reigning in extremist
elements in his country. In the middle east, there are never truly “good”
options. Sometimes there are less terrible ones.
Pushing Mubarak out created a power vacuum.
In the mid east, those are always filled
immediately by Islamic extremists and this time was no different.
The Egyptian people, nowhere near prepared to govern themselves, elected the
Muslim Brotherhood by way of Mohamed Morsi. It only took a short time for the extreme Islamic group known as the Muslim
Brotherhood to take control of Egypt.
The Muslim Brotherhood was so radical and dangerous that even Mubarak outlawed
them from being active in Egyptian politics. But Obama proved his loyalty
to his Muslim faith by fully supporting the radical takeover of Egypt
by the Muslim Brotherhood. He has continued to provide them with billions
of dollars in money and military aid, even though they publicly state that the US
is an enemy that must be battled.
The Egyptian presidency was claimed by Mohamed Morsi after a year of
political wrestling between the Muslim Brotherhood and other political factions
in the country. Within months of assuming official position as the fifth
president of Egypt
on June 30, 2012, Morsi
announced his desires to establish an Islamic Caliphate with himself as the
supreme leader.
Morsi has established himself as more of a dictator than his predecessor and
is guilty of more human rights violations than his predecessor.
Morsi has launched a war on the country’s
Coptic Christians that once made up 10% of the total population.
He enacted laws that force everyone in Egypt
to convert to Islam, pay a very heavy tax for not being a Muslim or leave the
country. Yet, his troops and police continually attack Christians in
their homes, on the streets and in their churches. Churches are being
burned down as are some of their homes. Christians are being beaten,
tortured, raped, burned and killed.
Obama helped oust Mubarak because of human rights violations, but in only a
year, Morsi has proven far worse than Mubarak ever was. Yet, against the
will of Congress and many Americans, President Barack Hussein Obama continues
to support Morsi and his dictatorship.
In case you haven’t noticed, there is a very clear pattern here.
Everything the Obama administration does in
the Middle East always benefits the Muslim Brotherhood.
Don’t forget, he gave them millions of our
dollars plus a bunch of F-16 fighter jets.
Here
are today’s headlines from Egypt:
The streets of Egypt have been convulsed with truly gigantic protests against
the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohammed Morsi. These demonstrations are
far larger than those which ousted previous dictator Hosni Mubarak. There has
been violence, with several deaths reported. A battle erupted as protesters
stormed and firebombed the Cairo offices of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The
Morsi regime is looking shaky, with a reported
ten ministers resigning to
demonstrate solidarity with the protesters. The Egyptian military has indicated
it plans to step in and restore order within 48 hours. The demonstrators gave
Morsi one day to resign. Morsi has taken to referring to the protesters as
"enemies of Egypt."
