'Egypt gov't sources: Shafik to be named president' (Muslim Brotherhood loses!!!)
Jerusalem Post ^ | 06/22/2012 | JPOST.COM STAFF, REUTERS

Posted on 06/23/2012 2:45:44 AM PDT by Dave346

Ahmed Shafik, who served as Egyptian prime minister under Hosni Mubarak, will be announced as the winner of the country's presidential runoff election on Sunday evening, Egpytian daily Al-Ahram reported Friday, citing government sources.

Al-Ahram quoted a source in the current Egyptian government as saying Shafik will be declared victor with 50.7 percent of the vote.

Both Shafik and rival candidate Mohamed Morsy of the Muslim Brotherhood have previously declared themselves the winner of the runoff election.

The results of the election were originally scheduled to be announced on Thursday, but the announcement was delayed as Egypt's electoral commission investigated charges of fraud lodged by both sides.

That worked out well didn’t it?

So much for scooping the election results.

Moderator needs to pull this thread off the headlines or better yet, put it right next to the one where the muzzies win.

Laz, it's about to become civil war. Think Bush versus Gore with armed gangs, suicide bombers and weaponry shipped in from all sides.

Well, frankly, I like the concept of an Egyptian civil war. The seculars have the military. That means they win. HOWEVER, should Morsi prevail, he is already saying, "Martyrs! March to Jeruselum! We are all Hamas now!".

So, civil war is better than World War Three.

This is an old thread from yesterday with, apparently, incorrect, earlier information.

Not necessarily. Not unless there is a concerted purge of the Muslim Brotherhood from the military. A more likely scenario is the military fragmenting into secular versus religious. That means Egypt turns into a warlord-based conflict with outsiders taking sides and shipping in arms.

Unless Egypt gets nukes -- quite impossible -- nobody is marching on Jerusalem unless they want to end up like the Fourth Crusade.

Isaiah 26:

20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.

21 See, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; the earth will conceal its slain no longer.

Obama will be trying to get the MB in power. Look for the US Obama to be threatening the military with the cut off of aid and equipment if the Islamists don't get their way.

The Liberal Messiah is not the same as the United States. That will be confirmed in November.

but our own President saw this coming and allowed it to happen...in fact, encouraged it to happen

Americans really are the biggest fools in history.

Our FIRST MUSLIM PRESIDENT's priority is setting up radical Islam for world takeover.

What do you think happened in Libya and WHY? Hussein is setting up Libya and Egypt for the next major war against Israel. Syria is also being set up to fall into the nutjobs hands.

Hussein is not working for us, he is working for them. Are you one of the non-thinking people who believes Hussein is on the wrong side of every issue because he's a radical leftist/incompetent fool?

Think about it, if you can. Hussein is on the wrong side of every issue because he is trying to damage the United States in every way he can before he is hung for treason. Apparently he doesn't have to worry about Americans figuring out who he is until the NY TIMES tells them he is a traitor.

Hussein is no fool and he is not incompetent. Like many Islamic Radical abettors, however, he has a strong marxist tilt and wants a command economy that he and his cohorts control to make it easier for some kind of bastardized islamic caliphate to come into being.

He has meant to bring the free market down for these reasons...and he does not intend to fix it. It is part of the "fundamental change."

Her is who I think he really is:

WHO REALLY IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?

And his actions in the so-called Arab Spring" are bringing about an ISlamic Caliophate as any one who can read a map can tell:


WHAT OBAMA'S ARAB SPRING HAS WROUGHT

Excellent graphic, Jeff.

The “king of the south” of the Biblical endtimes just came into focus.

Hope you are doing well.

Thank you my friend. And yes...they are playing into our Father's plan, and do not recognize it...but in the end, that will be the tale.

I am doing werll. I have pretty much plateaued in my condition and have learned to live with the resulting conditions and disabilities as graciously, and truthfully, as thankfully as I can. Once again, on the mirocosm, our Father';s plan works out for us and that is what is best. it is left for us to decide how to react to and live with it. In my case, I have made the detemination to repeat the words of a great prophet in the old testament..."The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

We are told that "all thnigs work together for the good of those that love the Lord," and I have fund thios to be oh so true. ALL things, not kust the pleasant things that we naturally like and aspire to...but also the difficult things if we will turn to Him and seek His counsel and abide His will.

Thanks for asking and God's speed and blessings to you and yours!

BZ.
