Will be interesting to see what happens in Egypt now that MB candidate has lost after prematurely claiming victory earlier in the week!

[Cementjungle]

Ahmed Shafik, who served as Egyptian prime minister under Hosni Mubarak

The Occupy Cairo folks aren't going to like that.

[Errant]

Isaiah 19:2 “And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother and every one against his neighbor, city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.”

[Carriage Hill]

Civil war coming soon?

“Egypt’s military rulers dismissed complaints from protesters on Friday that it was entrenching its rule and blamed the Muslim Brotherhood’s Morsy for stirring up emotions that drew thousands onto Cairo’s Tahrir Square.

The Islamist candidate shot back that the generals were defying the democratic will of the people and said protests would go on. But he stopped short of repeating a claim to have won last weekend’s election, urging simply a rapid announcement of the result, and praised the army as “patriotic”.”

[Olog-hai]

Brinksmanship. The military helped the Brotherhood for all this time; there’s some politicking going on behind the scenes.

[Truth29]

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

[tflabo]

Revenge of Mubarak. The Muzzie Bros will be agitating in short order.

This quote I read this week summed it up best:

What does the Muslim Brotherhood have to benefit by claiming victory now, if it might be proven otherwise three days from now, on June 21, when the results will be officially announced? Simple: they will be able to scream foul play—and gain the world’s sympathy. For days the world will have been inundated with news that the Brotherhood won; when and if it hears that Shafiq won, it will naturally conclude that there has been electoral fraud — as serves the Islamists’ interests.

Knowing the Brotherhood’s deceptive tactics—”War is deceit” as their prophet said—there is good reason to think that they may have planned a propaganda victory well before the elections. They could claim victory, won fair and square; they could have their Islamist and Western media supporters trumpet it; they could embed it in everyone’s mind for over three days before the results were formally announced— all to set the playing field to their advantage. If Shafiq wins, everyone—from militant Islamists in Egypt to a grandstanding US Secretary of State—will shout, “foul play!”, thereby exonerating the long promised civil war Egypt’s Islamists vowed to wage if the election did not go their way. So much for democracy. The rebellion they have threatened to stage would then be portrayed in the West as the result of a of a “grievance.”

[AU72]

Has Jimmuh Carter blessed the election results yet?

[Gay State Conservative]

Stand by for violence on an almost unimagined scale.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Say hello to the new boss...

[Tzfat]

1,400 years of Islam creates a culture that is incompatible with democracy.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

Ah, but what would the "eeeeevil," "dangerous," "NON-CHRISTIAN" Romney do if he were President?

I'm sure the few HATE-ROMNEY and MORMONS Freeps will be happy to let us know it would make no difference, cuz they is "peas in a pod" so we might just as well ALL stay home come Nov.

RIGHT?

OBAMA WELCOMES BROTHERHOOD RUN FOR EGYPTIAN PRESIDENCY

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/04/03/obama-welcomes-brotherhood-run-for-egyptian-presidency/

The Muslim Brotherhood swore up and down that it wouldn’t seek the Egyptian presidency as proof of its desire for a pluralistic society. At the last minute, the Brotherhood nominated Khairat el-Shater. According to the New York Times, State Department officials actually look at this as a good thing that could stop the more puritanical Salafists from winning.

“State Department officials said they were untroubled and even optimistic about the Brotherhood’s reversal of its pledge not to seek the presidency,” the Times reports. Shater has had extensive contact with U.S. officials and has convinced them that he’s not to be feared. Apparently, these U.S. officials have forgotten about (or never were informed of) the Muslim Brotherhood’s ideology and history.

In November, a Brotherhood spokesman stated without equivocation, “The Sharia, the Muslim legal framework, must be the foundation for everything.” On November 24, senior Brotherhood leaders publicly preached violent jihad, and the International Union of Muslim Scholars, a Brotherhood entity, declared that it is time to “revive the duty of jihad in all its forms.” One top leader, Mohamad Katatni, predicts that the revolution in Egypt would lead to the elimination of the state of Israel.

Director of National Intelligence James CRAPPER Clapper said in January that “Al-Qaeda probably will find it difficult to compete for local support with groups like the Muslim Brotherhood” and that “non-violent, pro-democracy demonstrations challenge Al-Qaeda’s violent jihadist ideology and might yield increased political power for secular or moderate Islamist parties.”

zer0 backed the MB. pawns lining up. Counting six ongoing chess games. Willing to say six ongoing chess games is low balled.

Egypt's military just told zer0, he can Keep the Change? yep .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUWnl7UADYU

I’m sure Buttcrack Hussein is drafting a we’ll-get-them-next-time speech for them right now.

[DoughtyOne]

Wow, didn’t see this coming. This should be interesting.

[hitchwolf]

I doubt highly the Muslim Brotherhood lost. The Egyptian millitary hates them and does not want them.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Have to give the Egyptian military their props for not letting the MB take over.
