Anti-Muslim Brotherhood Protests in Egypt: Largest Political Event in World History
breitbart ^ | 6/30/13 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 06/30/2013 7:08:41 PM PDT by Nachum

The demonstrations that began Sunday in Cairo, Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Mohamed Morsi have attracted "millions" of supporters and many counter-demonstrators as well, making the protest the largest political event in the history of the world, according to the BBC. The protests in Tahrir Square and throughout Egypt exceed those that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in 2011 in the key event of the Arab Spring. Two years later, after constitutional reforms and elections that saw Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood move to aggrandize their power, the public backlash is immense.

You are a true idiot.

Worse, probably a liar who *knows* that the MB plants fake stories with fake witnesses...and you conveniently use those fake stories to your own ill ends.

You disgust me.

You are trash.

Eastern Turkey was the key to Erdogan’s electoral victories — one current problem for him is that a chunk of that support is Alawite, and they all turned on him when he dumped Assad. The entire Turkish protest movement arose due to the Syrian civil war, and it is going to get worse. And Erdogan (despite what all of us, including me, say around here) is seen as too much of a moderate by the rest of the Islamofascists within Turkey.

Erdogan has maneuvered Turkey into a situation where it has no allies, literally — the only ally Turkey had in the entire region was Israel, and he went to a lot of trouble to nuke that. His moves to make Turkey the crossroads of Near East trade via a new economic community including Syria, Iran, and neighboring states in the Balkans fell to pieces. Iran played him but good.

Egypt has been headed for civil war since the protests against Mubarak. The rise of Morsi was a respite. The Saudis were caught flatfooted, and Mubarak’s fall can be seen as the trigger for everything that has happened since in the region. Multiple factions are struggling for power, and sometimes work together, and other times work against each other.

And ditto what infowarrior notes — the Egyptian military doesn’t want a war with Israel. Besides the vulnerability of a country that is only a few miles wide — meaning Egypt, which still crowds along the Nile — and has one of the largest artificial lakes in the world just uphill, the local politics are so volatile that the army wouldn’t dare to leave town to fight a foreign enemy. That’s been the case since Sadat was assassinated.

Nice series of Alinskyite abuses. I did ask for proof, not a series of unrelated photographs that have no context whatsoever—and certainly none of your hot air. The LORD rebuke you.

If the Egyptian military does not want a war with Israel, then why are/were they just fine with the “Masri” people chanting “To Jerusalem we go; martyrs in the millions” in Tahrir Square?

I suspect that the military in Egypt have an ulterior motive for possibly supporting the secularists. Think of the MB's stance on Israel, and then think of three words, which I am absolutely certain that the Egyptian military is thinking as well...

The military is no friend to the Islamists. The MB wants war with Israel. The military has little interest in having a war with Israel, a war where lots of Egyptian soldiers will die.

I think a lot of Egyptian soldiers and officers are thinking "If I am to live, then the MB must die".

PS. If you really are hoping for the secularists (who have no organization or leadership and never did) to suddenly take over, you really are hoping against hope. Everything I said about Tamarod is factual—they are a faction of radicals themselves. I did not get that from the MB.

And again, tell it to the women who just got raped by these “rebels”.

Was The Blaze fooled by the MB here?

Then why did the military aid the MB in the first place? There was certainly no reason to, was there, if any of that is true?

You haven’t gotten a fact in this thread right yet, and I doubt that you have the mental acuity to recognize that or the ethics to admit it.

In short, you are merely a pathetic internet troll. Ignorant of the world, yet able to spout off about things you know not anyway.

Most telling was that you either didn’t understand the pictures that I posted, or else did understand and lied about them.

I completely understood. All of the images are from the liberal media, and no context was provided. The radicals like to pose for the liberal media. Do you also believe the pictures that come out of “Palestine”?

You still have a curse hanging over your head due to your callousness towards the female victims of Tahrir Square. By all means, tell your empty tales to people like Dina Zakaria.

Your arrogance is matched only by your ignorance, both of which disgrace Free Republic.

The entire 22 million Tamarod movement in Egypt is anti-Islamist, contrary to your ridiculous claims and attempts at deflection (”oh look, someone claims a rape!”): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23131953

Thanks for proving what you are. A link to the liberal BBC (known for propagandizing on radical Islam’s behalf) and a false claim that Tamarod is “anti-Islamist” does expose you. Dina Zakaria would be pleased to hear all this.

A little bit of research into the backers of Tamarod uncovers Nasserists, Salafists, outright Marxists, et cetera. There are secular elements there, but they are in the minority and are about to get used again just like they were used in 2011. Don’t mistake my jaded outlook for “arrogance”; I refuse to be blind. And I also refuse to be blind to the female victims of rape in Tahrir Square.

Look, you have an Internet Personality. That means that you will post and post, never admitting that you got something wrong.

I gave you a chance to back out of this thread and you disregarded it because you have so little character that losing face doesn’t come into your tiny frame of mind.

Yeah, I get that you will keep repeating your “rape” lines as if that is some magic wand that will save your pathetic position, and in minds as small as yours that might even seem rational...

...but it isn’t.

You posted nonsense.

You got schooled.

You’re too arrogant to back down gracefully so you just keep posting the same nonsense.

Pretty simple-minded pattern.

Sad.

Thanks for your comment. I watch and read about the Middle East and just wish that Islamists would go strap their bomb vests on and all kill each other. Leaving the non-Islamists free to believe that they want.

My “nonsense” can be easily researched. Just look up the names, especially Hamdeen Sabahi, a known Nasserist (that philosophy is thoroughly National Socialist, hence a form of Nazism) and leader of the National Salvation Front.

OTOH, you posted liberal media propaganda. That’s remarkably sad. You do know what site this is, yes?

Even worse, all that the protesters are calling for is early elections. The same game will be played as was played last year; the clerics will tell the people who to vote for in order to not be “immoral”.

And are you making fun of the rape victims?

LOL! You went back to your “rape” line, betraying your lack of original thought.

Shocking.

Not.

Welcome to the Internet.

Jay Solomon also wrote this three years ago. I predict 0 for 2, although it is not what I would like to see.

It’s not my line, at all.

And we now have Tamarod leaders willing to reserve a so-called “place” for the MB.
