I have been
following the action in Egypt for some time now.
As I have previously
stated, the government there was democratically elected so a military coup to
oust a democratically elected government should be against our American
democratic values and not supported UNLESS…
The
democratically elected government of MORSI started taking steps to write a
constitution that would limit democratic freedoms and instead promote the power
of the Muslim Brotherhood, in effect, creating an Islamist state.
This is not
good for the people of Egypt where a large young population has grown up in the
internet age and cannot be fooled and bamboozled or even scared into abandoning
their love of reason and free thought for the superstitions and backwardness of
religious rule; theocracy.
IRAN is a
great example of what can happen when a dictator falls and a religious dictator
takes over.
Here in the
U.S. the politics about Egypt are going in predictable fashion with the
Republicans attacking Obama for supporting a military coup against a
democratically elected government which is against our own rules.
John McCain
of all people, said it was morally unacceptable to support a military coup which
is total political bullshit which the Republicans know all too well but want to
use the opportunity to slam Obama politically while being the usual hypocrites
that they are; they would never want a country to become an Islamic state and
therefore an enemy of the U.S. which is what they are encouraging Obama to allow…what
shitheads.
The U.S.
media is also doing its darnedest to show how brutal the military reaction to
the protests for the Muslim Brotherhood has been “how can they fire on their
own people?” and the prime minister replied “because the people are firing on
them” you idiot!
The reality
is that probably most of the protesters are regular citizens pissed off that
their candidate was ousted but the militants in the crowd fire their weapons
knowing full well what the military will do and this is their attempt to gain
sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood by forcing the military to fire on “innocent”
civilians due to one militant in the crowd firing his weapon at the military.
The military
must make a deal whereas a constitutional convention will be held to write the
new constitution and this constitution will be worded in such a way as to
prevent any one party (Muslim Brotherhood) from taking over the country and
changing the country into a theocracy.
We have such
a constitution and as much as the religious nuts in this country want to insert
their religious views into our daily life; the constitution blocks them and
that is what freedom is really all about; you cannot cram your views and
beliefs down people’s throats by force when they do not agree with those views
or beliefs.
If there is
to be a new world order it has to relegate militant Muslims into a political
party; one political party among many with a voice in government but not the
only voice. Secular Muslims will form their own political parties as will
Coptic Christians and the right to this form of government can only be
guaranteed by a well written constitution.
In Egypt,
the Islamists have been kept in check by the dictator Mubarak but as soon as he
was deposed, the Muslim Brotherhood saw their chance at total domination.
The same
thing is happening in Turkey, a Muslim country that was secularized by Ataturk
early on and kept that way sometimes by military force. The country and its
people have prospered due to its secularism but recently a democratically elected
Islamist has been trying to move the country into a theocracy.
In both
countries, it is the young people that are opposed to any movement making their
country an Islamic state and their lives controlled by religious leaders and it
will be those same young peoples that will change the world order and finally
bring light into the darkness that has existed for so long and continues to
exist because of religion.
Obama has a
hard choice as far as giving military aid to a military killing its own people;
how can we aid the Egyptian military without looking like we condone slaughter…hmmmmmmm.
