Leanne King Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood were not after a fair and modern democratic country Mr. Obama, I really don’t want to be a terrorist Editor’s Note: The Obama administration is pumping out the propaganda, the talking heads filling the White Noise with their opinion regarding the overthrow of Mohamad Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Mohamed Hawary, a leader from Egypt’s secular democracy movement that organized June 30 demonstrations, was close to the 30 million Egyptians who took to the streets and who knows from first-hand experience what is happening, says the epic events took the U.S. by total surprise: Never in the history of modern politics have events been subjected to so much “selective reasoning” as what the Obama administration has done with Egypt’s current events. Indeed the US administration swung the pendulum to the rhythm of the Muslim Brotherhood compass since the Jan 25 revolution, pressuring the army and the opposition to hand the country to the Islamist group on a silver platter. Every step of the way was marked by conflicting statements from the US administration serving the best interests of the Muslim Brotherhood. Statements that ranged from “this is not how mature democracies work” to “this is normal in a nascent democracy”, the goal seemed to always keep the MB on top. The reason behind the US administration’s position appears to be common wisdom inside this administration that “Egypt is dominated by Islamists and that secular powers in Egypt are negligible”. It’s not a crime to be wrong, but the real crime for this administration, in my opinion, is being too dogmatic to not recognize sign after sign that their position is far from being an informed one. Indeed, given how oblivious the US administration and its ambassador in Egypt were, it is no surprise that June 30, like Jan 25, has hit the US by surprise. canadafreepress/index.php/article/56359
