As many of us Americans watch the events unfold in Egypt, it is hard not to compare their situation to that of our’s. Mohamed Morsi was allegedly fairly elected by the citizens of Egypt and he ran on the platform of being a “uniter.” Sound familiar? He pledged to the Egyptian people to govern from the center and represent all of the various groups and factions, to include the Coptic Christian minority. As a member of the Muslim Brotherhood prior to the 2012 elections in Egypt, it should have been clear to the people where his loyalties would be placed. If it was not obvious to the Egyptian citizens from the beginning, it certainly did not take them long to see the effects of their misplaced trust. Morsi stated that he would protect the Coptic Christians and their freedom to worship as they chose, although in reality, this was not the case. He actually formed hard line Islamic Muslim Brotherhood Militias to attack the Christian minorities and there were many instances of deaths, tortures and disappearances. Not to mention the damage to Churches and private property owned by the Coptics. Morsi went hard left and led a fascist regime that was controlled by the few and for the fewer. On his watch, the economy went south while unemployment skyrocketed and all he cared about was maintaining his grasp on power. Well, the people decided things had gone too far for too long and the cry for freedom went out.
