Looming protests aimed at removing Egypt's president raise question of legitimacy
[FOXNEWS] In abstract terms, Sunday's planned protests aimed at forcing out Islamist President Mohammed Morsi would seem to violate a basic principle of democracy: If a fair vote is conducted, even if the majority is slim or the turnout modest, all must respect the results. Otherwise it's political chaos.

Morsi's Islamist supporters have been angrily making that argument for weeks, accusing loyalists of the ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
of being behind the campaign against the president and of aiming to thwart democracy, one of the main aspirations of the 2011 revolution that removed him.

But the organizers of Sunday's protests insist he has lost legitimacy through what they call a series of power grabs, missteps and poor decisions, and that Morsi, his Moslem Brüderbund and their Islamist allies are using victories -- at times narrow -- scored in elections during a still nascent and transitioning democracy to control it completely for themselves.

They argue the Islamists unfairly set the rules of the game by pushing through a new constitution without consensus, broke the rules with decrees that for a period put Morsi above oversight, ran roughshod over the courts and attacked previous anti-Morsi protesters. In their eyes, he is allowing one faction -- Islamists ranging from the Brotherhood to ultraconservative Salfis and more radical groups -- to monopolize power and take the country down a more Islamist and sectarian path beyond any election mandate.

#1  (Sigh) Islamic games.

#2  In abstract terms being elected is not a blank check, demoractic legitimacy is lost as soon as you violate Constitution, laws and Huamn Rights.

Otherwise you would have to give legitimacy to Hitler (who became chancelor throug legal means) and condemn the generals who tried to assassinate him.
