Egypt’s Morsi, dead at 67, never had a chance

2019-06-19

[IsraelTimes] Why the revolutionaries of the Arab Spring failed their followers, and other lessons from the blunder of a democracy in a society not set up for it.

Mohammed Morsi represented the Egypt’s Moslem Brüderbund, and they’re fundamentalist Islamist terrorists. Everyone "knows" that.

But Morsi was the first freely, democratically elected president of Egypt in 7,000 years. And so far, the only one. Morsi died after fainting in court, where he was on trial for his life on many charges, including espionage and murder.

#4 Morsi may be the first elected Egyptian Prez in millennia, but al Sisi is doing better than expected. Certainly better than if the MosBro were running the show.

I have a vague recollection of the voting being a bit hinky, but that may just be the ME in general. Saddam did well in Iraqi elections, IIRC.

#3 Unmentioned is the fact that Morsi opened the prisons and Islamist terrorists took off. Many settled in Sinai where the results continue to be felt today.

#2 Wouldn't muzz fundamentalist types lean toward "allan struck him down" as an explanation for going from "animated" to "inanimate" in an instant?

Nope. Muzz fundamentalist types lean toward "Yehud done it".
