It’s actually HORRIBLE to be right: “Islamist Leads Egypt Vote” for prez

The Muslim Brotherhood, and even MORE salafi Salafist Party now hold some 70-75% of the legislature.

Now, a FORMER member of the MB is …well….

A preliminary count of votes for Egyptians living abroad has put Islamist candidate Abdul-Moneim Aboul-Fotouh in the lead, followed by left-leaningHamdeen Sabahi . The online statement by the State Information Service (SIS) onSaturdayadded that the figures “confirmed a sharp competition” for third between Amr Moussa and Mohamed Mursi.

The note did not elaborate on the precise breakdown of votes, or how many had been counted so far. A total of 587,000 Egyptians abroad registered to participate, according to the Supreme Presidential Elections Commission (SPEC). The figure represents just 1.13 percent of citizens eligible to take part, but nonetheless gives valuable clues about the current strength of the 13 candidates running for the top job. Almost 45 percent of Egyptian voters overseas reside in Saudi Arabia, and some 119,000 in Kuwait.

Fotouh, who has won support from the arch-conservative Salafi party, served for 25 years on the leadership body of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood—the oldest and most well-organized Islamic group in the region—before parting ways with the group last year. Fotouh opposed movies and sports and men and women studying in the same classrooms, among other things, and in a memoir he published two years ago, wrote that as a student radical he didn’t rule out the idea of using violence to achieve political goals.

As far as his relationship with the MB, he was expelled in 2011 for refusing to relinquish his independent presidential campaign. Later, after reconsidering, the MB overcame their promise NOT to run a candidate for the presidential office (which caused Foutoh’s expulsion) and ran their own man, who was LEADING, and who was then DISQUALIFIED from running, by the Army last month.

Fotouh, who SEEMINGLY on the plus side does not back mandatory veiling of women, has however been endorsed the Salafi Al Nour party (the guys to the Islamist right of the muslim brotherhood).

Egypt, which signed the 1973 peace accords changing the world, is shortly going to be run by the Muslim Brotherhoord, and the Salafi Al Nour Party.

And it will be a very popular govt,except for a few secular ‘liberals’ who will be suspiciously regarded.

This will be heralded as a good by the Obama Admin and proof that Al Qaeda is defeated.

And OUR ACTUAL ALLY, will be busy making plans to win a 2 front war which will seem to them as a near inevitability, and something which will not restrain them from acting on Iran, but rather cause them to ensure that they do so with dispatch.
