Wait, our President is one of these guys.
We're fucked.
About a year ago, Wael Elfeqy waited in a long line to cast his ballot for Egypt’s first democratically elected president. His candidate, Mohammed Morsi, won the election but was removed from office and jailed last week when the military seized power.
“We were so proud,” said Elfeqy, a physical therapist from southwest suburban Justice who travels frequently to Egypt, where he was born. “We were so proud of our democracy, and these guys stole it from us.”
While thousands rallied in the streets of Egypt both for and against Morsi’s ouster, Elfeqy was among hundreds of pro-Morsi demonstrators who protested Sunday on the Magnificent Mile, outside Chicago’s Egyptian Consulate. The protesters lined the sidewalks, many waving U.S. and Egyptian flags and holding homemade signs denouncing Egypt’s military and interim leadership.
Egyptian military officials say the country’s acting leadership is preparing for a new round of elections, but many of those gathered Sunday in Chicago fear a return to an autocratic government like the one protesters toppled in 2011.

Frankly I think we might be seeing the seminal beginnings of a civil war in Egypt.
And this will help identify to american WHO and WHAT the salafi FREAKS are and want IN AMERICA.
Why wasn't Iran enough?
Iran wasn't enough because it was restricted to "over there."
Now, the MB is marching in the streets of America. That should wake people up.
Oh, wait....
The MB is okay because Obama says that it is okay. Plus, Islam is a religion of peace that deserves respect.
How far we have slid since 1979, huh?
MB failing in Egypt has huge implications. This is NOTHING like Iran. Iran was a VERY isolated.
MB is worldwide. Egypt is their birthplace (they might say Mecca is their birthplace). And if MB can't even work well in Egypt, then that spells disaster for the organization all over the world.
Like Epa said. It looks as if there is going to be a civil war. Especially if the military doesn't cope with it the right way (that way being forgetting about elections and establishing a new dictatorship).
I don't give a sh*t about Egyptian Muslims. What I am worried about are the Christians. I am also worried about what MB might do in the rest of the world.
Sorry the above comment was by me.
