Egypt: The Hijacking Of the Hijacker!

 

To say that I am the least surprised at the events in Egypt would be a colossal exaggeration because I am not.  In fact, I had expressed to colleagues long long ago that the shelf-life of a Morsi government would not exceed six to 12 months.

The current upheaval has been en route to Egypt since Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood conned the Egyptian electorate into giving it a chance to govern. Like all the Islamic fundamentalist leaders around the world, Mr. Morsi promised freedom, democracy, protection of human rights and equality under the law and then turned around and pursued a gradual path to Islamic theocracy and oppression.

Mr. Morsi’s intentions were from the beginning - to turn Egypt into an Islamic theocracy modeled on Iran. A carbon copy of Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini‘s actions in Iran in 1979 and Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s in Turkey in 2003. That is to say- they hijack the people’s revolution and seized power by deceit and manipulation of current social sentiment and civil unrest.  Then once they were at the helm of power, they pursued and implemented their own ideology and partisan agenda by any means available to them. That of course includes violence, demoralization, oppression and abuse of human rights. It’s what I call the re-engineering of insurrection and lobotomization of society. 

Where Mr. Morsi went wrong, however, is that he failed to study the methodology of Erdogan and Khomeini before him. The first thing both Erdogan and Khomeini did once in power, was to replace the upper echelons of the judiciary and the military with people of their own ideology and choosing.  Once they re-engineered and refitted those two branches, they began the persecution of critical journalists and activist opposition. When those targets had been achieved the consolidation of their controls and power was completed and the new Emperors ascended to their throne.  Mr. Morsi’s failure to neutralize the opposition and refit the military, became the catalyst for his current demise.  In other words the Egyptian military became the people’s hand that “hijacked the hijacker”. How more fitting can it get?

Another misstep of Mr. Morsi was the fact that he underestimated the determination of the Army to intervene in order to protect the secularity of the Egyptian society.  The biggest miscalculation by Morsi, was that he overlooked the fact that his electoral success was not because the Egyptian people were endorsing or adhering to his Salafist ideology but rather because they were rejecting Mubarak’s   forty year tyrannical dictatorship.

In the final examination, two things become abundantly clear.  One is,  that true Egyptians are proudly connected to their historic progressive past, a civilization that had become a beacon of light to the world and two… (well) - they are not really ethnically Arabs.  They are Egyptians therefore rejective    of the Arabic Theocratic backward and oppressive misogynous form of Islam, the type so prevalent in the Gulf States. 

The Next to go….Mr. Erdogan.

 Again This Is Not News…It’s Egyptian Reality.
