An Egyptian Warns the United States to Back Off

Excerpt:

He is, needless to say, sickened by recent developments. He is also alarmed at the response by the Obama administration. “If the transfer of power happens today, the mobs will rule,” he warns. “It will be similar to the circumstances that brought Hamas to power in Gaza.”

Mr. Gabr recognizes the legitimacy of the protests. He is not mindlessly backing the current regime, but says that the peaceful rally that began several days ago on the streets of Cairo has been hijacked by those with vested interests – specifically the Muslim Brotherhood....

No. His time as dictator should have been over 20 years ago.



This is a classic case of USA funding dictators, and the world is right for hating US for having done so.



I think the Muslim Brotherhood (Iran, basically) is fomenting uprisings across the Middle East in an attempt to pull together a Caliphate. And of course destroy Israel. I do not know if it will work, but one thing is sure; prepare to pay way more for gasoline than we ever have before. Way more.



Glenn Beck is right when he says "Prepare". Because huge problems are in the pipeline and heading our way fast.

To your question,yes,by some. Looking at the overall problem makes one thing clear,and that is whoever controls the military in Egypt will have a very large say so about the direction the country goes.So far the only organized front rearing its ugly head is a combination of Muslim Brotherhood,Socialists,Communists with a few Islamics thrown in.These groups seem to have ridden in on the coat tails of this revolt,but are still present.Too early to tell what impact these groups will have long term,but they'll stir up problems short term.The "Ideology" will surface soon enough as it always does,probably with Islamic overtones if history is any guide.Whatever our State Dept.does,it shouldn't be broadcast publicly! We as a nation already have enough "screw - ups" to answer for in this situation.If we support the military,that's all we can effectively do.The rest is in the hands of the Egyptians.

The Muslim Brotherhood makes Mubarak look like a paragon of democratic principle.

That's WHY the entire Democrat caucus demands Egypt's ELECTIONS be prevented so the Brotherhood can simply seize power.

Maybe. The protesters don't want to throw out a tyrant and replace him with a group of tyrants.The Army should take over to keep the peace and give the people enough time to decide for themselves In a fair and lawful way.Hungry people have nothing to lose at this point.They seem like intelligent people and will figure out what is good for them.

Yes. On the other hand, Mubarak should have allowed uncorrupt elections. Its likely that if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over, there will be war with Israel. They do not recognize Israel's right to exist as a country.

No, but if the mindless people in the street get Sharia Law via the Brotherhood they may see him as the lesser of two evils.

Obama handled this like he does everything else, POORLY. He either refuses

to deal straight up out of inexperience, or out of agenda, There are NO other

issues to ponder or consider. He is either completely stupid, naive and inept,

or he has set Egypt up to fall into the hands of the radical Muslims. Obama

should be thrown out himself. He has proven time after time he does not have

the best interest of this Nation at hand or at heart.

to understand what happen in Egypt you must know this facts :

1- Mubarak is pro-American who govern Egypt since 1981 , and wanted to put his son as new president on the presidential election on September 2011

2- he make Egypt poor , stole Egypt fortune with his Family , friends ,his company , sell Gas to Israel , make other Arab countries hate Egypt , and make Egypt is

Police country, where internal inelegance can arrest anyone and kill anyone and abuse anyone

3- Egypt is most threaten for Israel due to big population 90 millions and big army, and Egypt fortune of resources and smart labor force also Egypt

Defeated Israel 1973 completely, while Egypt and Israel have peace agreement but Israel fear from any other coming government that may do not respect

The peace agreement and give Israel the chance to keep killing innocent people in Palestine like usual, so America , Israel , U.K want Mubarak and do not

Care about democracy, human rights, just want to keep their advantages with Mubarak

4- Egyptians make civil revolution against Mubarak system; it started to collect people through face book, tweeter, etc , most of them is youth 15-30 years old

Who do not find job while they are well educated , abused by police , and want to build a new future of Egypt

5- He stopped internet, mobile, satellite; arrest BBC, cnn, Aljazeera TV agents

6- He pushed 1 million dirt criminal police forces to stop the protests

7- the protests arrange the Friday of rage 28 of Jan , and show historical courage never seen in this century and defeated the police completely

8- Mubarak pushed the army, but the Egyptian army history is clean and did not ever fire a bullet on Egyptians protests

9- Mubarak take of the police from streets and open jails for criminals to make looting in the country so people fear and ask for the police help

10- The protests make groups like police to secure the country and arrange traffic and arrest criminals

11- Mubarak put a vice president and new government to make people calm

12- Protests refuse and they want the following:

1- Mubarak must go

2- Canceling the emergency law which gives permission to arrest anyone this law is 30 years implemented and give the dictators the chance to arrest anyone without courts

3- New constitution that secure freedom and democracy, human rights

4- Reelect a new parliament

13- The army leader said, we will not ever fire on people and the people is free to show their choice (the army leaders is natural now)

14- American hypocrite government started to comment at first with supporting Mubarak cause he is a friend of them and Israel but now they start to show some support to Egyptian protests , now after they sure that mobile cannot continue and protests is so strong after they become more than 8 millions , so America try to find a soulation

To be sure that the new president will not be anti-American/anti-west

15- America still supports him until now and gives him every facility to stop the revolution

16 – Mubarak and business men related to him hire criminals and secret police to make a massacred in liberation square and kill as much as protests as they can

And destroy Egyptian museum which hold 75% of human historical ancient antiques which value trillions of dollars

17- The revolution will success and America will lose their power step by step in Middle East because its hypo crate and foolish policy

18- Revolution started in Tunisia and then Egypt and will continue to all Arab countries and this make America and Israel fear, because they support all dictator systems in Arab countries

19- This revolution not for specific ideology (it's not like Iran revolution), protests is Muslims, Christians, liberals, communist , every methodology in Egypt

It’s the biggest CIVIAL protest in history 8 million (10% of population) , it's for democracy , freedom , human rights , so why America /EU keep Quit?

Revolution until Victory, Egypt is Uprising, Long Life Egypt, the oldest Civilization in history

A democratically elected government is not a hijacking.

If Egyptians want that, they will have it.
