Egyptians Rally in Tahrir Square on 2nd Anniversary of Mubarak Ouster to Protest…Morsi & Muslim Brotherhood

Jan. 25, 2013 12:45pm Tiffany Gabbay

Two years ago Tahrir Square was overrun by Egyptian protesters vowing to topple Mubarak’s authoritarian regime in the name of “democracy.” Spurred by the Muslim Brotherhood (who, not coincidentally, seized power in swift order), and championed by misguided Westerners, the dissident movement was successful in its goals. Not before long, the late Anwar Sadat’s successor who, despite being guilty of his own set of transgressions, managed to maintain stability in the region, a cool yet productive peace with Israel, and a safe distance between Islamists and the halls of actual governmental power, was ultimately, deposed.

Presently, those who changed the tide those fateful days in Cairo are marking the second anniversary of the Mubarak ouster, not by celebrating their hard-won victory, but by rallying in Tahrir Square again to demand yet another revolution — this one to oust the man they, themselves, put in power: Mohammed Morsi.

Egyptian protesters amassed in Tahrir Square Friday, furious over what they see as a betrayal by their newly elected president and his Muslim Brotherhood ilk.

Fueled by the belief that the Islamist regime has trampled their country’s constitution and any sense of democracy that may have once been in sight, protesters clashed with police after launching petrol bombs and firecrackers as they rushed the dividing wall of nearby government buildings.

“Our revolution is continuing,” Hamdeen Sabahy, a prominent liberal leader told Reuters TV. “We reject the domination of any party over this state. We say no to the Brotherhood state.”

The protesters, led primarily by liberals and secularists, are using the anniversary of the original Tahrir Square uprising to pressure Morsi to amend the highly-disputed constitution drafted by his Islamist affiliates. The opposition movement is also demanding greater freedoms and an independent judiciary, according to reports from the AP.

The Jan. 25 anniversary showcased the divide between the Islamists and their secular foes that is hindering President Mohamed Mursi’s efforts to revive an economy in crisis and reverse a plunge in Egypt’s currency by enticing back investors and tourists.

Hundreds of thousands are expected to participate in the planned rallies in Cairo and several other major cities. Needless to say, Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood compatriots are keeping under the radar and indeed, off the streets until the dust clears.

A prophecy, October 9, 1981: “As we have said before, [that] the Eagle [U.S.A.] should spread its wings — and in doing so it shall protect the Christ child — for you stand at the threshold of the beginning and the ending. For the things we have told you to prepare for are now at hand….” [See The Revelation, chapters 12 and 13.]
“And there are those who gather around the Lord and say unto Him, ‘How long must we wait, oh Lord?’” [See The Revelation, chapters 6 through 8, and Genesis, chapters 4 and 15 through 25.]
“And we say, unto the fullest time of the Lord, thy God.
For we shall send forth upon the third day a rose to be born and lain in the land of Egypt. And he shall rise, to walk with the Messiah. But before this time, in the fulfillment of these things, war lies before you.”

I think that the Blaze is late on an article about 27 people being slaughtered after the soccer riot verdict. This probably took place in Tahrir Sq. where woman are raped and goats are petted before eating them for supper.

The great lesson of history: Today the conquering hero; tomorrow the hated tyrant.

Cheer up. The world is falling apart as planned.

Obama always knew they would blame America for this Travesty. That will be the story line as it always is. For the first time in history, there will be absolute truth to it.

I’ll bet they wish they had Mubarak back. Egypt was doing just fine with him in power. They’ve chosen to dance with the devil, and now they’re not happy about it. Too late! I doubt they’ll ever get back to stability again in our lifetime.

Civil war will provide an OPPORTUNITY for Patriots to set things right. All the Tokyo Rose personalities and propaganda outlets that have encouraged and enabled socialists and communists to gain power in the US through intimidation and deceit will be fair game.

Embrace this OPPORTUNITY.

lol not the most well-educated bunch.

I thought the protestors were college students. But I guess in their syllabi, they don’t go near the French Revolution, and why it failed, and allowed Napoleon Bonaparte to engage the continent in many years of open warfare.

Let’s hope Egypt doesn’t acquire an advanced military. What? They have our fighter jets? Shoot.

Morsi is in power and he isn’t going anywhere. These people that are protesting the MB are spitting in the wind. Morsi and his followers will make mincemeat of them. The true violence in Egypt is just now beginning.

By the way, why is the Fordo Nuclear facility explosion not being mentioned by the media? Have I just missed the coverage?

  John “Long Face Ketchup Slut” Kerry explained why American Taxpayers have to give the M&M’s (for MBE thats Morsi & Muslim Bros) their hard earned cash. You know the 50% that actually Pay Federal Income Tax.

The difference between this protest and the one that deposed Mubarak is; the Muslim Brotherhood couldn’t care less what the “people” think. Most of them are just infidels and worthless in the eyes of god.

The people got rid of a fairly benign dictator, and replaced him with iron fisted Theocracy. A dragon that believes it is holy and righteous, and is being led by god. I pray for those people. They have no idea how bad things are about to become.

  If he even needs them. Having the secret police visit the homes of protestors and their families a few nights each week, and having people just “disappear” works wonders at controlling an irate populace.
  
  A few F-16 strikes in the countryside won’t hurt either.
  
  Needless to say, the Muslim Brotherhood will not be giving up power because of the “will of the people” What’s the will of the people when they have the Will of god himself?
  
  You have let a serpent into your house oh mighty Egypt.

Thinking we may be close to the same here in the states. A newly re-elected president begins to show his true face. I have talked with many people in the last couple weeks who seem to have awakened to who this guy truly is. Between his push to eliminate the 2nd amendment, his communist styled remarks in his inauguration speech, the courts ruling that he has violated the constitution in some of his appointments- yep, I feel it coming to a head. The ObamaZombie Apocalypse is near…

We see the clear truth of the Muslim Brotherhood, the people of Egypt do not want them as the leaders of their nation and yet Obama refuses to support genuine democratic reforms while supporting the Islamist Radicals of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This will soon be the future of the United States under Obama as he tightens his grip over us all and prepares to turn the nation into a bloodbath.

  @CIVILWARCOMETH – obama’s goal is to weaken the U.S. military and our combat readiness – it’s all part of his mission to destroy America.

Yes yes we know how you feel we have an MB member in the oval office as well. Our MB member inflicted your MB member on you,maybe you can take yours out of power,at least for your sake I hope you do. As for us we’re stuck with our POS MB member for four more years but many generations of misery because of the disaster that is BHO.
