Former Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi began official business Monday as Egypt’s president-elect, tapping officials to form a new government as Egypt’s first civilian president. Despite congratulatory calls from President Obama, there is still a concern about Egypt in the White House as the nation’s ruling military is yet to hand over full powers to the Islamist, Morsi recently voiced interest in restoring long-severed ties with Tehran, and fears mount regarding the treatment of non-Muslims under Morsi.
Morsi has said he will take a more moderate approach, claiming he will consider Coptic Christians, young pro-democracy types and even women to be in his cabinet. But beyond the surface many reports suggest officials are actually worried about what this official victory means for the region. Joined by Eric Trager from Cairo, the “Real News” panel discussed Monday what policies we can expect from Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, and where there may be concerns regarding Egypt and it’s relationship with the United States and her allies.

Posted on June 26, 2012 at 7:48amUnless they were cheated of their vote; they voted them in, so let them deal with it. If we get spill over we will deal with that. Leave them all warring and lets kick Obama and cohorts out and close our borders then dare any of them to try anything else with us. We need to stand, always for Israel for if we do not, we are cursed.

Posted on June 26, 2012 at 2:13amThey are burning Christian Churches and wanting all Western influences removed from Islamic East, Africa. Large radical groups are meeting with females allowed to attend…seated in rear. This is very odd allowing females-unless its about to burst. All other branches of governing had better be ready to control power of “one” man’s executive order.

Posted on June 25, 2012 at 11:08pmA moderate? No way. Morsi wants to reinstate relations with Iran, institute Sharia, and make Jerusalem the capital of the Arab world, could this guy be anymore of a nightmare? It’s only “democracy” in action if the Muslim Brotherhood wins, and once they’ve won, their “faux democracy” is dissolved. They would have contested, protested and caused chaos had they not won this election. It’s a dark day for the civilized world and of course Obama calls to congratulate Morsi.
Report Post »The Muslim Brotherhood plays this country like we are a bunch of fools, and we sure don’t disappoint them in that regard with Obama at the helm.

Posted on June 25, 2012 at 10:29pmBHO is a moon god worshipper. Egypt is going to become drunk with power and Yahweh is going to give them a hell of a hangover just as it was after the Exodus. There’s my prediction with an added spice of truth about the dictator in Rome D.C.

Posted on June 25, 2012 at 9:55pmQuotes from Erdogan, the PM of “ moderate ” Turkey : ” There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s that.” …. ( Democracy is like a bus ) “you ride it until you arrive at your destination , then you step off.”…….” Assimilation is a crime against humanity.” ( can only imagine what immoderate Muslim Brotherhood hate group Morsi has said ! ) God help us and deliver us from the Obama Administration.

Posted on June 25, 2012 at 10:23pmThey will not come alone…and would not come at all were it not for what is going on now. Russia would never have entered Syria under any other POTUS. If I thought you had a prayer INDY, I’d take position with you.
