Egyptians Flood Streets To Force Morsi Out of Office

[white-wolf]

And when it comes to Morsi you repeat the fact that he was democratically elected

Ummm, Soma, %98 is not considered healty for a democracy. On the other hand, countries ruled by Generals are hardly democracies. Believe me, we had experienced all this. I still remember the constituon vote after the 1980 coup. It was something %90ish. And next morning voters learned that they choose General Kenan Evren as the president.

If a poll said 98% of Americans agreed on anything id think something very fishy would be going on. Hard enough as is to get Americans to agree on 50%.

For that the Arab are the leader of the world .

And any way from what i hear in TV, it is possible, the people have hardly vote, some say that the number was 30% of the total people allow to vote and some say it was 50%, in Sinai it is only 15% .

98% would definitely be hard being that something like 7% think reptilian aliens rule the world. I think 7% would have to have an always-insane opinion.

context, mate! context....

I hear that turnover %55 and yes votes are %95.

98% actually.. now where's Papay??

remember it's over 90% of the 38% of the population that turned out to vote , and this just ratifies the constitution and have you read the thing it's interesting apparently , strengthens the police military and judiciary but removes the islamic leading clauses put in by Morsi and also gives more rights to women and the disabled .

this isn't democracy though it is being used as a measure of pro army support and showed it too as Sisi hinted a strong yes vote and he would run for president.

and too those who say 90% is strange that's because the islamist strong south boycotted the vote in protest about Morsi's removal , naturally

[SomaaTheLion]

Just to clarify, I would actually prefer Sisi to remain Minister of Defence instead of running for president. Although he hasn't done anything until now which proves any wrongdoing, I would rather have a civilian as president. But the issue Egyptians are now facing is that there is no strong presidential nominee with a high popularity (except Sisi) who could decisively win the election. And if Sisi doesn't run for president, we face the risk of dividing the votes of the non-Islamist voters again.

So the voting is fixed or what?I mean loads voted for Morsi where did they go jail?

it's not fixed exactly see the next response

I mean loads voted for Morsi where did they go jail?

no they didn't the Morsi and Islamists predominantly in the south boycotted the vote so it's not that the vote was fixed it's that the opposition choose not to vote

98% is a disgrace for any Arab dictator who respects himself. Saddam, Kadaffi and others usually took 100%

Total YES votes - 10,693,911(63.8%)
Total NO votes - 6,061,011 (36.2%)
Overall turnout - 32.9%

Most probably the voting wasn't fixed, no, but don't forget that Egyptians have never said no in a referendum..ever.
Whatever the question is, Egyptians tend to say yes.
Another factor is that previously most people that voted for the MB weren't hardcore members of the organisation but rather people that saw a group which said it would implement the teachings of Quran etc. (which in fact isn't something bad at all) but they turned out to be a bunch of scumbags who only wanted to consolidate their power to further steal from, terrorize and humiliate this country.
Something else that might have played a role is the fact that most of their leaders and "district leaders" are, and rightly so, in prison resulting in the chain of command being broken and the lower-rank members having no superior to get orders from.
Although the MB has officially called for the vote to be boycotted, I doubt that it had a significant role.
In my opinion, people who still support the brotherhood don't exceed 750.000, a million at most.

Morsi's percentage difference figures looked like those of a respectable middling EU state with a healthy democracy.

Sisi's are in Brother Leader territory.

You know its nice to see you shouting for how dictatorial was the rule of Morsi and then support a government that kills protesters in the streets, arrests anyone who criticizes the government and wins referendums with 98%. In Egypt now if you criticize the government you are considered a terrorist

never said i supported anything , i have done what i have always done in this thread criticised those who seem to think Morsi was an impeccable leader and wasn't well on his way to being a dictator , i have also criticised those who placed the blame for the violence 100% on the army instead of on the MB as well.

You do remember that conversation we had about the killing protesters right ? where some of the dead in your numbers were police and also how you glazed over the attacks against copts right?

The attacks against the Copts and police occurred after the military massacred 500 people in Cairo. Without supporting their actions i would say that having a government committing such a huge massacre is a reason to run amok. In the west we had events were the police shot someone and for days afterwards we had unrest.
Still most of the attacks can be attributed to other minor Islamic factions like the Al Qaeda linked rebels fighting in Sinai. And their attacks are used from the government to shift the blame to MB. Some weeks ago a suicide bomber killed 15 police and the government instantly blamed MB despite the fact that the rebels in Sinai took responsibility for this

1)the copts were attacked before that massacre the prosecution ramped up when the coptic pope was one of the people announcing the removal of morsi
2) that 500 number included police causalities in your linked report i remember that vividly , i also remember a counter linked report about tortured and killed individuals inside the MB protest which was stormed
3) and your logic is flawed as it was before the army kills people so you should attack the copts ? because they are obviously pulling the strings of the army

in the west we haven't have dictator or over powered civil and military authorities for some time now and we definitely haven't had people tortured in protests any time recently

it's true that most of the co ordinated attacks seem to be by extremists , but unrest and violence have been shown to be widespread the little factions can't be that widespread

1)Most of the attacks happened after Morsi was overthrown. Why dont you blame the military for this?
2)Nope. Videos show clearly the massacre. Unarmed protesters were shot dead by the police and the military. I've posted many videos dont make me post them again. This occurred throughout Egypt. Regarding the report you mention, its laughable. It makes no sense at all. Just an excuse from the military to shift the blame AGAIN to MB for the bloodset
3)The army was denounced by the Amnesty International because it failed to protect the churches. More churches were burned under Sisi than under Morsi. Still you think that Sisi is better to Copts than Morsi. I want you to explain to me why

because they didn't attack the copts ....

why are some lives less important in your eyes?

also the videos aren't clear , some weren't unarmed or else the police and army wouldn't have causalities if they were the only ones using guns as you claim.

3)The army was denounced by the Amnesty International because it failed to protect the churches. More churches were burned under Sisi than under Morsi. Still you think that Sisi is better to Copts than Morsi. I want you to explain to me why

because the army didn't attack the churches ... the MB supporters did and we know this because the claimed responsibility .

also amnesty international has denounced the army for it's treatment of protesters and prisoners not for this as far as I'm aware

[Papay]

Speaking of attacks against the Copts guess which was the bloodiest incident?

http://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&...59568121,d.d2k

The army shot dead dozens of copts in an incident in October 2011. Back then, the army was in charge, not Morsi. The army and the police shot dead 20 Christians. So we had attacks against the Copts before Morsi was in power and after Morsi was overthrown. But during Morsi's rule few attacks occurred. Care to explain why Christians in Egypt are more safe under military rule? Because statistics say a different story

[knight of meh]

care to explain how you can ignore me? you missed the part where Muslim brotherhood supporters took credit for the attacks on copts after Morsi was removed. you finding that the military committed crimes against the copts in the past doesn't change that...
