Re: Egypt [Re: Everlong]

Egyptians like to protest.

I've been following the story in AlJazeera and social networks. I wouldn't look to any major American news outlook for coverage on this. I have heard of protesters on the streets being shot by guns from helicopters.

I wouldn't know but I'm guessing most of the US-based coverage of this story is slanted to make the military look like the people's saviors, since Morsi is anti-Israel and the military is pro-Israel.

Yeah, I'm really shocked at how little coverage this is getting in America. This is worse than Syria. This is a bloodbath of unprecedented scale against peaceful citizens.

Obama says, we gotta support our ally in the region.



our 'ally' that obama has been supporting is the muslim brotherhood, the
very people responsible for all these deaths


BlindSophist said:
That's bullshit. The military stymied his accession and his administration every step of the way. Morsi had no force to back up his authority other than the will of the people, and the military betrayed it.


morsi is supported by he islamic brotherhood, to claim that morsi didnt
have the force to back it up shows how little you know about the situation


this is what's really happening in egypt, the pretty pictures of bombs and such going off that you see on CNN and in the papers dont do it justice

What are you on about, Pris? Obama aligned with the Egyptian military. Gotta protect our ally in the region.

Are you seriously trying to tell me the Egyptian military is being terrorized by the Muslim Brotherhood? :facepalm: They're the eleventh most powerful military in the world and they are massacring their citizens as we speak.

I just checked out Fox's coverage of this story. They focus on the rebuilding of Christian churches and the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization by the military.

They also have one photojournalist's account of a harrowing run-in with a member of this terrorist organization, in which he took this picture:



My God, they're armed with spraypaint. The Egyptian military, and the West with it is doomed. :omgz:

Of course, there is nothing like the pictures you just posted Pris, or any acknowledgment of the massacre of spraypaint-wielding terrorists and their worried-looking friends by the military.

Here are some pictures from inside one of the mosques before it was stormed and cleared out by the Egyptian military earlier today.




Do these people look dangerous to you? This is not a war or a crackdown, this is a massacre of peaceful civilians by US-backed, US-funded military forces.

Thanks for the photo source, Pris.

Just saying they don't have the right to self defense?

Do you see that picture above of the man carrying the tiny body bag? The military has been murdering women and children.

In many of those photos, people are saying this photographer is dead. I sure hope this isn't the case.

edit- it's not the case, it was another reporter with the same name.

Too tired to argue right now, but I'm sticking to my guns. Morsi was a farcry from real democracy, and literally changed next to nothing in the way he ran Egypt compared to who was previously in charge. He took away media rights, women rights, and more. Egyptians were super butt hurt when he kept the role of Information Minister, which was a position from the administration before him.

Nice photos, but I have a hard time trusting visual evidence when I've watched a video of Morsi supporters staging a photo shoot of injured people. No joke, in this video there is a group of "wounded" people striking poses for cameras. I know I mentioned a video I watched of military helicopters in support of protesters, so I'm shooting myself in the foot but all well. :lol:

The military wasn't committing any violence until the pro-Morsi protesters started to shed blood. If I'm wrong you can correct me.

What the hell? The military took action because MILLIONS of Egyptians took to the street in massive protests the likes of which have never been seen on this Earth.

Morsi was elected because: A. The Muslim Brotherhood was the only real viable organization at the time of the rushed elections. B. The Muslim Brotherhood misrepresented themselves as "moderate" when they were anything but.

The people protesting now are those extreme Islamist. Do some reading.

so in otherwords, Millions of Egyptians are fucked in the head. oh, that's a better scenario.

Not surprised, the "palestinians" use the same tactics to manipulate those that are easily manipulated. Pull their heart strings.
