Anti-Obama Viral Video By Egyptian Belly Dancer

Egyptian singer/belly dancer/satirist Sama Al-Masri (Elmasry) has another viral video on her hand. Not afraid to show her disdain for Mohammed Morsi, she's now tackling Barack Obama and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson for their support of the Muslim Brotherhood. She's also not too fond of Turkey and Israel.

It should be noted that Sama was secretly wed to a Salafist MP, Anwar al-Balkimi (or Balkimy) aka the "nose job MP", until she discovered he was married with kids. Al-Balkimi denied the marriage, then again he also denied having a nose job, which is a major no-no in Islam. All rather odd since she so hates Islamists.

Smart Egyptian Boy Goes Viral, Faved As President On Social Media

Remember the video I posted in early May of the uber-intelligent young Egyptian boy blasting the Muslim Brotherhood? It seems the video has finally gained traction, and he's become the latest sensation.

12-year-old Ahmed Ali said of Mohammed Morsi's regime:
“We didn’t get rid of a military regime to replace it with a fascist theocracy."

“How come there are only seven ladies in the constituent assembly, six of whom are Islamists?” 

“They say ladies are equal to men in all matters, except in matters that contradict the Shariah law (Islamic law)."

He stressed that the government manipulated the constitution, saying that anything that is built on “falsehood” …”will end up with something bad.”

“All of this [political process] is void, because the parliament in the first place is void,” Ali said.
The outspoken boy criticized regulations adopted from the Islamic Shariah law as “outrageous.” Ali provides an example saying “Islamic law allows men to discipline their wives.

“I can’t beat my wife up and almost kill her, and then tell you this is discipline. This is not discipline, this is abuse and insanity,” Ali exclaims.
Too bad he's not old enough to be president, though Twitter folk are saying he should be.

A message to Barack Obama from an Egyptian director Mazen Said.

On behalf of Egyptians:

"Stop supporting Mohammed Morsi and the other terrorists in Egypt."

A Look At The Anti-Morsi Protests In Video and Photos

An aerial view shows the actual scope of the anti-Mohammed Morsi protests in Egypt. It's truly quite incredible how many have taken to the streets. Millions and millions.



And there is also a plethora of anti-Obama (and therefore anti-US) sentiment out there in response to Obama's stance on the Egyptian people's attempts to wrestle back the fledgling democracy they had initially fought for, until so many foolishly voted the Islamists in. And much anger towards the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson, for criticizing their protests, and telling them to stand down.






In fact, Obama is going to piss them off even more when the Administration's threat of possibly cutting aid to Egypt if there is a coup becomes common knowledge. They will see this as siding with Morsi once again. Not that they care about our money, they just want Morsi out.

Obama needs to stay out of it.

I wish the Egyptian people much luck, though they have a hell of a lot of work to do on themselves, especially the male population: starting with the abysmal attitude towards women, including rampant sexual harassment of females. Sadly, in Tahrir Square this go round, many women, including a Dutch reporter, a grandmother and 7-year-old child have been sexually assaulted.  No word of whether it was anti-Morsi or pro-Morsi Islamists who were the culprits.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days.  I had given up on Egypt, but it's looking promising since they have the backing of the military, and the police are trying to not take sides.

Egypt's Satirist Bassem Youssef Now Charged With "Insulting Pakistan"

It didn't take long for Bassem Youssef (Egypt's 'Jon Stewart') to make headline news again. Last week, the courts threw out a lawsuit filed against him for skewering President Mohammed Morsi and Islam, this week some new complaints have surfaced- this time for "insulting Pakistan", "spreading atheism", and another charge for "insulting Islam."

In his weekly show al-Bernameg, the satirist wore a hat similar to, but much bigger than, that worn by Mursi while receiving an honorary doctorate from a university in Islamabad last month.

Another lawsuit claimed Youssef was attempting to “spread atheism” after he allegedly made fun of the prayer ritual, which constitutes “questioning one of the five pillars of Islam,” Egypt’s Tahrir newspaper reported.

The third lawsuit accused him of disrespecting a lawyer at the public prosecutor’s office, and police officers outside the court, when he was summoned in March.

Youssef posted satirical comments on Twitter such as: “Officers and the lawyer at public prosecution’s office want to take a picture with me.” The complaint considered the Tweet “insulting,” Tahrir reported.

The charges against Youssef have raised international concerns.

Mursi’s presidential office has insisted that citizens’ complaints, not the office itself, are behind the probe.

Youssef’s high-profile case has prompted the United States to express “real concerns” about the direction being taken by the Egyptian government.

Although the court threw out the lawsuit demanding Youssef's show be banned, the charges of insulting Islam and Morsi are still pending, and he's out on bail pending further investigation.

And we give this country millions in aid.

Egypt Get's Its Unofficial Morality Police Force

So Egypt is taking the next step to turning into another Iran or Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan with the creation of a brand-spanking new 'unofficial' morality police force for Cairo.  The newly minted Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice will make sure no-one strays from the Islamic moral path, although the founder- Cleric Hisham al-Ashri- swears it will be nothing like its Saudi namesake. Only "non-violent methods" for the Egyptian CPVP. According to the IB Times:

El-Ashri said: "We will only offer advice to those who want to listen. We shall have no business with people who refuse to listen to us."
Right. Maybe for now but that will definitely change once they get established.  In fact, Bikya News said the Salafists will have canes to punish violators, and eventually will move into the 21st century by getting tasers.

Al-Ashri is the same man who,

Following his recent return from the U.S. al-Ashri gave a television interview during which he declared: "It is the dream of my life to wage war against Israel." He also stated: "There is no such thing as a Christian religion."

Interesting to note that back in 2012, President Mohammed Morsi vowed to deal with "moral" vigilantism", and denied the existence of any morality police, even though there have been several incidents of vigilantism.

There is no 'Committee for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice' in Egypt as has been rumoured of late, Yasser Ali, acting spokesman for Egypt's newly-inaugurated President Mohamed Morsi, said on Wednesday.
"It's not true that there is such a committee; the incidents that have happened of late were all instigated by individuals and investigations are still underway," he said.

I can't imagine Al-Ashri would have set up his CPVP without Morsi's approval. I hope the Egyptian people continue to take a stand before it's too late.

Sadly, not unexpected.

Morsi Aide Believes Holocaust Was A Hoax- 6 Million Jews Moved To The U.S.

Holocaust deniers usually claim that the numbers of murdered Jews were highly inflated, but one of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's advisers, Fathi Shihab-Eddim, actually believes it's a myth, and that all 6 million of them moved to the U.S. with the aid of the United States. Right, the country that did virtually nothing to go out of its way to help the Jews during that time.

“The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented,” an aide to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said this week, Fox News reported.
“US intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied nations during World War II created [the Holocaust] to destroy the image of their opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the atomic bomb."

Of course all the physical proof of the Holocaust was simply an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the OSS (predecessor of the CIA), maybe with major help from Hollywood? And this person advises Morsi?

And we send F-16s and aide to this country?
