Congrats Bisco and all the Egyptians here....again. However, let me just say that this is an unhealthy political cycle and y'all need to establish stability and term limits of what at least a year or so :D, you can't just riot and overthrow the president every time you get sick of one.

Egyptian Democracy: People get out on the streets, pissed as all hell, demand something and get it.

Western Democracy: Apathy. Apathy everywhere.

You make us proud Egypt.

Hopefully, conditions will be better for Egypt and there will be less instability (I didn't follow the situation in Egypt up until recently, but apparently the economy and living conditions were at their worst, and even if he was elected democratically and that making a coup d'état brings instability, I trust Egyptians it was a necessary evil).

Anyway, true challenge lies when constitution will be reinstated, finding the right people, competent people to guide you through and make you rise. Egypt still has plenty of momentum, don't lose it like Tunisia :) Even in the worst conditions you need to keep hope, keep on walking. The moment you lose hope is the moment the future is compromised. Happy for Egypt and good luck!

Tahya Masr!!!

This. Much of the West takes their democracy sitting down ... and on the couch ... these days.

grazie for the amazing and warm feelings :touched: i'm extremely touched. i'm glad we have recovered our country back, i guess its just going to take a bit to sort everything out as the muslim brotherhood will not give up easily but simply bec they r charged up and are mis-guided by there superior's. sadly these people dont realize they are the ones who are standing up against the army and the people, while the children of there superior's are far away from harms way. hopefully they realize egypt should come before every one and not the brotherhood.

It makes me proud to be an Arab to these Egyptians go to the street and settle for nothing less than they deserve. The days of tyranny and dictatorships, brotherhoods and religious fundamentalism is soon coming to an end. Congrats to all my Egyptian brothers.

I am so glad and proud of my fellow Egyptian brothers for this accomplishment. Morsi was and still remains a cancer, a parasite that must be eradicated from society. Broken promises, lies, and hypocrisy were his specialty. You cannot impose democracy, and America needs to realize this; if it works for you, it doesn't have to work for everyone else. People need to be educated, instilled with knowledge, so they can make sound decisions (and even sometimes they still get it wrong). Allowing impoverished people the right to choose, when clearly some religious bigot can easily brainwash them, or an entrepreneur with some money can buy their votes is regressive and hypocritical.

I do realize that one year was obviously not sufficient enough to judge an individual, but when your economy is going to shit, prices are increasing on a daily basis, people queuing up at gas stations, and with rising unemployment, something had to be done. Religion and politics don't mix, and should never mesh. Progress means leaving religion behind. If you wish to practice your faith, do so on an individual level, but you don't have to impose your outdated ideals on the mass populace.

I am hoping that someone injects Morsi with an HIV infested syringe, and that he dies a slow and painful death. Someday, when he is long gone, people may erect a statue next to his grave, where people can freely piss and defecate on the remains of his corpse.

More than anything, I hope Egypt can put together a constitution with checks and balances that curtail the sort of abuses that Super Morsi felt at liberty to relish in. Better to have limits and other governmental bodies that can censure than to depend on the military to bail things out when corruption happens at the head of state. Because we know that will never happen again anywhere, right? :D

Why diden't the Egyptian people want Mursi? I don't have so much knowledge of the situation. Maby someone could explain to me? Did he want to have sharia law in the countrie? Or what was it the people was against?

so blanket arrests of MB members taking place, news channels getting shut down and their offices being stormed...this part of the peoples' revolution as well?
