Subscribe to RSSA day after 37 people were killed in protests, chaos erupted among the thousands who walked to mourn them. Meanwhile, President Morsi declared a state of emergency. NBC's Ayman Moyeldin reports.
Seven people were shot dead and hundreds were injured in Port Said on Sunday during the funerals of 33 protesters killed at the weekend. A total of 49 people have been killed in demonstrations around the country since Thursday and Morsi's opponents have called for more protests on Monday.
In a televised address, Morsi said a nightly curfew would be introduced in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, starting Monday evening. He also called for dialogue with top politicians. About 200 people protested in Ismailia after the announcement.
"The protection of the nation is the responsibility of everyone. We will confront any threat to its security with force and firmness within the remit of the law," the president said, adding that he offered condolences to families of the victims of those who died in the cities.
In Cairo the newly appointed interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim was ejected from the funeral of one of the police officers who died during Saturday's clashes in Port Said, according to witnesses and police sources.
State television said seven people died from gunshot wounds on Sunday. Port Said's head of hospitals, Abdel Rahman Farag, told Reuters more than 400 people had suffered from teargas inhalation, while 38 were wounded by gunshots.
Gunshots had killed many of the 33 who died on Saturday when residents went on the rampage after a court sentenced 21 people, mostly from the Mediterranean port, to death for their role in deadly soccer violence at a stadium there last year.
A military source said many people in Port Said, which lies next to the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula, possess guns because they do not trust the authorities to protect them. However it was not clear who was behind the deaths and injuries.
In Cairo, police fired teargas at dozens at protesters throwing stones and petrol bombs in a fourth day of clashes over what demonstrators there and in other cities say is a power grab by Islamists two years after Hosni Mubarak was overthrown.
In Ismaila city, which lies on the Suez Canal between the cities of Suez and Port Said, police also fired teargas at protesters attacking a police station with petrol bombs and stones, according to witnesses and a security source there.
The protesters accuse Morsi, elected in June with the support of his Muslim Brotherhood group, of betraying the democratic goals of the revolution. Most of the deaths since Thursday were in Port Said and Suez, both cities where the army has now been deployed.
The violence adds to the daunting task facing Morsi as he tries to fix a beleaguered economy and cool tempers before a parliamentary election expected in the next few months which is supposed to cement Egypt's transition to democracy.
Deep rift
It has exposed a deep rift in the nation. Liberals and other opponents accuse Morsi of failing to deliver on economic promises and say he has not lived up to pledges to represent all Egyptians. His backers say the opposition is seeking to topple Egypt's first freely elected leader by undemocratic means.
Heba Morayef of Human Rights Watch in Cairo said a state of emergency reintroduced laws that gave police sweeping powers of arrest "purely because (people) look suspicious".
"It is a classic knee jerk reaction to think the emergency law will help bring security," she said. "It gives so much discretion to the Ministry of Interior that it ends up causing more abuse which in turn causes more anger."
The opposition Popular Current and other groups have called for more protests on Monday to mark what was one of the bloodiest days of the 2011 uprising.
On a bridge close to Tahrir Square, youths hurled stones at police in riot gear who fired teargas to push them back towards the square, the cauldron of the uprising that erupted on January 25, 2011 and toppled Mubarak 18 days later.
"None of the revolution's goals have been realized," said Mohamed Sami, a protester in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday.
"Prices are going up. The blood of Egyptians is being spilt in the streets because of neglect and corruption and because the Muslim Brotherhood is ruling Egypt for their own interests."
Clashes also erupted in other streets near the square. The U.S. and British embassies, both close to Tahrir, said they were closed for public business on Sunday, normally a working day.
The army, Egypt's interim ruler until Morsi's election, was sent back onto the streets to restore order in Port Said and Suez, which both lie on the Suez canal. In Suez, at least eight people were killed in clashes with police.
Many ordinary Egyptians are frustrated by the violence that have hurt the economy and their livelihoods.
"They are not revolutionaries protesting," said taxi driver Kamal Hassan, 30, referring to those gathered in Tahrir. "They are thugs destroying the country."
Call for dialogue
The National Defence Council, headed by Morsi, called on Saturday for national dialogue to discuss political differences.
That offer has been cautiously welcomed by the opposition National Salvation Front. But the coalition has demanded a clear agenda and guarantees that any agreements will be implemented.
The Front, formed late last year when Morsi provoked protests and violence by expanding his powers and driving through an Islamist-tinged constitution, has threatened to boycott the parliamentary poll and call for more protests if its demands are not met, including for an early presidential vote.
Egypt's transition has been blighted from the outset by political rows and turbulence on the streets that have driven investors out and kept many tourists away. Its currency, the pound, has steadily weakened against the dollar.

Isn't Obama's Arab Spring wonderful?
Good point steve, because obama is the one who started the uprisings.
Dummy.
Furthermore, your (sarcastic) comment above is in complete disagreement with your comment below (#2). Typical TeaTard double talk.
"The Republican Party has become the party of stupid"
Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) LA
"The Republican Party has become the party of stupid"
Has become????? Has been for at least 12 years now!!
Perhaps Obama will send them some more tanks and planes....some more weapons.....this is so much better than the Mubarak government that Obama urged them to overthrow....Right???
Morsi using Mubarak's tactics which failed.
Time for "Egyptian Arab Spring II".
Silence from the Department of State. Maybe Ambassador Rice will expound on this issue later today.
Rice is waiting for instructions on what to say...as she always does....Her voice is attached to Obamas puppet strings.
Well, so much for the Arab Spring, and our support of it. Another foreign policy victory for the Administration, and for George Soros' Open Society Institute, whose tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) "grass roots" organizations very likely coordinated and twitter-initiated the well-covered, well-coordinated, well-propagandized uprisings. Anyone remember the burka-clad woman speaking directly into the camera in near-perfect English saying how excited she was? I'm sure she spoke for the bulk of women who look forward to a life of chattel slavery, only to pass it along to their daughters, under Sharia Law. Wait, maybe that would work for American women as well...
Just another huge disaster of the Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama foreign policy.
Now Barack wants to buy (with our money of course) Morsi sixteen F-16s.
Can you say............CANCEL!!!
HILLARY...............Where the hell is that reset button?
BTW........just for the record........Hunt......you misquoted Jindal......but that is not to be unexpected by those paid by the DSP.
John Hunt & Anti-Stupidity
I wouldn't go around saying the Republican party is so stupid when they were against the Arab Spring because the Arab Spring was really behind the scenes being run by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Democrats are the ones saying no it ain't so here!
Caljam
Remember, Hillary is following the Obama direction, not her's.
Um it was the BushII administratoin's plan as to why the went into Iraq(beside to get oil)...To make Democracy cascade and spread through the whole region Arab region. Well guess what repubtard...it worked and now we have the democracy that you don't want and want to spin this as Obama mess, lol....that's rich. Nice try, do not pass go, do not collect your $200....Have a nice day in spite of yourself:)
Well, that didn't take long. I KNEW it would be "BUSH's FAULT" sooner or later. How long has GWB been a civilian back at his ranch in Crawford? Didn't the Arab Spring happen on Prez O's watch, and possibly orchestrated by his Administration? How 'bout our very own USAF getting target/bombing practice in Libya in support of the highly covered, well coordinated "Arab" Spring AT OBAMA'S DIRECTION? Stop smokin' so much GONJA, dude!!
MarsNW, PLEASE don't say Prez O doesn't bear responsibility for this AND "It's Bush's Fault" in the same paragraph. The logical inconsistency makes my head hurt...
From the Republican platform
"We recognize the historic nature of the events of the past two years – the Arab Spring – that have unleashed democratic movements leading to the overthrow of dictators who have been menaces to global security for decades. In a season of upheaval, it is necessary to be prepared for anything. That is true on the ground in the Middle East, and it will be equally true in the next Administration, particularly with a new President unbound by the failures of the past.We welcome the aspirations of the Arab peoples and others for greater freedom, and we hope that greater liberty – and with it, a greater chance for peace – will result from the recent turmoil."
So...now your against it?
Morsi is in a world of camel dung now. The people of Egypt booted out Mubarek(sp) for his dictatorial ruling Then they voted in Morsi and things got worse.
If anyone thinks that giving them tanks and F-16 fighters now is a good idea I would have to say they are nuts.
We need to stay out of Egypt. No good can come from the U.S. supplying arms to both sides of a war. Mind you I said supplying not selling. Obama already forgave Egypt of their debt (2 billion I think). Now this administration wants to get involved in a race war? Oh well I guess he can blame that on Bush also.
Ho hum DB is back. Who cares. By the way it was your party's shining star Bobby Jindal who said "The Republican Party has become the party of stupid". Just agreeing with your party's shining star. I remember watching him say it just a few days ago.
Party of dumb would be the dems. It was the lack of leadership from this
administration that helped this moron and his party get into power. WTH are you people smokin?
Oh yeah, Dumbama's Arab spring....ha, ha, ha! He and Morsi, another Muslim fu_k loser. Bomb that part of the world back to where they like to be and are comfortable.
Stone age
Barack Obama - Wearing his pants "easy access"
Such an idiot - sending fighter jets and hundreds of tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt - even after the $450 million he sent them last year - and after their people were throwing shoes and tomatoes at Hillary
We know who's driving this Crazy Clown Car - Barack with Chuckles Biden riding shotgun - and Hillary in the back seat reading the map
"What difference at this point does it make?"
Incompetence and failure - leading by excuses and using the Bush BandAid for cover - pathetic and sad

Oops I also misquoted Jindal, here's the exact quote
"We've got to stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican Party that talks like adults,"
http://news.msn.com/politics/la-gov-jindal-gop-must-stop-being-stupid-party?ocid=ansnews11
Angry Egyptians recently pelted Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton's motorcade. Her reaction: "I want to be clear that the United States is not in the business, in Egypt, of
choosing winners and losers, even if we could, which of course we cannot."
However, is this true? According to Investor's
Business Daily, the Obama administration did, as it picked and colluded with
the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, the administration favored Islamists over
secularists, and helped overthrow Mubarak, the reliable U.S. ally, who had outlawed the terrorist Muslim
Brotherhood and honored the peace pact with Israel.
Today, Egypt
has a Muslim Brotherhood hard-liner president (Mohammed Morsi), and there are
more calls for the destruction of Israel. There are new fears that
the regime will invite al-Qaeda back into Egypt
and open up a front with Israel
along the Sinai.
Who helped the Muslim Brotherhood gain control? Clinton's own department and the White House helped train the Brotherhood during Egypt's elections, selling out Israel and U.S. interests in the Mideast. Even more troubling is the untold story of how
the Obama administration secretly helped bring Islamofascists to power.

Obama has divided the usa
How do you have access to the "secret" actions of the administration, did you bug the oval office or were you in classified meetings to this effect. What are your sources of these secret actions, are you exposing state secrets, which would make you a traitor, no better than Bradley Manning.
It makes me CRAZY knowing the Obama Administration gave Egypt how many US F-16 Fighter Jets.
Billions of money as well. Morsi is a Turncoat; a Dictatorship and a Killer.
What?---Why give more ammunition for Morsi to spread his Muslim Brotherhood against other Democracy's; or let the F-16 Fighter Jets Hi Intelligence Information be sent or studied to other Enemy Nations!--Iran's tongue is hanging out; panting waiting for the information--so they can wipe out some of the Western Society Nations!
I am stunned at Obama's lack of responsibility to protect us from other rogue Enemy Nations as the President of the United States--Egypt is the Enemy, a real Enemy now--Does he sympathize with US enemies in the Middle East/North African Nations---that is the real question.
Does "O" Pledge Allegiance to the United States to protect all people and our Country--Madness--
Ask VP Biden!
Marchant
Perhaps all is not as it seems.
Let's see now - Mubarak is in prison because some protestors were killed during his regime that lasted decades, and now dozens of protestors have been killed during Morsi's regime in just a few months.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Antistupidity "The Republican Party has become the party of stupid"
Uh, the current President is a Democrat, and all of this mess is happening on 'Obama's watch'.
Obamalogic: Supports civilian uprising in Libya,Egypt, Syria,
Asks why any civilian would need an assault rifle.
Epic fail
Roy, correct...All of the leftists in this country could not wait to agree on how evil Mubarak was(even though Egypt had made great strides) as soon as Obama signaled his invitation for the overthrow, our left was automatically the enemy of Mubarak. Before that he had been our friend and ally. Many of our citizens had jobs in Egypt...not now....
MarsNW "Um it was the BushII administratoin's plan as to why the went into Iraq(beside to get oil)"
Um - we get almost none of our oil from Iraq. So much for the claim that we 'invaded Iraq for their oil'.
J.A-522495 "as soon as Obama signaled his invitation for the overthrow, our left was automatically the enemy of Mubarak. Before that he had been our friend and ally."
With 'friends' like Obama, who needs enemies.
I can see why Pakistan is negotiating with the Taliban - for when the Americans abandon Afghanistan to the enemy.
Since most of the Arab countries that have rebelled are coming under the control of radical Islamist militants who demand a return to the dreary 'Islam of the 6th Century', perhaps a name change is appropriate.
Perhaps the "Arab Winter" is more accurate.
This had almost nothing to do with Obama. It was a country with a brutal dictator (Mubarak) who our country backed, for the sake of stability and peace in the region, long before Obama was in office or even running for it. He was vice president of Egypt in 1975, and was made president, of Egypt due to an assassination of the former president, in 1981. Again, way before Obama. Either learn your history, or shut up about thing you clearly no nothing about.
Anyways, the point is that Mubarak spent all the money on the military, as many dictators do, leaving the people with nothing and a large force to "keep them in check." But then they rebelled. The revolution would have happened regardless of what we did. Actually, a similar situation happened in Iran where they overthrew a brutal regime we backed for a radical extremist one. We meddled, and we were worse off for it. But that (the Iran one) was long before Obama was even President. We were just doing the same awful foreign policy we've always done. The same thing happened here in Egypt, and would have regardless of whether or not Obama was President because we always react this way to these sorts of things regardless of who is President.
Now Obama may not be your favorite President. He isn't mine. But he has nothing to do with Morsi or the Muslim Brotherhood. The United States is just trying to work with Morsi and respect the "choice" of the Egyptian people, for the sake of stability and peace in the region. The same exact reason why the United States backed Mubarak since at least the 80s. The "leaders" of our country in both parties have voiced concerns about Morsi, but he is Egypt's "leader" (for now) so they have at least tried to work with him. As for how we can point to our bad foreign policy, that has gone back, again, long before Obama was in office. We have been doing s**t like this for years in foreign policy. And every time we say we are going to change our foreign policy, we wind up doing the same dam things anyways. This goes back long before Obama, Bush, Clinton or even Carter. Heck, you can point to how we treated the Native Americans as the beginning of this mess, which was basically when we got here. Although that isn't technically foreign, and we no longer eradicate people who don't attack us first, we still do much the same kinds of crap we always have since before we were even a country. But again, it all started way before Obama got here.
That only leaves Morsi himself, who ironically is going to wind up spending money on the military like Mubarak did, and has already declared himself "temporary" Pharaoh. Now I don't blame the people of Egypt, savage as their mobs are (although that's a different issue) against woman, for voting in this obvious dictator and his Muslim Brotherhood. I say this because quite frankly they had no choice. It was either him, or Mubarak's remnants. And obviously, they weren't going to vote for what they just overthrew. It was a lose-lose situation, stuck between a rock and a hard place with no good options. There was even an outcry among much of the public of Egypt that they didn't have any fair choices. So in the end, despite many protests, they voted for the evil they didn't just have a revolution to get rid of. And now they are, ironically, back to where they started. Now again, they are rebelling against a dictator. But I ask you, what choice did they have? None.
The only thing we (the United States) could have done, is provide Egypt with better options. But every time we try to put up or support a new foreign government up ourselves, it turns into a disaster cause they don't trust us and because we quite frankly suck at it. So this administration decided to let things play out, and it turned out worse than if we had meddled, at least short term, due to opportunistic extremists in the region. But if this revolution is successful, and they not only overthrow Mubarak and get a decent choice to vote for without corruption to stop it, Egypt may be better off as a result in the long term. Although quite frankly, I wonder if such an unstable region can even do half of that. Either way, it would have turned out bad.

If Romney was in he could just shake his etch a sketch and change everything happening in the world. His far reaching ability to make every member of every nation in the world do as he wishes would be unprecedented. He would control the thoughts and actions every member of every nation on the planet. To bad everyone doesn't have magic underwear and a phone booth with Lois Lane waiting in the wings.
GodOfFate
Well said, couldn't agree more.
But why would people look at the facts when they can resort to partisan mud slinging.
Just like Egypt we also had 2 @!$%#ty choices, Obama or Romney, we ended up with the better of 2 lousy choices.
Antistupidity,
True that. I'm an Independent and not thrilled about Obama, but my gosh even the Conservatives didn't like Romney. That's why they kept desperately looking for other nominee's in a hope they would find someone better. And they couldn't. The cycle before that, I was all set to vote McCain and he picked Palin as his VP candidate. I think that is around the time he stopped being considered an honorable man by the public. Is it any wonder the Republicans lost to Obama twice? As someone who lived in Massachusetts while Romney was governor, I can tell you I flat wouldn't vote for him over just about anyone. The GOP simply couldn't field a decent candidate.
The sad thing is the GOP still wonders what's wrong with their party. Well, between that and all the radicals they now cater to who only seem to know how to blame Obama for everyone's problems.
I may not be thrilled with him, but you can't simply blame Obama for everything like stevephoenix-4019717 here, and also not give him credit for anything. It doesn't work like that double standard, and that is a very radical and ignorant view. I believe they also call that crying wolf. Even the President of the United States doesn't control everything. I would argue this one has a hard enough time trying and failing at controlling or "compromising" with congress, let alone the rest of the world. And now when Obama is actually at fault, well many people don't believe the Republicans because so many people have made so many downright silly accusations on him. Don't cry wolf or you lose your credibility. It's not hard to understand.
GodOfFate
I used to like McCain but lost faith in him before he chose Palin, to me he changed when Bush got into office. Up till that time he was willing to work across the aisle and get things done, then he just turned very partisan, at this point I wonder if he even has a rational thought anymore. As far as Obama I am not thrilled either, the press propelled him in his first run, we could have had better. DB and many others on the right assume you have to be an extreme liberal if you don't agree with them or support Obama in any way on anything. I have debated DB before and am just tired of wasting my time. I wish the Republicans would stop being so partisan and beholden unto big business so we could start moving the country forward again. This constant partisanship and obstructionism is hurting the country so badly, and it leaves little option for the left to do anything except hold a partisan line. In the end the country and the people are the big losers.

Here the seventh century Sunni Islamic one-way traffic haters and killers go!
Sane Egyptians should kick out each and every one of the Sunni Muslim Bloodhound from its soil!
Otherwise, there will be only tears and bloods all over Egypt and Israel.
you guys on here cannot honestly excuse obama for this mess. and it's no conspiracy theory either. he backed the muslim brotherhood in their overthrow of egypt,period. denying it doesn't change it.the fighter jets were promised to the OLD goverment as they WERE OUR ALLIES. during bushes war, egypt and libya "had our backs", funny how bushes 2010 date of withdrawal is accredited to obama now,and our "allies" have both been overthrown with the help of our "current administration",no? after 2010? afghanistan would not have been an issue had clinton not turned his back on them in their time of need(they were US friendly after we aided them in removing the russians,no?)
Obama fail.
He will arm the Egypt's militias with TANKS, F-16'S, M16's and all the while ban them from Americans.
No, crack open a history book, Reagan used the Afghans and then turned his back on them, there was a whole presidential term of Bush 1 between Reagan and Clinton.
I guess facts don't really matter. I don't really care for Obama(who I believe is better than Romney) but at least place the blame where it actually belongs, the history is what it is you can't rewrite it to fit your arguments and agenda. I don't like sending F16's and tanks to Egypt now, but we aren't privy to what the agreements say nor do we know if we may be sending defective equipment, use your brains to do more than spout partisan hatred. F16's and Functional Tanks have never been available to the general public, M16s and military M4's have not been available to the public since 1986 under the Firearm Owners Protection Act.
If any president had the ability to control a countries populace, every country in the world would be under our control, no president can control the actions, thoughts and desires of the Egyptian, Syrian, Israeli, Chinese, Russian, Mexican, Canadian, or even the US's populace. If they could we would all be Obama lovers.
Let the Muslim vermin self-destruct.
Self destruct, just like the TeaTards and the GOP. Like Bobby Jindal said, the GOP has become the party of stupid.
I agree, let's stay out of the Middle Eastern countries and let them all kill eachother off. That way no one can blame us, we all knew it was going to happen eventually anyways.........
John Hunt
Bobby what? I wish he would "formally" switch parties....
They are going to end up blaming the Jews no matter what happens.
Well sadly these democrats have been attacking the Republicans and Tea Party. Although how it is their fault after obama said this government is what the Egyptian people want. Now they don't want them much like we don't want obama.
Stevephoenix, I would heartily agree except the Coptic Christians, and the innocent Muslims will get slaughtered if the poke their heads out of hiding.
GTCowboy,
The Muslim Brotherhood was pulling all the strings in the background, the whole time. They suckered the rest of the Egyptians in over a commonly distastful regime.
(AP Jan 22 2012) Sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks are being given to the Muslim Brotherhood controlled Egyptian government under a foreign aid deal.
"It is appalling that the Obama administration would send F-16s and 200 military tanks to Egypt in the wake of the instability, [and the] anti-American and anti-Israel atmosphere," Rep. Louie Gohmert, (Texas)
Many worry that arming such a volatile Egypt will endanger Israel and an already unstable Middle East.
@ BB Akron,
"The Muslim Brotherhood was pulling all the strings in the background, the whole time. They suckered the rest of the Egyptians in over a commonly distastful regime."
Not entirely true, but mostly. The differences are that Mubarak was a dictator who needed overthrowing, and that the Muslim Brotherhood didn't show up in this way until a bit later.
As for Mubarak, the difference between him and other dictators is that we (the United States) backed Mubarak for the sake of stability and peace in the region despite the effect of his rule over Egypt on the people of Egypt. But his regime did need overthrowing and was quite corrupt and unfair to his people. While there were worse in the region (like Syria), that doesn't mean Mubarak's regime was good by any means. You can't blame the people for revolting against Mubarak, as through the poor treatment of the people by Mubarak's "government" eventual revolt was inevitable.
I also don't believe the Muslim Brotherhood started pulling the strings until after they saw their opportunity through revolt. I say this because Mubarak's regime simply had too strong a hold on the region. There was no way they could have infiltrated a military regime like that. They took their chance after the regime was weakened somewhat by the revolution. That is when the Muslim Brotherhood really started pulling the strings. It was more of an opportunistic response than them being behind the whole thing from the start.
But you have the gist of it right.
Obama and Hillery embraced and supported this without that it would not have been, so this is what you supported, so go stand in front of the mirror until you implode from your overwhelming intelligence, or lack of. Mubarak was our alley that was supposed to mean something, apparently you all missed that part, when Obama told our alley to back down and surrender and never even offered him sanctuary, if that is not a knife in the back what is. Obama has thrown more people under the bus then anyone in history, some more then twice (Hillery) and his friends and aids at that,. hell he is still shoveling pieces of Bush under there. 4 more for nothing, not a thing remaining.
You are right.
But watch the games seventh century Sunni Islamic barbarians play in 21st century!
"Morsi said a nightly curfew would be introduced in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, starting Monday evening. He also called for dialogue with top politicians. About 200 people protested in Ismailia after the announcement."
One can have dialogues with humans.
Seventh century Sunni Islamic barbarians have never kept a word, deal or pact since the birth of Islamic cult.
Who will be dumb to have dialogues with seventh century Sunni haters and killers, Muslim Bloodhounds and their front cover, Morsi?
Is Obama happy now?
Is Michelle Obama finally proud to be an American?
Why is he arming Egypt to the teeth?
The same reason America has always given supposed allies billions in stipends and weapons as gifts. . .to protect Israel from everyone on the planet so that Jesus can land there when He returns there on His flying horse, of course. Well, that and expanding our empire and oil interests. You really don't get it, do you? Why don't you use Google and research the history of America's "gifts" to allies under every administration that ever existed. You just might lean something.
Islam showing its true colors. Riot with political overtones, what the heck, lets hang 21 of the visitors involved and have the locals go.
Obama has let so many of these lunatics in our country and he is going to give them citizenship so they can bring in all their relatives. Every day that headlines show what Islam and its followers stand for - murder and mayhem - they have no place in the civilized world.
Neither do ignorant TeaTards like yourself.
Other than saying something intelligent you can only come up with stupid remarks. You are a moron an't you boy.
You're the same fool who has defended Islam & the Muslim's every time a disaster happens. If you think Islam is so great then you should move there, no you won't will you boy.
Wasn't it the Bushy boys kissing the hand of the Saudi Muslim leader, who is kissing who????
Hears your STUPID SIGN! Many of are professions happen to be
Arab, some "Muslim" some not, you idiot! Tell me genius, with all
the Muslims (Arabs) Egyptions in this case, who are all ready in this country,
why do you suppose we don't have so much violence here in the U.S?
That's because they, themselves aren't violent. You don't live in those
countries and don't know what your talking about, I Don't know much either.

Was not Morisi and the Muslim Brotherhood fully supported by Mr. Obama? The Muslim Brotherhood is after-all an all inclusive group that harbors NO ill will towards any other religious belief or peoples, aren't they?
Oh and isn't it this very same group which we are now arming with some of the most potent and modern weapons currently being deployed by own own forces?
So, President Obama, WHO will you support this time? The people who actually want REFORM and a DEMOCRATIC form of government? Or the same people that have vowed the destruction of Israel and eradication of the Jewish people as you did in the past? The same people that effectively stole the election the last time through intimidation and threats?
Our government is also giving away F-16's & billions of our dollars so that the brotherhood can use to suppress it's own people. Too bad that the people aren't allowed guns. Maybe they could protect themselves. you are looking at our future if we continue to allow our government to slowly strip away our rights & liberties. I wonder when they will look to do away with any weapon that will kill you just as dead as a AK-47 or a AR-15. Say like a 30-30 or a 30-06.
Obama is a figurehead. Nobody elected him for results. Glad we got this token kid out of the way. Soon we may transition to a leader that will put Americans first in every decision.
the muslim brotherhood and hamas are related. hamas broke off from the brotherhood in the 50's. A few months ago when hamas was firing rockets into Israel, hamas was hoping their ex brothers would come to their aid. Unfortunately the muslim brotherhood decided to sit that one out.
XDm9mm, sounds like our election here, especially your last line. SEIU, New Black Panthers, anyone??
These people make 2 bucks a year. What else would there be to do over there. With economies like that, who needs enemies.
The Egyptian people are just like those here in the USA they elected the devil and now they are all his...
You're so right! DogGONE that George W. Bush who crushed our America The Beautiful and our entire economic system with record spending on unpaid for wars, and who signed into law The Patriot Act and released the proverbial Krakin in the form of surveillance on average American citizens. How 'bout that TSA, huh? Crackpot job they're doing, right? Yep, that George is a little devil alright.

I bet your eyes are brown, Because you are full of it... LMAO
What you wrote was in the LIB PlayBook BEFORE the election... I think you should request a New and Improved one...
and how about that "constitutional lawyer" resigning that law,keeping it on the books huh? shouldn't this smurt man have repealed that? bush was a dummy but this guy in office should have known not to sign that,no?
Dealing with Islam is like watching stupid over and over and expecting a different outcome. This is a culture and a society that cannot govern. Every time there has been stability in this region has been due to some dictator of period of colonial control.
thats because arabs can only be ruled by a dictator. They have not come far enough forward from the 8th century to have democracy work. They can only be controlled by totalitarian rule. Either a king, a dictator, or an islamic state. The arabs ran with the nazi's in WWII and learned a lot. make an enemy that is the cause of all your problems and then teach hate. Works well. the arab sheep run around frothing at the mouth. Kinda like liberals. Also note the number of goosestepping armies in the area.
Yeah, that's rich. Americans deriding Arabs for their efforts to create a true Democracy without the influence or overpowering of any religion while, back here at home, we've got a bunch of Religulous Wing Nuts threatening us with guns, sedition and treason, all the while destroying civil rights, women's rights and doing everything in their power to ensure that we do it all their way. . . the Theocracy way. Yeppers, that is rich.
No, the culture is one of he who is most ruthless rules. Everyone else typically just wants to stay alive and live in peace.
It is nice to see them wanting democracy, but they don't understand who can and cannot be trusted. Like we are any better, we blindly trust the democrats as a whole.

When was the last time you had a gun pointed at you? Had Fire Bombs thrown in your street...
Like I said in an earlier post to you...
Get a New Lib PlayBook, PLEASE????
IT is hard to believe that Muslims are taught to hate so much and even kill their own kind. I bet they wished they had their dictator back.
Just like American Right Wing Christians who hate everyone that don't believe their bat guano dogma, and who wish they could have Shrub back in office signing The Patriot Act into law, ordering intelligence and defense agencies to spy on American citizens via email, cell phones, wire taps, etc., all without a judge's court order or any evidence as to "probably cause, and starting a war in Iraq based on a boat load of lies and putting the cost of said war on the credit card of We The People and the current administration. Yep, just like peas in a pod. . .Christians and Muslims, that is. For the record, not every Arab is a Muslim, Chas. I KNOW! The other dolts who've never read a history book in their lives couldn't believe it either!

Get over the right wing crap! Obama fought what little Bush asked for and demanded even more than Bush even thought to ask for.
To see it differently is to follow the lead of the left hook, line, and sinker.
Go troll someone else, DB Akron. I'm not into "conversion" because I'm not a Right Wing crap spewer. .er. . .sewer. . .either word will do.
Asknreceive, and we conservatives are the HATERS?? You forgot to apply that label to those YOU hate.
OBTW, don't know if you've ever read Stephane Courtois, et al, eds. "The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression" [Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1999]. They outline the 100 MILLION or so people slaughtered in the name of Marx's political atheism. Early in Prez O's first term, the White House communications director caught some well-deserved scruitiny for her statement that Chairman "Yes I butchered 60-85 million of my own people to stay in power" Mao Tse Tung was her "favorite political philosopher..." How peaceful and charitable was that? Yep, atheism is definitely "the religion of peace..."
Davey
The only thing he/she has read is the OLD Volume of the Lib's Play Book... "What to say on the internet to get yourself noticed"
Askandreceive wow are you on the Dems payroll. How in the world could you have any faith in the Dems? Do you not remember Carnivore, predator, or echelon? What's the new program Obama has the NSA working on? Open your eyes please. What group is currently responsible for censorship? Go to a college campus see what group are dictating how people act.
It boggles the mind...
no you're definately not a right wing crap spewer, you're just a crap spewer period.
Children Children. Please stop acting like Politicans. This is a long running show and we all know what the ending will be.
This will be coming to America soon so be prepared to defend your Family and Home. We have that right under the second Amendment
We won't have any guns to protect our families with,but don't worry John Kerry will fix everything.
We won't for long. dims are determined to take away all guns....1st steps being taken as we speak.....

We have plenty of our own hate teaching over here. Democrats continually teach hate republicans basely claiming they are stupid, racist, bigots, homophobes, Fascists, nazi's, and women haters. Republicans teach that the Democrats are the stupid ones, communists, socialists.
Egypt's version of "executive order" when the president wants it his way!
Obama is showing them how to use "executive order" in the USA, so they are following suit. Remember Stalin, Hitler and other world leaders did the same.
Do you object to executive orders in principle, or just when they are signed by Democrats? Are you also comparing the two Presidents Bush, President Reagan, President Nixon, etc. to Hitler and Stalin?
Beagle, no one objects to executive orders PROVIDED they are not for powergrab purposes.
Look at Clinton, none of his executive orders claimed take authority when some event occured.
Bush had 1, which occured in the case of civil unrest (over the possible financial collapse) he would have the ability to request the use of the national guard to calm unrest.
Obama has
-Expanded on Bush's to include the use of the US Military
-In the case of an attack or unrest, Obama would take authority over the Internet
-Used Presidential executive orders to create czars
-although not an executive order, he appointed people he knew he couldn't get through congress in recess appointments even though congress was never in recess. These appointment were ordered dumped by the supreme court this past week.
-he is looking to use executive orders to trump gun laws.
and the list goes on.
OMG. . .how many times must you people be told that President Obama signed Executive Actions, not Executive Orders? Do you even read? Are you capable of comprehending what you read if you can read? Do you know the difference between Executive Actions and Executive Orders? No, I didn't think so. Hint: Executive Actions require review by legislative peers. Executive Orders are just that. . orders. Some people just cannot learn, and although that can be amusing at times, it becomes tiresome eventually . . .like right now, for instance. Good GRIEF!

I should have been more specific. I was speaking to the Executive Actions President Obama recently signed with regard to proposed gun control. That said, since you want to go tit for tat on the issue of Executive Orders and assert that President Obama is abusing his power in that regard, this one is for YOU! Note: I didn't post it all in the form of a freaking book. I just took the link straight from the source and submit it for your review. One of my favorite Bush #2 Executive Orders is the Faith Based Initiative. Clearly, he liked to see Church and State fornicate on a frequent basis. I won't return the favor of calling you a naughty name. That's something Conservatives do when they've nothing left in their very limited arsenal of actual facts. Enjoy the link, sir. You'll notice that Bush #2 signed 58 Executive Orders in his first year of office alone. Talk about a dictator . . .right???
http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/orders/
Declaring emergency in three cities? The whole country is one big accident waiting for a place to happen. Concepts that don't work over time. Islam as a way to run a country, socialism, communism, fascism. All of these need to be on the trash heap of failed ideas.
Many people here admire those failed forms of government.
Wasn't it the communication director of the Administration who said Chairman "Yes I butchered 60-85 MILLION of my own people to stay in power" Mao Tse Tung was her "favorite political philosopher?"
These days, any totalitarian philosophy is fair game, as long as Dems own the White House, and NYC runs the propaganda ministry (OOPS, I mean the fair and independent "on the side of the people" news media...).
luckily you can use the F-16 jets obama just sent you to kill all the infidels!
Billions of dollars in aid to Egypt since the peace treaty with Israel now the Muslim Brotherhood walks in and wiped out a trillion dollars worth of bribe money! At least for the billions we give Pakistan we get to use our Drones to take out a few al qaeda and they shake us down on the transport truck route into Afghanistan. We threw Mubarak under the bus and the Muslim extremist walked into power on the backs of the dead in the streets. Stop all foreign aid until we evaluate what benefit it is to us, quit giving billions to muslim extremist.
Too bad I was hoping to see the Pryamids(sic) one day
when i visited Egypt in the fall of 2010, you could see that change was needed. At that time the people were desperate for the money tourists were bringing into the country. I can just imagine how it is now, with tourists staying away. I know things need to change over there but i think its gone from bad to worse. The people needed some positive change to give them hope. They still haven't seen it.
Middle East problems -- what's new ???
Coming to America SOON !! Much is already here !!!!!
For now...
"The protection of the nation is the responsibility of everyone.
to bad their new constitution didnt get written the same way
making their democracy responciblility everyones buisness
except they wrote out anything that didnt fit with islam
so much of a democracy more like a dictatorship
i thought the egyptian got rid of that one apperantly not
sadsadsad
There can be no democracy in Egypt or any Muslim country. Sharia Law and democracy cannot co-exist.
Neither can a Republic under the constant threat of Theocracy, pursuant to the efforts currently underway by the Religulous Right Wing here in America, bjones. That's why people like me are standing up and speaking out for equal civil rights for all Americans, not just the ones Christianity or The Catholic Church likes. Separation of Church and State is mandatory for our Republic and its Democracy to survive.
Askn, does my freedom to believe constitute a threat to your freedom not to believe? To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, it does me no harm whether my neighbor believes in one God, twenty gods or no god. Disestablishment meant that the federal government, which was created by the states, would not have any one "state sponsored" church, at the expense of the others. Here's a little something from our Bill of Rights:
Amendment I
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html
You may have noticed the ABSENCE of the words "separation" "Church" and "state" in the First Amendment. That phrase comes from President Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association reassuring them that the federal government would not allow another church to infringe on their rights. This same Danbury, Connecticut, is only a couple of miles from the Newtown massacre of innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary, after we have managed to eliminate God from another aspect of the public square. "Elections have consequences..."
Since you're a history buff, you might like a book written by a Notre Dame PhD professor of history at Baylor University. Thomas S. Kidd wrote "God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution" [New York: Basic Books/Perseus, 2010]. Part of his book's thesis is that the American Revolution would not have occurred if it hadn't been for the First and Second Great Awakening, revivals of Christian fervor that swept the colonies during and prior to the 1760's. Maybe you can read a little history for yourself...
There is only one country in the entire region that has education, technology, tolerance for other religions, rights for women, and that country is Israel. The very country that all of the Islamic countries hate. Are they jealous, unhappy that others have education and progress? Why does Iran hate Israel so much? Does Israel make Iran look like a country led by a myopic little pathetic man and the mullah's in their turbans?
Sounds similar here if you think about it.
Isn't there a leader here that continually lambastes the people that achieve something with their lives and wants them to give more to the leeches sucking at the teat of government?
William : Bingo, you nailed it !!!
We call them "red states".
Edge-man, ever question why Republican/traditional-leaning states are called "red states" and the ones run by Democrats (broke, in-debt, hopelessly bungled, robbing the rest of us by federal tax redistribution to keep going) are called "blue states"?
Was it because the Marxist-run NYC-based news media in the 1960s didn't want their true colors (COMMUNIST RED) associated with their cause? Man, these guys are good...
Yes Davey, you are so right on that one.......they jumped quick to avoid any color but red. They are very crafty to avoid calling themselves what they really are. Obama doesnt want to be called a socialist but he obviously is... Their color definitely should have been red. The DSP....Democratic Socialist Party.....that is their true identity.
Right on, edgewatervince. Looks like this particular Newsvine has been swarmed by the Red state "takers", as Paul Ryan so eloquently called them. Shhhh. . .don't disturb their groove. . .just sit back and watch them churn and burn.
Yep, Askn, in a free and "open-minded" society, we can't have anything like an opposing view, can we? We wouldn't want to be like those totalitarian goverments of Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot, would we?
Freedom of expression? First Amendment? NAH, Wouldn't want to disturb the Marxist party line...
take a close look my fellow americans,obama is on an overthrow "that" goverment kick,all the while trying to make it impossible for us to be able to do the same. and people NOT SEEING THAT are NOT ACCEPTING REALITY. BUT it's for our "protection" right? BULL!
The Muslims know that if they push their agenda here in the US, anyone who even looks middle-eastern will be a walking target.
bjones : Uh, why do they push then ??
When you have riots that lead to mass death after court verdicts that render death for past mass deaths, and then mass deaths at funerals for those killed in the riots that occured because of prior mass death, then I think you have a very serious breakdown of society. Only civil war will produce more death than has already happened.
So the State Of Emergency declaration by Morsi is not only justified, but required in order to prevent Egypt from breaking down any further.
Trying to prevent Muslims from rioting is a lot like hearding cats.
Brenda,
Then you apparently have no problem with the implementation of Sharia Law, the subjugation of women, the outlawing of anything non Muslim (which is punishable by death).
Why don't you visit the area and express your views openly. You might even survive till the next morning if you run quickly enough.
Brenda : Duh !!! What you are saying is be a sheep and let your leader cut your throat ?? Or maybe, be a slave as your MASTER puts you in chains ?? Wake up girl !!!
i'm sure we will have a "state of emergency" soon enough.
"The protection of the nation is the responsibility of everyone. We will confront any threat to
its securitymy security with force and firmness"of the egyptian nation? if you think you need a gun to protect you from the u.s. please move to egypt.
mike ; YOU have much more (unfounded) belief in the obama administration than I !!!
Obama and H. Clinton wined and dined the new leader and pressed to have him in place, helping the very people that overthrew the last leader, now those same people are wanting this guy out, in less than two years. Obama sure has a fine track record for telling other countries how to run their government, but he can't keep peace anywhere and even wants to ruin the USA, he is well on his way too doing that also. But hey the majority of puppets, in the USA wanted him back.
Bill.... Take the prise--you nailed it !!!
surprised? not me. egypt in the hands of radical muslims who are antifreedom competely. especailly antiwomen.
You are right on.....it seems to me that the two words...MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD...is a RADICAL PATH towards......DICTATORSHIP. You can "flower" your words to INDICATE.....any other meaning....but....it's STILL a ROSE....BY ANY OTHER NAME.
The two words..."Muslim" and "brotherhood".....are NO different than the words "Hezbollah", "Terrorist", "Al Qaeda", Hamas. etc..........They are a "long way" from Martin Luther King's "I have a DREAM."
When a NATION.....cannot AGREE on establishing a DEMOCRACY......it only means....."That...they cannot TRUST.....themselves"......or each other....on establishing PEACE. Somebody has to RULE SOMEONE ELSE....by FORCE of WILL....or the GUN.
They are probably "thinking" to themselves....MAYBE..just MAYBE.......MUBARAK... wasn't SO BAD......after all. Those were PEACEFUL days...."Oh hum"
I was ALWAYS......SUSPICIOUS of those TWO WORDS......"Muslim Brotherhood".....It really means......"RADICAL DICTATORSHIP".
