It didn't take long; a year from start to finish and Egypt's President Morsi was dishonorably retired from office yesterday.
One day he was in power in the President' Palace; the next day he was under arrest by order of the Egyptian Army.
The West is crying "foul" saying the democratic process has been violated, but if the 22 million who signed the petition to get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood are to be counted, democracy seems to be alive and well. That is ' Democracy Egyptian style'.
The Western brand of democracy is historically twinned with Biblical principles that exhort fair-play and allow a sizable minority to be governed by a slightly larger majority of the population
Not so the Koran. This so called 'Holy Book' stridently demands the overthrow of all powers non-Islamic and establishment of a ruling Caliphate.
Well, welcome to the new order, Egypt. Millions of young people on cell phones, twitter and face-book said:
"Later for the old Mullah's and the old dogmas. Give us a voice and give us a chance and we will show you what it means to break out of the stone-age."
"Later for the old Mullah's and the old dogmas. Give us a voice and give us a chance and we will show you what it means to break out of the stone-age."
May God help them realize their dream.
Jubilate.
