As Muslim Brotherhood solidifies its grip on Egypt, trouble brews within

Transferring autocratic powers from the military to a democratically elected government can only be good - provided that democracy is preserved and the rights of minorities are respected. The author is (in my mind rightly) concerned that the Egyptian government may be moving slowly but steadily towards a muslim state where muslim principles take priority over minority rights. The present Israeli government widely proclaims its policy of strengthening Israel as a Jewish state, and steady progress in this is evident from the recent spate of laws and proposed laws that trample on the rights of minorities. At least in Egypt there is a strong reaction from the people who feel threatened. Have Israel's minorities already been subdued?

It's hard to believe that Morsi would sack the Western backed military without the approval of the USA - after all, we give them $2.5 billion in aid AND keep their military stocked with parts for their US fleet of hardware. Was Obama's reasoning to go along with this the the fact that the US military is under the command of the President and that a free and democratic Egypt should be modeled after the USA system? It's hard to believe he is so naive, but given his total screw-up with not supporting the 2009 Iranian revolution, throwing Mubarak under the bus, sitting on his hands regarding Syria, and not pressing Turkey on certain well known issues - I'd bet his ideologically driven advisers are responsible. This is going to be a mess for the millions of Christians and other minorities in Egypt and we can expect more negative outcomes of Obama's foreign policy.

Another Bloodshed ? another uprising in the Horizon ?

So Egypt keeps Africa out of an unsolvable conflict, Jordan keeps East Asia out of that unsolvable problem: Turkey keeps Europe out of ssaim Old Problem in Time: with no solution as all Turkey does is keeping it a ME Problem in Time: with no solution all Turks can do is try2manage it .

How is it a takeover, when one takes power from corrupt military and gives it to the people? isn't that democracy? or its only democracy when we see it fit? Believe I don't like the muslim brotherhood as much as any person wanting complete freedom. But I also would not want the military to have so much power and especially a military that is governed my Mubaraks best friends.
