Muslim Brotherhood and its followers had claimed to higher moral ground in its protests, attesting to the divine & tyranny of Egyptians in the guise of 'democracy'.
Thus the solution to their arrogances are not by more bloodshed, as they believe in shedding blood of their misguided followers is the way forward to acheive their JAHILIYYAH way, which was what Prophet Muhammad had tried SO HARD to eradicate amongst his fellow barbaric arabs during his lifetime.
The way:- is to SEAL up Rabba Square. This is already done illegally by private citizens Power Lusting MB with blocks of stone and weapons to prevent the muslim military headed by Gen Sisi to enter.
All the military needs to do is to help ensure that NO more may enter the square. Give them a time frame so that their supporters, the twitter/facebook/media lapdogs can join them inside. And when the time frame is up, no one else will be allowed to enter.
Let those apostates prove their faith to their god Morsi. Let those sinners of SLOTH whom had stained Rabba Mosque, rot there for all they want.
It is their choice. No man must stand between one & his god. This is their faith, then let them be, while the rest and majority of hardworking Egypt continue in peace and progress to live, work and provide for their loved ones.
Water supply, electricity, food, medical aid and all else, even communications will be cut off from those within Rabba square. Their false god will sustain them, such is their faith.
Egypt can live without Rabba Square, as the land of Egypt is big, but cannot live with terrorists and violence. Sealing up Rabba Square is only a small price to pay, than any other alternatives.
Human Rights groups and charity organisations must not interfere between them and their faith, thus they will NOT be allowed in or communications with them.
Egypt respects free will of citizens to sit in and protest, but beyond that, there is no requirement to honor any other requests, more so for a misguided theological belief protest.
They wish to return to 7th century trappings, then let them be. Caliph Abu Bakr knew what to do harshly with heretics and apostates.Thus the apostates of today in Egypt should be glad that they live in a modern and enlightened era whereby choice is respected.
However, anyone who wishes to leave, should be allowed to do so upon humanitarian grounds, upon swearing an oath, with photo and ID taken, to never wage war upon society again and never to return inside the sullied grounds of Rabba stained by MB.
This way, no blood will be shed, as any death will be their own and free will, and none to be blamed except their 'infallible god Morsi.
There are NO other gods except Allah!

Syria: Current strategy
To: FSA Commander & Allies
What happens when a 3 cornered fight happens - Brutal Regime, Cruel ambitious Jihadists and mass population armed Rebellion?
History often gives us mankind lessons to progress and evolve from past mistakes. One of such history relevant for the current situation in Syria would be China during the 40s.
The Chinese Communists were keen to rule China after the overthrow of the Ching Empire and death of China's revolution leader Sun Yat Sing, using Karl Marx doctrines - socialism and using the masses as a strength to win power.
The Nationalist Koumingtang too were keen to rule China, but using american liberalism with further collaboration using rich elites to help control and maintain the masses.
Into this mix came an advance nation - Japan,who was hungry for the immense wealth of China.
The Koumingtang had the best equipment then that USA freely supplied to fight the japanese, while the communists were distrusted by the West and not supplied militarily, nor by Stalin.
When the Japanese Imperial Army invaders came, the 2 chinese groups swore and made noises of banding up to fight the japanese together, to its audiences - the rich and the masses.
But in the end, only Koumingtang, with its superior weapons supplied by the west, was fighting the mighty kamakazie japanese, WHILE the communist under Mao, was led into mountain strongholds to hide, even amongst the villagers, to preserve their troops and arms, discipline indoctrination and trainning given to new recruits found. They did nothing to fight the japanese except for token forces to keep up the illusion for the justification of more arms.
When WW2 ended, the japanese surrendered, and a Koumingtang army DECIMATED from the fight, the Communists plunged down from their mountain hideouts and booted the Koumingtang to the sea, never to return.
What does this lesson holds for the FSA and overseas supporters? May the FSA commanders spend some time meeting up with others around the world to gain better knowledge. War is not just about fighting and killing, but LONG TERM STRATEGY. And knowledge is true power, to progress and evolve mankind egalitarianly.

Egypt: Still stuck at the propagada of coup or REVOLUTION?
The political group -Muslim Brotherhood and a few fools who DARE call themselves 'acadamicians' who teach new generations, continues to claim that it was a military coup against a democratically elected leader.
Wake up.
During the French Revolution, it was the masses who rose up and overthrew the Sun King, but not without military help, Yet it was called a Revolution.
In the fight for the independence of USA against Parliamentary England, it had been the professional military help of the French who supplied arms,tech expertise, citizens and ships to the Rebellion farmers/traders, and called the american revolution, not a coup.
In Egypt, the military are made up of the PEOPLE, and are not foreigners.
The military are supposed to have their weapon pointing outwards, towards foreign enemies, and NEVER meant to point inwards at their own citizens. Thus their refusal to support Pharoh Mursi against their own families, relatives and friends, by offering to point the weapons at the Pharoh as it had done to dictator Mubarack.
Mursi being democratically elected, chose to discard every rule of democracy, seized power and became the dictator with supreme powers, similiar with Khomeni who after the Iranian Revolution of '79, seized supreme ETERNAL power.
The Egyptian masses thus have a genuine concern,for it had happened before and do not want the same happen in Egypt.
Worse, with such powers, he failed to alleviate the pain and suffering of the masses, proving himself incompetent.
Food and security are the basic needs of the population. He and MB failed to get things done. Now, MB called for civil disobedience, but what can MB offer?
It is only capable of false promises, as proven time and time again for decades - death and starvation to all.
Is this what ALL Egyptians want? It's your freedom of choice, just don't regret what you had done to yourself, your loved ones and the nation when you choose for death and outright starvation, not just fasting from sunrise to sunset only.
Millions chosed to boot out the tyrant. Being 'democratically elect' does not mean one has the fullest power to do as they wish. That's not democracy and best MB comprehends it before mouthing yet foolishly on what democracy is. Politics is not as easily misinterpretated as they had done to Islam teachings.
The elephant in the room is the military which many either ignores or dares not speak out.
Mursi failed to reconcillate with them, and instead sought to undermine the military as taught by turkey's PM. Turkey could do it, because PM Erdogan took his time to build up his base - WITHIN govt. Mursi did not, and MB being too ambitious, caused its downfall today.
None likes military rule, as it is often seem as authoritarian and respects no democracy, for it is an organisation built upon principles of survival and pragmatism to get things done, unlike civil organisations whom are based upon idealisms and at times impractical for the short term.
But fact is, in Egypt, the military is well liked and institutionalised, with patronage in every sector of society that sought for growth and stability.
However, it is not dictatorial, in the sense that it often lets civil administrators manage the country the way a Caliph would, until it screws up as Mulbarack and Mursi had done and would not be supported.
With its power and might, they will not surrender easily, more so because they equally are muslims, are moderates and believe fully that they are the final arbitrators between peace and chaos in the land, and had honestly been more a force of good in Egypt, unlike other selfish military forces such as those in africa.
There need NO confrontation with the military, only positive engagement with HONESTY AND SINCERITY, not MB lies, and over time, even a piece of stone can be worn down, as the military junta in Burma had worn down today for the democratic good of citizens.
Mursi and MB were too ambitious and impatient, and thus their fall & failures. The Islamic Noour party seemed to have far better wisdom, sees long term to help Egyptians follow the moral and ethical path as taught by the prophet without antagonizing the military unnecessarily and confrontationally.
Ultimately, ALL parties are only fellow Egyptians - military or politics, and do have common grounds to work on based upon the aspirations of all humankind.
Reconciliation is how an elected adapts to the current system of realities in Egypt if his motives are pure, and work slowly within the system for change, not overnight, but overtime.
There is no need to bang one's head against a wall. The head is not made for that. It is made to think, to plan, to conceptualise and follow through over time.
Politics are not for kids & naive academics who call such post as mine as military apologists. There are only realities one must confront daily, and to make the best of everything to pursue a goal.
When one is dished with lemons in life, the courageous one does not cry or blame others, but makes lemonades out of it for life.
May MB grow up, give up on its human sacrificings and attention whoring theatrics, and rejoin the pratical democratic process if it seeks to pursue a true Islamic agenda, slowly over time as the prophet had taught and done - winning hearts and minds and not by stupid schoolyard tactics and belligerances. Conqest for a paradise on Earth is not going to be easy, as proven by centuries of our human civilisation.
Viva la Egyptian REVOLUTION!

Egypt: Murderers of Egyptians, sunni/shia muslims, christians, etc MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!
Today, MB thugs had murdered christians- children of the book, and claim that they will stop if Pharoh Musi is returned and reinstated as the slacker President.
There can be NO NEGOTIATIONS with these animals, because they will be EMBOLDENED to DEMAND even more if they think they can get away with cold blooded murder and terrorism against innocent civilians, as they had incited foolish MB followers to become body shields for their own climb to personal glory, & NOT glory for Allah, nation and Egyptian Ummah/Community.
They will continue to kill ANY human, as they had tasted blood, the way an animal will never give up after tasting flesh & blood.
They defame Islam and Man, and must be tracked and hunted down, no matter how long it takes, to face justice to show that NONE will be spared if such a road is taken, BUT ONLY them & their masterminds, NO ONE else. Only the guilty must pay, not the innocent.
Every human life is precious and means something special to another, and we each human have only common aspirations - love, peace, justice, equality, shared prosperity, responsible freedom and progress for evolution.
NONE needs to be a human sacrifice for another, or to die so that another may gain selfish aims.
Prophet Muhammad had NEVER shirked from doing his duty as a leader, to give out harsh punishments to those whom proven themselves beyond humanity, such as the betrayals,not to him, but to the Community, such as the time when certain tribes betrayed the campaign during the fight with the Quraysh for Mecca, regardless if foreigner or muslim.
Neither must the authority of the nation - given, supported and trusted with arms and power to protect the Community, shirk from his duty. Those animals must be apprehended ASAP, or only more will happen that will cause chaos and instability to the land.
It is common that after a revolution, there will be minority elements whom will resort to violence upon innocents to get what they want, and will try to get the sympathy card by calling it repression from those who seek for justice upon them, to get international support from the foolish & the ignorant.
But it is not repression & neither must the community be fooled to think such. It is only plain outright intentional murder. A crime is a crime and they must be stopped.
It will need the help of the ENTIRE COMMUNITY as well, as those animals hide amongst us all.
Any father, mother, brother, sister, relatives, or friends of such animals must inform the Ummah of who they are and what they had done, so that actions can be taken to remove them from humanity and face justice.
Let not any of our innocent deaths be in vain, for we would have died for the sake of chaos, and are only victims of a revolution whereby the criminal and the evil hope to win with such murders.
Let our deaths be a greater awareness to the community, so that they be forewarned, be prepared, and not become victims, but be fighters to apprehend them and bring them to justice.
There are more of us than there are of them. We mankind will win in the end.
InshaAllah.

Egypt: Sustainable Economy takes Priority
1. Muslim Brotherhood's continued belligerances is not helping the livelihoods of Egyptian in any way. The constant refrain of demanding Pharoh Mursi's return and reinstatement as President will not help as majority of Egyptians want his power grabbing & incompetence to end.
One year may not be enough to turn the economy around, but with his lies & belligerances, he only made the economy WORSE with neglect, and thus the uprising.
MB claims the revolution is unconstitutional, but since when are revolutions by the PEOPLE ever constitutional?
Some fools claimed that the Pharoh can be 'constitutionally removed, but he refused every constitutional offer to resign, even in the face of facts, with the opposition trying, but all he did was to use the usual MB style of governance - sweet lies, nods of agreement, photo-op, shaking of hands, but once the backs are turned, every promise ignored.
Thus the only way to remove a Pharoh is by a revolution from the People. The military too are citizens, with nation, friends and families to protect, did not support tyrant Mubarack, and will not support Pharoh Mursi either.
2. If anyone cannot find political common grounds to stand on, then economic common ground is what that is left which ALL can stand on - None can survive without resources, no matter how pious one is.
MB had refused to cooperate for the sake of the nation, but as they are only a proven self seeking political party, they have that right to not participate and leave those willing to progress Egypt to do so. They no longer have a right to talk in the Community/Ummah of Egypt.
Egypt needs to move on, as a time table and road map towards stability and democracy after the toppling of a pharoh had been set, to adhere to. The community's livelihood is at stake.
Allah helps only those who are willing to help themselves to progress, not slackers.
Briefly, the FOCUS for the economy now will be:-
A.) Every single pound spent & CIRCULATED must see returns of at least 3 POUNDS, in tangible or intangible form, so that it can be sustainable to roll over for future.
I) Critical Industries Focus
Egyptian youths do not need all expense paid visits to disneyland or Nasa Space Centre, AND NEITHER does pious Muslims need another hundred Madrasahs or Mosques.
ENERGY & WATER industries are where funding should be spent on, as these are needs the Middle East will require for the next 20 years.
Solar energy and water purification/desalination plants require engineers, entreprenuers, investors, technicians and operators. It will create the most jobs for the young and the adults now if the switch to upgrade is made now.
Solar energy depends critically on its storage. All Egypt needs to improve is on such storage capacity of solar panels in order to be competitive to export those panels to local Middle East markets.
Water is the greatest concern in the tropical landmass, and there are initiatives on converting sea, river water into potable drinking water, and even using air - combining hydrogen and oxygen through chemical processes to get water.
It can be done on a large scale as the market for water is HUGE in the middle east, bigger than oil.
Thus, there is a future for generations of Egyptians to diversify and need not depend on oil or normadic culture. Today's Egypt is no longer 7th century Egypt, and will need better improvements in potico - socio-enconomics concepts to progress the larger population mass, not by 7th century style contextual qoutations, but evolution without losing moral and ethical principles.
II) Hospitality:- A major source of great revenue if more creative and innovative improvements are made, with SAFETY of visitors GUARANTEED. Even Muslim Brotherhood need funds to run their party, let alone the millions whose livelihood depends on it daily.
Mess with it, and those guilty will be hunted down and exterminated.
III) Transportation:- discourage unimportant car use in cities as it causes traffic jams and loss in productivity by:-
a. Improving public transportation, such as using mounted cameras on board buses to catch guilty obstructioning vehicles on peak hour bus lanes.
b. Offering better incentives for city inhabitants to ditch car and use the Cairo Metro, such as cash rebates, discount fares, promotions, and even trading activities on the stations to attract passengers and earn revenue for the Metro to give incentives.
c. Set up peak hours toll booth on critical roads, so that only those who need to use those city roads will pay into a govt pool fund for it, WHILE those who don't need and can make arrangements to avoid being on those roads and even get cash incentives from those who do from the pooled funds.
Concept - pay for better travel and those who do not use those roads during the peak hours are not neglected but rewarded for contribution to less traffic jams.
d. Tax incentives for companies with fleet of vehicles IF they use their vehicles productively. You don't use an 18 wheeler truck to send a can of Coke to a customer.
The incentive will help companies to plan better for profits AND not to contribute to traffic jams.
IV) Rural Areas Incentives.
The govt must not ignore rural areas as it will cause discontent if they feel they had been neglected by the govt who focusses only on the cities.
Energy and water are their basic critical needs.
a. Use tech to find more underground reservoirs of water so that they may have access to such and better management for their crops and human uses.
b. China is practically giving away their solar panels, and thus the govt can buy from China cheaply, supply it to the rural areas for their energy needs, and then get back returns by charging them a small fee monthly to make up for the purchase upfront by the govt, which most villagers cannot afford to do so.
This is a cheaper alternative to building costly energy grids to every district and province in Egypt.
With the RIGHT FOCUS, Egypt can get back on its feet quickly, as the people and resources are all ready. The political environment is the only problem, but NOT a hurdle, as it is a COMMON GROUND all can stand on. None can survive without resources.
WIth money circulated from international loans to all Egyptians, the GDP will increase with economic activity and returns will be seen in the treasury as revenues for further future spending such as temporary food and fuel subsidies without taxing heavily upon citizens, but higer tax rates only on successful and rich enterprises, as well as determined govt oversight on corruption
As it is the time for Ramadan, a time of reflection and a time of meeting fellow muslims, it is also a time for sharing, discussion and debating the future of the community for pragmatic solution s to progress and evolve Egypt, peacefully
Praise be to Allah.
One year may not be enough to turn the economy around, but with his lies & belligerances, he only made the economy WORSE with neglect, and thus the uprising.
MB claims the revolution is unconstitutional, but since when are revolutions by the PEOPLE ever constitutional?

Egypt: Political Islam had failed? No, only Mursi & MB had failed
Islam is synonomous with Democracy. Prophet Muhammad left no heir, nor appointed ANYONE as his successor. Imans were only teachers of Koran to the community, and the community was expected to stand on its own by following the moral and ethical guidelines taught.
Ali, who was a good man and his kinsman, was only recommended by him to head the Ummah, when the prophet was near his end. However, he still left it to the Will of Allah, and never did he appointed Ali.
Misinterpretations by the ignorant and ill educated barbaric arabs just turned civilised by the prophet abounds, even until today.
The head of the Ummah, or Caliph-successor of the prophet, or President, is to be elected by the community ( Ummah-all muslims and citizens living in Arabia then)
This is a DEMOCRATIC process.
There were times when the prophet faced mutinies. He did not whip out a sword and cut down his opponents, provoke them or resorted to tricks. He used the force of his persuasion, logic and reason to change their minds, such as the time when he made the hajj to hostile Mecca the first time.
Many muslims could not accept the terms set by the Quraysh of Mecca, but the prophet was not afraid or find it insulting his pride, for he had no self pride, as he long already surrendered his own will to the will of Allah.
His followers were ready to rebel, but the prophet went on his own to comply with the terms, which in no way did it compel him to forsake his religion, but only to forsake his own pride.
He forced no one to follow. But one by one, the rest ashamed, followed, for if the divine messenger can do it, how less can mortals be if they were to subscribe to the faith?.
There were times when even the prophet made mistakes, but he never failed to correct them and progress, such as the time when the new immigrants to Medina created a mess on caravan raids to provide for themselves, he took stock, realized that bookkeepers, shopkeepers, etc needed training, and was given.
During an earlier time in Mecca before his exile, the Quraysh tried to reconcile his beliefs with the pagan beliefs. He agreed, but was questioned by Allah later, and realized his error, and told the barbarians correctly that Islam will not be compromised by paganism.
During his exile from Mecca, he was the arbitrator of the tribes in Yathrib. He reconciled those fighting factions using the moral and ethical guidelines of the Koran and was respected and esteemed.
With new immigrants from Mecca who came to join him, he help and provided for their basic needs.
The prophet did not just feed them words from the Koran on a pedestal, but actually took an active guiding role as a leader to the muslims and a role model for ALL future generations of Caliphs/Presidents/head of Ummah.
The prophet is a divine messenger, but he took pains to explain that he is only a mortal. However, he warned that he is the last divine messenger and no other will come. Anyone else who say himself is another, or claims to have divine messages, is a liar and blaphemous.
All human being are flawed. Mursi IS NOT a divine messenger, or has anything divine. He is but a mortal elected to head the community/nation.
While he is not expected to be of the standard of the prophet, who faced FAR MORE GREATER odds, Mursi is expected to perform at least the basic functions as head of the community - reconcilliate the differing factions and providing for them.
There ARE NO excuses that Mursi can claimed to have inherited great odds. The prophet faced brutal barbarians, warring tribes and desert lands for economy, but Mursi faces only fellow muslims and a rich arable land, with resources and intelligent, capable and hardworking workforce who needed a capable leader to resolve their social and economic issues.
Yet he and the Muslim Brotherhood failed to accomplish anything, except to seize supreme power ( that even the prophet did not do despite his power as a divine messenger to do so,) and only united all factions against him, even muslims.
If he is allowed to continue on, he may even destroy islam in Egypt as he and gang is out of touch with realities and the people, a mistake the prophet never made.
And thus he and MB must go, not to death, but to acknowledge their errors, correct them and try again. Rome is not built in a day, soo too Egypt if political Islam is be practised.
Islam is never meant to be authoritarian, or tyrannical dictatorship. Prophet Muhammad was never one nor had he taught muslims to be such.
Islam is about peace and coexistance with others sharing our world, and a way of life following Allah's moral and ethical guidelines taught by the prophet to convince others with free will to go on a better and enlightened path.
Thus, for any muslim to stray away from democracy, the duties and responsiblities of democracy, acknowledgement of errors to correct oneself and keep the peace, he/she is only committing blasphemy and apostacy.
Let the blasphemous talk of 'democracy had failed Islam' end. Democracy had not failed Islam. Only Mursi and MB had failed Islam, and misused Democracy as they had misused Islam for power.
Democracy, like Islam, is MORE THAN just a name that MB had freely thrashed about. It carries with it responsibilities and duties that must be fulfilled in order to make it work in our flawed world.
If it is not fulfilled, it is not democracy that failed. Only mortal men such as Mursi and MB had failed.
Ali, who was a good man and his kinsman, was only recommended by him to head the Ummah, when the prophet was near his end. However, he still left it to the Will of Allah, and never did he appointed Ali.

Egypt: Reconcilliation and Economy concepts.
The overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood Govt is a Popular Uprising & NOT a coup.
Even though the military was involved, the military are only fellow Egyptians, living in Egypt with their own families from the top general to the general duties soldier, have equal stakes in the nation and have no wish to see Egypt degraded down by a fully obvious inept path for another 3 years, and thus joined in the millions to overthrow the MB govt.
Even if arrested or place in house detention, it is only but a means to ensure NO VIOLENCE occurs during this heated times, for the MB leadership, which had proven belligerent and refused to admit to their inability to meet even the simplest aspiration of Egyptians, may stir up regrettable anger on the streets.
In a short time, they will be released, when things calmed down, and when they can finally face up to reallities, to realize their mistakes, to correct them - NOT for self power or glory, but only for the progress and evolution of the unnecessarily sufferred People, by standing for elections and contributing to the nation again.
The most critical matters to resolve RIGHT NOW TODAY onwards, is SELF RELIANCE & NOT waiting for govts to form up and resolve issues. They are the few and may not be able to reach out to all yet.
We will all starve long before then. We can help one another out right now and take the necessary steps. It begins with you and me, and walk away from BLAME GAMES. We can no longer change the past, but together, we can change the future.
RECONCILLIATION:-
Despite many views that it seemed impossible to bridge the many overwhelming differences each Egyptian has, a bridge DO EXISTS.
It lays in comprehending what each and every Earth born human desires and shares - peace, love, justice, equality, shared prosperity, responsible freedom and progress.
No matter our differences - fundamentalist or moderate, Islamic or secularist, sunni or shia, christian or jew, white or black, rich or poor, young or old, etc, - our basic aims for ourselves and our innocent next generations are the same.
It's these goals that will be the common ground we can all stand on, to climb, progress and elevate ourselves as one race to fulfill our destiny to the stars.
You and I only need to reach out to others, to share those common goals and build upon them further.
However, we must be realistic on human nature itself. It is pointless to share such values with a stranger, espacially in these times, as they are far too clouded by anger to be receptive to ANYTHING from another.
It is far better if we share it with our families, relatives and friends first, and from there, they will share, discuss and debate reaching out to one's society and the nation, and even the world, to make change happen.
If one does not want to listen, there is no need to despair, but only to move on to the next and the next. IF even ONE listens, then our job is done, as one is a exponential number, reaching to others and others.
Today, no one is calling an end to the MB party. Everyone is invited to take part in realistically building up the nation, through better democratic initiatives than the flawed previous ones.
There is no need for belligerance, or intimidation, or violence, or it will only set back the nation for years. Egyptians don't need such pain ever again.
Reconcilliation begins with you and me today, not just from the politicians. The military had done their difficult job, taken on much flak. Now it is up to us to do the easy job, to rebuild Egypt, not by words alone, but by peaceful and honest actions.
Economy:-
1. NO ONE must be without a job. Everyone no matter how high or low, must be gainfully employed, either as salaried person or entreprenuer, so that each can provide for themselves and families.
In this world wide recession now, we cannot depend on others to help us, but us to help ourselves first right now, till the govt forms and social safety nets are set up,
2. Tourism and the Suez Canal are fantastic revenue streams and can be further improved upon, so that more employment be created through better and innovative hospitality service that the Arab People are famous for.
However it needs security, NOT CHAOS, in order to thrive.
This is something ALL political parties can do, to avoid chaos and violence. They too need peace, security and finances, as maintaining an independent political party is NOT cheap, more so with elections comming soon.
If there are no contributions from the masses as they are out of work, there will be no funds to reach out to the many districts and provinces of Egypt to win.
Furthermore, it will be POLITICAL SUICIDE if any party is found conducting violence, as it will take away the food from the table of the voters, and will not only be punished at the polls, but hunted down across time and space to face justice.
As for the fuel and food subsidies, this is something that the new govt - regardless if MB or any other party elected - will need to negotiate with international lenders and investors.
Egypt has a real critical need and cannot stand on its own yet, socially and economically, and need all the help it can get.
Egypt will not surrender its sovereignity, but at the same time, Egyptians are only fellow humans sharing our world & in a time of need. When they are strong and given the opportunity, they can and will pay back. Majority of them too share common values with the rest of our world and the rule of law.
Those subsidies will be cut, but not now. There must be warning first so that its citizens can prepare. A gradual cut over 5 years will ensure that they are prepared and more willing to support those measures, as a new Egyptian govt undertakes to seach for better resources to upgrade and uplift the People of Egypt.
These are not mere words, but a simple fully operational plan for success if adopted, something which Mursi and his advisors FAILED to do in the first year, and neglected the masses. Religion alone is not going to feed the masses. Power for self will only end up in destruction of the nation.
We must not make the same mistakes again, for the sake of the Egyptians - our fellow human brothers and sisters.

Muslim Brotherhood and Mursi fears 'legitimacy' and ballot box ?
Every day for the past 1 year, MB and Mursi had claimed they were 'democratically' elected, they are 'legitimate' and they will shed their blood to protect such 'legitimacy' and 'democracy'-or at least their version of it.
It is true that Mursi had been democratically elected, but how many of the 90 million citizens voted for him? less than 20 million.
We will not quibble over it, as whoever passes the post with the most vote gets to become the 'legitimate' President, and those who did not vote, or voted wrongly due to lack of choice, have only themselves to be blamed.
However, what TRULY matters - is what had he done as a President?
The People did not vote for flower vase. They voted for someone who can resolve the dire situation facing the nation - social and economic issues.
While it is true no MORTAL would have been able to resolve everything, but UNFORTUNATELY, in the case of Mursi, he FAILED to RECONCILLIATE ALL differing groups within the nation, which is crucial as a FIRST task for nation building, for all to set aside differences and work towards common goals all cherish.
He made many promises, which are only hot air as all were not kept. Worse, he seized all power to himself, to approve a constitution not agreed by the nation except by his party, meddled with the judiciary and military, while the masses starved.
For months, he refused to reconcilliate, but preferred to dictate, and blamed others for refusing to work with him when such cooperation meant obeying and following only his orders, and he listens to nothing or only making more hot air promises.
Such will NOT work, even if he continues on for a full 4 year time. He and his party will enjoy the sun, but the masses will starved to death.
And thus, with social malaise and economic woes, it is a no brainer the masses took to the streets. Mursi FAILED to perform, and just like any equal human in a democratic state, he either resigns or be sacked, so that another can take his place
Now that issues had come to a head, a transitional govt is the only option left - to create a basic constitution and define the role and responsibilities of the govt -president, legislatives and judiciary, and then call for proper elections.
The MB and even Mursi should NOT be afraid of new elections, if they TRULY believed in democracy and legitimacy by the vote, and the right of the MAJORITY People to remove those who failed to perform.
As they believe that Mursi is the 'legitimate' President in the democracy, then WHY are the afraid of any further election to prove once and for all that Egyptians loved Mursi and the MB?
They could still win if that's true, unless of course, Mursi and MB had been lying?
However, should the MB decides to WRECK the solution to the crisis by using violence and threats of violence, and even acts of violence upon innocent egyptians, then rest assured - THEY WILL NOT GET A CHANCE TO BE EVEN CONSIDERED FOR ELECTION, BUT BANNED AS A TERRORIST PARTY.
Thus, let there be no more further shedding of blood, or mayrtrs, or any form of violence or intimidation. TRUE DEMOCRACY is meant to avert such. All humans have common goals in life, and need not kill one another, only to find common grounds all can stand upon and share space inclusively for life to progress and evolve, as prophet Muhammad had intended.
( May the MB party tweet to its followers to REFRAIN from ANY violence immediately, and equally too all political parties as well. Anyone who committed act or acts of violence WILL BE hunted down across time and space. There is no where to hide.)

Egypt: The Military ARE the PEOPLE's Army, not the govt's.
The democratically elected President Mursi may claimed to be the Commander-in-Chief of the military forces, but BEST he remembers WHERE his powers came from.
It came from the PEOPLE, the same masses who went to the ballot boxes and now are out in the streets demostrating against him.
What the PEOPLE can give, the People can take back. That's democracy. Respect must be earned before the existance of followers, more so in Islam.
President Mursi may be the commander, but it IS the People that makes up the military, the same voters and the same members of families whom they had sworned to serve and protect, are out on the streets protesting against him.
What President Mursi will end up is only skeleton troops - of officers but without troops, along with the few radical islamists, to challenge the power of the 90 million masses. It need not come to civil war, and must be avoided. All are only muslims and fellow humans who only wants to live in peace and achievement of human goals.
In the year 628, prophet Muhammad was divinely guided to make the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. His followers longed to make that pilgramage, but they were banned by the Quraysh who controlled Mecca, because the muslims had been wrecking havoc on their caravans.
Many fear trouble and death if they go, and chose to stay behind. The prophet had no fear, and knew that it is a confrontation that cannot be avoided if Islam was to gain legitamcy in Arabia - by controlling the city of cities and centre of legal commerce and economic trade - Mecca.
He forced no one, but 1000 followed him. He forbade the carrying of arms, as no arms were allowed in the holy city. Upon reaching Mecca, the Quraysh prepared to go against tradition of never to harm any arab making a pilgrimage to Mecca, armed their forces to strike at the muslims.
The muslims were frightened, but the prophet was not. He sent an ambassador to negotiate, and to show that they carried no arms and meant no harm.
The Quraysh were not mollified, but other tribal leaders disagreed with going against tradition. The prophet and his followers must be allowed in. They won, but the Quraysh set insulting terms for a treaty to the muslims.
The prophet agreed to the terms, but the other muslims were not and was prepared to mutiny against him, espacially impetous and aggressive Uma - one of his 'close companions'-the forerunner of Salufists, Fundamentalists and Jihadists.
The prophet stood alone, but courageously, he led by example, as always, and performed one of the terms of treaty - shaving his head bare. He did so for he had the fullest faith in Allah and is only doing His Will.
The others were stunned, but slowly they followed, and soon all abided by the treaty, and were allowed into the holy city - unharmed. The Quraysh were equally stunned, and awed, that the muslims would accept those insulting terms.
And the rest is history of how the prophet won Mecca, bit by bit and legitimacy of Islam that lasted even today.
If President Mursi wishes for legitimacy for his rule, it would be better if he lead by example - be honest with his promises he made to the voters.
One year had passed and had only proven his promises were hot air, and worse, a nation fully divided.
His words are no longer worth anything and that's why the People are asking for his resignation, as he had done practically nothing and resolved nothing.
Best he resign and let another more capable to form a transitional govt to form and firm up first the constitution, roles and responsibilities of executives, legislatives and judiciaries before any election takes place, unless he thinks he deserves a second chance, this time with meaningful and peaceful actions, instead of Uma's style impestousity, anger and belligerances.
The People need meaningful help and actions, not words. Religion - moral and ethical guidelines are fine, but religion alone is NOT going to resolve economic and social issues, espacially 7th century styled that pit against modern of advances in tech, medical and neuro-science, and social political progresses, after 1200+ years of mistakes and getting up again, resolving never to make the same mistakes again.
Egypt and Egyptians - the first known recorded civilisation with archeological records left on Earth - deserves better than this current misery.
It came from the PEOPLE, the same masses who went to the ballot boxes and now are out in the streets demostrating against him.
What the PEOPLE can give, the People can take back. That's democracy. Respect must be earned before the existance of followers, more so in Islam.

The prophet agreed to the terms, but the other muslims were not and was prepared to mutiny against him, espacially impetous and aggressive Uma - one of his 'close companions'-the forerunner of Salufists, Fundamentalists and Jihadists.
The prophet stood alone, but courageously, he led by example, as always, and performed one of the terms of treaty - shaving his head bare. He did so for he had the fullest faith in Allah and is only doing His Will.
The others were stunned, but slowly they followed, and soon all abided by the treaty, and were allowed into the holy city - unharmed. The Quraysh were equally stunned, and awed, that the muslims would accept those insulting terms.
And the rest is history of how the prophet won Mecca, bit by bit and legitimacy of Islam that lasted even today.
If President Mursi wishes for legitimacy for his rule, it would be better if he lead by example - be honest with his promises he made to the voters.
One year had passed and had only proven his promises were hot air, and worse, a nation fully divided.
His words are no longer worth anything and that's why the People are asking for his resignation, as he had done practically nothing and resolved nothing.
Best he resign and let another more capable to form a transitional govt to form and firm up first the constitution, roles and responsibilities of executives, legislatives and judiciaries before any election takes place, unless he thinks he deserves a second chance, this time with meaningful and peaceful actions, instead of Uma's style impestousity, anger and belligerances.
The People need meaningful help and actions, not words. Religion - moral and ethical guidelines are fine, but religion alone is NOT going to resolve economic and social issues, espacially 7th century styled that pit against modern of advances in tech, medical and neuro-science, and social political progresses, after 1200+ years of mistakes and getting up again, resolving never to make the same mistakes again.
Egypt and Egyptians - the first known recorded civilisation with archeological records left on Earth - deserves better than this current misery.

Egypt needs only 15mins, not neccessary 48 hrs, to get it right
Very simply and briefly, the one who wishes to be the Caliph ( President ) of Islamic Republic Egypt only needs to focus upon the common goals that all human shares - justice, peace, love, equality, shared prosperity, responsible freedom, and progress to evolve the nation to the next level.
Regardless if it is the Islamists Muslim Brotherhood or the secularists egyptian muslims, ALL needs a nation based upon rule of law to grow.
As majority of them are muslims, thus the application of Islamic laws is best suited to them.
HOWEVER, Islam was meant to progress and not regress arabs, as envisioned by the prophet whom had taught civilisation to the barbaric arabs.
The reversion to 7th century laws will not be able to progress the nation now in the 21st century, as the population are no longer uneducated, normadic and living in a barbaric world.
Much of mankind had evolved, through trial and errors, realized the best system of governance is one that is based upon principles of human rights and rule of law.
This was exactly what prophet Muhammad had taught, only that back then, the new converts from barbaric societies did not comprehend what democracy is. BUT NOT TODAY. And thus the widespread demostration by muslims in Egypt.
President Mursi's mistake was that he allowed Koran fundamentalists with their misinterpretations to lead, to return to 7th century style of life which will only destroy both Egypt and Islam.
To be a muslim, it is not enough to be able to read the sacred Koran. One must be able to COMPREHEND its principles, not context, as well as studying the LIFETIME of the prophet on how he succeeded.
The prophet did not meet with success with his first attempts to convert the arabs. Only women and slaves supported his teachings. He had to flee from Mecca when others were against his beliefs.
In the desert, due to his teachings, he was deemed a wise man and was made/elected an arbitar of the many differnt groups with many differences living together as one tribe.
This was the first act as a leader of humanity - the capability to win others respect and making of wise decisions, not for self, but for the whole.
He quickly gained respect and esteem in the desert, and many joined him on his own free will even while back them, breaking off from one's tribe is considered exile, even others from his previous tribe in Mecca, and overtime, he became the leader of a nation who united and civilised the arabs.
The second act he did as a leader was to provide for his expanding tribe - economics.
The harsh land was unsuitable for mass crop cultivation, and robbing caravans was an honest way for survival back, the way bank institutions are allowed to rob depositors today.
It was all done civilly, often with none hurt, and even given water and directions to the next oasis with less baggage to carry.
Many of the muslims then were not trained in such exploits, and thus the prophet had to perform the third act - teach them skills so that they can survive.
Today, there is no need for Egyptians to go into caravan robbing. There is enough wealth and opportunity for all to share. To follow the prophet, it's the PRINCIPLES and not the contextual forms.
There is oil wealth in Egypt, but not enough for all. New citizens are born and they must be provided for with opportunities in life to meet the goals ALL humans aspire.
It can be done, and it lays only in better economic research.
Education is the key, but for the short term and critical need for the massive unemployed adults - upgrading of skills is important now.
They must be taught relevant technical skills to earn a living. Agriculture and mining must be upgraded to ensure max productivity so that with increases, so too will pay be.
Investors can be enticed to invest in Egypt, so long as their principle needs are met - safety, rule of law, skilled and relevant labor operators, and low manufacturing/production costs.
Corruption is NOT a way of life, and it can be tackled. Better education, regulations for a level playing field, better pay, efficient and accountant trained checkers/enforcers, encouragement and protection of whistleblowing, appropriate punishment for offenders high or low, etc.
These are only a very few examples of what can be done.
No one, not even the muslim brotherhood, wants Egypt to remain in chaos in forever, or the secularists allow tyranny ever to reign, Thus both parties do share common grounds.
It is only the conceptualization and implementation that will pose a problem, but not impossible to overcome, for nothing is impossible to humans if the will is there, as examplified by the prophet.
A society begins with a set of laws - the Constitution - setting the parameters whereby ALL can agree upon and abide by.
It can begin with basic principles as a start, so that it can define the role and responsiblities of the elected executive, legislators and judiciary to build upon later.
And such basic principles can be defined by wise men within UN. No matter the forms of worship, we mankind had only been worshipping the same common Creator who is known by many names across time and space, and it had been His moral and ethical guidelines that majority of living mankind had followed.
Those who don't follow, are already dead, are failed states, or are dying soon.
I wish my fellow human brothers and sisters in Egypt good luck.
