In Egypt, A Revolution or a Coup?

President Obama: What has been taking place in Egypt since June 30, 2013 is one of the greatest events in Egypt’s modern history.  CNN announced the number of protesters at 33 million as seen by Google.  BBC said that the number of Egyptians protesting is the largest number of protesters in a political event in the history ofmankind.

The portrayal of this as a military coup is an insult to the Egyptian people and a denial of their constitutional right to remove elected government officials from office when they fail to perform as promised.  The armed forces did not initiate the protest nor did it replace the president; they simply did what they are constitutionally bound to do, which is to execute the will of thepeople.

President Morsy won the election by 51.7% which amounted to only 13.2 million votes; only a fraction of the 22 million who signed the “Rebel Form,” or the 33 million who took to the streets demanding his ousting.  While in office, President Morsy not only failed to deliver on his campaign promises, but he mishandled the economy, leading Egypt to the verge of bankruptcy.  He pushed through a constitution written exclusively by Islamists, allowed extremists to openly persecute Coptic Christians with impunity, and primarily concentrated on garnering political power for Islamists by appointing them to key positions throughoutEgypt, including the appointment of a member of the terrorist organization Gamaa Islameya to the Luxorgovernorship.
