Egyptian Army Moved Against Morsi Over His Call for Military Intervention in Syria
Larouchepac
The Anglo-Saudi policy of launching an all-out war against Syria was at the center of the Egyptian military's move against the Muslim Brotherhood Presidency of Mohamed Morsi. While the army was becoming more and more worried about the growing tensions in the country, the "tipping point" was Morsi's blood-curdling call two weeks ago for foreign military intervention into Syria and his attacks on Hezbollah and Iran.
"Army concern about the way President Mohamed Morsi was governing Egypt reached a tipping point when the head of state attended a rally packed with hard-line fellow Islamists calling for holy war in Syria" reported Reuters citing unnamed Egyptian military sources.
Reuters was referring to the June 15 rally, where Sunni Muslim clerics used the word "infidels" to refer to Shi'ites supporting the Syrian government, as well as to non-Islamists that oppose Morsi in Egypt.
According to the Egyptian daily Al Ahram, a statement released by a Coptic rights group, the Maspero Youth Union, warned the American people that their President and U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson are supporting "a fascist group that oppresses minorities," referring to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The early demise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt will have a serious impact on Turkey's Islamist ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has fully supported Morsi. The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement warning the Egyptian army not to launch a coup against Morsi, declaring its support for him.
Already Turkish commentators are writing that the misfortunes of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood will affect the policy of the AKP. One commentator writing in the Hurriyet Daily News pointed out that Morsi attended the AKP congress in Ankara last September — "a visit considered as a sign of flourishing relations between Turkey and Egypt.... Morsi was a leader specifically supported by Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party." Another commentator in the same daily wrote, "If the hijacked 'spring' can be claimed back in Egypt — which appears to be in the pipeline — we have to be ready to see the fallout in the rest of this region. That won't be good news for the AKP."
