Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, and the Muslim Brotherhood are holding, on December 15, 2012, a referendum on a new constitution.
You know, the constitution that President Barack Hussein “vote buyer” Obama refuses to criticize.
You know, the constitution written by a committee of 100 selected by the now disbanded Egyptian parliament that, at the time of the creation of the Constituent Assembly, was dominated by Islamists. Fifteen committee members quit the Assembly in protest. Of the 85 members remaining, none were Christians, and only four were women. So much for “diversity,” one of the Democrats/liberals/progressives’ (DLPs) most precious ideals.
You know, the constitution that has in it, “State shall safeguard ethics, public morality and public order, and foster a high level of education and of religious and patriotic values….” Just what does that mean?
You know, the constitution that has no ban on slavery, no article specifically establishing equality between men and women, and includes a clause for insisting on stricter implementation of rulings of Shariah.
You know, the constitution that has an article that bans insulting or defaming the prophet and messengers, but is vague about what constitutes an insult or defamation, an article seeking to ensure people’s dignity by banning “insulting humans” (whatever that means), and an article that stipulates that the state supports the arts, science and literature and works to implement them in a way that serves society, but fails to define what “serves society” means, thus opening the door to censorship.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says “how people in Egypt view the [constitution] draft is most important.” But how will we ever know the Egyptian people view the draft? Thousands of Egyptian demonstrators in Tahrir Square protested against a draft constitution approved by allies of President Morsi. At the same time, Egypt’s ruling party, the Muslim Brotherhood, is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women and to beat up men who are taking part in protests following a decree by President Mohammed Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.
And we now find that Morsi supporters (the Muslim Brotherhood) are operating torture chambers to intimidate, silence, or kill Morsi opponents. The torture starts once a demonstrator who opposes Morsi is arrested in the demonstration, or is suspected after the demonstrations end. As long as the demonstrator denies that he got paid to take part in the protest, or whether he supports Mohamed ElBaradei, founder of the Constitution Party, or Hamdeen Sabahi, founder of the Egyptian Popular Current, or the dissolved Egyptian Nationalist movement, the torturers beat him.
Despite the DLP protests about “the separation of church and state,” Obama’s silence on this issue (Egypt’s constitution) speaks rather loudly. It’s rather astonishing that Obama and his sycophant followers praise Morsi and his new Muslim Brotherhood-led government that is now making politics and religion one and the same, as Islam is quite accomplished at doing.
