Egypt’s Military Issues Ultimatum To Morsi: You Have 48 Hours To ‘Meet The People’s Demands’, Or We Step In


Be sure to read the three Flashbacks following the excerpt below. This is a very tense situation. If the military decides to move against the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist President, an Islamist-vs-Opposition civil war may indeed be inevitable. To the Islamists, however, they will view it as a war against Islam and Christians will undoubtedly be the ones who will end up paying the ultimate price. Be sure to pay close attention to see what stance Turkey decides to take, or even make, as the sea and the waves continue to roar both home and abroad …

Update: The Muslim Brotherhood has rejected the army’s ultimatum

Matthew 24:6, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”

By HAMZA HENDAWI and SARAH EL DEEB, The Times of Israel – “CAIRO (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Egpyitan protesters massed for a second day on Monday calling on Mohammed Morsi to step down. Meanwhile, Egypt’s powerful military warned it will intervene if the Islamist president doesn’t ‘meet the people’s demands,’ giving him and his opponents two days to reach an agreement in what it called a last chance.

Military helicopters, some dangling Egyptian flags, swooped over Cairo’s Tahrir Square where many broke into cheers with the army’s announcement, read on state television. The statement seemed to fuel the flow of crowds into city squares around the country where protesters chanted and sang.

‘Come out, el-Sissi. The people want to topple the regime,’ protesters in the Nile Delta city of Mahalla el-Kubra chanted, urging military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to intervene.

The military’s statement puts enormous pressure on Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood. So far, the president has vowed he will remain in his position, but the opposition and crowds in the street — who numbered in the millions nationwide on Sunday — have made clear they will accept nothing less than his departure and a transition to early presidential elections.

That makes action by the generals when the deadline runs out nearly inevitable, since a deal seems unlikely. The statement did not define the ‘people’s demands’ that must be met. But it strongly suggested that Sunday’s gigantic rallies expressed the desire of Egyptians, raising the likelihood it would insist on Morsi’s departure.

An army move against Morsi, however, risks a backlash from his Islamist supporters, who include hard-line former militants.” Read more.

Flashback: Turkish PM Greeted by Cheering Crowds in Cairo, Banners Proclaiming ‘Egypt And Turkey Will Together Become An Islamic Caliphate’ – “Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continued to make threats against Israel on his arrival in Cairo last night, resulting in a rapturous reception by the crowds. He was surrounded by Egyptian supporters after disembarking from his plane at the airport. Using a prepared amplifier system, Erdoğan spoke to the crowd in Arabic, saying, ‘Salaam aleikum, Egypt and Turkey are one. Peace to the Egyptian people.’ … The welcoming crowd included many members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which supports Hamas. Supporters along the road into Cairo carried Erdoğan’s picture and shouted, ‘Egypt and Turkey will together become an Islamic Caliphate’” Read more.

Flashback: Walid Shoebat: Egypt Will End Up In Civil War, Christians Will Be Slaughtered, Turkey Will Take Over – “As we predicted several years ago, Egypt has fallen. We stated that Egypt will end up in civil war between secularists and Salafists / Muslim Brotherhood with the Christians of Egypt slaughtered in the process. All this is spelled out in Isaiah 19. Egypt – in the coming years – will be weakened to the point that the Turks (Iron) will take over the weakened clay nations of Egypt, Tunisia and Libya(Daniel 11:42). These just opted for the fad of Sharia over western secularism exactly as we stated long ago… We have said for years that the Ottoman Empire will be revived. Lo and behold, here we are… A Caliphate will arise out of Turkey and the Gog of Turkey will portray himself as the re-incarnation of Muhammad, Saladin and the Ottoman Sulaiman Al-Qanuni …” Read more.

Flashback: Syria: Turkey’s Erdogan Thinks He Is The New Sultan Of The Ottoman Empire, ‘In His Heart He Thinks He Is A Caliph’ – “Erdogan thinks that if Muslim Brotherhood takes over in the region and especially in Syria, he can guarantee his political future, this is one reason. The other reason, he personally thinks that he is the new sultan of the Ottoman and he can control the region as it was during the Ottoman Empire under a new umbrella. In his heart he thinks he is a caliph. These are the main two reasons for him to shift his policy from zero problems to zero friends.” Read more.
