Egypt court orders Morsi's children attend US citizenship revocation hearing
2013-05-03
[Al Ahram] Egypt's Supreme Administrative Court's State Commissioners Authority on Thursday ordered that President Mohamed Morsi's son and daughter attend the hearing on a lawsuit demanding the revocation of their US citizenship.

This comes as part of a lawsuit filed in 2012 by Attorney Mohamed Salem --following Morsi's presidential election--to force his two children to renounce their US citizenship, which they acquired at birth in the 1980's when Morsi was a professor.

The state commissioners postponed the hearing until 30 May and issued a LE400 fine to the head of Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs judicial department for delaying the document coordination process with the US State Department.

A similar case filed by lawyer Tarek Mahmoud in 2012 argued that their passport can be a means by which the US can conspire against Egypt.

#2  hmmmm....forced revocation of an American Citizen's citizenship? I think that used to be a problem with us. Not now - Arab Spring allows it

#1  Both Morsi and his PM Qandil were educated in the US.

Some of Morsi's children are anchor babies US citizens, perhaps some or all of Qandil's children are as well.

The Morsi government's official posture vis-a-vis the US if far more hostile than the Soviet Union's was.

Egypt does not fully recognize the US as a sovereign entity.

Direct exposure to and immersion in Western culture and civilization has created enemies, not friends. To know the West is not to love the West.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to curtail such opportunities for direct contact in the future.
