| Egypt angered after Turkey calls for Morsi's release |
| 2013-11-06 |
| [Al Ahram] Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its dissatisfaction at recent comments by Turkish officials about ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi. "[Turkish officials] insist on falsifying the real situation in Egypt and challenging the will of the Egyptian people," the ministry said on Tuesday in a statement published by state news agency MENA. Erdogan Bey can see himself in the same situation as Morsi. The Turkish foreign ministry called on Tuesday for the release of Morsi, who is currently in detention pending trial on charges of inciting violence during his presidency. Morsi has been held in detention since his ouster by the military in July, after mass protests calling for an end to his presidency. Initially he was held without charge at an undisclosed location. On Monday he appeared at a Cairo court for the first session in his trial. "We believe the release of all political prisoners, including elected president Morsi, will contribute significantly to the emergence and sound implementation of the dialogue and reconciliation process in that country," read a statement on the official website of the Turkish foreign ministry. The president's ouster has strained relations between Cairo and Ankara. Turkey's Islamist Justice and Development Party (AKP) government had warm relations with Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood administration. |

| #8 g(r)om, I'd go more with ironic. Obama has a much broader range of target enemies that aren't quite so compartmentalized as Jews & Gypsies. Tea Partiers are equivalent in his regard but there's no way to identify them physically. The closest he can get is to hate whitey but that isn't going to work cause half his homies are honkies. |

| #7 The main difference is that Obama doesn't play the anti-Jew card Obama's New Scapegoat: ItÂ’s GermanyÂ’s Fault! I know, I know. But to me, the juxtaposition is funny. |

| #4 CF, I've made it clear in the past that I believe that Obama is following the path to a Fascist dictatorship, so yes, it could certainly be both. The details and order thereof can be different but that's the path Obama is treading with the same level of power. The main difference is that Obama doesn't play the anti-Jew card, but then, neither did Benito. The important marker of Fascism is ultimate government control over the economy and activities of society via ever spreading cronyism and regulation. Fabian socialists and Gramsciian communists are all cheek by jowel with the Fascist left on the continuum. |

| #2 US 7931, I doubt it. Yippee has been pretty ruthless in his purge of the military over the years to preclude just that possibility. |
