Would Morsi Stop the Fire

Egypt stands today on the brink of complete collapse it has not witnessed in the darkest moments of its modern history. It does not appear on the horizon likely clear out of the current political impasse after President Mohamed Morsi had abandoned his neutral position as a president of the Republic and transformed the political struggle to bone-crushing battle between him as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and other national powers. 

This failure on the part of President Morsi in the performance of his duties has put the entire nation in the hard choice between keeping him in power and fall into the swamp of Moslem Brotherhoodization, or dropping him and putting him on trial which leads Egypt to the unknown, which can gang of political Islam terrorist can make it extremely difficult and painful.

President Morsi had sworn on specific tasks, namely maintaining the republican system, respecting the Constitution and the law, care for the interests of the people, and to maintain the independence and territorial integrity, but he surreptitiously has dedicated himself to the task of highest contrast with these tasks, namely enable Brotherhood and planting its elements in all aspects of the state and society.

In order to accomplish this highest task the president has drawn back all the promises he made during the elections, embraced to be a delegate of the group at the presidential palace confined to sign presidential decisions that are prepared in the guidance office, did not hesitate to perjury constitutional oath and abuse the Constitution and the law by forming a blockade around the Constitutional Court and the dismissal of the Attorney General in order to appoint an islamist, condoning the referendum in order to pass the false constitution, and last but not least is ordering or did not prevent killing of demonstrators on several occasions, the same charges, for which deposed President Mubarak to life imprisonment. 

Although these crimes may rendered President-elect legitimacy, and pushed his closest allies to abandon him, since the Salafist groups denied his stubbornness and demanded flexibility, many Islamists writers began in publicly criticizing him harshly and demanded change of Brotherhood advisers and respond to the demands of the opposition, the minister of defense Sisi’s statements reeks of a military coup, as well as resentment evident in the United States and the European Union of his policies and the deteriorating situation in Egypt, but the word now must be to the mind not to passion. 

January revolution has taught us that it is easy to drop regimes but it is rather difficult to build them, thus the drop of Morsi may succeed in humiliating political Islam and punish him for stealing the revolution, but it will re-unite the islamist factions which are now splitting day after day, lead to ignite the polarisation in the community, creates revenges between civil forces and Islamic groups, and will be considered a precedent deliberately each team will replicate in the face of any president nominated or elected of the opposing team. This shall intervene the country for years in a downward spiral of chaos as in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The Rescue Front did well by reject Morsi’s call for a dialogue without guarantees, and we believe that the pressure in fields will force Morsi and his group to undergo and to provide those guarantees, then the dialogue can take place, a neutral rescue government can be formed to oversee the amendment of the Constitution, and the text in which to conduct parliamentary and presidential elections after approval of the constitution. This will end the mandate of Morsi constitutionally, and will permit him, if he had the courage, to run again in elections supervised by the neutral government. 

The interests of the country must prevail today above all else, and above our rejection of the Muslim Brotherhood and what it represents, and should not be subject wise to blackmail street Revolutionary demanding dropping Morsi, although hearing this cheering is very pleasing that we hope it turns one day into reality that serve the cause of democracy not to destroy it.
