Much to my surprise, I have come to learn that Egypt is actually quite split on those who oppose Morsi and those who are for him. As June 30th approaches, I can't help but fear for the lives that will be lost. Will their deaths be in vain? Will Morsi step down? If Morsi steps down, who is fit to take his place?
The question which lingers in my mind is, will there ever be a time where the people don't oppose the government? I have this nagging inkling that perhaps the people will never be happy with any leader. Why? I feel like the Egyptian people put their leader on a pedestal instead of treating them like a human like the rest of us. Hasn't Morsy done anything at least a bit admirable? Come on people, nothing?

Can Morsi distinguish himself as a leader, or have we found the root cause for the downfall of Egypt?
I really pray that our new leader is open minded and can lead the future generation out of this extremist, fundamentalist, oppressive state it's headed now!

I wonder how come the same thing can have two contradictory meanings; IMF loan was said to be haram for the former government, and now it's totally acceptable for the current Islamic government.
