Saudi Arabia Pleased With Morsi Fall

First, the Saudi regime fears ideological competition from a political party that upholds Islam. The regime prides itself on being the only one that rules according to Sharia. It has propagated this myth for several decades and thus distinguished itself from so-called secular Arab dictators. Its religious establishment seriously believes that its political leadership is the only one that respects Islam. The Muslim Brotherhood in power in the most populous Arab country undermines the Saudi monopoly on Islamic politics.

Second, unlike official Saudi Salafists, who still believe that democracy is a Western import that promises to bring atheists, secularists and leftists to power, the Brotherhood engaged in elections, won seats in parliaments and even came to power in Tunisia and Egypt. Surely, then, Islam and democracy are not so incompatible. This in itself threatens the foundations of Saudi rule, which is still based on absolute kingship, difficult to justify from an Islamic point of view. The Brotherhood therefore exposes Saudi claims to legitimacy and undermines their credibility as lawful Muslim rulers. The Saudi regime worries about its population being contaminated by ideas and practices of how a Muslim can be democratic while remaining within the fold of Islam. This is not to say that a socially conservative Islamist trend like the Brotherhood is a bastion of liberty and democracy, but the Brotherhood's willingness to engage with democratic institutions is enough to scare the Saudi regime.

Third, like the Saudi regime, the Muslim Brotherhood is a transnational organization with branches across the Arab and Muslim world. It has penetrated educational institutions, preaching forums and relief organizations, which the Saudi government has been eager to control and dominate for its own foreign policy and legitimacy abroad. While the Brotherhood does not have the economic resources of Saudi Arabia, it has nevertheless spread across the globe, sometimes in disguise. The Saudis worry about the impact of this global competition among Muslims worldwide, who may become galvanized against Saudi policies. The competition over the hearts and minds of Muslims in the growing global Muslim society worries Saudi Arabia, which seeks to monopolize these platforms.

Fourth, Saudi Arabia prides itself on representing Sunni Islam against its alleged enemies, mainly other sects such as the Shiites. When the Brotherhood called for Islamic unity before it came to power in Egypt, thus softening the Sunni-Shiite divide, the Saudi regime felt undermined by such slogans. When Morsi visited Iran in 2012, Saudi attacks on the rapprochement reached a high tone. He tried to redeem himself when he denounced Alawite President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, but the damage had already been done. Saudi Arabia feared that Morsi would make Egypt drift toward Iran, with whom Saudi Arabia competes for hegemony at the regional level.

Morsi's Ouster Influenced by Syria Developments - Qusayr Victory & Cutting Off Relations with Syria


According to Egypt's leading journalist, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, several Syria-linked factors contributed to Egyptian ex-President Mohamed Morsi's ouster. Those include the widening rift between ex-President Mohamed Morsi and Egyptian military commander-in-chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi due to Morsi's decision to completely cut off relations with Syria and his patronage of a conference where Wahhabi preachers declared that conducting Jihad in Syria is a duty. The other factor is related to the developments of the war in Syria, where the retake of the strategic town of Qusayr by the Syrian Army in addition to the protests in Turkey against Erdogan's government dealt a heavy blow to the Muslim Brotherhood as a regional organization.

Israel fears US may suspend Egyptian aid - Globes

Israel is concerned that the Obama administration will suspend the $1.3 billion annual military aid to Egypt following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, and that suspension of aid could jeopardize the Israel-Egypt peace treaty. Israel may ask the US to find a way to continue the aid program, even though US law bans financial aid to regimes that seized power in a coup.

It would be interesting to see a regional player(s) that would pay the equivalent to Egypt annualy + extra's. Bye bye peace agreement and bye bye American influence. :yahoo:

Pro Mursi officers should now stage a counter coup and send the traitor al Sissi to hell.That is the only way to save Egypt now,demonstrations will effect no one.Shoot the traitor dead !
