MB terrorists, acting and staging a massacre to blame the Egyptian army of killing protesters to take pictures and send it to foreign media...

rings a bell?

Yeah seems staged by secularist thugs.

 

[Frogman]

Eid Mubarak, I will show Pro Morsi/Democrate Pictures and Videos. The real reason why America changed it to declare it's a coup, Sisi can't do action and why the media admited the protest is huge.

Eid mubarak, dude.

The views of the American administration remain the same as senators McCain and Graham only represent themselves. They have been ridiculed within Egypt and in America. The protests are huge but still arent anywhere near those on the 30th of June and the 27th of July.

Yeah seems staged by secularist thugs.

watch the video, read the signs, listen to what they are saying... stupidity has no cure

Yeah, because actors paid for by Sisi regime cannot stage such an event to discredit muslims. And to whitewash their massacres. Miraculously they found the full tape. Credible story, if you are gullible enough... As an Assad loyalist, shoudn't be to diffucult for you.

Offcourse they take pictures in this psyop staged event. They follow the script from Sisi.

So, if this video was supposed to be used as propaganda by the military why hasn't it received much attention by the Egyptian and foreign media?

It surely received the attention by the media, the army was looking for by releasing their staged event to them.

Egypt's Coptic Pope concerned over risks of attacks

By John McManus BBC News

A bishop in Egypt's Coptic Church says Pope Tawadros II has cancelled weekly public meetings due to concerns over possible attacks on his congregation.

Bishop Angaelos, who heads the Church in the UK, says in one incident the flag of al-Qaeda was raised on church property while worshippers hid inside.

Several human rights groups have criticised Egypt's authorities for failing to protect Christians.

Some Islamists say the Church backed the removal of President Morsi.

Two weeks ago Bishop Angaelos told the BBC that he didn't mind what kind of government led Egypt - even an Islamist one - as long as individual rights were respected and the country was able to flourish.

Now the bishop has revealed that the Church's leader, Pope Tawadros II, has cancelled some public events at St Mark's Cathedral in Cairo because of the worsening security situation.

Pope Tawadros is concerned about the risk of potential attacks on the Coptic congregation.

Egypt's Christians have long been a target for disaffected Islamists, many of whom now openly accuse the Church of playing a role in the recent removal of President Mohammed Morsi.

When the chief of the army, General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi went on television to announce that President Morsi had been removed from power, Pope Tawadros and Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar, Cairo's ancient seat of Muslim learning, both made statements.

Pope Tawadros said that the "roadmap" mentioned by the general had been devised by honourable people, who had Egypt's best interests at heart.

Some Islamists took this as a sign that the Church had conspired in their leader's overthrow.

The events that Pope Tawadros has cancelled are thought to be Bible lectures, where he takes questions from the congregation gathered inside St Mark's Cathedral.

Recent incidents cited by Bishop Angaelos include an attack on a church which left the congregation cowering inside while the flag of al-Qaeda was raised on its premises.

He says homes and businesses have been razed to the ground and callers to TV shows have openly demanded the eradication of non-Muslims.

On Wednesday, 16 Egyptian human rights organisations denounced the government's failure to protect Copts, and said Muslim Brotherhood leaders were using hate speech to make political gains.

The groups said that the traditional method of stopping violent attacks by using mediation was not working.

They have called for an independent investigation into why Christians and their property are not being adequately protected by the security forces.

It surely received the attention by the media, the army was looking for by releasing their staged event to them.

It didn't receive much attention. It was done as a work of photographic art by those in Rab3a to in a way document what happened. The problems came from foreign media taking pictures from this piece (from the websites they posted it on) and publishing them as real injured and dead people. Basically, they were trying to do something artistic and thoughtful but it backfired.

Writing in FT, Gül asks Morsi to be released in his roadmap

9 August 2013 /TODAYSZAMAN.COM, İSTANBUL

Turkish President Abdullah Gül appealed to Egypt’s army-installed government on Friday to return the country swiftly to democratic rule and allow all parties to take part in the political process.


In an article published in the Financial Times, Gül urged the Egyptian authorities to release the detained former president, Islamist Mohamed Morsi, who was overthrown by the army last month, but stopped short of calling for his return to office.

The Turkish head of state, a member of the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (AK Party), also called on all sides to act with restraint and avoid violence.

“The Egyptian people have almost been split into two camps, each of which is rallying dangerously against the other. This situation is worrying and unsustainable,” he wrote.

Turkey is an important player in Middle East diplomacy and Gül was adding his voice to number of international calls along similar lines in the wake of Morsi’s overthrow.

Egypt’s interim government has promised its own transition plan, leading to new elections in nine months time. But what role Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood would have in this, if any at all, is unclear. Most of its leaders have been jailed.

More than 300 people have been killed in political violence since Morsi’s overthrow and the security forces have threatened to dismantle two protest camps where his supporters are making a stand, raising concern that more lives will be lost.

Gül said Turkey had supported the 2011 uprising against strongman Hosni Mubarak and the election that brought Morsi to power.

“Unfortunately, the historic step towards democracy failed in less than two years. The coup that ousted Mohamed Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically elected president, was a clear derailment of the country’s progress,” he wrote.

His description of Morsi’s overthrow as a coup is likely to rile the Egyptian military, who say they were enforcing the will of the people as manifested in huge demonstrations against his rule, and do not seek to exercise power.

Gül said the problems should have been resolved through democratic means.

“At moments of peril, it is more important than ever to stick closely to the democratic path,” he said.

The present situation risked further polarization, he added.

“A quick return to democracy - which was the aim of the revolution - through an inclusive transition process, is of utmost importance.”

All political groups should be allowed to take part in elections. The release of Morsi and his fellow politicians would contribute to reconciliation and stability, he added.

Turkey is not without its own political troubles. Protests broke out in June against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, accused by his critics of becoming increasingly authoritarian, and have continued sporadically despite heavy police repression.

Erdoğan accused Western governments of double standards for failing to condemn the events in Egypt as a military coup or the killing of Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators by security forces while criticizing Turkey for using tear gas against protesters.

Gul should release all the detained protesters of gezzi park. Turkey should go back to the democratic process that includes all different groups.
