The Muslim Brotherhood is proposing its Secretary-General Mohamed al-Katatni for speaker of the Egyptian Parliament. The parliament will be tasked with writing a new constitution.
Reuters reported:
Leading Egyptian political parties will back a senior figure in the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) for the assembly’s speaker, with another Islamist group and a liberal party taking the deputy posts, an FJP official said on Monday.
The prime task of the new parliament, the first elected since an uprising swept Hosni Mubarak from power last year, will be to pick a 100-strong assembly to write a new constitution.
Liberals fear that sweeping gains by Islamists in elections will put faith-based parties in the driving seat and lead to more religious strictures.
Islamists insist they want an inclusive government and a constitution that represents all Egyptians.
“No political stream or popular group will be eliminated from this political process,” said Emad Abdel Ghaffour, head of the Islamist al-Nour party. “The proportional weight of these parties and their competencies will be taken into consideration.”
The FJP, which secured the biggest bloc in the parliamentary election, is proposing its Secretary-General Mohamed al-Katatni for speaker, its head Mohamed Morsi said after meeting other key parties.

just a sample:
TMB = USA
[For example, the Tehran-born Dr. Vali Nasr was appointed to co-direct Obama foreign policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan. Former Saudi Arabian supplicant Charles Freeman was appointed by Obama to chair the Administration’s National Intelligence Council, but withdrew his name when it was revealed he issued a 2-page screed in which he postulated a conspiracy theory claiming he had been ‘victimized’ by American supporters of Israel. In addition, John Limbert was appointed to direct U.S. policy toward the Islamist regime in Iran. Limbert, who was taken hostage during the Iranian upheaval of the late 70s-early 80s, is an Iranian sympathizer who advocates negotiation with one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world.
While it is true that some of the initial appointees have departed from the Administration, the fix was already in. The Obama Administration is manned by Sharia-friendly appointees who help steer American foreign policy in the Middle East.]
[“…even under the pressures that you and I know about, the deen of
Islam is growing because people see even within all of this struggle it is
better to be a Muslim under these conditions than to be a kaffir under
any conditions… before Allah closes our eyes for the last time you will
see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America-that’s
where we are now- to being the first religion in America.”]

Let ‘em do what they want.
Just pull whatever aid we send them. If they’re no longer friendly, there’s little point in sending them money.

An interesting fact is that in the background is the Muslim Brotherhood flag, not the Egyptian one.
So you have the swords and the Koran, but his “no political stream or popular group will be eliminated from this political process” rhetoric does not match.
Btw, the flag reads in Arabic: “truly it is the generous Koran” and beneath the swords: “be prepared”.
Of course the Koran is generous, all you need is to be prepared for the sword as a reminder.

Great outcome Barry!!! Tossing our friends aside and replacing them w/ Sharia. What a disaster!

Anyone who thought Mubarak was bad is about to find out what BAD really is, as the lunatics take over with Obama’s and Soro’s blessings.
Take a fresh reading of Ezekial 38 and 39, of the Book of Obadiah and of Luke 21.
Luke 21:32. Truly I tell you, this generation (those living at that definite period of time) will not perish and pass away until all has taken place.

We give Egypt billions every year and now they are using some of that money to buy 1000 tasers for so called morality police which really means that they will use them for public torture of women and Christians.
