I've been reading a lot of different news stories on the whole matter. News, like art, seems to be very subjective.
From O backtracking, well, maybe trying to keep a low profile, whilst backtracking, and the 1600 comments that flew up, as to : "Americans should be taking notes, as to Egypts example".
Obama treads cautiously on Egypt leader's ouster
To the Pm explaining to Kerry, this wasn't a coupe. I've wondered why Kerry, all of a sudden recently, started traveling abroad and attempting foreign relations. Who is he, they should feel need, to answer to him?
Egypt foreign minister to Kerry: no "military coup"
And now, major media censorship, which in a way, I can find understandable, given the circumstances.
Rights groups decry Egypt media crackdown
I tell you what really gets me......
"In a statement, the Brotherhood said the shutdowns were a return to the "repressive" policies of Egypt's "dark ... ages."
ARE THEY KIDDING? Repressiveness? This from a group who publicly police, humiliate, beat, kidnap, torture, and kill?
Do they not see their own hand in the "dark ages" when THEY are oppressing education and basic human rights. Most knows how it goes for womens' rights, "cow, goat, dog, woman". We have high rank status, no?
"The Arab Network for Human Rights Information called the moves "a clear violation of the law and stifling freedom of expression." The group, based in Cairo, said while some programs aired on these stations carried at times "hate speech" and incited Morsi supporters to violence, that does not justify shutting the stations down."
But in Canada, you can be arrested and jailed, for inciting "HATE" and attempting to get others to join in.
"Over the past year, they have put on the air talk show guests, including hard-line clerics, who have made threats against opposition figures or depicted them as anti-Islam, including one cleric who called for their death."
In America, the secret service would have already detained that cleric, if those words were spoke against our president, (I would think). Ok, if you were just some joe schmoe,(or ted nugent) you'd definantly be visited, if not detained.
I just find it so ironic, that a radical hate inciting, human rights violating group, can cry such "foul", now that the tables have turned, and the ppl are telling them STOP, NO MORE!
I try to always remember, when attempting to judge another or criticize, that ANYTHING I might can ever say against another person, could also be TRUE of ME, at one time in my life or another. There but for the grace of....... So please don't think, that making judgments, is something I take lightly.
I'm not trying to be political or religious here. More trying to understand and keep open dialogue going, so perhaps we (maybe more, I) can become more aware and knowledgeable.
eta: I think a good slogan would be:
Real men, don't shoot little girls in the head, because they want to go to school.
