Egypt: We Hardly Knew Ya

Egypt is in turmoil and Mo Morsi has been relieved of his duties as Islamic dictator. While he was elected democratically, he has been as effective as  his American counterpart and supporter, Barack Hussein Obama. The Egyptian military had taken control but made it clear that they had no political intentions but wanted the power to go back to the people.



Now we have the strong Islamic, pro-Morsi supporters and the anti-Morsi crowd. The only thing both sides seem to have in common is their mutual hatred of Jews, particularly those who have set up house in Israel, the land of David. If both sides could just get together and agree to disagree, like they do in "the rooms," (those helpful 12-step meetings--but I only know that because I was a psychotherapist, honestly) and annihilate an entire nation of people, I believe that peaceful Egyptians could one day hold hands, play guitars, and sing Kumbayah after they destroy Israel. But let's hope that never happens.


Some people just never get it right. If they say go left, you should have gone right; if they say buy stock in Solyndra, you'd probably be better off buying stock in coal or natural gas. If they support Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, you might consider supporting the anti-Morsi protesters. But if they support both sides, then you might stay clear of taking sides.

They, in this case, is Obama.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
