Is Morsi Right for Egypt?

After the downfall of Hosni Mubarak in the 2011 Egyptian Evolution, the country has been on a desperate journey in search for an emerging hero. A new leader that will guide Egypt from the battered, poverty-stricken state to a brighter future.

Contrary to what the people of Egypt hopes for, the country is now in turmoil. Even though a new president, Mohammed Morsi, was elected by the general public but his ability and mental mindset has been questioned by many.

Can Egypt trust him?

Mr. Morsi is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is one of the largest Islamist movements. It supports the values and beliefs of the Qur'an. A holy book for the Muslims. Muslim values have been strict, especially for women in practices such as polygny and veiling. This passage is from the Qur'an. Qur'an(4:11) - (Inheritance) " The Male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" This passage itself implies inequality. Mr. Morsi who is part of the Muslim Brotherhood on the other hand has promised better equality and environments for women, Christians and other non-Islamists. Mr.Morsi's political background sure gives me a different message of his values.


The most widely used slogan by the Muslim Brotherhood gives me goosebumps. "Islam is the solution." Heard of something similar before? I think so. Back when Hitler ruled Germany, he imposed on the continuity of the pure Aryan blood. Putting all other races, especially people of Jewish descent under that scope of hate in his hysterical mind. But is this movement as extreme as Hitler's? Not likely. It just screams for a little caution and attention, that's all. While world's eyes are on Mohammed Morsi's first presidential moves, he better be careful of what he's doing.
