LISTEN NOW! John, Pat and Steve discuss the uprising in Egypt and the story behind the story as they shared from previous segments on VFNRadio. On the one year anniversary of President Morsi’s election the Egyptian people took the streets to protest, millions of them. It did not take long before the military backed the people and gave Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood candidate, a 48 hour ultimatum to respond to the people or be removed. Morsi refused and subsequently was removed from office and was being detained as well as the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. They continue to share the story behind the story as has been shared and prophesied on VFNRadio. One such segment was, Muslim Brotherhood 101 which clearly portrays who they are and their creed. “Allah is our objective, the prophet is our leader, Koran is the law, Jihad is our goal and dyeing in the name of Allah is our highest objective.” They continue to share how President Obama empowered the Muslim Brotherhood in his 2009 speech at Cairo University. The Muslim Brotherhood had been banned from the country from the then president Mubarak yet eight of them were invited by the President to hear his speech. Shortly after the speech the Muslim Brotherhood rose to power during the Arab Spring and Morsi was elected. They continued to share how the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the west as Congresswoman Michele Bachmann said and what FBI documents clearly showed according to CBN. They share how President Obama according to USA Today says, “The United States categorically rejects the false claims propagated by some in Egypt that we are working with specific political parties or movements to dictate how Egypt’s transition should proceed,” the White House statement said. “We remain committed to the Egyptian people and their aspirations for democracy, economy opportunity and dignity. But the future path of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people.” Although, he originally supported the Muslim Brotherhood the protesting Egyptian citizens carried signs indicating they knew all along. They rejoice for answered prayers as God removed from office an organization that wants to wipe Israel off the map and one that has allegedly persecuted Egyptian Christians. They encourage us to pray for peace in the Middle East and for the Gospel to spread throughout Egypt.
