President's decisions are all directed towards achieving justice, ending corruption and fulfilling the goals of #Jan25 revolution
Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Defend’s President’s "Power Grab" On Twitter
Egypt’s Islamist president seized vast new “temporary” powers Thursday. On Twitter, the Muslim Brotherhood’s official account defended him from critics, including a Hunter College student, Abe, and a fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine, Hussein Ibish.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Defend'...

decision to grant these decisions immunity is to ensure they're protected frm corrupt & politicized judiciary installed by deposed regime
Bottom line: majority of ordinary Egyptians whose life will be improved by pres decisions will support him, political rivals will oppose
@Ikhwanweb of course. That's democracy if u don't know!
.@nadinefanous we disagree on you definition of democracy
@Ikhwanweb don't u think "assuming" and "predicting" are no way a strategic course of action in light of #Egypt current waves of opposition?
.@atypicalcitizen all decisions prez took, except immunity, r basic demands for the revolution & we know for a fact ppl supprt them, thx
@Ikhwanweb put this decision on a referendum & prove me wrong!
.@nadinefanous unrealistic, u think prez should have referendum on every major decision he makes?
@Ikhwanweb and you weren't worried about the judiciary's corruption when it oversaw the elections.
.@nadamobarak we ve all the respect to judiciary, never meant to generalize. Some in key positions r old regime loyalists hindering reform
@Ikhwanweb Which begs the question: declaration was announced evening, when were you able to conduct extensive poll across country?
.@HaniShukrallah we didn't say we already conducted the poll, but from interacting w public on daily basis we predict the majority supports
@Ikhwanweb @HaniSabra @abeerallamj @Libraliyya this is fun to read. But honestly ikhwan u should see that alot of Egyptians fear autocracy.
.@arabmny84 agreed.We suffered the most frm autocracy & will never replace secular autocracy w religious one; the Ppl won't let that happens
So ya @Ikhwanweb I'm a coptic liberal female.u may not consider me a "vast majority" but I sure as hell am an egyptian. What are my rights?
.@SandraYacoub in a democracy, the rights of voting minority must be protected, however, political disagreements will always exist
probably MT“@AbdulazizSaqqaf: @Libraliyya I am convinced this liberal conversation wldnt b taking place if a 'secular' prez was in charge.”
@Ikhwanweb @jettzworld @abrahamsny oh, yea, we had a revolution to replace emergency laws with another emergency law. Few months my ass.
.@Libraliyya we disagree, they're in no way comparable by any reasonable thought! Little disappointed w ur last sentence, Islam
.@Ikhwanweb Mubarak's Emergency Law was also supposed to be "temporary"
.@AbrahamsNY understandable,but unfair to compare Morsi's time-limited immunity for pro-revolution decisions w Mubarak's decades of EmLw
“@Lyonsoccer_87: @Ibishblog it's a TEMPORARY measure during an exceptional time. Can't compare post-rev to everyday situation”
MT “@Lyonsoccer_87: Judiciary in Egypt is corrupt and politicized need reform! FDR did something similar during grt dep "court packing"
MT “@Ibishblog: @Lyonsoccer_87 FDR's "court-packing" scheme failed legally and politically. Dreadful analogy to defend Morsi decrees.”
.@Ibishblog remember president tried to reinstate dissolved parl't, and those accusing him of dictatorship today opposed him back then
. @Ikhwanweb @amradelfahmy Not without checks, balances & limitations. Your answer is frightening & depressing in seeming oblivious to them.
.@Ibishblog valid concerns, but these r only temporary, but necessary, measures; new constitution & parl't in few months will repeal
