Brotherhood Makes Its Move in Egypt
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/03/13/brotherhood-mobilizes-against-military-government-in-egypt/
"The majority Islamist Egyptian parliament moved on several fronts in the past two days to flex its muscles and challenge the authority of the military-appointed government. The Muslim Brothers, represented by the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), and their Salfis allies, who make up 70% of the members in parliament, have decided to engineer a “no confidence” vote in the government of Prime Minister Kamal Al Ganzouri, force the withdrawal of the Israeli ambassador from Cairo, and will vote to refuse $1 billion in aid from the US government. These actions, which took place on the eve of the first day of candidate registration for the presidential elections, threaten to instigate a political crisis in the country — as well as with the United States and Israel...................."
It could be said by many that these actions could be done by any elected parliament around the world - but it could be just a testing of the waters, see how it goes and how much strength they can muster. A little bit of posturing to the people. I don't think they'll turn down 1 billion in aid.
