First of all, I don’t believe for a second that the US government had not seen this prior to throwing support behind him and his election. And yet, despite the fact that the rant below is no different than any of the most vile lectures given by Osama Bin Laden, the US government is set to send 20 US f-16 fighter jets to Egypt this month as part of an ongoing $1 billion aid package.

Well, what do you expect of those who consider the “Dead White Men” to be too hard an act to follow.
On the Turkey file, Joel, did you see this: http://www.civitas.org.uk/wordpress/2012/10/23/turkey-in-the-arab-spring/
For it is from the same Think tank that pointed to Persecution of Christians. The press release is http://www.civitas.org.uk/press/prChristianophobia.htm & the material is http://www.civitas.org.uk/pdf/Shortt_Christianophobia.pdf
Can the F16’s play a role in David’s vision of the flying goat. I would like to give credit to sign post #3 in Hidden in Plain Sight by Mark Davidson.
To be fair, Morsi in those videos called Zionists bloodsuckers and descendants of apes and pigs, not Jews. Sure he is going against God’s hand when he says that Zionists have no right to the land of Palestine, but I do not think the video showed any outright racism. Jews and Zionists are not interchangeable.
Lorel,
Morsi is referencing the Quranic passage which refers to Jews as having been transformed into monkeys and pigs. I think it is quite fair to say that this was racism.
Blessings
Lorel,
Elsewhere Morsi is quoted as saying,
“We must never forget, brothers, to nurse our children and our grandchildren on hatred for them: for Zionists, for Jews”

Joel,
I believe it’s Isaiah 19 that says that Egypt will then get a wicked ruler to rule over them. This should pave the way for the last prophet- Elijah (written in Malachi 5 or 4) to bring the five cities of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan ( which includes city of destruction -Cairo) to join Israel. Was it Mathew or mark the apostle that started the Coptic Christian church in Egypt. A seed planted for the future (now) from the past to save possible Egyptian believers? Is it not written Egypt (my people), Israel (my inheritance) and Syria ( the work of my hands)? Isaiah 19:25.
