Egypt: Generals say they'll "hand over power to the elected president at end of month"

No way to tell yet how this assurance will play out in light of the new powers the military has claimed for itself. But Sharia or civil war look like the two likeliest scenarios. "Egypt generals say they'll 'hand over power to the elected president' at end of month," by Allen Pizzey for CBS News, June 18 (thanks to Wimpy):

(CBS News) CAIRO - In spite of opposition claims that Egypt's cadre of ruling generals is setting up what they say amounts to a military dictatorship, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) announced Monday that it will "hand over power to the elected president" at the end of this month.

"The army will hand over power to the elected president in a big ceremony end-month that the entire world will witness," the official news agency MENA quoted Major-General Mohamed El Assar, a member of the ruling army council, as saying.

"Egypt is a modern democratic country that upholds all democratic values," the statement went on.

The Muslim Brotherhood claimed victory early Monday in Egypt's first freely-contested presidential election, saying their candidate Mohammed Morsi had enough votes to become the first Islamist head of state in the Middle East to be elected in the wake of the tumult of the "Arab Spring".

Official results are due on Thursday, but with more than 95 percent of votes counted from some 13,000 polling stations, the Brotherhood said Morsi had taken 52 percent. Election officials told the Reuters news agency no winner would be declared until the official tabulation was completed later in the week, but they said the Brotherhood's numbers seemed accurate from the initial counting.

Morsi's opponent, former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq - the last prime minister to serve under ousted leader Hosni Mubarak - disputed the tally and leveled charges of electoral fraud. So far, independent monitors have not backed that up....

Sharia or civil war look like the two likeliest of scenarios? Well, given the choice, and seen from a perspective which cherishes liberty, tolerance and equality under the law, things which Islam knows nothing about, civil war is preferable to Sharia. After all, Muslims killing other Muslims must always be preferred to Muslims united against the kuffaar (kafir) under Sharia.

Well Egyptians want liberty and tolerance but not equality. Well some liberty and some tolerance but not equality.
Well maybe liberty for some peoples and a bit more tolerance but no equality, forget that!!!
Well liberty for me and tolerate what I do but no equality for my wife or her women friends or for my christian neighbors NO WAY!! I have my religion and God says I am right. FINI.

Nobody ask you for your opion on this matter. It seem you are too blias to have than law degree due to your anti-muslum bias.

How many "DefenderofIslam"s are there?

One is totally illiterate, one is semi-literate. One uses "the", the other never does. What do they do, take rotating shifts?

Whatever. They are both - all - annoying and senseless.

Like when Putin "handed over" the Russian presidency to Medvedev?

Good point, I think there are two DOI's now that you mention it. It helps if you have had a few alcoholic drinks when you read his/their attempts at writing to try to get down to their level & try to understand it.

Obama administration warns Egypt’s military leaders to hand over power or risk losing US aid - The Washington Post

Having learned nothing from the blunders Jimmy Carter made with Khomenie in 1979 Obama seems hellbent on repeating them with the Moslem Brothers. Throw every obstacle under the bus that stands in the way of the Islamic Republic of Egypt. What a nut.

Defenderofslime nobody ask you for your opinon.
(Apologies to Wellington for jumping in).

Damn right I have an anti-Muslim bias. I also have an anti-Nazi bias, an anti-Marxist bias, an anti-KKK bias, an anti-slavery bias. You see, I have a bias against any ideology or institution which singles out groups of human beings for second-class status or death, regardless of the grouping.

Nazism does it with ethnic and racial groups. Marxism does it with socio-economic groups. The KKK does it with racial and ethnic groups. Slavery always does it with one or more groups, in American history with blacks, in African history with some other tribe. And Islam does it with non-Muslims, who under Islam are to be accorded pure second-class status pretty much across the board wherever Islam dominates and, if they give any trouble, can be severely harmed or killed. And this, doofus, is the heart of why Islam is evil (there are other reasons too). Ditto for the other malevolencies I mentioned above.
