Amid economic crisis, European Union approves $6.3 billion in aid for Muslim Brotherhood Egypt

Priorities, priorities. As far as the Eurodhimmis are concerned, a rapidly Islamizing state pursuing an increasingly belligerent path toward Israel is worth supporting, even while they're going broke. "Aid amid austerity: Egypt to receive over $6bn in aid from EU," from RT, November 14 (thanks to Joe):

The European Union has approved a US$6.3 billion financial aid package for Egypt. The news comes as Europe is paralyzed by a general strike and mass protests as people are tired of deepening recession and strangled by constant budget cuts.
The European Investment Bank is to grant Egypt 2 billion euro ($2.55 billion), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development a further 2 billion euro and EU countries will also allocate a further 1 billion euro, the office of the Egyptian president said on Wednesday.

The statement was released after President Mohamed Morsi met with EU Foreign Policy chief Catherine Ashton.

Egypt is to sign a memorandum of understanding with IMF representatives for the loan this week. It is "a strong sign of EU's support for Egypt's path to development," the president said.

The Egyptian economy is still recovering after the overthrow of former President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 and subsequent political turmoil.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the EU to protest drastic austerity measures introduced by authorities to cope with the recession.

Spain and Portugal are facing general strikes, while Greece and Italy are seeing many walkouts. Millions of people from some 20 EU nations are expected to take part in the European Day of Action and Solidarity.

And as many Europeans are not happy to bail out struggling EU economies at a cost of their pensions and wages, the question is how they are going to react to paying Egyptian bills.

It is a strong sign of EU's willingness to support Egypt's path to becoming an Islamist nation, at any cost whatsoever.

A pyramid of cash for a morally bankrupt Islamic government running a financially bankrupt economy.

This foolishness will give rise to a neologism which means you wish you hadn't lent money to someone who had no intention of paying it back -- reMorsi!

Clowns!

Barosso is really good in wasting Dutch, German and Finnish taxpayers money and especially my fellow Dutch people are keen on giving that a-hole more(as shown in our elections a few months ago). Our communist government is sucking away our money to that hopeless and dhimmi EUSSR and thanks to the massive brainwashing(a tax-payer financed TV-channel about the poor little Palestinians and the big bad Israelis for example) over here in Europe, I don't see any change of course soon.

I hope we Europeans will open our eyes and depose of our self-hating and traitor governments, either through elections or force if neccesary.

Europe needs a shrink. The beautiful lady once enticed by the the Greek god Zeus disguised as a bull is now in the grips of the pigs of Islam.

Europe needs help. The richer countries have to pay for Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland. That's our responsibility. But giving money to Egypt, a country that wants to implement sharia law, that's pure insanity. Europe is going down the drain!

We direly need American help!

"... how they are going to react to paying Egyptian bills."

I don't think the liberal elite of Europe who have control of lots of other people's money don't really give a rats how the mere citizens of Europe might react, or what they want or need. Why should they when they know what's best, and anyway it's not their personal Euros.

And BTW I would not rule out bribery - it's only other peoples money.

Robert,

Don't we all believe the Egyptians were so much smarter when they made these:

They did have a universalist approach to gods ...

Too bad they got stuck on that last abomination of a belief system ... islam.

If not for these jizya payments propping up Islamic failure, Egypt, etc. might have been well on its way by now to post-Islamic modern, humane, civilization.

Not a bad idea; I think a lot of non-Muslims in Europe would be very happy to make this investment in order to get an Islam-free environment for themselves.

It could be a swap: Europe could evict *all* its Muslims, to Egypt (the Turks could be sent back to Turkey), and tell Egypt that to make room for these new arrivals in Egypt they (Europe) will be only too happy for Egypt to send them all of its Coptic Christians, who right now are facing the very real possibility of suffering genocide at the hands of the surrounding Muslims.

Europe would get rid of a dead weight of dangerous parasites, and gain people who aren't afraid to do dirty, menial work (because that's all that most of them have been *allowed* to do, in Egypt) and aren't afraid of hard times (even what Europeans consider 'poverty' and 'austerity', right now, is probably paradise compared to what most Copts are enduring), and will - being Christian, in varying degrees of fervency - assimilate. And who would actually be *grateful* for being given refuge.

This is INSANE!!!

Every European should know about this. They should know where their money goes while so many Europeans are getting poorer by the moment.

No wonder these Muslim beasts think they can defeat the west.

UNREAL.

The EU including England are stark raving mad we are on our knees unable to pay our own bills the UK Government are borrowing and printing money to run the country and they wish to help a group of Moslems who hate the kafir (me you and all you family and friends) buy loaning these fast sums of money. There has to be a revolution just like 250 years ago it's the only way these political elites are MAD. There will be violence in the end if they are not stoped at the next elections every one must come out to vote don't sit at home winging get up and get mad and vote Britain First or independents remove the two party's who have been F...... Us over for the last 50 years in the UK and get out of Europe let them die on there own.

Good God. EU needs to do a reality check.
The EU itself is in thee middle of a full-blown economic crisis, their own citizens are suffering from lack of jobs and money, then why is it giving hard-earned tax payers money to Egypt.
The main industry in Egypt is tourism and that will fall flat on its face once the pyramids are blown up by the followers of islam; then how will Egypt pay the EU back?

More EU stupidity. Over here, Hillary Clinton is just as stupid. But, sadly, as Schiller said, "Mit der Dummheit, kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens."

This would work if Muslims weren't demographically invading us in order to conquer us. Invading conquerors aren't going to take money and leave. They came here for a purpose, one they are fanatically bound to pursue.

Lawrence Auster also advocated this tactic, as a way to avoid the grim necessity of total deportation.
