Morsi, on trial, insists he is still Egypt's president

Indeed, you are the president of Muslim brotherhood and your official palace is jail. You brought it upon yourself. He was given a chance to better Egypt, but by pushing the exclusive agenda, Morsi chartered his own path toward of destruction.

Well said Bbgood41!

Technically he may be right, but....

"Power resides only where men believe it resides." " It's a trick. A shadow on the wall, yet shadows can kill. And ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.”

However, I truly hope he will be as successful as Mubarak or Khadafi in re-claiming his seat...

As Morsi spoke, some Egyptian journalists tried to drown him out, shouting “Execution! Execution!”

So it's a completely free and independent press then? Unbiased coverage and what have you. No ties to the army.

What Muslim, after this sham, is ever going to believe the West when they come preaching about the wonders of democracy?

Well, it WAS a military coup d'etat. He WAS legitimately elected. That's not to say I would support his governance, however.

Democracy and extreme form of Islam (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Iran,....) are oxymoron. In a strict sense: religion, state, and politics are inseparable in Islam. Morsi acted like a big bad wolf wearing democracy dress marching toward the ultimate goal of Islamic state like Iran. Most Egyptians had enough and military stepped in, thus Morsi found himself in jail. For Egypt, there is no single solution to the problems as Morsi miscalculated.

“I am Dr Mohamed Morsi, the president of the republic,”

Not any more, to the approval of the majority of Egyptians.

My hat is off to all the Egyptian people. Yours guts, courage, compassion for your belief's is a award of honor, for humankind, in it's highest level. I thank all sides for showing the world the badge of honor. The Egyptian spirit should be observed by all Nations. Keep fighting Egypt, your leader is among you, He or She will surface and lead your country ! Maintain your Fire, as your country will show us all the Way... "And that's is just the Way it is"
