Egypt  Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie arrest ordered

Egypt's state prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for the leader of the  Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and at least nine other senior figures.

Mr Badie is accused of inciting the violence in Cairo on Monday in which more than 50 people were killed.
Many Brotherhood members are already in detention and warrants are said to have been been issued for hundreds more.
Meanwhile, a foreign ministry spokesman has said ousted President Mohammed Morsi is being held in a "safe place".
Badr Abdul Atti told reporters he did not know where the 61 year old was, but that he was being treated in a "very dignified manner".
"For his own safety , it is better to keep him in a safe place.
Mr Abdul Atti is reported to have denied that Mr Morsi was being detained at the Presidential Guard barracks in Cairo, as many believe.

Its supporters have since been staging protests outside the capital's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque, not far from the barracks, demanding his release and reinstatement.
The movement's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), has said it will not accept an offer to join the cabinet being set up by interim Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi, a 76-year-old economist and former finance minister who was appointed on Tuesday, which is better for the government as per many analysts.

'Remain peaceful'
Spokesman Gehad el-Haddad said the charges against Mr Badie, known as the General Guide, and other senior leaders, were "nothing more than an attempt by the police state to dismantle the Rabaa protest".
Prosecutors also said they had ordered 200 people - believed to be Brotherhood members - to be held in custody for at least 15 days pending further investigation into accusations of murder, incitement to violence, carrying unlicensed weapons and disrupting public order, which was recorded and shared on the internet. Another 450 have been released on bail.


But the police and the military, in our view, have acted in self-defence, and had opened fire only after being attacked by armed assailants and the crowd trying to enter the military premises, two of them are shot dead and more than 400 injured.
More than 50 Brotherhood supporters were killed.

The previous Friday, Mr Badie had appeared at a rally outside the mosque, telling the crowd: "We shall stay in the squares until we bring President Morsi back to power." in a very polarizing and terrorizing speech which was widely criticized by the majority of Egyptian for the amount of hatred and aggressiveness expressed by Badie. Further, Badie claims Islamic objectives and state, and all he and his group are doing is opposing the Islamic Law and religion, to the extent that a lot of lawyers are currently thinking of filing a law suit to ban the brotherhood from using the label Islam, as their actions is really damaging the image of Islam and is totally unacceptable by Islamic scholars and El Azhar the oldest Islamic University and Institution.
He said their protests would remain peaceful just for propaganda, however, it was not peaceful what so ever.
The BBC's Jim Muir, in Cairo, says the protest now covers several square kilometres of the capital, and to clear it out forcibly would almost certainly involve further bloodshed.

The timetable for new elections, announced in a constitutional declaration by interim President Adly Mansour on Monday evening, laid out plans to set up a panel to amend the suspended constitution within 15 days.
The changes would then be put to a referendum - to be organised within four months - which would pave the way for parliamentary elections, possibly in early 2014.
Once the new parliament convenes, elections would be called to appoint a new president.
A spokesman for Mr Mansour said posts in the cabinet would be offered to the FJP, but senior party official Mohamed Kamal told the BBC: "We will never take part in any cabinet as long as Morsi is not back as a president.", which is not realistic and not practically possible as he is refused by the majority of Egyptians, who went to protest against him in the largest political protests in the history of mankind.
The FJP's deputy chairman, Essam al-Erian, earlier said the constitutional declaration had been issued "by a man appointed by putschists". The text does make clear that Mr Mansour and his government draw their authority only from the commander of the armed forces, who deposed President Morsi, which is not real because the army's move was made after those wide protests, which made it clear that the majority of the Egyptian people really don't want him or his government for the total failure during the last two years to achieve any of the falsely expressed promises, specially electrical cuts, availability of gasoline, the constitution that he and his group has drafted without the participation of the majority of the Egyptians and specially the Christians, the security situation, and the underlying terrorism that his government is representing through history and specially after they came to power, specially that many revolutionist believe that the Brotherhood did not even participated in Jan revolution and were the only group who climb it and took its merits.
The main liberal coalition, the National Salvation Front (NSF), which has very week support in the streets, expressed reservations about the decree, saying it was not consulted and that it "lacks significant clauses while others need change or removal". At the time being Mr. El Baradei is among the few politicians which the majority of the Egyptians want in power, specially the revolutionists, Jan protesters and the 30 th Tamarod movement.
The grassroots Tamarod protest movement, which organised the demonstrations that led to Mr Morsi's overthrow, said the decree gave too much power to Mr Mansour.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait - who are opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood - have promised Egypt's interim government $12bn (£8bn) in grants, loans, and gas and oil, which made the American aid of a lesser importance to Egypt to the extent that many economist are asking to cancel it to avoid all the American interference in Egypt that result from it, specially describing the Egyptian Revolution as a coup by the army and their support to the Brothers party as they thought that would calm down the terrorists attacks in the US if those terrorist groups are included in the Egyptian Government, which is widely condemned by the majority of Egyptians who sees the US supporting terrorist groups which will eventually backfire against them, like the El Kaeda and Biladen back in history, while others see it as trying to lead the country into a civil war, which they tried before to make between Muslims and Christians, then Sunni and Shiest and now Brothers and liberals, which the Egyptian people are totally against and widely condemn. The average and majority of Egyptian People are far from aggressive and are very peaceful, and are against any form of radicalism or extremism, and have lived side by side for over 5000 years building the oldest civilization in the history of mankind, so they think they may not fall into this trap of civil war, and accordingly they are condemning the radical brotherhood government who brain wash the uneducated and less fortunate crowds, and US support to them.
May god bless the Egyptians and Egypt.
 Long live the Egyptian Revolution.
