Both candidates in what the United States called Egypt's "historic" presidential runoff over the weekend are claiming victory, the latest twist in the country's chaotic political upheaval.
A spokesman for Ahmed Shafik - the last prime minister to serve under deposed President Hosni Mubarak - said Tuesday that Shafik had won, state-run Nile TV reported.
At a news conference, Mahmoud Abu Baraka said the campaign was certain it had the correct numbers.
Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, claimed victory Monday. vowing to build an inclusive government. "No one's rights will be left out of it, and no one will dominate over the other," he said.
FULL STORY
What they don't mention is the fact that no one's rights will ever be a concern in a Muslim theocracy and that whatever Muslim gains power they will abuse it as they have always done for over a thousand years.
@Vote of No Confidence
Sure the only people who have abused power are 'them' over a thousand years. In 50 plus muslim countries around the world " no one has a right". You most certainly know your history and geo-politics.lol
@ Rascal Rabble
Don't bring Israel into all this.
Israel is the only reason i would support the muslim brotherhood, because they want to squash the zio nists. If they do, America better stay the f out of that conflict we owe them nothing. We need to end our 7 million dollars a day aid to this terror state
The muslim brotherhood are liers. They want sheria law, ask anyone who has lived in a muslim state, if it was a good experience, they will shurly say no. My co worker is ethiopian, and lived is sudan for a time. He said he would much rather have the dictatorship of Ethiopia then the shriea state of sudan.
Can't lose for winning!
The MuslimBrotherhood since its early formation was backed by CIA; under Ikes regime, as have so many radical Islamic movements, with the Saudi Royal familys financial backing, mainly to keep their neighbors fighting internally and not allow any secular governments to form and was"9illegal in Saudi lands.
Look at the guard in green, second row, second from left.
Why is Obama moonlighting as an Egyptian cop? Aren't you people paying him enough to be President?
lmao @ BOMBO, with all the insider trading going on, CONGRESS makes more than our POTUS. But since he works pretty much 24/7 i dont believe he has much time for moonlighting! 😉
