Mohammed Morsi dies in court

The former Egyptian "president" who briefly held the spot during the so-called Arab Spring died of a heart attack during a court trial:
Egypt's former president Mohammed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader who rose to office in the country's first free elections in 2012 and was ousted a year later by the military, collapsed in court during a trial and died Monday, state TV and his family said.It was miraculous the populace rose up against Morsi, thwarting the Muslim Brotherhood's potential rise to more power. Much like Mubarak, Morsi deserved all the failure he got. Good riddance to such a horrible pest.
The 67-year-old Morsi had just addressed the court, speaking from the glass cage he is kept in during sessions and warning that he had "many secrets" he could reveal, a judicial official said. A few minutes afterward, he collapsed in the cage, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press.
Morsi was a longtime senior figure in Egypt's most powerful Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. He was elected in 2012 in the country's first free presidential election, held a year after an Arab Spring uprising ousted Egypt's longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak. His Muslim Brotherhood also held a majority in parliament.
The military, led by then-defence minister Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, ousted Morsi after massive protests against the Brotherhood's domination of power. El-Sisi was subsequently elected president and has waged a massive crackdown on Islamists and other opponents since.
“Al Qaeda seeks to destroy the Jewish state completely.
Much of its rhetoric and some of its attacks
suggest that it sees international Jewry
and Israel as interchangeable.
The group’s rhetoric is also viciously
anti-Semitic in addition to being anti-Israel.”

QUESTION:
This quote is only about Al Qaeda,
but should we believe that other
radical Islamic terrorist organizations,
with almost-identical beliefs,
would behave differently?

Mr. Daniel Byman said:

[suicide bombing] is at least sometimes justified...”

Daniel Byman said:
Textbooks in Saudi schools denigrate non-
believers and the West and extol martyrdom.
For example, Time magazine reported that
“an 8th grade book states that Allah cursed Jews and
Christians and turned some of them into apes and pigs.
Ninth-graders learn that Judgment Day will not come
“until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.”
A chapter for a 10th-grade class warns Muslims
against befriending non-Muslims saying,
“It is compulsory for Muslims to be loyal to
each other and consider the infidels their enemy.”

At a [year] 1937 [CE] lecture to the British
Foreign Ministry, the King of Saudi Arabia said:
“Verily, the word of Allah teaches us,
and we implicitly believe this…
for a Muslim to kill a Jew…
ensures him immediate entry into Heaven…”

PERSONAL COMMENT:
Notice that those words were spoken BEFORE
year 1967 CE and BEFORE year 1948 CE.

“For Hamas, the Israeli enemy is more
than just a geo-strategic opponent.
It is, rather, a delegated religious target
slated for annihilation, one whose obligatory
and violent elimination will confer blessedly
eternal life upon the Islamic sacrificer”.

Professor A.J. Caschetta said:
“The truth is that no amount
of respect will satisfy Islamists.
Since the end of World War II, U.S.
policy makers have nearly always sided
with Muslims against their enemies.
For decades, U.S. administrations sided
with Muslim Pakistan over Hindu India.
U.S. power and technology liberated
Afghanistan from the Soviet Union,
Kuwait from Iraq, and Bosnia and Kosovo
from Yugoslavia.
Americans have fought—and some have died—
to save starving Muslims in Somalia
and flooded Muslims in Indonesia.
In 1982, U.S. power even saved
the loathsome PLO from destruction
by Israel in Lebanon.
And, in spite of all this, the United States
remains the No. 1 target of Islamic supremacists.
U.S. policymakers should recognize that
no act of kindness, no amount of aid
and no military rescue mission will
ever be enough to appease Islamists.”
