Dr. Pipes

This is straight from the MB twitter feed

الرئيس #مرسي هو البطل بلا منازع , هو الرائع , هو الخليفة الجديد , هو كابتن ماجد

And this tweet says: With Allah's permission after the success of our revolution inside Midan el-Tahrir and the return of the rule of law tomorrow we will build the biggest statue for the Mandela of the Arabs, Morsi, inside Midan el-Tahrir

Comparing Morsi to Mandela is an insult to all of humanity in general and to Mandela in particular after all Mandela believed that all human beings are equal compare it with Morsi who believed that it is OK to teart 60% of Egyptians (Copts and women and Shia and Sufis and Bahaees and Athesists) as second class citizens

Oh and I thought that statues are haram in Islam or am I missing something here?
