Cairo: The detention of the editor-in-chief of an Egyptian daily newspaper, who was charged with insulting President Mohammed Mursi, has added fuel to the planned protests against Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed his presidential bid.

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has no immediate plans to restore ties with Iran, his spokesman said in comments published Saturday ahead of a landmark visit to Tehran later this month for a Non-Aligned Movement summit.
"The matter (of restoring diplomatic ties) is out of the question at this stage," Yasser Ali told the Saudi-owned newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat in an interview also carried by Egyptian media.

Morsi will spend only four hours in Tehran on August 30, long enough to hand over the presidency of the Non-Aligned Movement to the Islamic republic, Egypt's state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper reported.

The Egyptian president will stop in Tehran on his way back from a 36-hour visit to China, the country he chose for his first major international outing, Al-Ahram added.

Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi has urged the Nonaligned Movement to back Syria's rebels, saying the Bashar Assad government has lost its legitimacy. Morsi's speech prompted a walkout by the Syrian delegation. It was also a slap in the face of the summit's host, Iran, which remains a firm supporter of the Assad government.

Exactly jma, and now the USA has built up a country that needs the rest of their oil more that the USA has needed it over the last 30 yrs. I was going to change the title of this thread last night, but I crashed early. All the events in this thread have been outlining the trend that I see as an inevitability in the Middle East. The Atlantic article above states that.. "Dependence on Middle Eastern Oil: Now It's China's Problem, Too" I see it more as; the Middle East is now dependent on China, and the USA is passing the challenges off to China to deal with while the American Renaissance happens.

Iran condemns US for taking group off terror list
news.yahoo.com/iran-condemns-us-taking-group-off-terror-list-121959426.html

The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which began as a guerrilla movement fighting Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, helped overthrow the monarch in 1979 then quickly fell out with the Islamic Republic's first leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. It fought in the 1980s alongside Saddam's forces in the eight-year Iran-Iraq war but disarmed after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The State Department delisted the group on Friday, meaning that any assets the MEK has in the United States are unblocked and Americans can do business with the organization. On Saturday, at their Paris headquarters, MEK members gathered to celebrate, tossing flower petals and displaying photos of members killed in the past 15 years.

"We call on the international community to respect the will of the Iranian people for a regime change in Iran," Maryam Rajavi, the Paris-based head of the exiled opposition group, said Saturday.

In the end, some 10,000 names were attached to the petition addressed to Iran's labor minister in one of the most wide-reaching public outcries over the state of the country's economy, which has received a double pounding from tightening Western sanctions and alleged mismanagement by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government.

A teacher in southern Egypt punished two 12-year-old schoolgirls for not wearing the Muslim headscarf by cutting their hair, the father of one girl said Wednesday, in an incident that stokes concerns over personal rights following the rise of Islamist political movements.

The governor of Luxor province where the incident occurred called the teacher's actions "shameful" and said she had been transferred to another school. But rights groups say that some Islamic conservatives have been emboldened by the success of groups like Muslim Brotherhood and the ultraconservative Salafi trend in parliamentary and presidential elections and have been increasingly brazen about forcing their standards on other Egyptians.
