What can you do except shake your head and wonder where he gets the drugs that must be clouding his brain.
We watch as Egypt becomes our worst nightmare. We may be seeing the buildup to a repeat of war with Egypt and it's friendly neighbors against Israel. Pray that it doesn't happen.

Egypt presidential candidate 'will push for sharia
CAIRO — The Muslim Brotherhood's candidate for Egypt's presidency, Khairat el-Shater, has pledged to press for the implementation of sharia (Islamic law) if elected, a Muslim think tank said on Wednesday.
Shater, whose candidacy for the May election sent political shock waves throughout the post-uprising country, said implementing the sharia was "his first and final goal," said the Legal Authority for Rights and Reform after meeting with him on Tuesday.
Shater, who stepped down as the Brotherhood's deputy leader to run, said "he would work to form a group of scholars to support parliament in achieving that goal," according to a statement on the group's website.
When asked by AFP, a senior official with Shater's campaign did not deny the statement, but clarified that Shater shared his electoral programme with the Brotherhood's political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party.
The FJP calls for an "Islamic, constitutional and democratic" state, but not a "theocracy," which it defines as rule by religious men. The Muslim Brotherhood advocates an Islamist state achieved through peaceful means.
The official said Shater, who has refused interview requests, would prioritise "democratic institution building and an economic renaissance" if elected.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he added that Shater "is committed to the constitution and Article 2, which all Egyptians agree on."
The constitution was suspended by the military after an uprising overthrew president Hosni Mubarak last year. Article 2 stipulates that the principles of Islamic law are the main source of legislation.
But there is not universal interpretation of sharia.
No school of Islamic jurisprudence tells Muslims NOT to stone a adulteress or murder a gay or cut off hands and feet as per sharia. The only subtle difference is the amount of sharia practiced. Sharia IS sharia.

MB lives under Sharia law. It is crewel, unbelievablely painful, heartless. They think nothing of cutting off a persons hands for stealing a loaf of bread. That is to remind this person that they should never steal again. They mame there own children, mates, there is no stopping their terror. Egypt made a big mistake. What were they thinking?? Now Israel is being surrounded. We should be there for them, but obama is shrinking our armed forces, folks he is a muslim with a shria heart. Vicki
