The Brotherhood and external plot

BROTHERHOOD leader Mohammed Badie and another Brotherhood strongman Khairat Al-Shater held conferences during which they delivered hostile messages. It reinforced the rumor circulating over the past few days that the two are running the party and the government and President Muhammad Mursi is only for show.
But the president’s retreat that revoked the unconstitutional edict confirmed that he is still in the cockpit and the aggressive speech by Badie and Al-Shater had no effect on the crisis. It was, in fact, a bad tactic.
Mursi’s latest presidential announcement was the most important thing he did since assuming office which shows he is a wise politician, pragmatic, rational and not dogmatic. He realizes that the country is more important than face-saving. And that differences with the opposition can be resolved and this is part of his presidential duties. His decision narrowed the rift, strengthened his position on the street, embarrassed the opposition and most importantly, this saved the new Egyptian regime from collapse that could lead to clashes and perhaps the intervention of the army and the return to point zero.
What Badie claimed and was echoed by Al-Shater was the existence of an internal and external conspiracy and linked it with the opposition in Egypt. The least that can be said about it is that it is nonsense and a blatant attempt to escape from the crisis instead of solving it. The opposition did not wake up one morning and showed defiance, which would make us believe it's a conspiracy. They did not object to the election results won by Mursi by only one percent, so that we can say there are instigators behind them!
The president had decided to control the judiciary, fire the attorney general, declare a constitution that fits Brotherhood only, giving his decisions an immunity from being challenged — an action that breaches the rules and goes against what he had sworn to do. Is it strange then that after these horrible actions his partners, opposition groups and Egyptian people came out to the streets and staged protests? Of course, this was expected, which his mentor and Al-Shater did not anticipate, repeating the mantra: "Let’s eat them for lunch before they eat us for dinner," which they said when the leaders of the military were deposed, then repeated it when the attorney general was let go, until the mantra lost its credibility.
Mursi became a legitimate president, and it’s expected of him to abide by the rules and not override them. And when he did, demonstrations rocked Egypt and proved that the Brotherhood is not the only representative of the people, but rather represents only a faction. The Egyptian people expressed their rejection of Mursi’s decisions, particularly as he borrowed the saying of the great Caliph Omar ibn Al-Khattab, which loosely translated means "… Help me first, but then correct me if I do wrong.”
What have internal and external conspiracies to do with the Egyptian people taking to the streets and protesting against the president's decisions? Especially after both sides traded insults and poured fuel on the fire as well as the adoption of the constitution according to the Brotherhood that was submitted to a referendum?
We all understand the innuendos of the Brotherhood leader and Al-Shater about third parties; they mean the Gulf and elsewhere. The fact of the matter is that these countries are fundamental pillars in the stability of Egypt since the fall of the regime of Hosni Mubarak, until now and not vice versa. The Brotherhood realizes that a large number of followers of the group are Egyptians working in the Gulf countries for decades and support the movement materially and culturally, and no one objected or stood in their way.
Certainly, there is concern over the rise of the Brotherhood and its holding of government by virtue of its close alliance with Iran, the main enemy of Gulf states. But like all the other regimes in the region we have to accept and coexist with them, for they are the choice of the Egyptian people, and that we must respect. Additionally, all indicators show that President Mursi’s politics are reassuring so far. However, these countries do not usually get involved in internal problems and disputes in other states, based only on certain anxieties and misgivings.
The leader and the rest of the Brotherhood must understand that their main problem, if not the only one, is to solve the problems of Egyptian citizens and meet their expectations. This would not be possible without reconciliation with local forces and without stopping blaming others across the border.
