A news report from Egypt this morning featured a comment as predictable as it was chilling. A leader of the Egyptian revolution two years ago declared that his country’s Muslim Brotherhood president, Mohamed Morsi, is “worse than Mubarak.”

With Morsi declaring a state of emergency in three provinces following murderous suppression of weekend rioting, the Egyptians have traded out a secular autocrat for an Islamist tyrant. And yes, thanks to the Brotherhood’s commitment to imposing totalitarian shariah law, Morsi’s misrule is certain to prove worse than Mubarak’s.

Coming on top of recent revelations of Morsi’s hatred for Israel, it’s becoming impossible to justify unconditional U.S. arms sales and financial assistance to Egypt. Such actions put us on the side of shariah and its adherents, which is not where America should be.
