President Morsi has ushered in radical changes to Egypt. I hope the CIA has read the new Egyptian constituion. I have not. Supposedly it was to create a permanent and more fair democracy, but, the people are not accepting. Even Mohamed ElBaradei is calling for unrelenting opposition.
They are afraid of the changes to their country. They are worried their country is going to end up being ruled by something so foreign it belongs to the Taliban. President Morsi is not instilling confidence in his people.
President Morsi's speech was "very tough", says the BBC's Aleem Maqbool in Cairo

...Dr. Abdel-Raham Farah says Mahmoud Abdel-Halim al-Dizawi, a soccer player in Port Said's Al-Marikh club, was shot three times and died.
He says Tamer al-Fahla, a soccer player who used to play for the city's main Al-Masry team, was also shot dead on his way to Al-Marikh club.
The club is near a prison residents tried to storm Saturday to free defendants in the soccer trial. The military has been deployed to try and restore security.
Two deaths occurred in the soccer incident. I am not saying it was right, but, there were 21 defendants now sentenced to death and that, given the state of affairs in the populous, is leading to greater fear of the changes in the government.

CAIRO -- Deadly clashes (click here) erupted in the Egyptian city of Port Said after 21 soccer hooligans were sentenced to death for killing rival fans in a riot last year that became a dangerous subplot to the nation’s wider unrest and political schisms.
