Egypt\'s new President Mohammed Morsi is condemning the U.S.-made video denigrating Islam\'s Prophet Muhammad as an obscenity. He insists that freedom of expression does not allow for attacks on any religion.
Morsi also condemned the violence that swept Muslim countries in reaction to the video, including an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed the American ambassador and three other U.S. citizens.
Morsi\'s remarks Wednesday, as he made his debut on the global stage at the United Nations, were in direct opposition to President Barack Obama\'s insistence on all countries protecting freedom of speech at the General Assembly a day earlier.
Morsi opened his remarks by celebrating himself as Egypt\'s first democratically elected leader.

Saudi media outlets have reported that the country\'s interior minister, Mohammed bin Nayef, will take over the intelligence chief post following his return from a trip to the US.
Saudi media outlets, citing Western security sources, say Mohammed bin Nayef will succeed Bandar bin Sultan as the intelligence chief. Nayef will also take over a number of external security affairs which have no relation with the intelligence department of the Interior Ministry. Bandar bin Sultan is accused of masterminding the terrorist networks that train and finance terrorists in Syria and some other countries in the region. Political analysts believe that the new appointment is being made to enhance the influence of Nayef in the government, especially in the area of ties with the US.

[22 June 2012] Egypt What is happening And what should happen Comment - English
Thousands of angry Egyptians have camped out in the historic square since Wednesday, calling on the military council to quit power immediately as the electoral authorities delayed the announcement of the final results of the presidential run-off on Thursday as scheduled. Egypt's election committee said on Wednesday they want to look into all complaints from the two candidates before making an announcement. The protesters say the move could be a sign that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is trying to declare former premier Ahmed Shafiq the winner.
Egyptians cast their ballots in a two-day presidential runoff election on June 16 and 17, which pitted the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Mohammed Morsi, against Shafiq. On June 18, a member of the Egyptian Electoral Committee confirmed that Morsi is in the lead in the country's run-off presidential election. Early on the day, the Brotherhood had declared Morsi's victory over Shafiq in the voting. Officials from the group had said that Morsi has won 52.5 percent of the counted ballots.
