Morsi was born in 1951, and studied engineering at Cairo University, before receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in 1982.[2]. He then went on to teach at California State University, Northridge.[3] After teaching there for some years he returned to Egypt, and was an MP from 2000 - 2005.[4]
On November 22, 2012 Morsi had approved a series of decrees exempting himself and members of Parliament from legal challenges against any decisions he may take in his rule[5][6].
In his tenure Morsi started to improve the relationships with Iran.[7] He also said that Zionists are "the descendants of apes and pigs."[8]
During the elections Morsi once said:
| “ | The Koran is our constitution. The Prophet is our leader. Jihad is our way. The death of God is our noblest desire. | ” |
Morsi is a supporter of Terrorism and has called it "the correct and only way to free the land from the filth of the Jews”".[9] During the Benghazi Attack some offenders screamed “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, Dr. Morsi sent us.” in egyptian dialect during their attack.[10]
The egyptian people fought against the Islamisation of Egypt and protested against Morsi in 2013. On July 3, 2013 the military deposed Morsi.[11]
