Springtime for the Egyptian Nazi Party

Signs, like the one above, depicting  Hosni Mubarak as Adolf Hitler, were pretty common during the Egyptian uprising, co-existing peacefully with signs depciting him as a pawn of Israel. But a small number of Egyptians have also apparently taken his downfall as an opportunity to emulate the Fuhrer. Al-Masry Al-Youm reports:

A group of Egyptians have announced their intent to establish a Nazi party with "a contemporary frame of reference," an independent Egyptian news website said on Wednesday.

Al-Badeel, a leftist news portal, quoted founding member Emad Abdel Sattar as saying the party would bring together prominent figures from the Egyptian society. The party’s founding deputy is a former military official.

The party believes in vesting all powers in the president after selecting him or her carefully, Abdel Sattar said, adding that preparations are underway to choose the most competent person to represent the party. 

The Nazi party operated secretly under former President Hosni Mubarak, whose regime prevented party leaders from carrying out their activities freely.

I’m always a little confused about the emergence of neo-Nazis in places like Egypt and Mongolia. Did they not read about the whole Aryan race thing?
