  2. Funny behaviour for – what was it again – oh yes, “the forces of light and freedom”.

  3. Just think of it as a ‘dialogue with sticks, stones and pitchforks’.
    Wael Abdel-Fattah, a cultural columnist at Al-Tahrir newspaper and a sharp critic of the Islamists, said Moqattam shattered the myth of an “invincible” Brotherhood and showed no one has a monopoly on force.
    “The violence started when the means for political protesting were shut,” he said. He spoke of “a new kind of balance in violence,” adding, “This balance can either create a new political awareness or push toward more violence, where everyone knows they will pay the price.”
    This is what happens when ‘free speech’ is driven derisively from the town square and the so called ‘authorities’ hear but cease to listen.

  5. People still haven’t learned that all theocracies have to offer is death. Nature of the beast.

  6. But it will decades to get to democracy(according to ET). Hopefully by that time all the TROP cultists will have killed each other off. Other wise,not a snowball’s chance in H%%^ of that happening.

    We looked around and then we found
    The man for you and me.
    And now it’s..
    Springtime for Morsi and Brotherhood

    Springtime for Morsi and Brotherhood
    Come on, brothers, go into your trance

    Springtime for Morsi and Brotherhood
    Means that soon we’ll be going
    We’ve got to be going
    TO WAR!

  13. I find the secularist response to Brotherhood thuggery very encouraging. As long as they are violent and agitated it is very difficult to get a solid hold on power.

  14. The article stated that both sides were dragging reps from the other side into mosks and beating them there.
    One side is labeled ‘Morsi/Muslim Brotherhood’ the other side is simply named ‘Opponents’.
    None of the people interviewed claimed to be secular.

  15. only place on earth that has been waiting for 4000 years to surpass its former glory.

  16. Oz (1:10 PM), you’re right that the none of the men fighting these pitched battles against the Brotherhood claimed to be secular, exactly, but these battles seem to be between Islamists and non-Islamists” —

    “Young protesters were seen at one point pelting a Brotherhood member with firebombs and setting him aflame. Others chased anyone with a conservative Muslim beard…”
    “…popular television comedian, Bassem Youssef, whose Jon Stewart-style satires of Morsi drive Islamists into knots of anger.”
    “For opponents of Morsi, the battle was a sign that anger at the (Muslim) Brotherhood is spreading beyond its circles to the broader public..”
    “Many in the anti-Morsi camp said they were bringing their protests to the real power in the country – the Brotherhood. The 85-year-old fundamentalist group forms the backbone of Morsi’s leadership…”

    The observation that “(the protesters) were also fired with with anger over previous Islamist violence against them” suggests that it’s a battle between Islamists and non-Islamists, and that a lot of Egyptians (who knows how many?) don’t want to be – refuse to be – ruled by Islamists.

  17. Well, well.
    We may want to frame this AP news release.
    They actually used the word “islamist” in said article.
    According to Rush today, AP is no longer going to use the term as, it seems, all news outlets become lapdogs for the left.
    The West is doomed.

  19. You would think its ramadam already. Tearing each other apart already before they can take over the West.Thats our one hope. That they hate Muslims who don’t toe the line more than us.

  20. Look at the bright side. At least they are too busy killing each other all over the ME to bother Israel. Hmmm? I wonder, is Israel stirring the pot in a few countries there?

  21. -“Young protesters were seen at one point pelting a Brotherhood member with firebombs and setting him aflame. Others chased anyone with a conservative Muslim beard…”-
    There, it isn’t necessarily a contest between Islamist and non-Islamist*. It’s the eternal contest between youth and experience.
    It is, after all, Cairo Egypt. People wear beards for the sake of tradition too.
    I do concede that your point may be valid. However, it’s a stretch to label these youths as secular when none of them claims to be so.
    It is, after all, Cairo Egypt we’re talking about here.
    *me against my brother…my brother and me against our father… our family against the tribe…our tribe against the provincial governor…

  22. I propose we send over two shiploads of flame throwers, 1 shipload for each side..

  24. Nothing petty about it, douche bag. It’s a big deal to make an unsupported claim, as ET/the MSM/Obama Regime did when Mubarak was being overthrown, that it was the secularists behind the overthrow.
    In fact, the very term ‘Arab Spring’ was meant to imply that there was a sea-change occurring which would bring in a secular democratic wave in Egypt and the middle east.
    Not so says I and not a few others.

  26. OK, attempt again-

  27. I see this having a much wider impact. Throughout the MENA, islamists have claimed broad popular support…which in Eygpt seems to be false.
    Even in the USA, the Obamination is seeing a popular backlash…
    The silent majority is a sleeping giant…

  28. It is conceivable that many of the ‘Opponents’ are Islamists too. They’re just from another faction than Morsi’s.
    Arabs are a fractious bunch, you know, and they are well known to temporarily align with others not-of-their-faction to overthrow their enemy.
    What was that middle eastern saying?
    “Ah, yes: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

  29. In reality, the uprising against Mubarak was secular initially. The Brotherhood initially didn’t participate. They have since taken advantage of events. The Salafists are currently allies with the Brotherhood. That really only leaves secularists as the opposition. But if you have some evidence that says otherwise by all means provide it.

  30. But if you have some evidence that says otherwise by all means provide it.
    Well, a few Egyptian bloggers(well one anyway) claimed it was secular. The onus was on you to provide the proof of your assertion.
    That said, since myself and others asserted from the beginning that it was the Muslim Brotherhood behind the overthrow and that the Muslim Brotherhood has in fact formed the government since, I’ll stand on that as all the evidence I need that we were correct in our assertion and that you and your ilk were lead astray by your overly-hopeful estranged-from-reality expectations.
    In short, that Egyptian blogger was leading y’all down the garden path by nothing more than your hope…and still is.

  31. The Salafists are currently allies with the Brotherhood.
    The Brotherhood are Salafis, yes.
    There are factions though and Arab factions tend to in-fighting, a lot.
    It’s tribalism.
    They tend to follow individual Sheiks/Imams/Ayatollahs in a cult-like way. You should listen to their speeches sometime, then compare them to Hitler’s speeches.(you don’t even have to understand what they’re saying, it’s the tone)
    me against my brother…my brother and me against our father… our family against the tribe…our tribe against the provincial governor…
    Arab culture in a nutshell.

  32. These Muslims would be lapping up Shariah like sugar if they were not broke and about to get very hungry. There are many factors in place, enough to discount a prediction. The only sure thing is that Hotel rates are going to be a sweet deal if you like “living on the edge” vacations.

  34. it was the Muslim Brotherhood behind the overthrow
    That’s factually wrong. Look I know it’s too much to expect you to know anything other than what Pamela Geller handfeeds you but can just pull your head out? The MB was hesitant to even join the initial uprising. That’s a fact. I followed the Egyptian revolution everyday and that’s what happened. Further, the MB are not primarily Salafists. That’s the Nour party.

  35. Who is Pamela Geller? Never heard of her.
    Claiming it’s a fact that the Muslim Brotherhood were hesitant to claim a part of the initial uprising doesn’t make it a fact that they weren’t behind it.
    What, pray tell, is your explanation for them ending up in the driver’s seat, even before the election and, additionally, that myself and others who claimed that they were behind the overthrow and would end up not only governing but imposing an Islamic Republic with Sharia Law, being correct all they way down the line in what we were saying?
    your answer should be a doozy in pretzel logic
