EGYPT: 110 INJURED AS ISLAMIC SUPREMACISTS CRUSH SECULAR DISSENT IN CAIRO
The leftist shills and Islamic apologists here in the US will meet the same fate as their leftist counterparts in Egypt (and Tunisia, etc.). It is only a matter of time.
Who can forget when Wael Ghonim, the Facebook 'freedom fighter who organized the revolution' in Egypt, was banned from the stage by Egypt's new Hitler, Sheik Qaradawi, in February 2011 after the ouster of Mubarak? That took all of five minutes. The real reforms came under Mubarak when Bush was in power. Liberal reform was a requisite under Bush for US aid. It wasn't until the Democrats took power in 2006 that those reforms were abandoned like much of Bush's pro-freedom foreign policy. And now the world is being consumed by this monstrous jihadist take-over. Obama would have done well to keep Mubarak in power and force the kind of reform the liberals and secularists were hungry for. But Obama had been instrumental in the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Freedom was never an Obama foreign policy objective.
The disagreement over the constitutions centers on whether or not it will transform Egypt into an Islamic state. If these "clashes" escalate, it will be interesting to see which side will get the backing of the American Left, which has fully supported the Islamic supremacists. But it's not likely they will break with their Islamic supremacist friends -- to do so would be "Islamophobic.""Egypt's liberals and Islamists clash; 110 injured," from Reuters, October 12 (thanks to VQ):CAIRO - Opponents and supporters of Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi clashed in Cairo on Friday in the first street violence between rival factions since the Islamist leader took office.Islamists and their opponents threw stones and bottles, and some fought hand-to-hand, showing how feelings still run high between the rival groups trying to shape the new Egypt after decades of autocracy, even though the streets have generally been calmer since Mursi's election in June.The Health Ministry said 110 people had sustained light to moderate injuries, state media reported.A government is in place, but Islamists and liberals are at loggerheads over the drafting of the new constitution, which must be agreed before a new parliament can be elected.Many of the thousands who gathered in Tahrir Square were angry at this week's court ruling that acquitted former officials charged with ordering a camel and horseback charge on protesters in the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak last year.But even before that ruling, Mursi's opponents had called for protests against what they say is his failure to deliver on his promises for his first 100 days in office."Down, down with rule by the guide," Mursi's opponents chanted, suggesting that Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie pulls the strings even though Mursi officially quit the Brotherhood on taking office."Mursi, Mursi," the president's backers responded.Some demonstrators pulled down a temporary podium that had been erected on one side of the square for speeches. Later, Islamists took over the square, triggering scuffles in nearby streets as they tried to keep rival groups out."We went to protest against the constituent assembly and Mursi's failure in his 100 days, and Islamists prevented us and are now controlling the square," said Islam Wagdy, 19.There was no intervention by police, who have often been the target of protesters' anger in the past because of their brutality against demonstrators in last year's revolt.Camel chargers acquittalsThe Brotherhood, which joined Friday's protest, had put the focus for the demonstration on this week's court ruling.The charge by men on camels and horseback was one of the most violent incidents of the uprising that ousted Mubarak in February 2011. The case has been closely watched by those seeking justice for the hundreds killed in the revolt.The court acquitted top Mubarak-era officials such as former lower house speaker Fathi Sorour and Mubarak aide Safwat Sherif, both of whom are detested by many Egyptians.Demonstrators also gathered in Egypt's second city of Alexandria, where Mursi went to a mosque to perform Friday prayers before giving a speech there....Many more secular-minded Egyptians and minority Christians also worry that Mursi and his Islamist supporters will seek to impose religious restrictions on society.No kidding, really?
This is not just haappening in Egypt.
