Egypt: Islamist-Led Uprising In Tahrir Square Spinning Out of Control, 4,000 Protesters In Violent Clashes With Military…
CAIRO (MSNBC) — Cairo police fought protesters demanding an end to army rule for a third day on Monday and morgue officials said the death toll had risen to 33, making it the worst spasm of violence since the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.
The bloodshed in and around Cairo’s Tahrir Square, epicenter of the anti-Mubarak revolt, threatens to disrupt Egypt’s first free parliamentary election in decades, due to start next week.
Police attacked a makeshift hospital in the square after dawn on Monday but were driven back by protesters hurling chunks of concrete from smashed pavements, witnesses said.
“Don’t go out there, you’ll end up martyrs like the others,” protesters told people emerging from a metro station at Tahrir Square, where about 4,000 had gathered by midday.
But there is one very big difference this time. The Muslim Brotherhood and its Salafi allies are leading the charge.
(RT) — There’s growing belief among some commentators that the Muslim Brotherhood may be behind the new protests in Cairo. Jerusalem Post author and correspondent Yaakov Lappin says that there is a chance that Islamists could eventually take power in Egypt.
“Unlike the first round, the first time that Egypt blew up with this kind of anti-regime violence, the Muslim Brotherhood is now leading these demonstrations, this civil unrest,” he told RT.
“The Muslim Brotherhood has gone from being a low-profile stealthy player to being very much a higher-profile one, because it senses that its time has come.”
The biggest threat coming from the movement’s potential victory, Lappin pointed out, are the views it promotes.
“If you look just at some of the statements that have been coming out of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and its new party, the Freedom and Justice Party, they are saying that nobody in Egypt would dare even question the notion that Islamic law, Sharia, should be the law of the land, which is, I’m sure, a statement that a lot of factions in Egypt would disagree with,” he explained.
According to the journalist, other leaders in Egypt are already saying that those who question the idea that Sharia should be the law of the land, are being described as adulterers, alcoholics, and drug addicts.
“This process of demonizing anybody who is opposed to this fundamentalist view is already underway,” he said, also adding that up until now, the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision for Egypt has not been a moderate one.

-It’s never too early to campaign-
Our tax dollars at work…the State Dept. has lost its relevance, purpose, and should lose its funding…
Iranian “Revolution” play by play.
Kick out the “shah” – Check
Military takes over – Check
Islamists return from exile – Check
Islamists run “moderately for elections” – Check
Second “revolution” against military – in progress
Islamists take over goverment – planned
This is almost funny…………….almost, but not quite. Reader (above) lays it out nicely and succinctly. So predictable by many except our Dept of State.
Wanna guess who will win?
The original uprising was anti-Mubarak, and was supposed to be pro-Democracy.
This OWS action by the Muslim Brotherhood is to oust the military, who figured out that if there is an election, the country will turn into a fanatical interpretation of the Koran / Sharia Law based nation.
Demonstrations were also taking place in Alexandria, Ismailia, SUEZ, (where OWS Egypt / alQaeda is threatening to shut it down).
Way to go, Barry!
making it the worst spasm of violence since
So could t his imply that the Muzz Bro’s & the UN are sending little puffs of nerve gas somewhere upon the people?
The mind does tend to wander a bit.
The future of OWS.
Are they using pepper spray. If so alert Joyless Be-har-har.
‘the Muslim Brotherhood is now leading these demonstrations’.. and the Egyptian military knows the fate that awaits them if the MB is not suppressed again like Mubarak did.. expect a no quarter war to the death..
These rioters are now 100% known to be led by the Muslim Brotherhood, and are pushing for a Koranic / Sharia law nation.
Do you think we hear one peep out of Barry?
The violence is escalating; there is a rising death toll.
Now what will Barry do?
Who will he support this time?
Or will he vote “present”?
I went to the Occupation in Los Angeles over the weekend and got a sense that Egypt is America’s future if these radicals get their way.

It is just a matter of time before we have riots on a national scale, surpassing anything we’ve seen yet.
“demonizing their opponents”and when they sense they may not get their way, resorting to violence and demands.
Sounds like the Muslim Brotherhood has taken some lessons from the American Left.
Here they are, nasty, ungrateful, angry, snarling, vicious little- and may I add dangerous son’s of bixxxes- Obama decided he’d one up Bush and get us in involved in their pitbull fight ..he somehow determined who should win? Meanwhile..the race baiter’s true BLACK brothers an sisters are currently being slaughtered in Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan.. you know- all by these ravenous dogs! But really, they aren’t his brothers and sisters now, are they?
Tell us what democracy looks like, this is what democracy looks like.
Blue Collar Todd.. true..
‘During the socialist experiment in Egypt, where I grew up, in every speech the revolutionary dictator, Gamal Abdel Nasser, would fly into a rage against what he called the corrupt rich, large owners of agricultural land and the big companies, robbing the wealth from the poor Egyptian people.
Nasser nationalized all the companies and banks; and limited ownership of the land to a few acres per family. Private enterprise was virtually gone, limited to just little stores and apartment buildings. But then even the owners of apartment buildings were demonized as greedy, and Nasser punished them by introducing severe rent control. Rents were sometimes cut by more than 400%, and stayed at that level for life. The result was that buildings were virtually abandoned by their owners, who could no longer afford to maintain them; many neighborhoods turned into slums. As no one built rental buildings any more, there was a horrific shortage of apartments for rent. In a few years, two — then three –families started living together in one apartment; some of the poor people Nasser said he loved made cemeteries their homes.
Several years after pitting the rich against the poor, everyone in Egypt became poor. Even people who had previously enjoyed money struggled to survive — Except for the political class.
The president, his family, his cronies, his cabinet and military leaders became the new rich class, as well as the major employers for everyone, as unemployment was rampant everywhere else. The sons and relatives of the Egyptian president cruised around Cairo in expensive foreign cars while 95% of Egyptians stuffed themselves uncomfortably into publicly-owned buses.
What socialism does is to remove the private sector from being the rich, and replace it with a useless political class that understands nothing about running a business for profit. When the private sector was in charge, the economy grew; when the government was in charge, the economy declined.’

‘USG Collaborating with the Enemy
The following are brief summaries of notable recent interactions between senior Muslim Brotherhood leadership in America and top U.S. government officials. An entire book could be written on just this topic, but these paint a dangerous and incomprehensible relationship between the enemy and those charged with protecting American citizens.
In a March 2011 speech given at a Muslim Brotherhood front organization called the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) in Sterling, Virginia,Deputy National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Denis McDonough praised Imam Mohamed Majid as the Executive Director of ADAMS and as the President of ISNA. McDonough said, in part: “President Obama was very grateful you (Majid) led the prayer at the White House for last summer’s Iftar Dinner…Thank you also for being one of our nation’s leading voices for the values that make America so strong, especially religious freedom and tolerance. Whether it’s here at ADAMS or as the President of the Islamic Society of North America, you have spoken with passion and eloquence, not only about your own Islamic faith, but for the need to build bridges as you’ve demonstrated here.” These comments constitute public praise (material support) for a known financial support entity of Hamas – a designated terrorist organization.
Again, this year in August, Imam Majid attended the Iftar Dinner at the White House and met with the President.’…
