Oh geeees.. that's happens daily here and no one raises a squawk.. well a few do..
A Egyptian friend of mine says it is clear that Al Jazerra is openly supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And I am convinced that the Muslim Brotherhood clearly is a terrorist organization. Parts of it actually do the acts, other parts plan them, but hide from the responsibility.
Go Sisi!

Good deal! I hope Egypt cleans out that rat’s nest of the Muslim Brotherhood!

what people don’t seem to get is that the Muslim Brotherhood was is the primary breeding ground for Al Quaeda.
That the egyptians should turn agains the MB is a huge victory for the US war against terror.
Apparently obama’s support for the MB has been the kiss of death.
Great maybe he can kiss the mullas in iran.
