Egyptians Turning on Each Other (EGYPT LIVE THREAD # 2)

You just quoted the “Mahdi”, the Islamic nation prophesied in the Koran to lead a revolution in the name of Islam, (Iran) and from it, will establish Islamic rule over the world. And get this; They say that the new Islam will become one single nation formed from several. They will form a “Unity” based Islamic empire.

I am sure Iran also said that this would happen within one year after Mubarak falls, because they have a nuke ready to be revealed.

This is beyond serious now, and the rest of the World sits by and does nothing, hoping it will just go away.

Well, Iran and the Shias may praise the Ikhwan now, but the antipathy expressed by the likes of the Saudi king to Iran is indicative of the immense animus the Sunnis have for Shias, current Arab street support for Teheran nothwithstanding.

As Obama is finding out, it’s really, really hard to thread that needle of gently backstabbing our long term ally while holding out a tentative, quivering hand to the democratistas.

We tried to make everyone happy and not hurt anyone’s feelings and ended up really making all sides mad at us.

Must be that strategery we keep hearing about.

Pro-Mubarak rioters chase reporters in Cairo hotels
Supporters of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak are storming hotels in Cairo and chasing journalists, Reuters reported on Thursday.

Earlier Thursday, the Egyptian military began rounding up journalists, possibly for their own protection, after they came under attack from supporters of President Hosni Mubarak who have been attacking anti-government protesters....

.....Two New York Times journalists were reportedly taken into protective custody

I agree, enough fun... back to business. Local reports from news-media, being filtered out, of news persons and crews being beaten with sticks in Egypt. No further updates have been heard on local. This update is old. Are back-outs in effect?

Al Jazerra English is not naming their journalists for their safety.

It seems like this has a definite rhythm. The violence gets stronger more into their night or evening. I think it will ramp up in the next few hours like it has in the last few days.

We will see more deaths reported also. It is almost like the more obscure their identity becomes, the bolder they become. Which is the reason for my “Night time” theory.

[no-to-illegals]

“Night time” theory.

cannot disagree ... pattern unmistakable.

FWIW, I think it’d be good to know if these are actually military/supporters carrying this stuff out, military/supporters w/o gov’t sanction, or MB-types out to cause chaos.

Cairo square chaos intensifies, violence spreads
.........."The government increasingly spread an image that foreigners were fueling the turmoil and supporting the tens of thousands in the street who for more than 10 days have demanded the immediate ouster of Mubarak,...

......."When there are demonstrations of this size, there will be foreigners who come and take advantage and they have an agenda to raise the energy of the protesters," Vice President Omar Suleiman said in an interview on state TV."........

.............."The prime minister apologized for Wednesday's assault and acknowledged it may have been organized. "..............

".........The Mubarak backers seethed with anger at a protest movement that state TV and media have depicted as causing the chaos and paralyzing businesses and livelihoods. "You in Tahrir are the reason we can't live a normal life," one screamed as he threw stones in a side street. "...............

"......... The men who led the defense Wednesday and throughout the night were easily identified. Many of them had cotton padding and grubby bandages dangling from their faces, arms and legs. Many had chunks of rock stuck to their hair and clumps of dust in their beards. A large number had the trimmed beards of Muslim conservatives, a sign of how the Muslim Brotherhood a major role in the fight."........

........"Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq acknowledged that the attack "seemed to have been organized" and said elements had infiltrated what began as a demonstration against the protesters to turn it violent. But he said he did not know who, promising an investigation into who was behind it.

"I offer my apology for everything that happened yesterday because it's neither logical nor rational," Shafiq told state TV. "Everything that happened yesterday will be investigated so everyone knows who was behind it." ".........
