The problem is, they won't sit still for the thinning. Instead they will turn to thinning projects of their own - specifically, Christians and Jews.

“At the same time, reports are coming in from other areas in Egypt that brotherhood supporters have started attacking Christians and burning churches.”

And this differs from yesterday how?

Is that thread as full of snark as it was last time I looked at it?

Avoiding that thread due to slight personal differences means not getting good up to date info that cannot be found elsewhere.

Your choice....

ETA - Reuters is propaganda. Facts are found on the Live thread due to translations direct from Egypt found there and at 2 people dedicated to following this unfolding situation for weeks, from many sources.

I would forget any small slight differences, if I were you.

Apparently VP Mohamed ElBaradei has resigned in protest of the crackdown. Elarardei was head of the IAEA for 3 terms (in clear violation of the UN’s own rules limiting the position to 2 terms) and spent that time defending Iraq and Iran at every turn.
