CAIRO - An Egyptian court on Saturday confirmed death sentences against the leader of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and at least 182 of his supporters, judicial sources at the court told Reuters.
The court's decision came two months after it referred the case against Badie and hundreds of others to the state's highest religious authority, the Mufti, the first step towards imposing a death sentence.
They were charged over violence that erupted in the southern Egyptian town of Minya in July in the aftermath of the army's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, a senior Brotherhood member, after mass protests against his rule. One senior police officer was killed in the violence.

If Obama doesn’t have enough Gitmo’s to save 183 Muslim Brothers, maybe he can offer Egypt cold hard cash.
Our cold hard cash.

But once Gitmo is empty, at least we have a place to put all the illegal alien kids that are flooding our borders, so it’s a win-win. Do I really need to put a sarcasm tag on this?

There are some leaders in the world, albeit, dictators who know how to handle radical Muslims. The new Egyptian government (should I say Junta) knows who they are up against, hence they show no mercy to those that killed Sadat in 1981.
Unfortunately, Obama still, does not get it and it looks like the Egyptians and Iraqis are moving towards Putin's USSR, oops, I mean Russia.

Muslim Brotherhood Egypt has been trying to rid themselves of these vermin for decades...
Hopefully when these 182 are sent to their demon moon god, it will send a message to the rest...
Probably not since they are radical ideologues rather than politically driven...
But it's a start...

You haven’t been paying attention.
Say a beheading or a hanging and you will be more on the mark.

Or the wonders of homosexuality cult might work its way. Obama is going to stick to that homosexual New World Order... deflecting from facing off with terror.
Egypt of course would not commit its economy to suicide in exchange for a bit of money and fudge like our liberal retards do.

Many nations in the Middle East and Africa have been trying to limit the MB to no real avail. The MB (and similar organizations) fill the vacuum, politically, socially, economically, financially and medically, where governments fail. To a great extent, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad (in every land), HAMAS in Gaza and the West Bank, MB in Egypt, ISIS in Iraq all start by giving the simple folk aid in many forms, then they build heavily weaponized armies. After that, they go Islamic Bonker Berserk and try to overthrow regimes. While Israel smashes the HAMAS in the West Bank, (thus saving the PLO Abbas from certain Coup d’etat), the POTUS may ask for Iran's help in getting him out of a disaster of his own making.
It is pretty amazing to see the current POTUS back them all the way...

What's weird is that Obama should be detested by Islam because he left the faith and became a Christian, an offense punishable by death. In addition, his Gay-based agenda is also hated by Muslims so, he is an anathema on both counts yet he supports the Islamic Jihad agenda through his actions or inactions...

It’s even more amazing to see Congress backing it thought their own inaction.
We’re screwed.
