'Thugs' attack Islamists outside Egypt's Defense Ministry, killing 11 By NANCY A. YOUSSEF AND AMINA ISMAIL McClatchy Newspapers CAIRO -- In the deadliest outbreak of violence in weeks, at least 11 protesters were killed and at least 150 wounded early Wednesday outside the Defense Ministry in Cairo in clashes with civilian attackers, putting Egypt's presidential election and already-fragile democratic transition in further turmoil. Several Islamist presidential candidates announced Wednesday that they were suspending their campaigns - some for 48 hours and some indefinitely - in response to the violence and the military-run government's apparent unwillingness to stop it. Officials also canceled the first presidential debate, which had been scheduled for Thursday. Egypt's presidential election is May 23-24

To the Arab pro-Islamism writers (employed by McClatchy Newspapers): Nancy A. Youssef and Amina Ismail!

How dare you call anti-Islamists anti-Totalitarianists anti-Muslim-brotherhood as "thugs," what are the MB in your opinion? What are these Islanists thugs that call to eliminate Christians and Jews? "modearae good-guys," in your opinion? Do you or do you not know Slafists' hatred latest calls? Do you not know what Muslim Brothreood 'most important' "spiritial" leader Al-Qaradawi preaches the dehumainazation of non-Muslims as 'apes and pigs'?

My kind of “Thugs”

[Milagros]

Yup.

I'm thinking that many Egyptians realize that Egypt's economy depends on Western tourism, Western investment, and Western trade. They understand that if the Islamists get control, then most Egyptians will be living in poverty, and they aren't interested in that.

We will know the tide is turning when radical imams start appearing on lamp posts.

They want the stone age, let them have the stone age and keep their
stone age religion there. Let them all kill themselves in the name of their
false prophet perverted God. We need to give them more guns and ammo to help
them eliminate themselves from this planet once and for all.

Except for the 10% of people in Egypt (i.e. the REAL Egyptians) who are Coptic Orthodox Christians.

They want the stone age, let them have the stone age

Except it seems that some of them, maybe a lot of them, don't want it.

Which is good news.
