CAIRO — Weeping relatives in search of loved ones uncovered the faces of the bloodied, unclaimed dead in a Cairo mosque near the smoldering epicenter of support for ousted President Mohammed Morsi, as the death toll soared past 600 Thursday from Egypt´s deadliest day since the Arab Spring began. World condemnation widened for the bloody crackdown on Morsi´s mostly Islamist supporters, including an angry response from President Barack Obama, who canceled joint U.S.-Egyptian military maneuvers.

The Muslim Brotherhood wants nothing but peace. Who is shooting down the police? Must be some tea party people on the loose! /sarc

It gives me hope that the entire middle east doesn’t love the MB extremists, and is willing to fight them. Islamic extremism has to be stopped NOW, and the non- brainwashed Egyptians are the only ones showing any balls in this fight.

All of this could have been avoided if only it weren’t for the darn internet video.

638 dead as a result of Hillary Benghazi’s “unbelievably accomplished” screwups as SOS. Give her the Nobel Peace prize.

The Muslim world embraces an ideology (disguised as religion) which does not respect or guarantee liberty, property rights, and the rule of law, and they wonder why they live in a cesspool of grinding poverty and endless violence.

All of the violence in Egypt has been caused by that rodeo clown with the Obama mask.

So of the 638 dead how many do you think were shot by the army and how many were shot by the Muslim Brotherhood to make it look like the army was doing all the shooting?

I presume 99.98%.

The Media, UN and US Guv care .00000001%. They collectively care as much for the Coptic Christians as they have for Serbia's Christians AND Nigerian & Sudanese Christians.

Until they embrace individual liberty, property rights, and the rule of law, they are doomed to live in a cesspool of squalor and violence. We reap what we sow.

They likely won’t even think of embracing such external good things until they are spiritually right. Islam isn’t “just another religion of decent people.” It is spiritual rotgut. There’s a real God and Creator, Allah ain’t Him, and God won’t be mocked.
