The enmity that the Egyptian military appears to have in their struggle to eliminate the Muslim Bother hood seems to know no bounds.
But officials of the main Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, described the deaths as assassinations, and claimed that the victims, which it said numbered 52, had been shot and tear-gassed through the windows of a locked prison van.
Gassing people to death in a locked enclosure was said to be conspiratorial propaganda and incontrovertible hoax.

Not to worry. The problems in Egypt didn't interrupt BO's Martha's Vineyard vacation & we can rejoice because healthcare is our right.
Barf!!

The government has been pursuing a relentless campaign to paint the Islamists as pursuing violence, and has increasingly lashed out at journalists who do not echo that line, especially the foreign media. Poor, poor journalists. Just trying to do their job--not.

The following article is a bit long but if you are interested in the current state of Egypt, especially for Christians, you will find this interesting and enlightening. It is written by Peter Justin, son of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby who was studying Arabic there for the past 20 months. Scroll down to the third article entitled as follows:
The representation of Egypt in the Western media is completely wrong http://www.archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/

The Islamists took measures on Sunday to avoid confrontations, including canceling several protests of the militarys ouster of a democratically elected Islamist-led government. IOW, the MB are finding fewer and fewer people willing to die for nothing.

The escape attempt was confirmed by a different news service, so it’s all ok. It was an attack on a prisoner transfer. The government killed the attackers, and a lot of prisoners got killed, too.
Even if it wasn’t, it’s still all ok.
I was a little disappointed that the Ikwan canceled their protest today. I guess they’ve decided that bombing markets and police stations, as in Iraq, is the way to go.
