Ongoing riots/war between Secularists and Salafists in Cairo and Egypt.

H/T Magic Martin.

***After reading this post, all who are interested please check the comments. Martin, who is way on top of this thing grabbing videos sometimes with just a few views on it, will place them there as well as what explanation is available for what is going on.***

This is today, basically now in Egypt

Tahrir Sq:

The video below is less interesting than the translation of the caption which reads,

“Atmosphere of pre-engagement in the vicinity of “federal” ”

I would suspect this might mean that there is a general feeling of impending conflict in front of ‘Federal’ which I assume means a main legislative building. Forgive the inherent seeming contradiction here but may god be with the secularists on this one.

In this newest video Magic Martin sent, which only has 10 views at this time so it is likely very recent, full scale rioting has indeed broken out as predicted in the earlier video

Salafists and Ikhwan march towards presidential palace. Likely for confrontation

    President Morsi supporters attack opponents in Cairo

    CAIRO – Tens of thousands of supporters of Egyptian leader Mohammed Morsi took over the outside of the presidential palace Wednesday, tearing down tents that had been put up by regime opponents during huge protests the past two days.

    “All these people come to support Morsi against those who want to beat down the basic rules in Egypt,” said Mohammad Anwar, an orthopedic surgeon, outside the presidential palace in Heliopolis, Cairo.

    “These people you are seeing here are about one or two percent of those who support Morsi,” he said. “Other people against Morsi want only their future, their rules, their aims — just this — but not the aims of all of Egypt.”

    Some anti-Morsi protesters confronted his supporters and the two sides threw rocks at each other until police stepped in to separate them.

  2. Brotherhood office torched in Egypt’s Ismailia

    Opponents of Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi set fire to the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s political party in the city of Ismailia on Wednesday, a witness said.

    It was not immediately clear if anyone had been injured in the attack on the Freedom and Justice Party office in the Ismailia, east of Cairo.

  3. Muslim Brotherhood urges Egyptians to end protests

    Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has called on President Mohamed Morsi’s supporters and opponents to leave the area near the presidential palace and pledge not to return.

    Mahmud Ghozlan, a spokesman for the ruling party, said on Wednesday that the protesters “should withdraw at the same time and pledge not to return there given the symbolism of the palace.”

    The appeal came as the fighting is going on between allies and foes of Morsi near the presidential palace, where opponents of Morsi had set up tents before his supporters drove them away.

    The protesters lobbed fire bombs and rocks at each other on Wednesday that left at least 211 injured.

    There have been reports of 2 people killed during protests outside presidential palace

  4. This is what it says to do in the Quran. They set up an environment of constant social unrest, keep it up for as long as necessary, then when the people finally start to break down from the stress, the peace and justice of Islam comes running to the rescue. Allahu Akbar. This is going exactly as the Muslim Brotherhood wants. And one-by-one the most aggressive and outspoken of the protesters will stop showing up at Tahrir Square, because they will no longer be alive…

  5. If you go down to Tahrir today,
    You better go in disguise.
    If you go down to Tahrir today,
    You’re in for a big surprise,
    For every ‘Slum that ever there was
    will be there and that’s because
    Todays the day the Muslim scum
    have their picnic!

  6. I liked the diversity and brotherhood shown by having the Shia fella celebrating Ashura in a carnival like atmosphere.
