It doesn’t seem to be burning itself out. In fact in this one, its like someone sprayed steroids over a cast of cartoon characters when they were staging a sword fight.

Street battles in Cairo leave dozens injured after Islamist protest
Clashes broke out between Islamist protesters and unknown opponents near Cairo’s High Court on Friday, leaving dozens injured.
Thousands of Islamist protesters were holding a rally before the High Court in downtown Cairo to demand the “purge of Egypt’s judiciary” when clashes erupted.
It is still unclear how the clashes started. The Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party’s website accused members of ‘Black Bloc,’ a term used to describe masked men wearing black, of inciting the clashes.
The website also said they used live ammunition, teargas and birdshot against Islamist protesters. Some Islamist demonstrators on the field confirmed the story to Ahram Online.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Sultan, the head of the Egyptian Ambulance Organisation (affiliated to the health ministry), said four have been injured by birdshot.
Sultan later said that the injury toll reached 95 while no deaths have been reported so far.
One of the Muslim Brotherhood’s buses parked in the nearby Abdel-Moneim Riyadh was torched.
I’m starting a business manufacturing Israeli/US flags. Anyone want in? We’ll clean up in muslim countries. We’ll manufacture in China, naturally, where they’ll cost fractions of a penny each to make.
Egypt coming apart! Muslim democracy, well any kind of muslim order really, looks very much like good old anarcho-tyranny. This is only going to get worse…
Your Holiness you are right, this is a civil war that will get more and more brutal until some strongman takes over and brutally stops the fighting, the question is will it be an Egyptian strongman or the new Caliph?
Hello Richard, I think Egypt will break down in famine and violence. Order then will be very hard to restore. Poor copts. Yet no doubt the new caliph is on his way, and the US and the EU will be the first to supply him with weapons and money. Oh, the humanity…
Pope Urban II
Are you the same Urban II on UP Pompeii? That Urban II has been up anfd running for atlweast 5 years.
Egypt like many of the Arab Spring countries we’ve liberated from dictarorships, will self-destruct. Its predictable and very likely part of our general strategy of destroying the Islamic world as a response to 9/11. The West always prefers its revenge served cold.
.
We already see that the Islamic world becoming a non-entity in the global power stakes. It will become even more pathetic then it already is. We might even let Turkey take over the caliphate we are helping to build, for that will allow us to deal with all Muslim countries under one policy directive.
If it wasn’t for the useful idiots in the west supplying money and weapons (sometimes by refusing to let us drill and pump the oil and gas in the US) the new Caliphate would take much longer to be created. What is going to help us in the west in the long run is the economic crisis the left has created, their policies have made it impossible for the west to continue spending at the current levels. This means we will have to cut off the money and weapons to the Moslems at some time in the relatively near future.
Hello DP111, no Im not that Urban. Dont know his/her work.
In my mind no doubt Turkey will try to lead the ummah and by that be the dominant power in the coming sunni pseudo-caliphate structure. But I dont think we/the West will be able to control such an entity. It will have a very destructive life of its own. Yet the western powers will think they can control it, but this will be the same mistake Frankenstein made when he created his own monster out of body parts. This future turkish lead islamic Frankenstein-monster will come at us like a flesh-eating zombie. That is what I predict!
I agree with that, the west won’t be able to control the monster and it will turn and try to retake the Balkans and then move into the rest of Europe. It will be a long, hard and bloody war to stop them and the useful idiots in the west will be working hard to prevent our stopping them.
