Confrontation between Muslims and secularists in Egypt today.
The thing i so love about Islam, is the nearly magical diversity of chants and liturgical music it inspires. In 1400 years they have managed to create so many inspirational chants and powerful and provocative hymns and invocations how can anyone not covert to Islam? Pretty much the sum total of these can be heard here in the first 10 seconds.

CAIRO — Egypt’s top military officer warned Tuesday of the potential “collapse of the state” if political forces in the country did not reconcile, reflecting growing impatience with the country’s growing unrest.
In a speech to military cadets that was distributed as a statement, Gen. Abdul-Fattah al-Sisi, the defense minister, publicly warned Egypt’s new Islamist leaders and their opponents that “their disagreement on running the affairs of the country may lead to the collapse of the state and threatens the future of the coming generations.” As such, General Sisi suggested, the polarization of the civilian politics was becoming a concern of the military because “to affect the stability of the state institutions is a dangerous matter that harms Egyptian national security.”
Violence grips Egypt as protesters defy Morsi’s decree
The Australian
VIOLENCE has gripped Egypt for a fifth straight day as Egypt’s main opposition bloc turned down an invitation to hold talks with President Mohamed Morsi and called instead for fresh mass protests.
A man was killed as police and protesters clashed in Cairo and lobbed rocks at each other on a bridge in an underpass leading to the capital’s iconic Tahrir Square as tear gas hung heavily in the air.
The clashes continued sporadically throughout the day, witnesses said, accusing gunmen of opening fire on the demonstrators from rooftops.
“There are many people wounded by gunfire,” Ahmad Doma, an activist at the scene, told AFP in the evening. He blamed the shootings on Muslim Brotherhood-linked militiamen.
A security source said two offices and nine soldiers were also injured in clashes around Tahrir Square, and that protesters torched two personnel carriers.
