The health ministry says 149 people have been killed. But the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed the protests, says at least 2,000 have died.

Only an idiot would belive that the Muslim Brothers were all peacefully gathered. Those fools hoard weapons like rats hoard cheese. It's in their nature.

This appalling claim requires evidence.

Not that anyone should be surprised that a stalinist like you would be cheer-leading the murder of innocent demonstrators by a military machine.

[TheEmancipator]

Can't blame the military regime for protecting its interest over that of the MBs, and i take the MBs claims of peaceful demonstration very lightly.

What a waste of human life, consumed by reactionary demagoguery.

Since when have "peaceful" and "unarmed" protesters killed dozens of security forces? In the history of revolts, security forces rarely suffer serious casualties when equipped with armor and riot gear.

The casualty exchange here suggests that it was an actual battle.

Since when has it been our job to condemn people for defending themselves against the army and the pigs?

What a disgraceful position from someone who calls themselves a Marxist-humanist.

What a disgusting apologist for state oppression you are!

Muslim Brotherhood militants are today stepping up their attacks on Egyptian citizens in several cities in Egypt. Mohamed Y. Saad Zaghloul has informed this reporter tonight of further attacks by Muslim Brotherhood (MB) militants and that he believes they are using M-16 rifles and 223 ammunition that appear to have come from the United States. Zaghloul is is the President of the DFP Youth Organization for the Democratic Front Party, a party that is part of a coalition of 22 secular parties involved in the political process in Egypt.

Zaghloul reported many casualties from the fighting, and said citizens and Egyptian army personnel are “falling like flies.” He also said, “in my city 43 people (have) fallen to MB gun fire and 16 hostages were taken to show their resolve executed one of the hostages in a mosque and threw his body out of the mosque. The army is being halted by the Obama administration. The residents around their sit in in Cairo are terrified as more than 200 of them have fallen during clashes there.”

Additionally, a news site called cia-news.com reported the heavy gun fire against the Egyptian army by what it called the “Islamic Brotherhood.” That same story also reports that “Hamas (is) involve(d) more and more in the fighting.”

“The official US story puts the MB are victims of a military coup and are being attacked by a vicious military machine,” Zaghloul said, “even though they have received reports of heavy machine gun (fire), missiles, and heavy weaponry use, and reports confirming the presence of these anti-armor and anti personnel weapons” being used by MB forces.

Some of the weapons used by the MB forces appear to have come from the United States, including M-16 rifles and 223 ammunition. Zaghloul said, “what is shocking to me is finding some of MB operatives using US made M16 rifles firing 223 a caliber not native to the entire region. It seems some of the weapons given to the MB in Syria have found their way to the MB in Egypt. I have seen 223 casings in Alexandria and here it is always 7.62 for Egyptian AKs and I have seen them using AR 15 type weapons in their hands. They are being transported by the US to MBs in Syria with the 223 or 556 ammo (which is not) produced or sold in Syria nor Egypt.”

No love lost for the pro-Israeli army, but be realistic about who we're talking about.

Are you honestly using the propaganda from a right-wing shit rag like The Examiner for your evidence?

How about this from the AlJazeera which details how the state police are using masked provocateurs, snipers and helicopters?

So my source is right wing when you're quoting the state media of one of the most reactionary monarchist societies on the face of the planet?

Since 'we' don't defend reactionary theocrats that blame rape on women, lynch Copts and kill homosexuals. They attacked 14 churches today alone.
