It’s worth identifying at this point several (but by no means all; what follows is surely a small sample) of those who in 2011 reassured the world that Egyptians had nothing to fear if the Brotherhood and Islamists became dominant…

Two brothers, Mohammed Shahid and Mohammed Rafiq have already been convicted of killing Mr Assani. A third brother, Mohammed Tariq, is now standing trial, accused of being one of a nine-strong gang that attacked Mr Assani.

“Maybe that artist can get real edgy and do a painting of Obama as Mohammed?“

With King Morsi-Tut to vote for!

Almost two years after Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak was removed from power, Cairo’s Tahrir Square is still an epicenter of protest and violence. It’s an epicenter of protest and violence because Egypt is again ruled by a man who has declared himself dictator. The country’s new president, Mohammad Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, announced that “constitutional declarations, decisions and laws issued by the president are final and not subject to appeal.”
He’s already being called the new Pharaoh. It makes no difference that he was elected. Democracy isn’t just about getting elected. A democratic election is not a one-time plebiscite on who the next tyrant is going to be. Democracy requires individual and minority rights and the separation of powers. Winners cannot oppress losers, nor do losers get to wage war on the winners.

On the other hand, the pharaohs were able to get Egyptians to show up for work, which is more than any modern government has managed to do.

With an Islamist dictator to vote for;

With a constitutional assembly on the brink of collapse and protesters battling the police in the streets here over the slow pace of change, President Mohamed Morsi issued a sweeping decree on Thursday night, granting himself broad new powers above any court and ordering the retrial of his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
Mr. Morsi, an Islamist who won Egypt’s first free presidential vote, portrayed himself as acting to satisfy popular demands. But the unexpected breadth of his new powers immediately raised fears that he might become a new strongman.

Related! “It is astonishing that American officials and the world media have hailed Morsi simply because he first sicced his dog on his neighbor, and then called the dog off.”
Meanwhile – Muslim Brotherhood offices torched.

“The Tel Aviv bombing was also praised from Gaza mosque’s loudspeakers…”

Many on the Left constantly equivocate violence from Muslim extremists with that done by Christians. No one is more outspoken on this front than Tavis Smiley.
A website cynically named “Religion of Peace” has been carefully documenting the ever growing list of Islamic Terror Attacks on Christians. It isn’t small.

On March 21, Shaima Alawadi, a 32-year-old Iraqi Muslim and mother of five, was found brutally beaten at her home in El Cajon, a community just east of San Diego that is home to more than 50,000 Iraqi immigrants. A note left next to her read, “go back to your country you terrorist …”

The on-going controversy over the Christmas tree and the housing association in Kokkedal, a town north of Copenhagen, took another turn this weekend, when two journalists from TV2 News escaped unharmed after their van was attacked by 25 masked individuals.

There were strange happenings in downtown Toronto on Sunday:

Joe Warmington explains in greater detail what exactly happened.
The trouble appears to be centered around a Far-Left “peace activist” named Suraia Sahar. Here is her Twitter account. She belongs to an organization called Afghans For Peace. While many Canadians undoubtedly agree with her that Canadian soldiers should come home as soon as possible, one wonders if her tactics of disturbing the ceremonies of WW2 veterans does anything other than draw attention to herself? Of course, if you dare disagree with her amped up sense of self-righteousness, then she immediately screams that her Free Speech rights are being interfered with. If an outsider were to walk into the middle of an Occupy camp or a Women’s Studies classroom or an NDP convention and continue shouting & screaming, would those there still support that person’s Free Speech rights?

Celebratory gunfire at Saudi wedding cuts cable, 23 electrocuted…

NRO – A suicide bomber driving an SUV full of explosives crashed into a Catholic church in a Christian minority enclave of Nigeria during Mass yesterday, killing ten congregants and wounding at least 145

With Terry Glavin;

For much of the past decade, the earnest and the animated have been adorning the walls of church basements and student union buildings across Canada with Israeli Apartheid banners and Hands Off Iran posters. Meanwhile, after the Khomeinist regime in Tehran crushed an insurrection in 2009, a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire in January 2011 and then Tahrir Square erupted in Cairo in the following weeks. Suddenly, Arab liberals, feminists, students, reformists and revolutionaries were at the vanguard of tumults from the Barbary Coast to Bahrain. They were on their own.
In Gaza, they were bullied and beaten by the same Hamas thugs who take only slightly less delight when they notice yet another ship on the horizon carrying Torontonians or Berliners or Parisians intent on making exhibitionist nuisances of themselves with the IDF. As of this week, the death tally in the Syrian abattoir run by Hamas benefactor Bashar Assad is roughly 30,000 (was there a teach-in that I missed?). Nobody even talks about Darfur anymore. Then again, hardly anyone wanted to talk about it while the genocide there was in full force.

The news channel said in a statement that Sonia Dridi was attacked around 10:30 p.m. Friday after a live broadcast on a protest at the square and was later rescued by a colleague and other witnesses.

Rumors of a UN decision to re-introduce Holocaust studies in schools run by UNRWA — the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees — have raised the ire of Jordanian teachers, who say they will refuse to teach history that “harms the Palestinian cause.”

Muslims going after Swiss Airline for CROSS

CBS Reporter Lara Logan recently delivered a very blunt speech about the dangers of Radical Islam. Long considered a “liberal”, one wonders if her words signal a forthcoming break from the Left’s long love affair with the “Religion of Peace” or is she about to be ostracized from the Leftist Group Think cocktail parties?
