oh and those two links at the top of the post of yours that I responded too? those attacks- horrible as they are- were in reprisal to the wholesale slaughter today. that doesn't excuse them, but it does put them in context. violence follows violence. duh.

I have a great deal of sympathy for ALL of those who are suffering from the violence- unlike YOU who cheers on murder.

And much as I deplore the MB, Morsi was elected in what is widely seen as a democratic and fair election. duh.
