Muslim Brotherhood: Egypt "coup" may require martyrdom

[Faith No More]

[Rahul]

Really? I like Martyrs. There are a whole lot of famous theists that I wish had martyred themselves ages ago.

Unfortunately, we are all stuck with Kirk Cameron for now.

It's not just the martyrdom issue, though. I'm talking about the whole attitude, like Christians defending god slaughtering children because they get to go to heaven. Regardless of whether an afterlife exists or not, that shouldn't devalue the existence we know we have here.

Mohamed al-Beltagi, member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, addressed President Mohamed Morsy’s supporters on Tuesday, calling on them to sacrifice themselves in defense of President Morsy’s legitimacy in the face of millions of demonstrators who demand an end to his rule.

How come that fucker doesn't go first? These holy horseshitters are big on telling other people to become martyrs.

[The Grand Nudger]

Silver linings yall. Just how many people might be willing to become martrys all at once..I imagine? Enough that leave the remainder no political capital perhaps? Meh, a guy can dream.

[Something completely different]

It was a catastrophic year for egypt.

The economy practicaly collapsed, the countries goverment is unpopular due to several of it`s actions and there is a complete lack of social stability.

The leadership of the muslim brotherhood is aware of that, as such I interpret these recent action as a despereate attempt to kling to power by appealing to religious authority over actualy bringing results.

[Minimalist]

All totally predictable, TGAC. Mubarak was not the problem. The problem is that Egypt cannot sustain itself economically in the long term.
