Egypt: 55 injured as police fire tear gas at opponents of Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia constitution

"The people want the implementation of Shariah. Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam."

"Dozens injured in Egypt clashes as police fire tear gas at Morsi supporters and opponents," from NBC News, December 21 (thanks to Kenneth):

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Supporters of President Mohammed Morsi and his opponents hurled rocks at each other in Egypt's second city on the eve of a final vote on a new constitution shaped by Islamists.

Police fired tear gas as scores of opponents of the constitution and thousands of Islamists hurled rocks across a security cordon separating them near a mosque in Alexandria that was the focus for violence last week.

"God is great," Islamists chanted when the clash began.

The Egyptian Ministry of Health said at least 55 people were injured in the clashes near the al-Qaid Ibrahim mosque in Alexandria, state media reported.

The Islamists had gathered in support of an Islamic vision of Egypt's future a day before a second round of voting in a referendum on the basic law. Opposition supporters had also turned out as worshipers assembled for Friday prayers....

Lines of riot police cordoned off Alexandria's al-Qaid Ibrahim mosque, scene of last week's violence. Islamists chanted pro-Islamic slogans while a smaller group of opponents gathered nearby, chanting against Morsi, propelled to power in a June election by the Muslim Brotherhood.

"The people want the implementation of Shariah," the Islamist sympathizers shouted, in a show of support for Islamic law. "Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam," they shouted.

In one incident, an Islamist filming anti-Morsi protesters was grabbed and roughed up. Islamists on the other side of a security cordon pushed and shoved police trying to reach him.

The opposition, facing defeat in the referendum, has called for a no vote against a document it says is too Islamist and ignores the rights of women and minorities, including the 10 percent of Egyptians who are Christian.

They didn't shout,"God is great".
They shouted, "Allahu Ackbar" which is quite different.

Yes, Allahu Akbar. Their Allah is greater than any other God. Their Allah, a figment of the imagination of a non-existent Mohammad is the greatest God?

"The people want the implementation of Shariah. Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam."

Can Rehab, Reza or Moana explain this?

That would make a good slogan for one of Pam's ads...

Allah is closely associated with the Angel of Death, Osssriss, misspelling intentional...Everything having to do with death is his domain...It is the influence of this powerful spook working through Allah that makes Mahoundians like death so much they want to share it with kuffar...'You love Pepsi, we love death', is a prayer to Ossriss...'Be careful what you pray for, you just might get it'...

I don't trust the opponents of Morsi, if they are muslims too. I think the opponents are protesting simply because they don't have the power. If the Muslim Brotherhood were supporting them to get the power, they would embrace the Muslim Brotherhood gladly. It is not about anti Sharia, it is only about anti Morsi.

It is not about anti Sharia, it is only about anti Morsi.

That can very well be the case...Not all sharia lovers are MB or Morsi lovers...What's going on is Allahu Akbar fighting Allahu Akbar...may the best Allahu Akbar win...

Allahu fuckbar! No sharia constitution, no inequality for Muslims and non-Muslims and no inequality for men and women. Get rid of that perverted faith all over the world!

The vice president has just resigned.
With the proposed constitution eliminating his post, he certainly has lost power.

it's pathetic how little value msulims put on other muslims that they deem as apostates or bad muslims.
They seem to be killing-off each other at a rate greater than if we started a war with islam. I would be surprised if the nazi's killed more native Germans than the allies did in all the bombing raids.
These types of humans are sick and twisted savages that can't be allowed to rule the Earth one day as the Quran promises msulims as the blessed one destine to own the earth for allah under shariah law.

Well, they certainly have sacrificed their souls to Islam—no doubt about that...
