“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

Egypt: Sharia enforcers attack Egyptian cafes
.........................
And Shari'ah hasn't even been fully voted in in Egypt until next weekend—but hey, why wait?

"There's really no such thing as just Sharia, it's not one monolithic Continuum - Sharia is understood in thousands of different ways over the 1,500 years in which multiple and competing schools of law have tried to construct some kind of civic penal and family law code that would abide by Islamic values and principles, it's understood in many different ways..." -- Reza Aslan
.........................
Blah, blah, blah...everywhere Shari'ah hads been imposed, it is brutal and oppressive. Some Muslims may have been somewhat lax in imposing aspects of Shari'ah over the centuries, but that doesn't ,mean the vile core of this system of "laws" has changed. And whenever Muslims become more devout—as in the wake of the "Arab Spring"—Shari'ah violence is sure to follow. And so it has...

CAIRO, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Members of the Hazemoun and Ahrar movements attacked people at cafes in Cairo, chanting "Sharia is lifestyle," witnesses said.

So is frequenting cafes. But notice that the "Shari'ah lifestyle" has no tolerance for the "cafe lifestyle"...
Of course, the above is tongue-in-cheek. Pious Muslims do not use the term "lifestyle" in the largely benign way we do. They mean that being a devout Muslim is a very narrow thing, and that those who do not comply—like these cafe-goers—will be violently suppressed.

Several people were injured during Saturday's attack, including political activists known for frequenting the cafes, witnesses told al-Shorouk newspaper. They said the attackers fired birdshot and launched fireworks.

These unspecified political activists were likely Anti-Shari'ah—liberals and secularists. This is just a foretaste of how these "un-Islamic" people will be dealt with—along with un-veiled women and Christians.

Hazemoun is comprised of former presidential candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail's supporters, and Ahrar is a self-styled vigilante youth group that promotes public virtue...

"Public virtue", of course, encompasses roughing up non-violent people at cafes...
