Egypt: Demonstrators set fire to Muslim Brotherhood's political party offices

The opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt are not going quietly. "Office of Egypt's Brotherhood torched in Ismailia," from Reuters, January 25 (thanks to all who sent this in):

ISMAILIA, Egypt, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Offices used by the Muslim Brotherhood's political party were set ablaze in the Egyptian city of Ismailia on Friday, witnesses said, as opponents of President Mohamed Mursi and his Islamist allies clashed with police in at least three other cities.

Witnesses said a group of youths had first broken into and ransacked the offices used by the Freedom and Justice Party, the Brotherhood's political arm.

Erdogan in Turkey is going about this in a much more deliberate, slow, careful and intelligent manner. The ultimate goal is the same, but is Mursi too impatient, too intemperate, too obvious, too foolish?

Say there Morsi...'Not everyone luvs ya baby'...
Maybe you should pay a visit to the US and hide out with Rasool O, until the heat at home calms down...

I hope this indicates some deep and genuine resistance to Shari'ah in Egypt.

Of course, the Muslim Brotherhood isn't going to stick at responding with savagery to any resistance to their brutal rule.

What I don't really understand is why the opponents? If they're almost all Muslim, wouldn't they embrace the Sharia law? Or they feel it's still not genuine and true enough? Or they're really moderates that oppose the political/legal aspects of Islam? If anybody can shed some light, would be very grateful!

There is also this:

AND ALSO

There are peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam. Sharia is part of the apparatus of a violent ideology to shackle the whole population. And there are many who do not want to be shackled by Sharia.

To prevent any confusion in the future, it would be useful to remember that the fight is not against Muslims, it's against Islam, the most violent so-called religion ever to be unleashed on planet Earth.

Cheers!

Thanks Buraq! I was confused because I understand Muslim to be adherents of Islam and Egypt's population is overwhelmingly Muslim. Guess everyone practices to various degrees, or some don't know or consciously reject the violent ideologies?

Muslims has many meanings of Shariah and how it could be applied.
Many Muslims sympathised with Muslim Brotherhood or Salafi because they held Shariah to be applied but many people think shariah must be apply in a new moderate form which neither Muslim Brotherhood nor Salafi would agree with
In Islam that quickly become a matter of fighting and killing between each other "You do not know the Shariah then you have to die"

In fact we do not know why some muslims want not to implement many aspects of Shariah in their lives maybe they unconsciously reject the violent ideologies, or maybe they are afraid that Shariah will turn and bite them one day. anyway they say they see Shariah from a different angle than hardcore muslims

anyway, no one is fully sure what Shariah is.

Actually, with respect, this is not quite the case, Coptic Gamal.

While there are individual Muslims—like some of these protesters, no doubt—who on grounds of human decency will resist Shari'ah, the fact is that wherever Shari'ah rears its ugly head it is oppressive, arbitrary, and very bloody.

That is why no moderate Muslim can oppose Shari'ah *on Islamic grounds*—because, unfortunately, Shari'ah by its very nature is absolutely barbaric.

I wish you and your fellow Copts all the best, Gamal—with the brutal Muslim Brotherhood in power, I'm afraid you will need it.
