Officials say Egyptian Sunni Muslims kill 4 Shiites, charging they were spreading their faith
By Associated Press, Published: June 23
CAIRO — Sunni Muslim villagers killed four Shiite men on Sunday, accusing them of trying to spread their version of Islam, according to Egyptian security officials.
The four were beaten to death in Giza province, near the capital, Cairo, in one of the most serious sectarian incidents in Egypt in recent months.
The Health Ministry confirmed the death toll, adding that scores of Shiites were seriously injured in the attack.
About 3,000 angry villagers, including ultraconservative Salafis, surrounded the house of Shiite leader Hassan Shehata, threatening to set it on fire if 34 Shiites inside did not leave the village before the end of the day, according to the officials. When they refused, villagers attacked them, dragged them along the ground, and partially burned the house, the officials said.
The Shiites were performing religious rituals outside the house when they were attacked, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
Sectarian violence has increased over the past two years, but usually the targets of Muslim extremists have been Christians, not Shiites, who have only a small presence in overwhelmingly Sunni Egypt. Christians make up about 10 percent of the population.
Sunday’s attack came several days after a number of Salafis insulted Shiites during a rally attended by Egypt’s Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who listened silently while remaining impassive.
A Salafi preacher, Mohammed Hassan, called on Morsi “not to open the doors of Egypt” to Shiites, saying that “they never entered a place without corrupting it.”
Salafis consider Shiite as heretics.

Egypt Morsi Protests: Army Ready To Save Nation From 'Dark Tunnel,' Defense Minister Says
By HAMZA HENDAWI 06/23/13 05:00 PM ET EDT AP
CAIRO — Wading into an increasingly volatile fray, Egypt's military on Sunday gave the nation's Islamist rulers and their opponents a week to reach an understanding before planned June 30 opposition protests aimed at forcing out the president, in a toughly worded warning that it will intervene to stop the nation from entering a "dark tunnel."
The powerful military also gave a thinly veiled warning to President Mohammed Morsi's hard-line backers that it will step in if the mostly secular and liberal protesters, who have vowed to be peaceful, are attacked during the planned demonstrations.
In a bid to project a business-as-usual image, Morsi's office said in a statement late Sunday that the president met with the army's chief, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, to discuss the "domestic scene and the government's efforts to maintain the security of the nation and the safety of its citizens." There was no mention of el-Sissi's warning.
Seeking to assert Morsi's seniority over el-Sissi – the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces – the brief statement, alluding to June 30, said he ordered the quick completion of plans to protect the state's strategic and vital installations.
The opposition argues that Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, despite having won a series of elections since the 2011 revolution that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak, have squandered their legitimacy with heavy handed misrule. It contends that the Islamists have encroached on the independence of the judiciary, sought to monopolize power, and pushed through an Islamist-backed constitution, breaking promises to seek consensus.
Morsi's supporters say the opposition has shunned his offers of dialogue and now are turning to force to remove him because they have been unable to compete at the ballot box.
On Sunday, a court compounded Morsi's troubles by saying members of his Muslim Brotherhood conspired with Hamas, Hezbollah and local militants to storm a prison in 2011 and free 34 Brotherhood leaders, including Morsi. Also, the most iconic youth figure of the 2011 revolution, Wael Ghonim, called on Morsi to step down before June 30 to prevent bloodshed.
Both sides say they intend to be peaceful on June 30, but many fear the day could descend into violence. There are worries young protesters could attack offices of the Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice party. Some of Morsi's hard-line supporters have vowed to "smash" the protests or have declared protesters infidels who deserve to be killed.
"Those who will spray Morsi with water will be sprayed with blood," warned one cleric.
El-Sissi, weighed in with his first public comments on the planned protests while addressing officers at a seminar Sunday.
It was his most direct warning yet that the military – which ruled Egypt directly after Mubarak's fall until Morsi's June 30, 2012 inauguration – could step in.
He said the country's divisions had reached a point that they were a danger to the state itself.
"Those who think that we (the military) are oblivious to the dangers that threaten the Egyptian state are mistaken. We will not remain silent while the country slips into a conflict that will be hard to control," he said in his comments, made public on the military's Facebook page.
Ostensibly, el-Sissi addressed both sides. But his demand for "genuine reconciliation" seemed to be a nod toward the opposition's stance that Morsi's past gestures of "dialogue" have been empty and a signal to him that he must make compromises.
"It is the most powerful public and direct message from the military to the president," said analyst Abdullah el-Sinnawi, thought to be close to the military. "I see this as a warning of a coup if Morsi does not find a solution."
Another analyst, Gamal Abdel-Gawad of the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic studies, said the comments signaled a change in the military's position.
"We are in a different phase now. He (el-Sissi) is giving a deadline for a solution to the president to do what he can do or else they will be forced to intervene," he said.
El-Sissi appeared to lower the threshold for what warrants intervention by the military. In earlier pronouncements, he cited the collapse or near collapse of the state.
On Sunday, however, he said the military has a "patriotic and moral responsibility" to stop Egypt from "slipping into a dark tunnel of conflict or internal fighting." He said sectarian violence and the collapse of state institutions would also justify intervention.
He urged all parties to reach a "genuine reconciliation" to defuse the crisis before June 30.
"We have a week during which a great deal can be achieved. This is a call that is only motivated by love of the nation, its presence and future," he said.
In a thinly veiled warning to Morsi's hard-line backers, el-Sissi said: "It is not honorable that we remain silent in the face of the terrorizing and scaring of our Egyptian compatriots. There is more honor in death than watching a single Egyptian harmed while the army is still around."
El-Sissi also warned that the military will no longer tolerate any "insults" to the armed forces and its leaders, apparently a reference to a series of comments by figures from the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, that were perceived by the military as derogatory.
After its post-Mubarak period of direct rule, the powerful military has largely stayed out of the political fray. Soon after his inauguration, Morsi pushed the military's top two generals into retirement, ending the de facto military rule of Egypt that dates back to a 1952 coup that toppled the monarchy.
Morsi appointed el-Sissi as military chief and defense minister, leading many to believe the general would be beholden to the president. But el-Sissi, through a series of subtle but telling hints, has shown a significant level of independence as well as displeasure over the policies of the Morsi administration.
Morsi's comrades in the Brotherhood have made it clear that they want the military to focus entirely on protecting the nation against outside threats, but el-Sissi has countered by making clear that maintaining the security and stability of the nation was part of the military's mandate.
Protest organizers say they will bring out crowds across the country, building on public anger over a host of problems in the country, from surging crime and rising prices to fuel shortages, power cuts and unemployment. The protests call for Morsi to step down and early elections to be held at the end of a short transitional period.
Sunday, another prominent figure from the anti-Mubarak uprising, Ghoneim, weighed in with a video posted on his Twitter account saying it was time for Morsi to go.
"I was hoping that I would thank (Morsi) for what he has done for Egypt a year after he took office. But regrettably, the conditions in Egypt now are very grave," Ghoneim said. "Please stop the strife we are approaching, for the sake of God and country, and resign before June 30."
The report issued by a court in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia added to Morsi troubles. The court statement read by judge Khaled Mahgoub named two members of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood as among the conspirators along with Hamas and Hezbollah members in an attack on Wadi el-Natroun prison on Jan. 29, 2011.
The judge said his court would refer the evidence and testimonies it gathered to prosecutors so they can start their own investigation.
Morsi and the 33 Brotherhood leaders who were in jail in 2011 have maintained that they were freed by local residents. Hamas, the Palestinian chapter of the Brotherhood, has denied involvement in the attacks on prisons.
The Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party said Sunday's court statement on the Wadi el-Natroun prison break was "void and illegal." It posted on its Twitter account that Mahgoub "will end like any other judge who did not respect the law or the constitution."
The prison breaks took place during the 18-day popular uprising that toppled Mubarak's regime. The breaks involved about 11 of Egypt's 41 prisons and led to a flood of some 23,000 criminals onto the streets, fueling a crime wave that continues to this day.

Egypt court: Egyptian president escaped from prison in massive 2011 jailbreak
The Ismailia Misdemeanors Appeals Court is hearing the case of a man accused of having escaped along with Mohammed Morsi from prison during the uprising that ended the rule of Hosni Mubarak.
By DPA | Jun.23, 2013 | 4:33 PM
The Muslim Brotherhood conspired with members of Hamas, Hezbollah and local militants in 2011 to break into a prison and free leaders of the organization, including President Mohammed Morsi, an Egyptian court said on Sunday.
The Ismailia Misdemeanors Appeals Court was hearing the case of a man accused of having escaped along with Morsi from Wadi Natroun prison during the uprising that ended the rule of President Hosni Mubarak.
The court, which cleared the defendant, said evidence showed that Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders had been freed thanks to an international plot involving the Palestinian militant group Hamas, the Lebanese movement Hezbollah and Egyptian militants.
Presiding judge Khalid Mahjoub asked prosecutors to "take the necessary steps" with those named in his judgment.
He also asked prosecutors to seek Interpol's assistance to have Hezbollah and Hamas leaders also freed in the mass jailbreak brought back to face Egyptian courts.
Huge numbers of prisoners, including political detainees, were freed from Egyptian jails during the 18 days of the country's 2011 revolution, in circumstances that remain unclear.
The ruling comes amid a tense political atmosphere. The opposition plans mass protests on June 30 to call for Morsi's resignation, a year after he took office.
The Tamarod, or Rebellion, activist campaign, which has called for a protest at the presidential palace, says it has collected 15 million signatures demanding the president resign. Morsi won the presidential election in June last year.

you would be astonished if you were to ride a taxi, or the under ground people literally say this. its not bec mubarak was great but bec we did not suffer this much. yes income wise people were barely able to survive however the country was very secure, you could stay in the street till 4 am and not a single thing can happen to you, now you get assulted at 8 pm in the middle of the street. we never had this massive amount of power cuts!! we have one every day and it lasts for an hour. 
morsy and the gang are literally shitting bricks bec of this campaign that has been started by the youth, who this time are calling the shots and every one in the opposition camp is following to the word. i see super morsy go bye bye soon. he has lost the support from every one including a big chunk of beardies who have seen the negative effect he and the mb have on the image of yr average beardie. the reasons for why this campaign has kicked off are clearly presented in simple terms. so far we r talking about 15million + citizens who signed this petition and on the 30th of june these numbers will be heading to the presidential palace for sit in's until they give in to the people's main demand which is early presidential elections and rightly soo, as morsy has proven over the course of 11 months that he lacks vision, is a lair who promised several things and broke all his promises, has dis-respected the judicial system, has tried and still is trying to drag us throw the mud for his mb's gains with no regard to national security, and lastly but not least he is no different than mubarak when it comes to a citizens dignity and right for a proper life.
