Members of an ultraconservative Muslim sect clashed with villagers south of Cairo over demands that a liquor store and coffee shops be closed, officials said Tuesday, a sign of the increasing assertiveness of the fundamentalist Salafi movement.
One villager was killed and eight others were injured in the armed clashes, which erupted late Monday in the village of Kasr el-Bassil in Fayoum province, a security official said…
Unless there is a quite violent reaction to this by the Egyptian government, this will work. You see, when confronted with people who are willing to use insane violence to get their way, most people just put their heads down and endure it…only a stronger counter-violence will stop it. Literally, it will take killing to make this effort come to naught…only death or the very real threat of it will convince the purveyors of such violence to change their ways.
I fear that a dark night is about to descend on Egypt…
