Yesterday was always going to be dangerous. The islamists who were ousted gather for Friday prayers. After the payers, it became a political rally.the same will probably happen next Friday.

Jeremy Bowen was hit by pellets fire by the army. He is OK. His cameraman came off a lot worse.

[Brenden]

It has also been alledged that women who are on the streets with the protester are being gang raped, their reasoning is that the women should be at home.

[baza]

Oh, so that's ok then, go to prayers, have a rally, rape a few women, back home in time for tea, all in the name of some bloke who rode a camel a few years ago.

[youngmafbog]

This is a religious war. It is about Islam taking over the country, which is what promoted the protesters in the first place.

Muslims see the grasp weakening so will use violence, intimidation and anything else they can in their aim to make the world Islamic.

Could well happen here (in the future) if European politicans don't get a grip

[Gromit]

Ramadan starts Monday, so every one is going to be mega tetchy foe a month.

[Brenden]

Aw shame.

[emmie]

does anyone know how Jeremy Bowen is, one of our better reporters.

It seems to happen wherever there are Muslims. Turkey is seeing a fresh round of unrest. Protesters are kicking off again, voicing their displeasure with PM Erdogan:

"Five people died and thousands were injured in last month's wave of protests across Turkey - the worst unrest the country had seen in 10 years of rule by Mr Erdogan.

Protesters have accused him of becoming increasingly authoritarian and trying to impose conservative Islamic values on a secular state."

I'm inclined to agree with youngmafbog. Unless action is taken in Europe to quell attempts to Islamise the continent it will soon start to kick off in earnest here. Regrettably it seems that not only are Muslims unable to tolerate those of other or no faith but they are singularly unable to live with each other either.

NJ,// it seems that not only are Muslims unable to tolerate those of other or no faith but they are singularly unable to live with each other either. //

That is precisely what I said yesterday. How on earth can they expect - or we expect them to - live in peace with the rest of the world when they can't live in peace with their own?

[emmie]

in a country that has also come in in the last few years, more hardline tactics will only see the younger element dissent, why wouldn't they, who on earth wants the imposition of laws that are antiquated, woefully inadequate to protect women. They have 75 Millions Muslims or so the figures show, but that doesn't mean there are 75 million who want what Saudi has nor does it want to be an Islamic state. It is now one of the top ten destinations for tourists, alongside Egypt, if there are large scale riots, then that will start changing pretty rapidly, killing off a lot of trade and revenue.. Sometimes as with Assad, it's the bitter pill you swallow for keeping out the fundamentalists, because once they have a hold, there will be no holding them back.

[emmie]

NJ, i am no doomsayer, but i said a long while ago that we in UK, Europe have been sleepwalking into this situation, the relatively small, though deadly killlings in the capital could be nothing compared to large scale uprisings from people who feel marginalised, with no ties to Britain, or say Germany, where many are still seen by Merkel as on the fringes of the society, not fully integrated and that should worry everyone. It only takes a few to stir things up, whether it's here in the UK or across Europe, this matter is not going to go away, nor will it while the stupid politicians keep their heads in a bucket of sand.

Egypt: Democratically elected Islamic president ousted by army.
Turkey: riots "supposedly" against Islamisation

And yet the culprits are: the Moslems :-)
Regardless of the facts the argument does not compute ...

Turkey and Egypt are similar.

Both have young modern westernised cosmopolitan urbanites in the cities.
The countryside is more older traditional and religious.

In both elections the Islamists won much to the chargrin of the people in the main city.
