More clashes feared Friday in Egypt

As Egypt faces the gruesome aftermath of clashes that left hundreds dead, demonstrators plan to defy an emergency order and take to the streets to mark "Friday of anger."

The Muslim Brotherhood promised huge protests and Egypt's military government showed no sign of easing its crackdown, setting the stage for what could become another catastrophic encounter of security forces and protesters.

The Egyptian army blocked all entrances and exits of Cairo's Tahrir Square with armored vehicles and barbed wire in anticipation of new protests, state-run EGYNews reported.

    Muslim Brotherhood people have been going around burning more than 30 Coptic Christian churches and other Christian organizations. We need to thank the Egyptian military and police, who prevented these terrorists from harming more innocent people. It is good to know that there are at least some secular people like the Egyptian army in the Islamic fanaticism filled Middle East.

    Situation in Egypt is degrading. Egyptian police arrested a Pakistani man in passion of grenades and firearms among Muslim Brotherhood rioters. Presence of Pakistani among MB rioters is a definitive proof that Muslim Brotherhood is in bed with Al Qaeda in Egypt.

    Egypt will be stabilized when the Islamic Brotherhood is crushed. The scourge of salafism must be eliminated wherever it emerges – Niger, Mali, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan... The pacifists are absurd. Disregard their comments. Solve the problem.

    So sad! I agree with Jorge a little. No matter what we all need to live together. The hard line stance needs to change.I'm Egyptian and My country is so beautiful, it is filled with such history.
