Muslim Brotherhood Burns Government Building

Luke 21:9-10: [Jesus said] "When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

Hundreds of people connected to the Muslim Brotherhood forced their way into a government building in Cairo and burned it.

The mob was repelled by police after burning the offices of the local government in Giza, Cairo’s twin city on the west bank of the Nile.

The Brotherhood had been staging a protest sit-in over their removal from power but those protest camps were cleared out yesterday by the government. The Brotherhood then began firing at police and civilians.

The government now estimates 525 dead from Wednesday’s events. Government and hospital officials report over 3,700 people were injured. However, Khaled Ezzelarab of the BBC says there are at least 140 bodies wrapped in shrouds at Eman mosque which have not been included in the official death toll.

Also, the count of the wounded only includes those taken to hospitals. Multiple sources report many other injuries to those who did not seek hospital care.

Former presdient Mohammed Morsi’s detention was extended another 30 days on Thursday. Morsi is charged with murder in connection with a 2011 jailbreak that freed many Islamic terrorists.

The Muslim Brotherhood is calling for protest marches throughout the country through the day Thursday.
