Rev 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
<blockquote>“Hardly a day goes by when our senses are not bludgeoned by some new outbreak of terrorism in the Middle East. Despite our best efforts at making and keeping the peace, political, economic, and religious tensions often lead to unrest, violence, and riots.”

Twenty protesters were killed in Cairo during a protest against the ruling generals. Attackers used rocks, firebombs and shotguns in the assault.
Soldiers and police waited six hours after the attacks began before stepping into stop the violence.
Most protesters were supporting a Salafist preacher prohibited from running for President because his mother held dual Egyptian-US citizenship which violates Egypt’s new constitutional declaration.
The BBC reported the government using local thugs to attack protesters is a “well-worn” tactic and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei alluded to the government being “in cahoots with thugs.”
The first round of elections is scheduled for May 23 and 24.
