I can’t stand the hypocrisy and the crocodile tears everyone is shedding over Pierre Gemayel.
Some forgot that the Gemayyels-founded Phalange was, has been, and is a fascist party whose share of massacres outnumbered all other parties during the civil war.
UPDATE: And here are the Phalange today.
Thousands and thousands of students have been mobilized by the Muslim Brothers in the universities over the past week against Minister Farouk Hosni’s remarks about the veil.
I would have loved to see those thousands brought out by the MB in demos in solidarity with Dr. Essam el-Erian and Dr. Muhammad Mursi, and the rest of the MB detainees. Or has the Brotherhood forgotten about them? I would have loved to see those thousands mobilized over labor and student unions violations, or over police brutality.
Ya Ikhwan Ya Muslimeen grow up, and stop wasting your energies on those stupid moral crusades.
UPDATE: Thousands of Islamist students demonstrated today at Al-Azhar University campus in el-Darrassa, against Farouk Hosni.
Thousands of pharmacists from Cairo and the provinces gathered yesterday at the Pharmacists’ Syndicate’s general assembly, to discuss measures to confront police hassles against them.
The pharmacists have been complaining from inhumane treatment on the hands of both the ordinary police force and State Security police across the country. Security raids against pharmacies have become regular, under the claim of search for drugs or illegal substances. Security agents frequently smash the contents of the pharmacies, and drag the pharmacists in the street in front of everybody in their neighborhoods, handcuffed, and beaten up, the pharmacists said yesterday.
The pharmacists decided yesterday to boycott buying any medicine or products from pharmaceutical companies for a week, and file a complaint to President Mubarak asking him to hold the police accountable for its actions.
The pharmacists are also discussing a general strike and a march over the parliament if the raids and detentions do not stop.
