| Egypt's bruised Brotherhood fails to show |
| 2013-08-23 |
| (Reuters) - Mass protests called by Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood mostly failed to materialize on Friday as the movement reeled from a bloody army crackdown on followers of ousted President Mohamed Mursi. Troops and police had taken relatively low-key security measures before the "Friday of Martyrs" processions that were to have begun from 28 mosques in the capital after weekly prayers. But midday prayers were canceled at some mosques and there were few signs of major demonstrations unfolding in Cairo. "We are not afraid; it's victory or death," said Mohamed Abdel Azim, a retired oil engineer who was among about 100 people marching slowly from a mosque near Cairo University. "They intend to strike at Muslims," the grey-bearded Azim said. "We'd rather die in dignity than live in oppression. We'll keep coming out until there's no one left." Kinda like the attack on the death star in Star Wars: "Almost there!... Al-l-lmost there!... A-l-l-l-l-lmost there!...[KABOOM!]" |
