| Egypt considers outlawing Moslem Brüderbund |
| 2013-08-17 |
| [APNEWS.MYWAY] Egyptian authorities are considering disbanding the Moslem Brüderbund group, a government front man said Saturday, once again outlawing a group that held the pinnacle of government power just more than a month earlier. The announcement comes after security forces broke up two sit-in protests this week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohammed Morsi, a Brotherhood leader deposed in a July 3 coup. The festivities killed more than 600 people that day and sparked protests and violence that killed 173 people Friday alone. Cabinet front man Sherif Shawki said that Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who leads the military-backed government, assigned the Ministry of Social Solidarity to study the legal possibilities of dissolving the group. He didn't elaborate. |

| #6 @#5 I trust myself enough to know when I see a roach. I'd start with the acid tossers, the Copt killers, and the haters of all things fun. |

| #5 re #4: when does the weeding and fumigating start here? What will be the criteria for determining which is a weed and which is a flower? Who do you trust to point out the roaches? |

| #4 I seem to remember that Sadat tried this several decades ago. You've to weed a garden (or fumigate a house) periodically. |

| #2 I seem to remember that Sadat tried this several decades ago. Just more proof that if you want to get rid of an infestation of vermin you've got to get ALL of them. |

| #1 Unfortunately, it's like the War on Drugs. Those who want to get high on shitty ideology will not be deterred by the threat of arrest... |
