Egyptian Soldiers Shot after Friday Prayers.

"Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them & set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbours for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized & slain without mercy – a fierce slaughter – murdered, a horrible murdering." So Allah tells his demented devotees, in the book that reads like the maunderings of a senile acid casualty, the Koran, in verse 33:60.

If a Muslim doesn't go in for killing the infidel, waging jihad or enforcing shari'ah law, then Allah deems him a hypocrite. Thus, an Egyptian soldier trying to maintain order in a secular Egypt is a hypocrite & prescribed a horrible murdering. Two such soldiers received just such horrible murdering today, after prayers (just to make the murdering extra holy), as reported by Ahram Online (hat-tip to Tarek Fatah ਤਾਰਿਕ @TarekFatah):

Two officers killed, Islamists rounded up as Friday protests begin

Two army officers were killed in drive-by shootings while over 100 alleged Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested and seven bombs were defused, as planned Islamist protests kick off in the capital and other governorates on Friday.

Both officers were shot in the early morning, with the first killed on Gesr Al-Suez Street, east of Cairo, and the second in the Abu-Zaabal area of Qalioubiya governorate, north of Cairo.

Two others – an officer and a conscript accompanying the Gesr Al-Suez officer – were injured and have been transferred to hospital, the army said in a statement, as reported by state-run news agency MENA.

The two attacks were carried out despite heightened security across Egypt in anticipation of a call for mass Islamist protests on Friday. Cairo was largely calm after Friday midday prayers, with security forces deployed in major squares and at key buildings.

Police said earlier in the day that 107 alleged members of the Muslim Brotherhood had been arrested for intending to carry out acts of violence, MENA reported.

Also, police said that seven bombs were defused in four governorates, including Cairo – a daily occurrence since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

The organisers of Friday's protests – the ultraconservative Salafist Front – called for the imposition of Islamic rule and preservation of Egypt's "Islamic identity."

The Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails, has endorsed the call for protests.

Several other Islamist groups, however, including the Salafist Nour Party and former Brotherhood allies the Wasat Party and Al-Gamaa Al-Islamiya movement have rejected the demonstrations.
