El Balad adds that the supporters of Tawfik Okasha, another vocal critic of President Morsithe one who widely disseminated the graphic video of a Muslim apostate being slaughtered to cries of Allahu Akbargathered around the presidential palace, only to be surrounded by Brotherhood supporters, who attacked them with sticks, knives, and Molotov cocktails, crucifying some of them on trees, leading to the deaths of two and the wounding of dozens.
Far from condemning these terrorists, Al Azhar, Egypts most authoritative Islamic institution, has just issued a fatwa calling for more violence and oppression, saying that fighting participants in anti-Muslim Brotherhood demonstrations planned for 24 August is a religious obligation.
---------------------------
In reality, there is little reason to doubt this crucifixion story. Militant Muslims crucifying their opponents is a regular feature of the Islamic worldrecent cases coming from the Ivory Coast, where two Christian brothers were crucified, similarly by supporters of a Muslim president who ousted a Christian; Indonesia, where Islamic separatists crucified a fellow Muslim for being a military informant; and in Iraq, where Muslim militants crucified Christian children.
Moreover, those alleged to have been crucified in Egypt certainly fit the Korans description of who deserves to be crucified. According to Allah, The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this: that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off
(Koran 5:33).

Finally, it is telling that only a few months ago, and for the first time in Egypts modern history, an Egyptian MP proposed to institutionalize Sharias most draconian punishmentsincluding crucifixion.
In short, under the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the bottle has been uncorked and the Islamic Genie set loose. Expect much worse to come.
