Today may bring the next murderous phase of the Egyptian civil war, as the Muslim Jihadist leaders, who are generally their highest religious officials have reportedly called for a "March of Anger" through the streets of Cairo, which is conservatively expected to draw tens of thousands of pro-Morsi supporters to obediently march at noon ( their time), demanding that deposed president Morsi be reinstated immediately. They know that the "non-coup Coup" will never oblige with their demands, and they're probably planning to use the bodies of the unarmed people who are foolish enough to march as human shields for their murderous Jihadi gunmen to hide behind while they take pot-shots at the soldiers who will certainly be sent to stop them. This is their decades-old modis operendi when they go against an overwhelmingly stronger force. They make sure to thoroughly publicize the event in order to be sure that the international media will be present in force when they goad the Egyptian army into opening fire on the crowd of mostly unarmed people, by killing as many soldiers as they can before slinking away through the crowd, like the murderous cowards they are. This is what apparently happened yesterday when they reportedly killed some 40 plus soldiers ( while they were captured shooting on film) causing the most likely panicked soldiers to open fire on the crowd they hid behind, in a desperate attempt at self-defence. I'm sure that most of the Jihadists escaped, while those they cowardly hid behind lost over 600 of their demonstrators, when the army returned fire. In their minds this constitutes an overwhelming victory, as they probably lost few of their own "fighters" while their enemy ( the army) lost 40 soldiers. They apparently could not care less for the 600 dead demonstrators, whom they write off as necessary collateral casualties, other than for the shock value that causes the rest of the world to ignorantly blame the Egyptian army because they killed many more people. This is obviously a very effective strategy which may well be carried out in possibly even greater scale at the "March of Anger" today. I think a more appropriate name might be given to it by calling it the "March of Cowardly Murderers".
UPDATE: (8/17/'13)
The body count from yesterday's "March of Anger", or as the Media is now referring to it as the, "March of Rage", is uncertain as the government has reportedly told the Health Ministry not to release any more statistics to the press, and the Muslim Brotherhoods count of 200 dead on their side is always unreliable since they lie to the tune of several times larger than the truth, as a common practice.
The interesting new development was the spontaneous counter-demonstration movement to set up civilian roadblocks around Cairo on the usual routes to the areas of the pro-Morsi demonstrations of the past. These civilians were sometimes armed with pistols, but were mostly unarmed, or carrying sticks or machetes. They were considerably out-gunned, as in one case a pro-Morsi Jihadist was filmed firing off his Khalishnikov automatic assault rifle. This is interesting because the Media insisted upon referring to these pro-Morsi gunmen as "protesters", as if an assault rifle is a legitimate tool for emphasizing a dissenting political opinion; while the counter-demonstrators, armed much less militarily, were repeatedly referred to as "vigilantes" carrying an intentionally negative, and even lawless connotation with every reference. I guess we know which side the international Media is determined to support ( including the American press, mostly). They're backing Morsi's supporters, who are overwhelmingly the Muslim Brotherhood, who founded Al Quaida, under the direction of their protégé, Osama Bin Laden. He's that kindly "protester" who gave us "911", and many other explosive "protests", before he met up with Seal Team Six. I suppose the Media would have us call them "vigilantes", too!!!
