Egyptian protesters clash with police, unseen, in Port Said, Egypt, Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013. (AP Photo)Egypt - Egypt’s president has declared a 30-day state of emergency and curfew in the three Suez Canal provinces hit hardest by a wave of political violence that has left more than 50 dead in three days.
An angry Mohammed Morsi vowed in a televised address on Sunday he would not hesitate to take more action to stem the latest eruption of violence across much of the country.
The three provinces are Port Said, Ismailiya and Suez.
Morsi June, also invited the nation’s political forces to a dialogue starting Monday to resolve the country’s latest crisis.
The predominantly secular and liberal opposition has in the past declined Morsi’s offers of dialogue, arguing that he must first show a political will to meet some of its demands.

Good, let them forever be busy destroying each other, for whilst they're doing so, Israel is not on their minds and thus can't plot or scheme against her. Cheers!

They always have israel and jews on their mind.
Dozens of egyptians kill each other is not as big a deal to them is an IDF patrol doing their job by keeping terrorists out of israel.
i would bet that at some point some egyptian leader will blame; jews, israelis, tzionim or all three for their problems.

The fighting is not surprising. Egyptians had a taste of secular freedom for too long to want to give it up for the radicalism being forced on them by this new government. Now they see what the reality is to live under the yoke of extremism and they want no part of it.

That's precisely my point, as long as they're at each other's throats there's no time to blame.

On the contrary.
my point was that even when they are at each others throats, they will still find a way to blame us.

Not trying to get you off your high horse, but this has NOTHING to do with "a tatste secular freedom." These are football riots. There were some very violent football riots about a year ago, many rioters got captured, tried (at least by arab standards of trial) and about 20 of them sentenced to die. Those rioting now are the supporters of the same football team as the condemned and are trying to get them released.
