Egypt heading toward Shariah standard


WorldNetDaily.com reports: “The Muslim Brotherhood, which initially sought to allay fears Egypt would adopt radical Islam after the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, has reversed course and now is ‘working to maximize its achievements in the upcoming elections,’ according to a report from the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Not only does Shariah Law oppose a democratic form of government but would bring mass devastation upon any nation and people who promote anything but Shariah law, the most deadly dealing law exercised.

According to the Daily Telegraph, citing the news site Vice.com, the flag was flying alongside the Libyan national flag but the National Transitional Council denied it was involved.

If that were not enough, Vice.com reported that Islamists were seen driving the streets of Benghazi while waving al-Qaeda flags and shouting, ‘Islamiya, Islamiya! No East, nor West’…”
