True but apparently a crowd of thousands just overtaken news post sites in Alexandria calling for the death of the west,stoning of all unbelievers, rapes of unveiled women and the destruction of Israel.
The military has fired warning shots from multiple artillery pieces out to sea and have mobilised half a dozen APC's filled with soldiers to corner the islamists.

Do you have some sources for this? If its true, then its turning very bad.
The real issue is this: If Mubarak tumbles and if Washington uses its influence—and yes, it does have influence at approximately $3 billion in annual total aid—to push him out, what kind of government will follow his? Will it be even less democratic and more repressive? And what will be the implications for U.S. security in the region?
So, let's stop prancing around and proclaiming our devotion to peace, "universal rights" and people power. Instead, let's step back and look hard at what we know and don't know about this popular explosion in the bosom of one of America's most vital allies—and what the United States can and can't do about it.
The other "devil," now being proclaimed as misunderstood Islamic democrats, is the Muslim Brotherhood, and they should give us great pause. Baloney and wishful thinking aside, the MB would be calamitous for U.S. security. What's more, their current defenders don't really argue that point, as much as they seem to dismiss it as not important or something we can live with. The MB supports Hamas and other terrorist groups, makes friendly noises to Iranian dictators and torturers, would be uncertain landlords of the critical Suez Canal, and opposes the Egyptian-Israeli agreement of 1979, widely regarded as the foundation of peace in the Mideast

The prisons were filled with MB supporters and members. Most cases of torture revolved around MB members, MB members have also been executed, many, many times. While MB was banned, I didn't see Christianity being banned.
So yes, Christians were oppressed just like the rest of the Egyptian population, but the banned MB was the center focus of the human rights violations.
The seventh day of protests opened today with the wholesale replacement of President Hosni Mubarak's Cabinet

THATS BULLCRAP.
Not for a second I think all the protesters, whether they want to form a gov't or not, are involved in the Muslim Brotherhood who has terrorist ties...
This are people like you and me, who are fed up.
You'd have to be a xenomorphic bafoon to believe the reports.
