    Egyptian police, protesters clash in Tahrir Square

    CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian riot police firing tear gas and rubber bullets stormed into Cairo's Tahrir Square Saturday to clear a protest tent camp, setting off clashes with protesters who fought back with stones and set an armored police vehicle ablaze. At least 81 people were injured, state TV reported.

    The scenes of protesters fighting with black-clad police forces numbering in the thousands were reminiscent of the 18-day uprising that forced out longtime President Hosni Mubarak in February. The violence took place just nine days before Egypt's first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections.

    Witnesses said the violence began when riot police dismantled a small tent camp set up to commemorate protesters killed in the uprising and attacked around 200 peaceful demonstrators who had camped out in the square overnight in an attempt to restart a long-term sit-in there.

    "Violence breeds violence," said Sahar Abdel-Mohsen, an engineer who joined in the protest after a call went out on Twitter urging people to come to Tahrir to defend against the police attacks. "We are tired of this and we are not leaving the square."

    Police fired rubber bullets, tear gas and beat protesters with batons, clearing the square and pushing the fighting into surrounding side streets of downtown Cairo.

    Abdel-Mohsen said a friend was wounded by a rubber bullet that struck his head and that she saw another protester wounded by a pellet shot in his neck.

    Crowds swarmed an armored police truck, rocking it back and forth and setting it ablaze. Black smoke rose over the crowd.

    Saturday's confrontation was one of the few since the uprising to involve police forces, which have largely stayed in the background while the military takes charge of security. There was no military presence in and around the square on Saturday.

    The black-clad police were a hated symbol of Mubarak's regime.

    "The people want to topple the regime," shouted enraged crowds, reviving the chant from the early days of the uprising.

      He was right on one point,only he could control the country and without him there will be rebellion amongst the tribes.

        Mubarak or Qaddafhi?
      • dillion edmonds 6 mths ago
        Both. Look at what is happening in either country now that they are gone. Worse things then before they left power.

      Where's the democracy? They ousted Mobarak, only to now have a military rule. Where are the democratic elections that were supposed to rise out of the "Arab Spring" uprising?
      • Adela Juliana 6 mths ago
        They took us for a fool with the abuse done to them by Mubarak

        WHAT ABOUT THE CATHOLICS AND THE CASTHOLICS CHRUCHES IN EGYPT?
    • BC  •  6 mths ago
      People who think that the Egyptian military is going to walk away from power are absolutely cluesless. The military has the weapons and the money. They have been ruling the country for decades, and it is not going to change anytime soon. They may have a retired general as a president or a civilian who will take direct orders from the military. That's the way it is going to be. Anything different than that is purely wishful thinking.
    • Teresa  •  Pittsburgh, United States  •  6 mths ago
      The Egyptian people are tired. They are tired of poverty, of no future for their children, unfair pay for college educated men and women, religious injustice. What do you expect to happen to the moral of a country that has leaders that love only themselves. Say what you will about America, We care about each other and our leaders though not perfect understand that they must answer to the People, So The Egyptian people must make the men in power in their country aware that they also will have to answer to the people.

    • Yeah, sure  •  6 mths ago
      This is a no-win situation.
      On one hand you've got a history of brutal, repressive Muslim governments.
      But on the other hand you've got the brutal, repressive Muslim "holy" men-ruled governments.
      They both slaughter in the name of their "most holy pedophile prophet".

      so these protests now are the rewards of the vaunted "Arab Spring"...

      the "Arab Spring" should have been called "Islamist Takeover"

    • Fred the Ted  •  6 mths ago
      We have had the victorious Egyptians, getting democracy in their wonderful start to the Arab Spring. It was rammed down our throats by the Islamoid BBC. Well, now they want to do some serious killing. And wait until after the elections when the hangings start.
    • Dan  •  South Bend, United States  •  6 mths ago
      The odds of Egypt becoming a western style democratic state are probably very slim. The odds of it becoming another Iran are probably considerably greater.

      Egyptian should also give a place for Christians in their new government. They have nothing to fear from them. See what Jesus said:
      ﻣﺘﻰ 5
      وَعِندَما رَأى يَسُوعُ الجُمُوعَ، صَعِدَ إلَى تَلَّةٍ وَجَلَسَ. فَجاءَ إلَيهِ تَلامِيذُهُ، وَابتَدَأ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمْ وَيَقولُ:

      «هَنِيئاً لِلمَساكِينِ بِالرُّوحِ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَهُمْ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلباكِينَ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيُعَزِّيهِمْ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلمُتَواضِعِينَ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيَرِثُونَ الأرْضَ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلجِياعِ وَالعِطاشِ لِعَمَلِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيُشبِعُهُمْ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلرُّحَماءِ، لِأنَّ اللهَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمْ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِذَوِي القُلُوبِ النَّقِيَّةِ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيَرَونَ اللهَ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلعامِلِينَ عَلَى إحلالِ السَّلامِ، لِأنَّهُمْ سَيُدعَونَ أبناءَ اللهِ.
      هَنِيئِاً لِلمُضطَهَدِينَ لِأجلِ البِرِّ، لِأنَّ مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ قَدْ أُعطِيَ لَهُمْ.

      «هَنِيئِاً لَكُمْ عِندَما يُهِينُكُمُ النّاسُ وَيَضطَهِدُونَكُمْ، وَيَتَّهِمونَكُمْ كَذِباً بِعَمَلِ الشَّرِّ، لِأنَّكُمْ تَلامِيذِي. افرَحُوا وَابتَهِجُوا، لِأنَّ مُكافَأتَكُمْ سَتَكُونُ عَظِيمَةً فِي السَّماءِ. لأنَّهُمْ هَكَذا كانُوا يَضطَهِدُونَ الأنبِياءَ الَّذِينَ عاشُوا قَبلَكُمْ أيضاً.
      «أنتُمْ مِلْحٌ لِلنّاسِ جَمِيعاً. لَكِنْ إذا فَقَدَ المِلحُ مَذاقَهُ، فَبِماذا نُعالِجُهُ لِيَعُودَ صالِحاً؟ لا يَصلُحُ فِيما بَعْدُ لِشَيءٍ، إلّا لِأنْ يُلقَى إلَى خارِجِ البيتِ، لِتَدُوسَهُ الأقْدامُ.

      «أنتُمْ نُورُ العالَمْ. لايُمكِنُ إخفاءُ مَدِينَةٍ مَبنِيَّةٍ عَلَى جَبَلٍ، وَلا يُشعِلُ النّاسُ مِصباحاً وَيَضَعُونَهُ تَحتَ إناءٍ! بَلْ يَضَعُونَهُ عَلَى حَمّالَةٍ مُرتَفِعَةٍ لِكَي يُضيئَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الَّذينَ فِي المَنزِلِ. هَكَذا أيضاً، اجعَلُوا نُورَكُمْ يُضيء أمامَ النّاسِ، لِكَي يَرَوا أعمالَكُمُ الصّالِحَةَ، وَيُمَجِّدوا أباكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّماءِ.»
      «لا تَظُنُّوا أنِّي جِئْتُ لِكَي أُلغِيَ شَرِيعَةَ مُوسَى أوْ تَعليمَ الأنبِياءِ. لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أُلغِيَها، بَلْ لِأُعطِيَها مَعناها الكامِلَ. أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ، إلَى أنْ تَزُولَ السَّماءُ وَالأرْضُ، لَنْ يَزُولَ أصغَرُ حَرفٍ أوْ نُقطَةٍ مِنَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، حَتَّى يَتِمَّ كُلُّ ما هُوَ مَكتُوبٌ فِيها.

      «لِذَلِكَ مَنْ يَكسِرُ أصغَرَ هَذِهِ الوَصايا وَيُعَلِّمُ النّاسَ أنْ يَفعَلُوا مِثلَهُ، سَيُعتَبَرُ الأصغَرَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ. أمّا مَنْ يُطِيعُ هَذِهِ الوَصايا وَيُعَلِّمُ الآخَرِينَ أنْ يُطِيعُوها، فَسَيُعتَبَرُ الأعظَمَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّماواتِ. لِأنِّي أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّهُ ما لَمْ تَزِدْ طاعَتُكُمْ للهِ عَلَىْ طاعَةِ مُعَلِّمِي الشَّرِيعَةِ وَالفِرِّيسِيِّينَ، فَلَنْ تَدخُلُوا مَلَكُوتَ السَّماواتِ.
      «تَعرِفُونَ أنَّهُ قِيلَ لِآبائِكُمْ: ‹لا تَقتُلْ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقتُلْ يَستَحِقُّ المُحاكَمَةَ.› أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ مَنْ يَغضَبُ مِنْ شَخصٍ آخَرَ فَإنَّهُ يَستَحِقُّ المُحاكَمَةَ، وَمَنْ يَشتِمُ شَخصاً آخَرَ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَقِفَ أمامَ مَجلِسِ القَضاءِ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ لِشَخصٍ آخَرَ: ‹أيُّها الغَبِيُّ› يَستَحِقُّ الجَحِيمَ.

      «لِذَلِكَ إنْ كُنتَ تُقَدِّمُ تَقدِمَةً عَلَى المَذْبَحِ، وَهُناكَ تَذَكَّرْتَ أنَّ شَخصاً آخَرَ لَهُ شَيءٌ عَلَيكَ، فَاترُكْ تَقدِمَتَكَ هُناكَ أمامَ المَذْبَحِ، وَاذْهَبْ وَاصْطَلِحْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ الشَّخصِ أوَّلاً، ثُمَّ ارجِعْ وَقَدِّمْ تَقدِمَتَكَ.

      «سالِمْ خَصمَكَ سَرِيعاً، بَينَما تَمشِي مَعَهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ إلَى المَحكَمَةِ. وَإلّا فَإنَّهُ سَيُسَلِّمُكَ إلَى القاضِي، وَالقاضِي سَيُسَلِّمُكَ إلَى السَّجّانِ فَيُلقِي بِكَ إلَى السِّجْنِ. أقولُ الحَقَّ لَكَ، إنَّكَ لَنْ تَخرُجَ مِنْ هُناكَ إلَىْ أنْ تَسُدَّ آخِرَ فِلْسٍ عَلَيكَ.
      «سَمِعْتُمْ أنَّهُ قِيلَ: ‹لاتَزْنِ.› أمّا أنا فَأقُولُ لَكُمْ: إنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ نَظَرَ إلَى امْرأةٍ لِيَشتَهيَها، فَقَدْ زَنَى بِها فِي قَلبِهِ. لِذَلِكَ إنْ كانَتْ عَينُكَ اليُمنَى تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقلَعْها وَألقِها بَعِيداً عَنْكَ. فَالأفضَلُ أنْ تَفقِدَ عُضْواً واحِداً مِنْ جِسْمِكَ، مِنْ أنْ يُطرَحَ جِسْمُكَ كُلُّهُ إلَى جَهَنَّمَ. وَإنْ كانَتْ يَدُكَ اليُمنَى تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقطَعْها وَألقِها بَعِيداً عَنْكَ. فَالأفضَلُ أنْ تَفقِدَ عُضْواً واحِداً مِنْ جِسْمِكَ، مِنْ أنْ يُطرَحَ جِسْمُكَ كُلُّهُ إلَى جَهَنَّمَ. «قِيلَ أيضاً: ‹إذا طَلَّقَ أحَدٌ زَوجَتَهُ، فَليُعطِها
