#Egypt #MuslimBrotherhood throw children from the top the roof of a building

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood throw children from the top the roof of a building

+18 video i hope you share it to let all the people know what is really happening in Egypt




-->  
The Muslim Brotherhood has long been known to have ties to al-Qaeda, and now their terrorist brothers are threatening to send jihadists to Egypt…but, they’re already there. In the video below and the screen shots, you’ll see two young boys thrown from the top of a water tower, located on a roof top, to the roof below – looks to be about two stories tall. The caption with the video from EgyptRadar says four boys were killed and describes them as “Armin children,” possibly meaning Armenian. One of the men on the roof top has a large al-Qaeda flag flowing from his back pocket. (correction 3:34 CDT – my original title indicated the man with the al-Qaeda flag threw the boys off of the water tower, but it was another man – unknown if he is al-Qaeda. My apologies.)

In the beginning of the video, there are two boys watching the street action in Alexandria, Egypt. Eventually, two more boys join them. Men on the rooftop start throwing rocks at them, and a man from the far side of the tower climbs to the top and throws one of the boys off, and then another. You can see the first boy being attacked by a man on the rooftop. It appears he took blows to the head. Then the second boy is pushed off. And apparently two followed at some time later.
Throughout the ‘throwing off’ period, you can hear what appears to be the voice of very young boys – whether one that fell, or the one(s) not yet pushed, I can’t tell. That al-Qaeda flag was brazenly strutting across the roof top and the attackers are identified as Mohamed Morsi’s (Mursi) Muslim Brotherhood supporters. Take a look at these photos:
Hours before Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was sidelined by the military council, Muhammad al-Zawahiri, Egypt’s al-Qaeda leader, declared that the terrorist organization would wage a jihad to save Morsi and his Islamist agenda for Egypt. (They would not be the first Islamic terrorists to come to his aid; Hamas members were earlier arrested from inside Muslim Brotherhood headquarters, where they opened fire on protesters.)

Remember the Muslim Brotherhood creed – still the official creed today.
“Allah is our objective, the prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way, dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

A day after supporters of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy, who was ousted from office on July 3, rallied to protest his removal inciting nationwide violence, Egyptians dealt with the aftermath and spent Saturday tending to the wounded and burying the dead. Recent counts say that 36 people were reportedly killed and 1,400 others injured in the street fights that broke out on July 5 between pro- and anti-Morsy demonstrators.
