So from 545 suspects, 529 were convicted of killing one policeman and attempting to kill another two ? It's it rather extreme ? This court ruling seems rather biased.

Well, that escalated quickly.

While Egypt deals with the Muslim Brotherhood fascists, the US government tries to help the same organization in Syria and around the region, and has meetings with their reps. Crazy.

OMG. Do they plan to execute them all in one day? That would be a massacre.

Seems a bit over the top. Well, completely nuts. I hope the US pulls it's aid package.

Its interesting how cool people are when hearing that 529 people will get killed , as long they are not christians , or are not suporters of west .This what is happening in Egipt is the result of American fear that big Egyptian army can get in hands of people who are not favorable toward Israel or western powers .

The most importand part, it was democratic elected government, and because of that , majority of people in Egypt are supporters of President Morsy,

Military trow legally elected government , arrested President Mursi and declared main political party as illegal one .

Main general of Egypt army decided to be candidate to the new elections ( wonder who will try to risk his life to counter him ? )

4 . Killing of people who support Mursi ( they even kill ones who they detain http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/08/2013818175824286257.html ) and this is last straw, they want to kill half thousand of people for killing one policemen ? This all tells that they want to bring fear dictatorship .

5 . And finally, where is the response of all this from west ? Where is justice ? NO ONE CARES AT WEST , AS LONG WESTERN INTEREST ARE PROTECTED , WESTERN JUSTICE IS JUST THAT, WESTERN, ONLY FOR THEM SELF AND FOR THEIR INTEREST . That this was Islamic court wants to kill 529 pro-western people , we would hear from Obama , Merkel and other western leaders how that is unacceptable .

Justice for every life , no matter on what side it is .

It's just the ruling regime flexing their muscles a bit. Most of the people convicted aren't even in custody, and the judgment will be overturned on appeal. Not to mention the fact that western ambassadors are undoubtedly visiting the government officials responsible and calmly asking if they're out of their ****ing minds.
