Cairo Mosque Stormed in Standoff:
Witnesses say that Egyptian security forces stormed the mosque after firing tear gas at hundreds former President Mohammed Morsi supporters.
Local journalist Shaimaa Awad told The Associated Press that security forces rounded up pro-Morsi protesters inside al-Fatah mosque, located in Cairo's central Ramses Square and the sound of gunfire could be heard in the background. Footage from inside the mosque showed protesters huddling on the green carpeted floor next to the wounded, and furniture barricading the doors.
Egypt's official news agency MENA reported that gunmen opened fire on security forces from the mosque's minaret. Local television stations broadcast live footage of soldiers firing assault rifles at the minaret.
In my opinion I think that what it's happening in Caire is a slump for the Egyptian population, and it's shameful that security forces open fire from the mosque's minaret, because despite of not beeing musulman I think that a mosque is a sacred place and it has to be respected.
