One would now understand the reason a God would eventually rapture what is left of his followers and allow 7 years of pure hell and a full scale armagedon occur amongst the savage ungodly peoples left behind until they almost completely wipe each other out per the Christian Book of Revelations.
Long, long piece in the Guardian that says that the Egyptian military brutalized and disappeared people. But the report was written by Muslim Brotherhood insiders at Muhammad Mursi's request. It puts Mursi in a pickle. Take a look.

"The series of cyber attacks last month resembled North Korea's past hacking patterns," the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning said at a press briefing. "Evidences (showed) that North Korea's reconnaissance general bureau did the act."
On March 20, computer networks at three banks and three broadcasters suffered the cyber attack, crippling about 48,700 PCs and servers, reported Xinhua. On March 25, there was an attempt to hack PCs of the ordinary people, while computer files at the broadcaster YTN's 58 PCs were destroyed and data at anti-North Korean organizations' homepage were deleted the following day.
Based on 76 malicious codes used for the hacking and Internet access records collected, the March cyber attack was planned at least eight months ago by indirectly planting malware in advance, according to the probe results by the government-led investigation team.
The investigation team found that six PCs in North Korea directly or indirectly accessed the infected computers some 1,590 times, among which Internet Protocol (IP) address linked directly to North Korea was spotted 13 times.

[Ynet] A Paleostinian youth armed with a knife was tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... near the Cave of the Patriarchs in the West Bank city of Hebron by Border Guard forces. The suspect admitted that he planned on carrying out a stabbing attack at the site.
Boys will be boys. And just about every day one of them gets himself arrested for this kind of thing.
The youth was questioned by the forces and turned over for further questioning.
[Ynet] Indictment against 29-year-old Hakmat Matzrawa from Taibe describes how he joined a group of rebels fighting Assad. Shin Bet claims rebels questioned him about IDF, Dimona reactor
Last February, Hechmat Matzrawa, 29, of Taibe, left Israel for Syria, with the intention of joining up with rebels fighting forces of Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Supressor of the Damascenes... He spent a week with the rebels, expressing a desire to participate in military maneuvers, assisting in establishing a military camp, and training with weapons. This is described in the indictment filed against him on Wednesday. The prosecutor's office has charged Matzrawa with contact with an enemy agent, illegal exit from the country, and forbidden military activity. He denies the charges.
In a joint operation of the Shin Bet and the Central Unit of the Police Central District, Matzrawa was placed in durance vile Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! at Ben Gurion Airport on March 19, upon his return to Israel. The Shin Bet said that rebels questioned him regarding Israel and the IDF, with most of the questions centering on types of weapons used by the IDF and questions regarding the Dimona reactor.
The indictment which was filed in Lod District Court by attorney Roy Reiss of the Central District Prosecutor's Office, claimed that the young man from Taibe snuck into Syria via the border with Turkey, motivated by ideology and in order to track down his brother who had apparently snuck into Syria himself.
It was also reported that "the accused was asked by the rebels to carry out a suicide kaboom on the border with Israel and refused, and he knew the group was interested in carrying out an attack against Israel, but he did not cut ties with them."
According to the indictment, "On the 17 of March, when the limited military activity in the area did not meet his combat expectations, and since he had not found his brother, and due to pressure from family members in Israel, he left the rebel unit and returned to the border with Turkey. Two days later, he flew back to Israel and was arrested.
The Accusations are a Lie
'My son did not make any contact with rebels," said Otman Matzrawa, father of the accused, to Ynet. "The indictment is a baseless."
Otman said that his son traveled to Turkey without telling any other family members, in order to "find his brother who had been in Syria for several months. It is natural that someone from the family would want to look for my son, when no one knows anything about his whereabouts." The father added, "My son is a clean and respectable person, on the day that he arrived in Turkey, he called us and said that he had begun searching for his brother and had paid money to people with the goal of helping in the search. He did not tell us that he had made contact with rebels."
Otman said that after a few days, his son called again, saying that he had run out of money. He asked that they send him $700 via bank transfer so that he could return to Israel. "We sent the money and when he returned, he was arrested. It seems the Shin Bet wants to punish my son after not succeeding in returning my second son who is missing in Syria. I do not know what they will do to my second son, should he return."
Otman said that his family is "very tense, we do not know how to deal with this. We ask for our son to be released, he did not make any mistakes, and he did not do or think to do anything that will threaten the security of the state of Israel."
"My client denies the charges in the indictment," attorney Halal Jabad said to Ynet. "His goal was to find information on his brother, who has been missing for 6 months and he and no intention of hurting the security of Israel." He added, "The accused went into Syrian territory on foot and met some rebels, they wanted to recruit him, he said he was not interested, that he was there with the goal of finding his brother and bringing him back to Israel."
'He will want to fulfill his plans'
The prosecutor filed a request to extend the remand of the accused through the end of proceedings against him because they believe he will try to repeat his actions.
Attorney Reiss said, "The serious charges which stand against Matzrawa on the basis of his prior communication with the rebels in Syria, will serve as a strong motivation for him to connect with them again. Additionally, they are part of what allows him to complete his original plan, and evade the judicial system."
The Shin Bet said they view the travel of Israeli Arabs to Syria as a dangerous phenomena to the security of the state. This puts them in the Syrian front, which exposes them to global jihad activists. When Israeli Arabs are exposed to this anti-Israel extremism, there is a danger that they will be taken advantage of by terror organizations
A trawler was damaged by a bomb and six other locations in Pattani province were hit by violence on Wednesday night, killing two military rangers.
A fishing boat at a pier in Muang district was bombed after 8 p.m. but no injuries were reported. A witness saw people believed to be terrorists insurgents approach the trawler in a small boat and plant a bomb at the rear of the vessel.
Terrorists Militants were also behind incidents in Kapho, Panare, Khok Pho, Yarang and Sai Buri districts, with apparently coordinated attacks around 8 p.m.
Suspected terrorists insurgents attacked a defense volunteers base in Kapo and a community center in Panare. A vocational training center in Sai Buri municipality and a public telephone booth in front of the Panare post office were burned.
Two rangers, one of them a lieutenant, were killed by terrorists insurgents during the attack on the community center in Panare.
Violence has intensified in the region since peace talks began, with officials specifically targeted. Terrorists Insurgents last week killed Yala deputy governor and the province's assistant governor. The two were killed by a roadside bomb attack on Friday.
The deaths raise doubts about Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) representatives' ability to direct terrorists militants in the region to ease their attacks as a show of their intention to end the violence.
[Jpost] Bomb was safely disposed of; had al-Qaeda linked group al-Nusra's signature with anti-Hezbollah, anti-Syria statements.
A bomb discovered in the Hezbollah stronghold of south Beirut on Wednesday reflected the increasing spillover of the Syrian war into Leb.
The bomb had writing on it that included the signature of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front along with anti-Hezbollah and anti-Syrian statements, according to Leb's Daily Star.
Hezbollah blocked off the area and disposed of the bomb, preventing security forces from reaching the scene, the report said.
In Syria on Tuesday, 12 Hezbollah members were killed in an ambush near Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... , Al-Arabiya TV reported.
Sources close to the Lebanese terrorist organization said the attack maimed more than 20 fighters and they were transferred to a hospital in south Beirut.
This follows a steady stream of reports that Hezbollah is involved in the fighting in Syria in an effort to defend the regime of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Leveler of Latakia... Also on Tuesday, the Future Movement in Leb, headed by MP Saad Hariri Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too. , the younger son of the assassinated former prime minister Rafik Hariri and the main member of the anti-Hezbollah March 14 Alliance, criticized the terrorist groups involvement in Syria.
"We condemn the increase in the number of Lebanese dead in Syria as a result of the continuing involvement of Hezbollah in the fighting," the Future Movement said, as quoted by the Daily Star.
The statement went on, "[Hezbollah] has endorsed a new role for its arms in line with regional plans and away from the Lebanese national interest."
Hezbollah has made efforts over the past years to appear as a Lebanese national movement, to appeal to the masses and downplay its Islamic and Iranian associations. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... by increasing its role in Syria to prop up Assad, the Shi'ite movement risks exposing itself to criticism that it does not act in the interests of Lebanese.
Leb has a history of parties and ethnic groups acting in their own interests rather than in the interests of the state.
The Future Movement statement also complained over the continued shelling of Lebanese territory by the Syrian army.
"Such involvement associates Leb with a number of dangers and further hurts the image of Hezbollah, which has distanced itself from its primary [purpose, which is] leading a resistance against the Israeli enemy," MP Atef Majdalani of the Future Movement said.
On Monday, two Hezbollah fighters were killed alongside Syrian forces in the village of al-Qasayr near the Lebanese border, AFP reported.
