Three pro-Mursi marches coming from the Abbasiya and Zatoun areas joined the demonstrators at Rabaa al-Adaweya Square in Cairo's Nasr City on Friday evening.

The demonstrators took part in the Taraweeh prayers upon their arrival to the square, the state news agency reported.

Vigilante groups are in charge of securing the square during the prayers, the agency added.

Army helicopters circled the square and showed the demonstrators with Egypt's flags.

The demonstrators at Rabaa demand the return of former president Mohamed Mursi to power.

    Islamist simply do not understand what Democracy means.

    To Islamists it is a means of imposing their will on Other particularly women, rather than enabling the maximised independence of each and every citizen.

    Even a 12 year old Egyptian child spoke with cutting insight on YouTube detailing the danger of Islam at the controls of power in Egyptian society. As the 12 year old Egyptian said Islam wanted to impose a fascist theocracy this was not Democracy.

    Islam inclusive of the Muslim Brotherhood do not stage Revolutions, Islam stages Impositions of Tyranny.

    Islam’s definition of Freedom is Chains, particularly for women.

    It did not take a year before the Muslim Brotherhood was intent on ‘purifying’ the Egyptian Art culture of Egypt by sweeping away ‘corruption’ using exactly the same actions as the Nazi in the 1930s getting rid of the Art directors who did not align to the ‘correct’ Islamic version of Art. Even had Islamists on television determining they intended to destroy the sacrilegious pyramids.

    Tony Blair: "at the extreme end of the spectrum(consistant Muslim behavioral variance) are terrorists" And we have to put it on the table and be honest about it.

    Hezbollah, Taliban, Boko Haram along with similar Muslim entities under different names since the seventh century are all mere historical pimples caused by the same pathology

    Surely Muslims must see from the brutilised bodies to this very monent from the seventh century and the consistent brutal political construct of Other and women it is time to reconsider if Muslim cultural foundation codex is worth the brutality they impose inevitably in space and time on Other and women.

    Please of the sake of Humanity Reflect, Reflect, Reflect....
