CAIRO (AP) — Egyptian protesters have ransacked an office of the Muslim Brotherhood's political party in the northern coastal city of Alexandria.

It was the second such attack on an office of the Islamist group on Friday. The first was in the Cairo neighborhood of Manial.

Both attacks happened as opponents and supporters of the Brotherhood clashed near the group's headquarters in Cairo.

An Associated Press cameraman saw protesters attack the office in Alexandria, leaving with computers, files and other objects. The attack took place near the site where unknown assailants fought protesters demanding the resignation of President Mohammed Morsi, who is a member of the party.

Brotherhood offices came under attack across Egypt last December.

The group has characterized the assailants as "thugs" and "counter-revolutionaries" seeking to oust the democratically elected leader.

Great. Honestly, there's nothing redeeming in this Muslim Brotherhood rule. Domestically, it seems about as truculent as Mubarak's. I've read that there's strong suspicion that it is sponsoring thugs to sexually harass women activists. And internationally, the MB has turned out to be even more of a US puppet than Mubarak. Its Gaza policy is particularly awful. I don't want to offend Egyptian posters by having a non-Egyptian saying what's best for their country, but I'm all for a resurgence of Nasserite secular nationalism in Egypt.

But it's either this or the military...sadly not too many options on the table!

I can see a civil war in Egypt if things stay as they are.

Also that lynching recently was disgusting.

Why are Arabs so quick to turn to violence? there were hundreds of people there all chanting and wanting a piece of flesh.

I'm not so sure. Apparently Egyptian nationalism is so strong - remember, it dates back at least six thousand years - that the pro-democratic revolutionaries seem to prefer to reduce a government they disagree with to near-powerlessness rather than set up a competing entity.

Obviously you seem like you never heared of the EDL

If you said some Arabs ,then I might agree on that ,but we can play the race card too.
