"We will await the retribution that Mursi called for. We will wait for a decisive stand regarding Sinai to purge it from terrorism and from gangs that aim to establish an Islamic emirate there." -- Mohamed Amin, Al-Masry Al-Youm "Our Armed Forces cannot impose full control on Sinai. Thus terrorist cells will grow together and at some point will be able to establish an Islamic emirate in the peninsula." -- Mustafa Abu Zeid, Al-Wafd "The looting and forcible evacuation in Dahshour is the beginning of a sectarian war that will make the civil war in Lebanon look like a toy in comparison." -- Gamal El-Ghitani, Al-Akhbar "Having a presence in Damascus signifies being also present in Beirut, South Lebanon, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian question." -- Ghassan Charbel, Al-Hayat "The rebels are well aware that Aleppo is the grand prize; the greatest barrier that will bring down all the arguments, lies, myths and fraud of the Al-Assad regime." -- Hussein Shobokshi, Asharq Al-Awsat "The FSA and all the other factions of the Syrian opposition should supposedly introduce an ethical model contrary to that of the regime," Atwan wrote. -- Abdel-Bari Atwan, Al-Quds Al-Arabi
