(Reuters) - An Egyptian judge sentenced 185 Muslim Brotherhood supporters to death on Tuesday over an attack on a police station near Cairo last year in which 12 policemen were killed.

The ruling is preliminary and subject to a lengthy appeals process. It also goes to the country's top religious authority for approval although his opinion is not binding.

The attack on the Kerdasa police station took place on Aug. 14, 2013, the day that Egyptian security forces cleared two Brotherhood protest camps in Cairo, killing hundreds of people in one of the bloodiest episodes in Egypt's modern history.

Of those sentenced, 151 are in custody, with the others being tried in absentia, a judicial source said.

3. Can't say I'm sure whether or not to feel all that sorry for these folks, to be honest.

Granted, I realize this may seem harsh, but you have to realize just what the Muslim Brotherhood is; they aren't the perfectly innocent organization they pass themselves off as. In fact, amongst their earliest sins was collaborating with Hitler's Germany just before, and during WWII.....and they basically founded Hamas, too, btw. Just two of the many things wrong with this fascist rathole.
