Cairo streets fill with protesters

Thousands of Egyptians took to the streets after Friday midday prayers in rival rallies and marches across Cairo.

Muslim Brotherhood and Egyptian President Morsi supporters chant slogans during the funeral of three victims who were killed during Wednesday's clashes outside Al-Azhar mosque, the highest Islamic Sunni institution, Friday, Dec. 7, 2012. During the funeral, thousands Islamist mourners chanted, "with blood and soul, we redeem Islam," pumping their fists in the air. "Egypt is Islamic, it will not be secular, it will not be liberal," they chanted as they walked in a funeral procession that filled streets around Al-Azhar mosque. Arabic on the poster, up, reads, "Martyrs legitimacy." (AP Photo/Hassan Ammar)
