The changes taking place in Egypt, other parts of Africa, and the Middle East are inspiring. I only hope that Americans and those in other countries will follow the lead. I often think it is only due to the manipulation of a few, that the rest of the world suffers. The vast majority are good people who love and care for other humans regardless of their race, religion, culture, etc. You are an example and inspiration to many.

They have a long history of being in Egypt and in case you did not notice, Muslims and Christians protected each other in the tens of thousands as the other prayed. This looks like the root of democracy and also like the true desire for democracy, and I doubt sectarian citing will impede that sentiment now. Try not to let the slant in Western media make you unnecessarily afraid.<br /><br />It is unfortunate that on a blog like this, one of those gems in this age of rapid-response citizen reporting, there is room for flagrant and ignorant name-calling. I wish it didn't seem necessary to address the comments of people like Programmer Craig, who is one of those people who makes himself sound important in venues like this, or like Jason, who is one of a million hot-headed men who think by announcing soundbytes in numbered format they are informing and convincing others. There is no depth or background offered with the statements from these people, and yet they feel the rather apparent need to make not only their prejudice known but they're hateful motives. I can only find one positive note in the postings of such morons: their choice and matching of otherwise unrelated statements (from 9-11 to local bombings, for example) displays clearly what is on their minds. Perhaps they are so unaccustomed to things like story, evidence, credentials, or logical argument, that they are not incompetent and unconvincing planted propagandists but genuinely believe their comments influence the average reader here. I can't decide which is more pathetic.<br /><br />Anonymous, and for that matter anyone from WikiLeaks, I hope it's not true that you're a bunch of infiltrated, self-aggrandizing weirdos, and that you follow through on helping these people protect against the many lies and subtle tricks that will be played on them as they try to establish the first true homegrown Arab democracy. I've seen you both do some great things, and read of some really insensitive decisions you've both made too. In a world where the major media are lie factories, you are indispensable, and so far my heart is very much with you. Maybe I am too emotionally invested because so much else is disingenuous and discouraging in this age of tyranny-by-hypocrisy.

If calling Egyptians "savages", "animals", "lunatics" etc., and repeating Zio-Nazi racist incitement and lies doesn't qualify as hateful and racist, what does? I'm just wondering why Z doesn't enforce her own rules. Too much of that characteristic Egyptian tolerance and hospitality, maybe.<br /><br />Not surprisingly, much of what passes for Zionist apologia consists mostly of racial and religious slurs and defamation against Arabs and/or Muslims.<br /><br />The world is increasingly informed and can make its own judgment about just who are the "savages", "animals" and "lunatics" in our region -- and it ain't the Arabs.Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-76763879912859425522011-03-07T07:07:38.753+02:002011-03-07T07:07:38.753+02:00The Egyptian police state must be dismantled brick...The Egyptian police state must be dismantled brick by brick, cell by cell. <br /><br />Every dog who served this monster ought to be shamed publicly and be stripped of everything they have. <br /><br />Their names should be permanently registered in a public monument against Tyrants. <br /><br />These dogs, those guilty of the worst of crimes, should be locked in the same cells they tortured other people in.<br /><br />And the Egyptian dogs who fled Egypt?

If you speak Arabic you can see how she completely misunderstood and I would say purpousely escalated the situation. Big-head journalists who come here for the big events, don't speak the language are bound to cause trouble. <br />Documents in Amn Addaula will prove whether the MOI was involved in the bombing of Al Qaddiseen.<br />Lara Logan has not come out and made a statement about rape.

The fact is though, we are getting our freedom right now, evermore so by the day. And we're doing it on our own terms, not dictated by foreign imperialism. And as an Egyptian, my concern is not the security of American corporate interests, or our apartheid civilian-slaughtering neighbor.<br /><br />As Libyan Girl said, Arab regimes have a history with using extremist elements at their convenience, as indicated by Algeria's unfortunate civil war in the 90's, up until more recently with the Egyptian Regime. Besides using various Salafi Sheikhs on satellite tv to incite sectarianism, this attack in Alex (which killed around a dozen Muslims too) has the govt's fingerprints all over it. There's no way a bunch of fanatics could've executed it properly without govt assistance.<br /><br />Of course this doesn't fit nicely into the neocon-zionist narrative (that party also has a hand in propping sectarian strife in the region) because it doesn't fit properly in their war on(of) terror strategy. What any foreign imperialist has to say is the least of my concern, though. The balance of power in the region is already shifting, and in the favor of the Arabs who are tired of neoliberal economic subjugation as well as the corrupt western-propped dictators. Over the next few decades, the zionist entity will likely cease to exist (and there's no problem with that), and we will have a more unified, representative Arab world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-91120945583283250492011-03-06T22:29:00.772+02:002011-03-06T22:29:00.772+02:00@ programmer craig I and the rest of the world wor...@ programmer craig I and the rest of the world world never knew the MB were behind the infamous Luxor massacre, thanks for finally letting this long kept secret out.

The groups who did this are either Egyptian Salafists (who had a close relationship with the Egyptian regime and strongly opposed the revolution), or according to the MOI Palestinian Salfists from Gaza. Alarabiya, which unlike Jazeera, is pro-Arab 'moderate' regimes + fav Arab channel of Israeli and US is the one that reported that British intelligence accused MOI of being involved with terrorists and criminals and enabling the bombing to stay in power as a bulwark agaisnt extremism: http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/02/07/136723.html.<br /><br />I'm not saying I believe it as Alarabiya is prone to tabloid 'journalism', but Algeria in the 90s is an example of how murky the relationship between Arab regimes and terrorists is. Even if they did not enable the bombing the Egyptian regime has for decades encouraged sectarian conflict instead of combating it.Libyan Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-6618367664884747272011-03-06T09:54:56.138+02:002011-03-06T09:54:56.138+02:00Also - 'You Egyptians'?
