Egypt

It seems the Egyptians have the right idea. Unfortunately, Islamist extremists are pushing the expression of secular outrage to violence. They are initiating the violence to intimate those who oppose an extreme Islamist government. This is the modus operandi of extreme Islamists. I praise the brave Egyptian secularists who will not be cowed by Islamist paramilitary thugs who support a theocratic President with a totalitarian Sharia agenda.

 

The wimpy responses of U.S. diplomats and the U.S. President reflect the U.S. government's participation in a corrupt dictatorship for decades by way of supporting Israel's border with Egypt. Of course, Israel itself  is also becoming a theocratic state under the harsh influence of Orthodox settlers and isolationist Hasidim. Hyper-religious American politicians are hard-pressed when they are confronted with the evil of religiosity elsewhere. Yes, the problem is religion...not which religion
