Egyptian Xenophobia!
 |
| Watch out my Muslim Bros: for the big scary Infidel is among us. |
The Egyptian government was recently running advertisements on state television and private broadcasts that warned its citizenry against speaking to Johnny Foreigner. Yeah...they just might be spies; but more than likely they were pissed and got on the wrong plane to this fast-tracking dysfunctional country. The great irony of the official campaign of xenophobia is that Egypt, more so than even France or Italy, very much depends on visitors to propel its economy. How's that for economic acumen and a taste of things to come! But just watch what happens when the REAL nutters - aka the Muslim Brotherhood et al - rev up their 7th century engines.
Presently, the Egyptians have charged 43 democracy activists including 16 Americans, who now face being tried for receiving foreign funds without state permission. They've all been ordered to return to court in Egypt on July 4.
From blind sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman to 9/11 hijacker Muhammad Atta, Egyptians have helped orchestrate the murders of thousands of foreigners in terrorist attacks. If terrorism were an Olympic sport, Egypt would be gold medal winners.
Abdel-Rahman (left) - currently residing in a US jail - (though allegedly, the current administration would like to swope him) was accused of being the leader of Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (also known as "The Islamic Group"), a militant Islamist movement in Egypt that is considered a terrorist organization by the United States government. The group is responsible for many acts of violence, including the November 1997 Luxor massacre, in which 58 foreign tourists and four Egyptians were killed. How long can a country survive that exports terrorism but dislikes and now actively discourages travelers to come to Egypt? Without all that tourist moolah rolling in, who can say. But must the continuing madness of the Obama administration, still giving $1.5 billion annually in aid to prop up these Islamist cretins; must this insane policy go on a second longer?
The pyramids, the Sphinx and the long-gone Library at Alexandria represent the achievements of great civilizations long passed. But all that greatness was achieved centuries before the Arabs arrived with their great Plague of Islam.
Up Date: (CBS/AP) CAIRO - Egypt's highest court have just made an announcement today, Thursday 14th June 2012, ordering the country's Islamist-dominated parliament dissolved and ruled that the last prime minister to serve under Hosni Mubarak could stay in the presidential race, twin blows to the Muslim Brotherhood that could sweep away its political gains since Mubarak's ouster 16 months ago!
