It wasn't meant as, nor is a joke. Just layin' on some truth

Okay, you made that attempt at an insult twice. Try again.

No thanks Dayman. I shouldn't have posted on this thread last night anyway. I had yesterdays paper but
missed the story about the Copts, so wasn't aware of it.

Okay, this is why I comment on your mental situation.

You attempted two jokes/insults about me and LSD in the last few days. Got it?

No beef with you, but you can dish it out pretty good also. I'm sober tonight, not so last night.

There are crazies everywhere. The problem is, they're getting better and better organized in that area of the world, and communication is much easier in the 21st century.

The problem is not the "crazies", they are everywhere and in every walk of life. What I'm talking about is the slow transformation of a country through propaganda and mainly against their will, into an Islamic state. I know several well educated Egyptians, in Egypt, (Muslim, Christian) and one American who does a lot of business there (she is a white, American, Jew-you can imagine what she deals with) they can tell you the real story of what's happening on the ground.

I think this is happening in the Middle East countries where they have toletarian and oppressive governments. I think this causes people who are dissatisfied to turn to these religious organizations as a form of protest. Mubarak is secular for the most part.

My mother just got back from Egypt. She was there in the 80s. She says the population of where she was (I forget where) has tripled: Mostly poor, of course. I have to wonder how much of the expansion of radical Islam is due to a growing poor and uneducated populace.

It's huge. The Islamists are prommissing food, shelter etc... Mubarik is a dictator and needs to go. Egypt was a very well rounded country, "The Gate Way to Africa", like NY almost. Not anymore, I think they have like a 40% un-employment rate and that's been for 10 years.

It’s this simple. Throughout history there is a bonding amongst and within minorities. The Eastern Catholic rites are one of many minorities in this world. Something Western cultures are not fully appreciative of.
