Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.

From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife. Well...would ya look at that. Maybe they're not all eeeeeeevil foreigners and terrorists after all.

You can take your head from under the pillow.
Egypt has been a US ally for some time now, what's your point?

Not sure what being an ally with the United States has to do with Coptic Christians.

Just stay tuned and you'll learn. It took me awhile also.

So you are trying to tell me that because we prop up the Egyptian government with billions of dollars a year, random muslims in Egypt went and acted as protection for Coptic Christians. Is the correlation you are suggesting? Sometimes, it has nothing to do with us.

Get your scattered brain in order first chief.

I was there last year for Coptic Christmas when some nuts shot up a church on Christmas Eve. Not much sympathy from the natives who I was around.

That country was much different 20 years ago, every day it's getting more and more Muslim and stricter. Women are being forced more and more to cover.

MOGADISHU, Somalia – Somalis say Islamist insurgents have banned unrelated men and women from shaking hands, speaking or walking together.

Residents of the southern Somali town of Jowhar said Saturday that the al-Shabab insurgents threatened to whip, imprison or execute anyone found breaking the recent edicts.

Resident Hussein Ali says he will no longer greet women he knows for fear of punishment.

Student Hamdi Osman says gunmen are searching buses for improperly dressed women or women traveling alone. She says she was once beaten for wearing Somali traditional dress instead of the long, shapeless black robes favored by the fighters.

The insurgents have already banned women from working in public, leaving many families completely destitute.

Coming from someone from Kensington on LSD. No small wonder that area is a wasteland. Ouch!

You've made that joke twice, you've exhausted your mental well already? Not a surprise.

Yes, religous extermist are awfull, but the people you are saying are being persecuted are themselves muslims.

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.

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?

[encunnibriG]

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

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.
