#1 Nothing against the Copts, who I feel great pity for and anger against the Egyptians, but:

"O Mubarak ...the hearts of Copts are burning with fire"

or

"Our hearts and blood for you, O blank!"

Is it a tranlation issue or just my cultural insensitivity, but don't these chants in arabic/persian countries always sound so overwrought and overblown?

At least here and Europe the chants ("Hey hey, ho ho, blah, blah, blah's got to go!") are so lame you can't take them seriously. And I wonder how seriously most of the moonbats take them when chanting.

#2 "O Mubarak ...the hearts of Copts are burning with fire,"

If the region could just lay down at 20 percent tax on O the children could go to school, the hungry eat, the thirsty drink and the homeless find a bus.
