#4 Egyptians are in a remarkably frank debate about whether mosques and schools — and the government itself — should be blamed for promoting Islamic extremism.

And after this "remarkably frank debate" they'll conclude they shouldn't be blamed. And pat themselves on the back for their ability to approach this openly and honestly.

And then they'll point to all the external reasons for extremism, most notably Jews, Israel, Zionism ...oh, and America.

And do nothing different.

#6 Good grief!

"...called the devastation God's revenge on Westerners engaged in vice."


Allan has worse aim then Elmer Fudd on a bad day!
How can you respect a "god" who can't hit the target?

#8 At one mosque in Cairo, some worshippers objected to prayers for the dead and missing after Saturday's bombings in Sharm el-Sheik because some victims were likely non-Muslims

Question: Anyone remember objections to prayers for terror victims in churches or synagogues because some of the victims might have not had the right religion?

I sure as hell don't.

#12 The mental block on mourning non-allan dead just underscores the fact that good arab muslims don't play well with their own let alone others. Arab secular nationalism has born small, disfigured and bitter fruit because of congenital cultural malformations of which islamic fundamentalism is not the only one. There will never be a frank debate when some topics are never brought to the table or even considered outside the minds of individuals.

#13 Ralph Peters suggested some time ago that the West should concentrate our psy ops in Indonesia, Iran and Egypt, three areas with strong cultures prior to the Islamic/Arab conquest that forced such cultures underground or ground them into the ground.

Maybe someone in the government read Peters article.
