[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Egyptian-American, and this seems like a new low.  ("Religion of peace" poster, please go away).  I think areas like the province in Egypt where this happened are ripe for ISIS takeover, especially considering how violent and hateful the people have become, and how incompetent the government is:

CAIRO — An armed Muslim mob stripped an elderly Christian woman and paraded her naked on the streets in an attack last week in which seven Christian homes were also looted and torched in a province south of the Egyptian capital.

According to the local Orthodox Coptic church and security officials, the assault in the Minya province village of Karma on Friday began after rumors spread that the elderly woman's son had an affair with a Muslim woman — a taboo in conservative Egypt.

...

Makarios, in unusually candid comments, said he predicted the crisis in the Minya village will most likely be handled through a government-sponsored meeting of the two sides in which the Christians will be forced to accept "humiliating" conditions for reconciliation.[/quote]

What a nightmare it would be to live in a place like this, when any rumor could turn into violence, where innocent women are attacked in the streets.  There is some outcry over this in Egypt, which is slightly encouraging, but you know, talk is cheap.  [b]I also don't know why we support Egypt's government to the extent that we do.[/b][/quote]

We need more friends in that region and US Govt is willing to look the other way as we have done in the past. [/quote]
