American analysts continue to assert that Egyptians just want Western-style pluralistic democracy.

Anyone who believes precisely what that sentence means is either an ignoramus or part of the conspiracy.

Well, that’s one way to bring an end to the Fiasco In Cairo. All of the women currently “protesting” there will have to STFU and go back to being partially seen but not heard. Those “peace sign” flashing, girlyman “students” are really brilliant. They must really be “into” the slavery gig. Morons.

Of course they are. These downtrodden Egyptians yearning to breathe free—encouraged and aided by Obama—will soon be hanging men from portable cranes and shooting women in the head with AKs at half-time of soccer games.

I asked my son and his friend whether they had been discussing in school (7th grade) the situation in Egypt, and what their teachers were saying about it. They said that they had discussed it, and that it was all because Mubarak was a dictator. There was no discussion of Egyptian history, of the assassination of Sadat because he signed a peace accord with Israel, or about Islamic fundamentalism.

I told them I we should never tolerate dictators, but that it was very important for them to never take anything said by others as the truth until they had looked into the details themselves and formed their own opinions. I told them that this was one of the most important goals of their education, to learn to think critically by themselves.

They legitimately asked me how to get information if you can't just trust what the ‘news’ people tell you the facts are. I told them that is why you have to get information from multiple sources before coming to your own conclusions.

They are supposed to learn how to think critically in school, but instead as parents we have to protect them from learning and excepting as fact the biases of their teachers.

Sad.

Expecting savages to embrace “Western style pluralistic democracy” is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard.

Islamic wackos like nothing better than stoning someone to death (the younger the better) or watching body parts chopped off. One would have to conclude it makes a Muslim’s day? I guess we could call it a Muslim Super Bowl party? I doubt that the people of Egypt really find this barbaric way of life one they would prefer. If so, they’re truly demented.

Unfortunately the majority of sheeple in the US have no clue to what is going on and how Obama and his cabal are enabling and ultimately what this will mean here...

Odd that 90 percent of the ‘protesters’ are men...guess women in Egypt just aren’t interested in ‘islamic Democracy’, and/or afraid of rape, subjugation, etc. This crowd is inspiring, whew!

Muslims Attack Two Christian Families in Egypt, 11 Killed

News of a massacre of two Christian Coptic families by Islamists just emerged from Upper Egypt with the return of the Internet connections after a week of Internet blackout by the Egyptian regime. The massacre took place on Sunday, January 30 at 3 PM in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province.

Two Islamists groups, aided by the Muslim neighbors, descended on the roof of houses owned by Copts, killing eleven Copts, including children, and seriously injuring four others.

...Anba Agathon, Bishop of Maghagha, told Coptic activist Dr. Mona Roman in a televised interview on Al-Karma TV that the killers are their neighbors, who seized the opportunity of the mayhem prevailing in Egypt and the absence of police protection to slaughter the Copts. The two families were staying in their homes with their doors locked when suddenly the Islamists descended on them," said Bishop Agathon, "killing eleven and leaving for dead four others family members. In addition, they looted everything that was in the two Coptic houses, including money, furniture and electrical equipment. They also looted livestock and grain."

I was reading an Egyptians Tweets he was sending through Jordan and he had a blog . He was calling for a Democracy. He has been arrested and his blog shut down. All I know is you will never hear the truth from the media.
