Shots in the air in a Cairo theater [anti-Americanism in Egypt] (translation)
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/8/2004

Translation from Hebrew to English by me

A theater in Egypt its own rules.

In the last period or so people coming to watch a play at the theater in Cairo have been surprised, as right before it begins actors spread out throughout the audience wearing American uniforms and threaten them with weapons.

The actors wearing American soldier customs command on the audience, shouting at them to sit down, and shut up or clap hands during the right instances.

The shocked crowd finds itself listening to the orders and even moves to corners due to the shoving and firing of guns in the air the persuasive actors take part in.

After the dramatic start the audience is shown different scenes of Americans getting involved in conflicts in the Middle East, and the audience is presented with news casts and other skits showing Iraq under US occupation and other plans the US has for the Middle East.

The director and star actor explains that the radical step is used to get the audience involved and to get them off their seats, to experience a different type of show.

During the show, actors potraying Americans are shown to be murderers, blood lovers, and evil. Israeli soldiers are also shown operating in Arab houses, the Saddam statue falling down in Baghdad, and also a suicide terrorist reading his will before he blows up.

At the end of the show, the main actor who potrays the evil American commander says: We have no solution, the solution is with you, the Arab public.

It must be noted that in the Egyptian government media, the show was reviewed very positively. One of the visitors to the theater said that this show shows that "the only way to fight is using suicide terrorists."

Mubarak should be kicked out of the US and all aid to him should end. He heads a regime which supports and harbors those elements which murder Americans and Israelis, and a regime which incites its citizens to take such terrorist actions.

Cool. Maybe actors will blow themselves up, too.

What would really be cool, is have the play interactive, with audience participation. They could hand out suicide belts (assuming they don't already have their own) and all blow themselves up together!

Bet it would play to rave reviews in some American theaters too. Some of our homegrown left is just as anti-American. They would call it patriotic & an attempt to get people to rethink American policies.

I love it when socialists portray Americans - this has been going on for at least 50 years. They never seem to understand us until we conquer them in the battle that THEY force.
