It's not uncommon to arrest Americans for carrying any sort of Christian material or symbols. They knew, or should have known, the rules so no sympathy here.

Yes, I know... that's very disturbing, especially if we take into consderation that Egypt is supposed to be an "ally" of the US. Mohammedans are treated with respect and allowed to spread their nonsense in the USA, but Christians are treated like scum in Mohammedan nations... and President Bush has the guts to call Islam a "Religion of Peace".

No sympathy? How about we start arresting muslims for wearing head scarves and carrying copies of the koran?

I would never allow myself, nor anyone else I know, to visit a country like this.
