I am not surprised that there was a protest against the bombings. I would be surprised if there was a protest against terrorism directed at Jews or Christians (or Hindus or Buddhists...) Of course, the Egyptian govt implied almost immediately that Jews might have done it... We (the US) give Egypt $2 Billion a year.

If you click here: "Denial is a river in ... ," you'll see the results of a poll in Egypt. About half the people think Israel was responsible.

These people are f***ing pathetic.

Retired General Salah al-Din Salim, an Egyptian researcher at the Strategic Studies Institute in Cairo, said that it could not be ruled out that the Israeli Mossad was involved in the terror attack in Dahab.

"The Mossad's ability to penetrate the Bedouins in Sinai is known," Salim said in an interview with al-Jazeera.

As Wretchard says, "I guess it's an argument for calibrating expectations in the Middle East. Maybe the 'small successes' viewed in context are really bigger victories than one thinks."

If every service at every mosque howls hatred, murder and death, muslims reap what they sow.
