Early results from Egypt's first post-revolution election showed Islamist parties sweeping to victory, including hardline Salafists, with secular parties trounced in many areas. Partial figures trickled in for the areas of the country that voted in record numbers on Monday and Tuesday, confirming earlier predictions that Islamist parties would win at least two thirds of the ballots cast.
In Port Said, the moderate Islamist alliance led by the previously banned Muslim Brotherhood triumphed with 32.5% of votes for parties, while the hardline Al-Nur party gained 20.7%, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.
The liberal Wafd party won 14%, while another Islamist party Al-Wassat, which advocates a strict interpretation of Islamic law, recorded 12.9%, according to Al-Ahram.

many years ago a friend of mine was traveling around the middle east in a vw van, as he approached a check point in the desert he saw a lady on the side of the road, when he passed her he heard a thump..when he got up to the checkpoint the soldier started screaming and pointed at the bumper, there was blood all over it, the lady had thrown a goat head at him, and came running up saying he killed her baby..they took all cash they could find and let him go..your daughter was lucky..

The
Islamist Alliance (led by the Freedom and Justice Party, Muslim Brotherhood party following the lines of the Turkish AKP) got 32.5%. Hizb al-Wasat al-Jadid (Muslim Brotherhood) got 12.9. And the Salafist Al-Nour got 20.7%. That is 66% for the Islamists.
And no Muslim Brotherhood Party is moderate. Their motto is "God is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of God is the highest of our aspirations." MB vs Salafis is like Stalinists vs Trotksyites, except they kill us more than each other.

Maybe this time Israel will keep the Sinai?
Think big. Maybe it will liberate Alexandria and give it to the Copts.

These are the same subhuman degenerates that assassinated Sadat for signing a treaty with Israel.
When the muhammadans unite to make their move against Israel, WWIII will begin, and maybe Civil War II here in the USSA.

Very low ratings will get it taken off the air a lot quicker than any protests.
I never watch TV comedies but was psyched for the Geico Cavemen comedy series a few years back. Lasted about 5 episodes before it was yanked due to low ratings.
I thought is was funny as all get out, especially the one titled "The Shaver" which was about a guy the cavemen suspected was one of them but was trying to pass himself off as human by shaving his body.
Come to think of it, that same story line could be applied to "All American Muslims" pretty easily.

The Libs, muzzies and the ACLU are doing everything in their power to keep this TV jihad going.
When their sponsors desert them, they will fold.
It’s up to all us good American citizens to boycott and prevent them from destroying all we have done to alert the country to the danger of Islam.

and yet ...While the international community and much of the world's media has been focused on the so-called "Arab Spring" and on events transpiring across the Middle East, they seem to have turned a blind eye to South East Asia and in particular on West Papua and the plight of the West Papuan's...
