"NO ONE would EVER go to Egypt!..."

I was thinking about a post about how much they would lose, and that cooler heads might prevail -- approximately 12% of their economy is tied to the tourist trade, I found -- but then Islam tends to be spread among the uneducated, and the poverty-striken.

They are told that while their life is a struggle, Allah will reward the strong and obedient. So by their thinking, destroying the tourism industry would simply create more soldiers for the cause.

In other words, they're all insane.

Muslims are not into setting up cash registers and tourist souvenir stands in front of the pyramids. Just a wild guess.

I personally wouldn't pay Egypt a dime to see them.
