Why would any American be in Egypt unless they had to? Was this American an infidel or a muslim?

Egypt is almost as dangerous as Mexico.

I was there in November 2012. The Egyptians I talked to were nor realistic about the situation. Most of them had kids 9 to 13. They wanted to educate their kids and 2 out of 3 hated the brotherhood. They have three problems bread, fuel and trafic, Now they have the islamists. Their balance of payment is getting even worse then it was then and for a country that imports food it is nota good situation. I feel really bad for the people.

I wanted to see the sites before the country collapse.

Very sad

Guess they will have to change the words of an old song “See the pyramids along the Nile” to “see Egypt burn along the Nile”.

The most important question is whether the military will intervene and against who (i.e. if they take sides). Or, will they collapse like the Shah of Iran’s military did (and allowed Khomeini to return and seize power, leading to what we have today).

I'd like to know what he was doing pointing anything at active combatants. That's just asking for it. Whether they mistake a camera for a weapon, or whether they correctly identify it as a camera but decide you are or might be working for the enemy, they still smoke you.

Didn’t Obama extend his had in friendship to the Islamophiles in his Great Cairo speech? This speech paved the way for his ally, Mubarak to fall.
How can it be that his Islamic fairness now has backfired in his face? (sarc).

But definitely NOT as dangerous as Chicago!!

We are friends of a couple in our church, and they like to travel to areas mentioned in the Bible.

A couple of years ago, they made another trip to Egypt. The husband was an ASA officer and sees things different than most tourists.

After their visit, he predicted wide scale riots due to the large number of College graduates with no jobs. They sat around in the coffee shops and condemned the current Egyptian leadership.

These unemployed were more than willing to discuss how bad Egypt was for them and how the leadership at that time had to be ousted.

A few months later, the riots started in Cairo.

Life Egypt, now, is probably even more miserable for these young men and women.

Muslims are at war with one another. Therefore it really doesn’t matter that much even if this victim was a Muslim. It wouldn’t protect him from violence. Also, it seems that whatever he was doing there, he was hit by gunfire that wasn’t just aimed at him but somebody was shooting in the area and he was hit. At least that’s the impression I got...
