The early Egyptians were idolaters and the devout Muslims view them as the Taliban in Afghanistan view their Buddhist ancestors. Thank you for that. I thought as much.

Egyptian Army Joining Protests
World Threats/Ha’aretz ^ | 1/29/11

Posted on Saturday, January 29, 2011 12:12:28 PM by therightliveswithus

There is now word that elements of the Egyptian army are joining the protesters on the streets of Cairo. This report comes from the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, which says that members of the armed forces are taking off their helmets and joining in the protests.

The military officers removed their helmets as they were hoisted up by the crowd in ecstasy. The masses gathered at the square singing, praying and chanting that they will not cease their protest until Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigns.

If this starts with the overall military, it is the end of the Mubarak regime. The army locked down Tahrir (Liberation) Square in Cairo, which was the center of earlier protests. Now there are reports that Tahrir Square is mobbed by ten thousand rioters.
