Coptic Christians chant slogans as they protest the recent attacks on Christians and churches in Egypt.
Two families, two bereavements, two narrow streets apart. In the northern Cairo suburb of Imbaba, the Christian Malek family and the Muslim Ramadan family followed near-identical rituals of mourning this week.
The menfolk sat separately, holding back tears, showing a family photograph, each of a cheerful young man with a slapstick sense of humour, and receiving the neighbours' visits of condolence.
At the Malek family's narrow, brick-and-concrete house, a priest with long black robe, black cap and flowing beard arrived to offer support. A hundred yards away an imam in a long white robe, white cap and flowing beard sat quietly in the Ramadans' cramped sitting room.
Both families were struggling to make sense of the violence that has swept over Egypt since February's revolution, most recently engulfing Imbaba in a sectarian riot that killed six Muslims and six Christians last weekend.
"They must have been brainwashed," said Radian Malek, 30, whose brother Ramy was shot through the forehead, of the mob that attacked his church, St Mena's. "They must have been lured by money to make problems between Muslims and Christians."

“They must have been lured by money to make problems between Muslims and Christians.”

My friends from Egypt tell me that this is a common thought. That is, both Copts and Muslims suspect that a lot of the violence is instigated by some Muslim groups (smaller than the MB) to create a diversion from what is “really going on”. To most Muslims, what is going on with the Christians irrelevant as they are such a small and powerless group.
After they slaughter the Christians, then comes the Jooooos.
Rubio is Hispanic and he’s good looking. In addition, he’ll have five years to fine tune his public speaking skills. Usually, the Governor has an advantage in running for President but that’s not the case when there’s a young and charismatic Senator running for President. (Obama and JFK)

Opps. Wrong thread.
gee, I’ll bet nobody saw that coming.
If Bush was still President, he’ll have provided support to enable Arab Strongmen to remain in power in countries such as Egypt and Tunisia.
at the very least, he would not have aided the muslim brotherhood
