Once again, you’ve got to hand it to the Global Zionist Conspiracy for their thoroughness. First, they went after the fenugreek, and now, not even the Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific would be safe. “‘Mossad plotted to harm Egyptian fertility’,” by Roee Nahmias for YNet News, August 17 (thanks to all who sent this in): […]
Egypt’s double standard in Muslim and Christian abduction cases
The reason for this is simple: even though Egypt is not an Islamic state, it is rapidly Islamizing, and authorities don’t dare cross Islamic sensibilities.

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood warns military not to interfere in writing of new constitution
The Muslim Brotherhood knows the constitution is its golden ticket to achieving and maintaining power to the full extent that it intends. The Ikhwan was angered in June when Egypt’s interim prime minister suggested delaying elections in order to give groups other than the Brotherhood time to organize. They have already shown their willingness to […]
Egypt goes after “al-Qaeda-inspired” jihadists in Sinai peninsula
Al-Qaeda isn’t invited to the party: violent jihad in Egypt is reserved for Israel and Copts for now, and there is no need to foist Sharia on the country with outside influences when they’re doing it to themselves.

Egypt promises “anti-discrimination” law, but…
The generality of the language seems to leave plenty of loopholes for abuse or selective implementation. As was the case with the proposed law on places of worship, this law looks equitable on paper, but for practical purposes, it appears dismally short on substantive protections for non-Muslims. Indeed, the language of the law as quoted […]
Zawahiri accuses U.S. of “hijacking” Egyptian revolution
A reversal of rhetoric, but was the revolution hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists?

But it is noteworthy that Zawahiri is so disappointed […]
Egypt: Muslims attack Christian village after breaking Ramadan fast, target priest’s house first
Dinner first, then the violence. Post-revolutionary Egypt still employs Orwell-worthy “reconciliation sessions” to intimidate Christians into submission. “Muslims Attack Christian Village in Egypt — 1 Murdered, Homes Looted and Torched,” by Mary Abdelmassih for the Assyrian International News Agency, August 9: (AINA) — Muslims attacked Christians in the village of Nazlet Faragallah, in the southern […]
Spokesman of “moderate” and “largely secular” Muslim Brotherhood wants Mubarak’s hand amputated for theft according to Sharia
According to the Qur’an itself: “As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise” (5:38). The spokesman for the Brotherhood, a group called “largely secular” by Obama’s director of national intelligence, acknowledges they are Allah’s […]

Egypt’s Salafis: “We want an Islamic state like the one that was in the Middle Ages”
I tried to tell you. “Islamist factions jockey for power, vow religious rule,” by Betsy Hiel for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, July 31: CAIRO — If a new political force here has its way, public stonings, whippings and the lopping-off of hands will become the law in the Land of the Pharaohs. It all would help […]
