Egypt heightens security measures nationwide ahead of Christmas, New Year Eve

[AlAhram] Security directorates deployed security in main streets and houses of worship to maintain security and respond promptly and decisively to those who attempt to disturb celebrations.

Coptic Egyptians, who make up 90 percent of all Christians in the country, celebrate Christmas on 7 January.

Egypt is also home to a number of other denominations which observe Christmas on 25 December.

#1 I hear that the Egyptians will have an armored D-9 bulldozer "rodeo" as part of the celebrations.

As Ex-President Obama said, several generation of "American" military instructors who must have bitched endlessly about U.S. politics while still being "American", seem to have had a beneficial effect on the Egyptian Army behaving like a real "national" army instead of a klan/tribal group of enforcers.

I will probably not live long enough to hear what went on before the Muslim Brotherhood [Them's who put Fascism in Islamo/Fascism, as if Mo's theology needed any help.] got used to re-surface the roads and streets of Egypt. [Work together or hang separately?] Egypt is still dealing with corruption and desert wackos but they avoided the modern version of the 1930s destruction of Germany by Adolf, Inc.

Way Cool, Army!
