#1 Ahem. Not surprised. Recall that Eqyptian thinking is at the center of the whirlpool that is Islamic consciousness. They create all this idiotic philosophy the other camel herders follow. Remarkable how they accept gang rape in public and say and do nothing about it. I continue to say that the females who are oppressed by the dogma and insane actions of this cult are the dumbest on the planet. If they decide to stop this shit, they can. They will. But they have to want to. Except for isolated incidents/women, it's not happening.....yet.

#2 The women's issue aspect of this is critical. Bush understands that, but he has not made a sufficiently public issue of it. This would be an excellent place for him to start. Recall that it was the women who brought down the Argentine (or was it Chilean?) junta. But that was because they could march silently on their way home from church, as I recall. At this point any Muslim women who tried that would face da fate worse than death, apparently. And no one to record it. This is how these pond scum can be shown to the world for what they are. No ally, Mubarrak, Musharriff, Abdullah deserves a pass on this. Rice should be ashamed of herself for allopwing this to happen uncondemned.

#4 Mr. Wife has mentioned talking to the hotel maids in Cairo when he was there during Ramadan. The poor women couldn't sit down, their bottoms had been slapped and pinched so much by the Saudis, who were there where it was possible to have a whisky and watch the belly dancers while breaking the fast. I'm just surprised the women actually protested -- they are to be congratulated, even if it isn't being officially reported.

#5 Oh. I posted before reading, always a bad move. It's the men who were rioting and harrassing and raping, not the women, while the police stood by and refused to protect them. I suppose some Egyptian men think they're as good as the Saudis now.

#6 Festival! Festival!

Strangely enough, "The Return of the Archons" was the Star Trek episode I was watching when the crawl announcing 9/11 appeared on my TV screen. I've always figured there must be some Profound Meaning there, but I can never figure it out.

#7 bigjim-ky, that is an insult to the Renaissance. This is some dark-age devilery, IMHO.
