Re: yer right minks

they do look like a buncha idiots

and they'll look even dumber once the automatic weapons fire commences

hey where's the burkas and pajamas?

yeah I think the Islamic presence there is only like lower 20%ages.

I have seen people knee jerking about them being Islamic.
They don't know much about Egypt apparently.

I believe many people there looked at Mubarak's relations with the Muslims grudgingly.

They don't know much about Egypt apparently.

and apparently they are not alone. hey i hear palin is looking for a running mate.

 

[catocom]

Palin/Daniels would solve our current issues & set the world right.

Iran 1970...

Iran 1974....

Iran today...

Give it time.

I did.
I don't think there are very accurate numbers.

Religion in Egypt controls many aspects of social life and is endorsed by law. The 2006 census counting method did not include religion, so the number of adherents of the different religions are usually rough estimates made by religious and non-governmental agencies.

Then they go on to spout percentages...

That may have been more true some years ago,
But what I've been seeing from the younger generation on social media sites
is something very different.

So, the fact is, a matter.

oh please.

Iran today...Give it time.

that 2nd chick on the bench is a cutie pie.

anyway, what makes you think the trajectory will go the same as it did in iran? because they's muslims? think there might be some differences between the two situations? where's ayatollah assahole-ah?

 

[catocom]

oh please.

oh yeah.

Some Will say "I'm muslim", or "I'm Christan", but far more
say "I'm Egyptian". They don't want any other affiliation.
They are quite proud about it.

well i'm glad someone here is an expert on egyptian identity constructs.

regardless, 90% of the population was born into islamic households.

Egypt

if they want to live in the 14th century
who are we to say they can't?

now that I won't really try to dispute, except I think it's more like 85-80,
then probably 90 on the gen before that.
Seems it's been dropping, and with the networking, fast.
I think that's part of the reason they cut the communications.

BTW, I'm not an expert on Egypt, but I am on people, and communication.

As I said Mr. Wizard, I'm hoping for the best. I hear people wanting a something good, it doesn't mean they will be able to get it. Achieving freedom takes whole lot more than burning cars and chanting.

With the the power vacuum I don't expect a group willing blow themselves up for an Islamic world is going to sit idle on on the sidelines and let such a large (islamic) nation develop on of their own accord.

I don't know how it's going to turn out in the long run. -- Stay tuned.
