I doubt very much whether Waco or Ruby Ridge would have been scandals but for the fact that women and young children were killed. If the only people killed by BATF were armed men during armed confrontations, we'd have forgotten about the incidents long ago. JMO.

I agree of course.

Eygpt has gone out of it's way to promote the tourist trade, which it sees as an important source of foreign revenue. Lets face it, they have the goods for tourism. They take a firm exception to those who might harm this trade.

Since 911, you can get a real good deal on a vacation there along with 5 star hotels.

The Takfir's have drawn a new dimension in nutball vector space. Amazing when you have extremists denouncing another sect for "extremism"!!
