Red Sea attacks fuel Egyptian debate on Islam

In remarkably frank soul-searching, some call for religious reforms

“There is no use denying. ... We incited the crime of Sharm el-Sheik,” ran a bold red headline of a lead editorial Wednesday by Al-Musawwar’s editor in chief, Abdel-Qader Shohaib.

The bombers “didn’t just conjure up in our midst suddenly, they are a product of a society that produces extremist fossilized minds that are easy to be controlled,” Shohaib wrote.

In Al-Ahram, columnist Ahmed Abdel Moeti Hegazi wrote: “This is not just deviation, it is a culture,”

Hegazi said he went to one mosque after the July 7 London bombings and the slaying of the Egyptian diplomat but the preacher made no mention of either attack. Instead, he denounced women wearing bathing suits.

Maybe one of the Northern Territories (Kuriles)? Would have kept the Russians from invading them after the Japanese capitulation!

Japan has some small islands off of Tokyo with populations around 10,000. Why didn't we nuke one of them and accomplish the same thing?

The atomic bomb was being compared to the conventional bombing of Dresden to see if it was really worth the money and effort.
