Indeed it is, but the real problem in Egypt is those
fomenting and perpetrating the violence, and I find them
disgusting.

IN these days there are plenty of ways for one to learnwhat
he has in common with people of other faiths and cultures.
Just surf the internet, listen to shortwave radio, etc.
IT's all out there, and when broken down to its basics most
of us, be we Christian, Muslim, Hindu Jew Buddhist or
Atheist want, and need the same things.  But, this "our way
or no way" attitude which leads to events such as those
we're seeing in Egypt now has got to end.  Our world is much too small these
days to allow it to exist and spread.  THose who cannot learn to live and let
live a little should be
eliminated with extreme prejudice.

We've come a long way in the last half century toward
enabling man to understand his fellows, but regressive
elements such as Al Qaeda want to demonstrate the statement
of Einstein to the max.  IN short, Einstein stated that he
didn't know what weapons would be used in a third world war, but the fourth
would be fought with stones and clubs.  I
find it sickening that we have to share valuable food water
and oxygen with such creatures as the WAhhabis and the Al
Qaeda people.  IF the Muslim brotherhood will not
participate in a democratic process then they should be
eliminated, to the last man woman and child.  There is no
room on planet earth for the hard liners these days.

INdeed, but there are other ways to go about it.  The
sectarian violence we're seeing over there is inexcusable.

That sectarian violence is fomented, aided and abetted by
outsiders who want a modern day caliphate.  THey want to
turn back the clock at least a century or more.  THeir
worldview has no room for common cause, respect for others
with differing beliefs or anything else which resembles
civilization.  Since they will not conduct themselves in a
civilized manner we should do with them as we would a pack
of rabid dogs.
