Yeah what steve said happened before at one of the pyramids during the late 90's.
Egypt is supposed to be the birthplace of the Islamist movement.
As volourn said - this type of stuff has been happening everywhere for a long time, i think maybe the general public's perception of events has been skewed by selective media coverage.
My prediction for this thread: this thread is going to be one of those classic internet flame wars - ad hominem attacks, doves v hawks, liberals v conservatives, stupid ppl vs less stupid ppl. Enjoy!!
