More sickening news

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Two suicide bombers on foot struck just outside a multinational peacekeeping forces base just south of the Rafa border crossing to Gaza on Wednesday.

 

At least one New Zealander and one Norwegian attached to the multinational force as well as two Egyptian policemen were wounded, security officials and Egypt's official news agency reported.

The attackers hit just two days after a triple bombing that killed 24 at Egypt's Sinai resort city of Dahah on the Gulf of Aqaba.

 

We are under siege by these illiterate inbreeds. All our progress; tourism, better freedoms, and our rising economy… impeded by these monkeys with down syndrome.

More Soon.

1 - I read your blog regularly for your good writing and astute insight regarding Middle Eastern news. However, something troubles me. Has been for a long time. I would like to ask why you compare these terrorists to "monkeys with down's syndrome." The monkey part is okay, it's the contempt and lack of compassion you show for people with down's syndrome that repulse me. You're not the only one. And I notice so many Middle Eastern bloggers use the word "retarded" as an insult. Is it a customary saying? Most people with "down's syndrome" have good hearts without malice or cruelty. They're loving and child-like, and don't deserve this kind of denigration. I would really like to know why you used "down's syndrome" as part of an insult. (Comment this)

2 - Yeah, you are right and I am very sorry, that was in bad taste. I noticed it later and figured it was not very PC but I have this self rule of not altering after it’s published. I was in a blind rage when I wrote that; certainly not one of my most eloquent moments. (Comment this)

3 - The Egyptians have really been hit hard lately, the ferry disaster, the thing in Alexandria, now this.

I'm very sorry for all the trouble and loss. I hope too that all people come to see that these terrorists don't just threaten the West, they threaten everybody. I think it's hard for people to accept that something they believe is clean and pure, their religion, could be so distorted. It happened in Christianity, maybe other religions too, I don't know. (Comment this)

4 - I want to ask how you know they are inbreeds?
Not really that important, the important thing is, how many of these gits are there lurking around?
The problem lies in the fertile ground that clerics & religious scholars created, once this ideology is reversed, i am sure very few will attempt to blow up themselves in this heinous way. (Comment this)
