Egypt security official: 3 tourists kidnapped in Sinai Feb 11, 2012
What has the 'Spring' brought Egypt so far? Multiple gang rapes on Tahir square, antisemitic language, assaults on Copts, a failed bond issue and a glooming lack of foreign currency. And foreigners have been kidnapped, now with a new episode:

EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma’an) -- Armed men kidnapped three Korean tourists and an Egyptian guide in St. Catherine in the southern Sinai on Friday, an Egyptian security official said.

Maj. Gen. Muhammad Najib, director of south Sinai security, said a group of armed Bedouins stopped a bus of Korean tourists and kidnapped three in addition to the guide in Wadi Firan area.

Security sources predicted that the kidnappers may be the same who kidnapped three Americans in order to negotiate releasing Bedouins imprisoned for weapons and drugs violations.

Say bye bye to tourism.

Egyptians didn't have a plan when they took to protesting. Currently the Mubarak government is ruling, but the Muslim Brotherhood will push them out. I bet Mubarak is looking real good to Egyptians right now and will look even better in the future. The devil you know, the devil you don't know. Welcome Egypt to the devil you don't know.

The US is threatening to hold back thei $1 billion in aid money. Well, it was bribe money. Keep Egypt docile where Israel is concerned. Most Americans are saying that the US needs to stop giving aid money to all countries that give no value to the US, which I agree with. Ron Paul is a firm believer that aid to all countries should stop. I would love to see him get the nomination, but it isn't going to happen. Apparently Egypt is saying they don't want the money, which would mean the end to the "peaceful understanding" Egypt had with Israel.

What would you expect in a country, where stuff like this is aired on TV:



http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/3306.htm

Muhammad Al-Mane'i, Sinai Bedouin: There was a time when they would bring us jeans. These pants used to have belts. If you looked at these belts from the front, you'd find a secret compartment, and when you opened it, you would find a magnet inside. When we asked what these magnets were, we were told that they cause sterility.



Interviewer: In other words, it causes infertility.



Muhammad Al-Mane'i: Exactly.



Interviewer: There was a time when these jeans with belts would invade us from Israel, and we used to take the magnets out and chuck them away.



[…]



Interviewer: Israeli products contain lethal poison. You might not feel this poison now, but you will in the future. Israel will remain an enemy lying in wait for Egypt, no matter what happens and regardless of the agreements, because Israel has its eye set on Egypt.

You really are incapable of a proper discussion aren't you? Of course any country that doesn't have anything nice to say about Israel must be full of lunatics. :shock: Then that would mean the world is made up of lunatics with the exception of the US where those nut jobs in Washington keep sending aid and seem to be the only country willing to protect Israel.

Damn, you are hopeless. :drunken: :drunken:

It's a claim that Israeli jeans invaded Egypt, that have a secret compartment that causes infertility. Who's the nutcase here? :-) :-) :-)
