Thought of shedding some light on the situation in Egypt. It's quite sad and frightening to see what's happening in the country of such great civilization!
What do you guys think?

Ah, I was half hoping this would come up, half hoping it wouldn't. I'm Egyptian so I'm obviously biased, but I do think it's terrible. I just disagree with who the Western media is blaming. No, it wasn't the army/police forces that killed ALL those ___ protestors (numbers are debatable).

I'm not Egyptian but I admire the Egyptian civilization and Middle Eastern culture generally. The architecture, the art, the food, the music , the era of the Golden ages with so many remarkable scientists, the people. Really I find it so aesthetic! (You can sense I admire cultures and traditions lol)

I don't know I have Egyptian friends and they're quite torn in opinion too. Some share your opinion and others are totally blaming the army. But I'm interested, if you don't mind me asking, why do you think it's not the army/police that killed all those protesters and who do you think shared in the killing of those protesters?

Politics is complicated and it's hard to take sides in such a situation. However, i don't think that the army is at fault; it's their job to protect the country and keep it safe for all. Despite all the chaos that's going on, the army is trying their best to maintain security in the country.

The media always shows the "extreme" side of things and leaves the other important things out. I am sure many people who've been following the news might think that the army is the cause of all the trouble in Egypt, but if you really think about it, the army is just doing their job to maintain security and stability in the region.

It's very disappointing and sad to see Egypt go through all that. I just hope things get much better and the Egyptians can once again live in peace and harmony.

What kind of an army kills it's own citizens?

The Egypt today has nothing to do with ancient Egypt. The more chaos in middle east, the better it is for Israel.

Ah, I remember that. Good ol' American hypocrisy.



This is a video of police officers killed, rather, massacred in the most unimaginable way possible in Kerdasa police station. Please explain to me how the millitary could've possibly killed them.
