Egypt court convicts food price protesters - 15 Dec 08

[sandjaq]

Unbelievable where you can see peoples brought to the court treated like rats in the cages not humain, this is Egypt where all Egyptians call it the mother of the world, in my eyes this mother must be very bad, we are living in 2009 and Egyptians are living in the 1930 peoples doesnt even have bread to eat it's very bad. Their government is dictatorship in Egypt 90% of the population from 80 million live under poverty I don't wish to anybody to experience it.

the movie should be named...egypt lost...or egypt died.

"I don't know how you figure the Iraq war is a crusade. How many news reports have you seen of us trying to convert any one?"

If you're serious then you've been living under a bubble, or have watched too much FOX it affected your rational thinking. America has been sending missionaries all over Africa to preach, handing poor people a Bible with every bag of wheat. As for reports, watch this one by German TV: Radical Christian Missionaries in Iraq

[PrecisionAfrikan]

Egypt NEEDS Revolution badly, yo. Mubarak been in power longer than I've been alive. It's past time for the people of Misr to take power over their lives from this dictator - Mubarak is one of the foulest leaders in Afrika (and most Afrikan and Mid-East prezidents are foul) and the whole 3rd world. Time for huriyah!

[FortoneND]

totally agree with ya on that

[MRCHAMP124]

Go Gypsy...you tell um. History is powerful.Each group has done things, even more every person has done things. I am a Sufi, I love the Jew,the Christain, the Hindi ,the Muslim. All are humans giving love to something outside of self. Joy to those who love the sinner and hate nothing but hate itself.

[desidesi21]

May justice prevail

[afrircans1970]

Actually this sort of thing happens in MOST Arab states, just the group size & publicity is here on this one. Try saying ANYTHING about the Kingdom in Saudi: you're dead!

I actually am surprised that this is news. What do they want, the freedom to descent? The right to free expression? Then they have to take a hard look at some things that challenge the very core of their systems.

You can kick the Western world (& USA) all you want but freedom of expression is not an area that is forbidden!

[johnh23]

Mubarak Jr. will be installed the day Mubarak Sr. departs, .... but because Sr. is such a health nut, I'd say he'll be around as Prez of Egypt for a long long time.

[GodKillerAtheist]

This is just going to start more riots.

He should have just gave them a fine.

Now I bet that judges life is in danger

[johnh23]

I agree .... far too harsh .... whats happened to the Mubarak regime?

[scotishjohn]

at least while they are at that the west is

getting a bit of peace

[misschocolatemiss]

i guess time to over throw another yet b.s government 3-5yrs for protesting wow thats sad

[Tobeheard]

Napoleon once said the only reason that the poor doesn't rise

up and destroy the rich (rulers/oppressors) is religion.

However, as hunger increases in the years to come from

further climatic changes, it is feared (by the Pentagon) that

war will break out all over. Until such time the poor will

continue to be victimized.

[rblwoaclu]

is there none to redeem us out of the hands of egypt?

[TaskiyahEmaani]

thats just disgusting, how on earth can they give someone such a jail sentance for simply protesting?

mubarak and washington can both go to hell

[osmanv8]

3-5 years prison for protesting injustice, wow.

[rachuk07]

kick mubarek out

[sana6]

Fucken Mubrak...that piece of shit. He has 1.3 million people workin for him in the minister of interior, that makes it 1 officer for every 30 Egyptian Citizens. This person is a dictator...a shame for all Arabs and Muslims. And yet America supports him by giving him 3 billion dollars a year to maitain his army. I hope that bastard rots in Hell....his presidency defeats the purpose of the revolution of the 6th of October

[TomMarAlem1987]

Correction akhi. America pays arms dealers 3 billion dollars a year, through Mubarak.

[misschocolatemiss]

you mean my tax money is going to that what hell..

[covertcovenant]

Yea, exactly! What the hell, US financial support for Mubarak, the dictator buddy, and his mercenary secret service that beats ordinary folks that want peace, opportunity and justice... It's high time for regime change in all Arab countries that are U.S. allies, because all those are dictatorships!

[blackxavior]

All Arab regimes are dictatorships because Islam so easily facilities that kind of government. US has supported Egypt for years its not our fault week minded Arabs can not defend there country from encroaching tyranny. So The US withdraws support from Egypt most of which is predicated on Egyptian peace deals with Israel. Then what, smart guy? You want the middle east more destabalized?

[covertcovenant]

You are not serious are you? You try to patronize me with your fox/cnn/nbc/pbs wits? Look buddy those good white/jewish friends of yours are not telling you the real deal on your local access channels, I suggest you do a little bit of reading, before trying to sound like one of those fraudulant CNN political/world affair analysts. Because frankly, this might work on Americans that don't know better, but not on those that do know better. My suggestion, read instead of watching the tube!

[blackxavior]

Your attacking my assumed sources and not my facts or perspectives proves that I am right. You look to have nothing but smokescreens and misdirection as allies.

[johnh23]

I disagree .... Islam is a superior civilizing force in the Arab world and the various forms of govt. in the 23 Arab countries are not totally devoid of any democratic institutions. You have Bush and your democracy ... whats really better?

[blackxavior]

Whats really better? Your kidding right? I swear something must have got into you Canadians water.

Okay here is one example. Egypt just sentenced people that where protesting high food prices to jail. Heard any thing like that happening in America? Or even in the western civilized world? What do i think is better? Most ridiculous question i have heard in years.

[johnh23]

What about 2 million Iraqis dead since 2003, ... thats something worth protesting. Yes its a very civilized thing this Iraqi 'war' Bush is #1

[blackxavior]

The largest majority of the deaths coming from Muslim on Muslim violence. After the US took over Germany, Japan, South Korea did they go crazy and start killing each other, no.

[gypsy8522]

You're a bigot racist anti-Muslim spewing hate monger. The largest majority of deaths coming from Muslims, really. So what do you suggest, wipe them out like you did with the Native Americans? How about enslaving them like the African Americans? Actually, I think the best thing to do would be to drop a nuclear bomb on them like the Japanese! Or maybe launch another Crusade against them like the Iraqis. Tell me, which is the most "civilized" way to finsh off those people? Idiot.

[blackxavior]

Islam is not a race quit trying to play the race card. Maybe you could use the Turks attempted genocide of the Armenians as your example of genocide. Or the enslavement of every different race creed color and religion during the muslim renaissance as your example. Or the millions that died because they fought Islam over the centuries instead on the nuke. Or maybe you could use the jihad that spread across the world predicated on Islam that did as much damage as any crusade.

[blackxavior]

I don't want to kill all Muslims. I just want the religion to become non political and grow up. Sort of like Christianity did.

[gypsy8522]

What are you talking about? Christianity didn't "grow up" it is diminishing in Europe. If you want to see radical political Christianity try visiting one of the US Midwestern or Southern states, it's still alive and well! And Bush's Crusade proves it!

[blackxavior]

that's what i mean grow up. When a region has power within the state it cause problems and holds the state back. Look at America we separated church and sate and where a super power in less that 150 years. By the separate we also strengthened religion by evidence of our Strong convictions that any one can worshop how they want and they do. I don't know how you figure the Iraq war is a crusade. How many news reports have you seen of us trying to convert any one?

[gypsy8522]

You need to quit trying to play the "civilized" card. What civilization?? I know the "Red" Indians had one, before they were all killed. Red, black, yellow, is there one race of people that you haven't learned to hate? Nothing has done more damage than the Crusades, a disgusting history that will never be forgotten. So quit pointing your dirty bloody finger at Muslims, you are far worse. I am so proud to be Muslim and haters like you make me even prouder!

[blackxavior]

Its funny how your so worried about Native Americans. I am 1/16 native American i guess i hate and genocidied myself. You are so hung up on the crusade because your culture has such a inferiority complex against the West. If the East was powerful you would be hung up on the Mongols that where the real destroyers of the Muslim golden age. The west is civilized that is why you can speak English your try to improve you life. Improvement only found in the civilized west.

[gypsy8522]

"The west is civilized that is why you can speak English your try to improve you life. Improvement only found in the civilized west"

blackxavior, the first step to becoming a global citizen is learning another language. I speak english so I can be able to communicate with ignorant monolingual hicks like yourself.

[blackxavior]

I'm not monolingual.

[blackxavior]

I was wondering if you where the 20 year old daughter offered by the Egyptian man to the reporter that threw his shoes at Bush. That's civilization for you, offering women like cattle. You proud to be cattle as well as Muslim?

[Saruman38]

@blackxavior I think you are.

[johnh23]

Salaam Alekoom ...Unfortunately Blackxavior is blindly misinformed ... and in denial about what the USA has done in Iraq.(2 million deaths) He could be a Blackwater dis-info man. Islam is a Faith of Peace. USA is a culture of war and destruction.

[johnh23]

You are full of Garbage, Lies and Hate Bro .... You sound like you have never travelled anywhere and your IQ is low ...90? the US average.

[blackxavior]

"lies and Garbage " that you can not disprove and only call hate. I can almost guarantee that i have been to more countries than you and probably more Muslim countries to. If my IQ is so low why can you only insult me and not refute my points?

[covertcovenant]

Right you are! I would be mad too if I paid taxes in the U.S.!

[javierenchina]
