Egyptian security officials reported a Bedouin man shot and killed a French tourist Saturday in the Sinai, in an apparent act of retribution after clashes with police.

According to the online Egyptian Independent, Alexander Crister, 42, suffered multiple gunshot wounds after a man, distraught over the death of his relative in an anti-drugs raid, opened fire at random toward tourists.

Yousef Abu Khashm died and three policemen sustained injuries in a series of raids on areas suspected to be linked with the narcotics trade in Hay Bader, Toshky and al-Tour, the police confirmed.

The wounded police officers were identified as Mohammad Basioni, 30, Ahmad Hassan, 23, and Saad Muhammad. An unspecified number of suspects were arrested in the raids. .....

Outraged Frenchmen all over Paris rioted, beating Bedouins over the head with baguettes and splashing wine in their faces as they attempted to go about their business herding sheep down the Champs Elysees.

Well, all seriousness aside, can’t imagine what would posess anyone to tour the Middle East with all these beasts roaming about.

First thing that popped into my head too.

Let's be clear. This happened in Islamic Egypt.

Israel is in the Middle East too, and it is quite safe there so long as you don't show up wearing a bomb belt.

The coral reefs are, or used to be, the main Sinai attractions.

Vacation in Egypt....Hmmmm....let me think..... Ummmmmm.... NO THANKS!!

Islam had nothing to do with this, lack of law and order
and Bedu culture has everything to do with it.

That area is a smuggling corridor and going there
without any idea of who is around is shockingly dumb.

There are Bedouins in Israel too. My experience is that if you show up unannounced at one of their tents, they serve you tea.

Last Sunday’s NYT magazine had a full page ad for Egyptian tourism that featured a pyramid shaped crossword puzzle with many distinctly un-Islamic clues and answers. Obviously they’re worried about sagging tourism, but I don’t think the ad will help.

He must have believed all the hype about the piece-loving religion of piece.

Vikings used to sack, rape and pillage all over Europe. Then they became Christians and stopped. Bedouins are devout Muslims, and also murder, sack, rape and pillage whenever the opportunity presents.

Gotta be the Jews’ fault. Thanks Eleutheria5.

People are stupid, ignorant and smug. They depend on the media and don't think rationally about anything they are not experts in. (This includes Republicans, who should know that the media is the enemy.) Europeans are taught to listen to their betters from day 1. The media tells that Muslims are good and that the Arab Spring was a secular revolt. If anyone says otherwise, they are called racist. And people have terrible to censor their own thoughts because they don't want to say the wrong thing.

You do realise the murder rate here is higher than than all middle eastern countries. The highest are south american,eastern european and southern and central african countries. I have visited Egypt, to see the pyramids, and they had nice resorts along the red sea aswell.
