Just remember we give Egypt a couple of BILLION dollars a year in aid; and they owe us billions more (most of which from time to time we ‘forgive’, meaning they don’t have to pay it back).
I think we ought to be able to express our disapproval of the persecution of the religion of a good number of our taxpayers, WHO JUST MIGHT DECIDE TO SEND THEIR MONEY ELSEWHERE if this doesn’t stop.
I doubt it, as much as it would be good. We can’t even get people to stop shopping at Chinamart.
Yes, I agree we shouldn’t be giving money or even doing business with a country that persecutes people of ANY religion. No more Egyptian-made towels and other goods. Hit them in the pocket-book.
“Gomaa’s comments were sharply criticized by Muslim conservatives, who said he was opening the door for Muslims to leave their faith.”
So what’s wrong with someone leaving a particular faith if they come to realize they don’t like it? People are wanting to leave the Muslim faith because they’re starting to see the light that it’s not all about love- as in loving even those who hate you- as Christianity teaches.
