Sunbathing in Alexandria may soon be a thing of the past, at least if some Egyptian Islamist politicians have their way. clearpxl

Egypt's tourism industry has suffered a severe blow since the outburst of anti-regime demonstrations in January. But that did not stop the Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, from demanding stricter regulations over what tourists can do and wear while visiting the country. The party is urging officials to ban skimpy swimwear and the consumption of alcohol on Egyptian street

Question: if the Egyptian muzzies decide to blow up the Pyramids like they did the buddhist carvings, will the West have the cojones to stop them?

"Killing tourists by the busload is next. Oh well Egypt, you got the change you wanted."

I wouldn't worry about that.
There won't many tourists visiting Egypt in the future because there won't be anything to see in Egypt. The Islamic fanatics now in charge there will be sure to destroy what is left of Egypt's past.

The liberal’s dream religion: “Other people/objects must be responsible for my lusts/drunkenness.”

Unfortunately, it is easier (and less convicting) to blame drunkeness on alcohol and lust on women’s clothing than it is to say, “Lord, I am a sinner. I confess (insert sin) “

Islam is a disease. Muslims are maniacs.

There is NO coexistence with them. Democracy and Freedom are concepts totally inimicable to them

“Unfortunately, it is easier (and less convicting) to blame drunkeness on alcohol and lust on women’s clothing than it is to say, “Lord, I am a sinner. I confess (insert sin)”

Yes, that’s true.

However, men being what they are, women parading their T&A around creates the near occasion of sin. We are bombarded by skin on all sides—see the hot bikini photo above—and that doesn’t make things any easier on men.

And no, before you start accusing me of siding with the mooselimbs and advocating burkas, I think the modesty of the American heartland during the 1950s would be completely appropriate and adequate.

“Killing tourists by the busload is next.”

They were doing that in the 80s, which is why I never took that trip down the Nile on a paddlewheeler. I still wish I had taken the chance.

Or this . Heck, even I find it offensive.

I think ridiculous is a more appropriate description.

I totally agree.

Not only are in a death struggle with a culture war with libs here in the U.S., we are locked in a culture war with these maniacs HERE and throughout the world.

That could be very dangerous to world peace, and to Israel.

I think it will be very dangerous to Egypt if they try anything against Israel.

Or will they repurpose them claiming that they are Islamic holy sites actually built by Mohammad?
