I notice that the ‘protesters’ seem to be well-funded. Those signs are very ‘professional’.

I also notice the slogans: “Hamas will never rule Egypt” and “Egypt will never be Pakistan”. Perhaps they are very professional because Copts tend to go into business and engineering. Alexandria has a large Coptic population, and the slogans hardly look pro-Islamist. I think they are objecting to American policy for the same reason we object to American support of the “Arab Spring”.
