This is the Egypt where the toppling of the pro-American, pro-peace Mubarak regime was celebrated by the rape of CBS correspondent Lara Logan amid the familiar chants of “Allahu Akbar!” The same Egypt where, just a few weeks ago, Islamist factions wiped out the proponents of democracy by a whopping 78–22 margin in a referendum on the formation of a new government.
See what he did there you guise? Mubarak was pro-American (synonymous with goodness) and pro-peace, while the Muslims who overthrew him were rapists duh. Also, the referendum was not about “the formation of a new government” but, hey, never let things like reality get in the way of your determined metanarrative. Or the Islamists win.
I’ve been unable to comment on the events in Imbaba because the whole thing is personally devastating to me.
