Flashermac Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 So just who are the murderous loonies trying to kill this time? Most of the victims appear to have been Muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Flash, I don't think they really care about who they kill... remember the Muslims believe in the 10 commandments too? Even the killing one.. These guys are murderers, plain and simple after publicity/shock value. I'd guess the Egyptian govt pisses them off too.

Steve Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 The fundamentals there are also at odds with the Egpytian government. The fundamentals want a theocracy, the government sees that as an economic death knell for the country plus they lose power. The egyptians were known for coming down really hard on fundamentalists. This incident will stir that up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
