some hypothetical questions:

was that revolution worth it? Is this the beginning of the end of Egypt as a free nation? Mountain out of a mole hill? Freedoms are usually taken away bit by bit, is this the start of an Islamic republic in Egypt?

Curious what you all think...

once you have read-

this portion says it all:
But bathing suits are not the only worry of Egypt’s Islamists. Abd Al-Munim A-Shahhat, a spokesman for the Salafi group Dawa, has said that Egypt's world-renowned pharaonic archeology – its pyramids, Sphinx and other monuments covered with un-Islamic imagery – should also be hidden from the public eye.

"The pharaonic culture is a rotten culture," A-Shahhat told the London-based Arabic daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat on Wednesday, saying the faces of ancient statues "should be covered with wax, since they are religiously forbidden." He likened the Egyptian relics to the idols which circled the walls of Mecca in pre-Islamic times.
Will this lead to the destruction of world/Egyptian treasures like they were destroyed in Afagistan (Bamiyan Buddahs)?

    The revolution in Egypt wasn't & isn't an Islamic revolution. It's a populist, secular revolution.

    I'm kind FOR that bathing suit ban... here in America. This weekend, I rode my Schwinn Cruiser to the Huntingon pier and saw a big fat hairy greasy old German tourist wearing a Speedo and Crocs. It was pretty horrifying.
