Rhetoric we have heard about iz laumic terrorists. a peaceful revolution. they were painting crosses and the crescent on their sunglasses. christians and muslims coming together. the protesters made a strong point that this is not in anyway a religious movement. this was about instituting real fundamental democracy. >> look, lets take the most democratic not israeli country in the middle east. they got democratic elections. where have they moved? they moved away from the united states. they are ...

Solidarity between christians and muslims where men held up crosses and copies of the koran at the same time. thats remarkable in a country where tensions exploded between muslims and the christian minority within the last month. we have people who have been putting out calligraphy using the same stones used for battle to protect this opposition anti-mubarak pro-democracy onclave in recent days. using those stones to make street art instead. another remarkable development. there are serious conc...
