A sane voice in Egypt

Yesterday, one of the resorts on Egypt's Red Sea coast was the latest victim of Islamic fanatics. Suicide bombers attacked a hotel there and killed from 20 to 100 people. The news still is being sorted out.

Some of my favorite bloggers are Egyptian. They are even muslim. But they hate the insanity that seems to be gripping their country, driving people to murder in the name of God.

One of the blogger's I follow is MindBleed. He has a post that I think is worth reading that he wrote after the guy went on a stabbing rampage at some Alexandria Christian churches a couple of weeks ago. In particular, this paragraph I think sums up his point better than anything I could hope to write.
Violent Muslims, loonies, terrorists, fundies, whatever you want to call them, are the most selfish creatures ever created on God’s earth. They are willing to inflict pain and suffering on fellow man and beast only to get some cheap gate pass to Heaven. Instead of toiling at ‘life’ like the rest of us sorry fucks, these idiots think they can hop onto the superhighway to heaven by chopping other people’s heads off and pointing to God and saying ‘gimme gimme.’
