DH was due to take off 30 mins ago.
He rescheduled.
Thank God, because they have announced a curfew and the army is being called to the streets as the Police can't contain the situation. Mohammed Elbaradei has been arrested and Ayman Nour is in Intensive Care in hospital after he was pelted in the back of the head with a rock while praying today.
This situation today is potentially world altering. Egypt will never be the same again.
Apparently as the muslims formed a human shield at Christmas in Alex to protect the Christians going to Mass, the Christians protected the muslims who knelt down to pray today in the face of the Special Forces police.
This could be the tipping point where the oppressive regimes all fall like dominoes and one by one the oppressed countries are granted their freedom. Once that happens it'll de-fuel the fanatics, it ought to relieve pressure and aid inter-faith tolerance.... The oppressed will turn their hatred on those that have caused the suffering and not those who don't share the same religious beliefs. Up until now, the only place to be critical was of the other faith, to voice dissent of the authorities, could result in detention, police beatings or worse.
These events could just about end radical islam, it could even enable a movement toward female equality.
If Egyptians can do this (knowing them as I do) then literally nothing is impossible.
We are literally watching the death of the old guard and the birth of freedom in countries where it's not been allowed for decades.
I'll be willing to bet that there is not a President not Head of State in the ME region that will sleep too well tonight... They'll be crapping themselves!
