[...] By the way, a lot of weird stuff has been happening in Egypt lately. A young blogger named Kareem was arrested for “defaming the president of Egypt, incitement to overthrow the regime and incitement to hate Islam.” Activists were arrested and beaten for protesting an earlier sexual harrassment incident in downtown Cairo. Way to go Egypt! Maybe what we need is an “Egyptian Moses.” Let my people go! [...]
