Socialism

In his latest attempt to prod me into action, Ali E sent me this link to a post from the Infidel Blogger Alliance. It’s a sad day when the opposition doesn’t have to reach anywhere for material, and this is such a day: while I haven’t independently confirmed the virulently anti-Jewish remarks of Egyptian TV host Sheikh Muhammad Sharaf ed-Din, I would not be at all surprised to find they were true. Anti-Jewish sentiment is so rampant in Egypt that using the word ‘rampant’ is almost redundant; it’s sufficient to say that anti-Jewish sentiment Is. With the exception of the rare self-educated individual, it’s difficult to find an Egyptian under the age of about sixty-five or seventy who does not openly pine for the days when Rommel sunned himself on the beaches of Alamein.
