What do Egyptians want? I'm not even sure they even know.

Today is the day that the Iranian President Ahmednijad visits Egypt for the first time in decades since Egypt and Iran cut ties in 1979 after the Iranian Revolution. As a Muslim(I'm Sunni by definition but only Muslim at heart. I hold no resentment towards the different sects of Islam.) I am proud to see that Muslims are finally mending their relations with one another BUT the question is this, WHY? There are no actions taken by politicians without reason. So what is the reason behind this visit to Egypt? then for Iran to offer billions in aid to Egypt...why? Too many why's and the answers are unclear.

This morning started off pretty quiet as I took my daily ride of with "Mosh Pit of Rhinos". Then the Rhinos started to get rowdy as usual. So I decided to listen in on the raucous. I was amazed to hear the opinions of the benighted female species that rove in this vast desert. The voices were very stentorian to say the least. Amongst these brash women was one that was more impertinent than the others. Her opinions ranged from how President Mursi wasn't up to her standards and that how DARE he allow the Iranian President to visit.  First of all, why do Egyptians hate the Iranians? I asked and the answer is simply "because they're shiite" Ok, let's see, that's like Itlay refusing to join the European Union because not everyone in Europe is Roman Catholic. That's a frivolous reason to make an enemy. Yet according to them, it's justified racism and hatred. I don't get it and I simply don't care to understand the mentality. I am just a muslim and I will welcome any muslim Brother and Sister into my home without prejudice. This is what is islam is about, it's all about peace. Back to the brash woman...the others just chimed in without thought to the matter. Not to get into the nescient opinions, the conversation in it's entirety was enough to make any intellectual simply cringe. The entire conversation was about how the Egyptian people made a mistake by overthrowing former President Mubarak and how they regret the days of the prior revolution. As he would have NEVER allowed this Persian Shiite into their country..then the infamous statement of "If we only knew what we know now then" came into the conversation.  Well you keep asking Mursi to step down and then what? you have no plan to rule this country, you have no legitimate parties within the country, you have no idea what democracy is about? you are secular but have no idea what secular means?  What are you going to do? hate all your neighbors? Umm, they already do. They have berated everyone within a mile radius of them and everyone resents them for it. They have no tact none whatsoever. It's funny but I have to mention this as it's just killing me to share it. Egyptians are so arrogant about how they claim that they fed, clothed and educated the entire region in the past. In reality it was the Ottoman Empire that spread it's wealth but don't tell an Egyptian that...anyhow, how many donations has Egypt taken in the past 60 years? and how many in the past 60 days? it has begged and borrowed from almost everyone in the region. Karma is a wonderful thing..so who is feeding, clothing and educating you now? and they better not dare say that this charity they received is owed to them because then that will be outrageous! But then again the vast majority of the country is illiterate, the other bunch of them are simply living 'dazed and confused' as they roll their hash-joints on an hourly basis. Yes, this place is hash-den. So, let's see where does one begin with this place? or rather say, when does this chaos end? if ever...........

so the "Egyptian Saga" continues ......................
