Re: So... Egypt...
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23256937Egypt's prosecutor's office has ordered the arrest of the leader of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement, Mohammed Badie, state media report. Mr Badie is accused of inciting the violence in Cairo on Monday in which at least 51 people were killed.
How's he going to sneer over his twapachino at the decadent west now?
