Confrontation between Muslims and secularists in Egypt today.

The thing i so love about Islam, is the nearly magical diversity of chants and liturgical music it inspires. In 1400 years they have managed to create so many inspirational chants and powerful and provocative hymns and invocations how can anyone not covert to Islam? Pretty much the sum total of these can be heard here in the first 10 seconds.

  2. @Eyore. The secular side’s vocabulary seems to far exceed the the 2-word vocab of the islamists. So I’ll side with what seem to be the real “rebels” in this dangerous fight.

  3. I’m cheering for the very brave secular dudes and gals in street clothes, not the bums in dirty nightshirts wearing stupid looking hats.
