Remember the recent riots by religious Sunnis, ironically, against the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt because they were getting too chummy with the psychos running Iran? It seems the schism remains intact as a result.

Egypt has decided to suspend flights from Iran until mid-June as it re-evaluates its recent decision to allow tourists from the predominantly Shiite nation to visit largely Sunni Egypt.
The first direct flight between the two nations in decades took off March 30, soon after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Egypt in February — a development that some Egyptians, primarily Sunnis, found distressing.
For your viewing pleasure, Magic Marty has sent us a video of a Shiite ritual taking place in Cairo. Hopefully this will anger the ‘Salafists’ enough to take real action against the IRI!
