Egypt

Mubarak was a dictator who crushed Egyptian freedom.

Egyptians fought to get rid of him - and then elected the Muslim Brotherhood to crush Egyptian freedom.

The MB was overthrown, not by a liberal democracy, but by another dictatorship.

Egyptians, it seems, want to be oppressed. And they want to oppress minorities. They do not want a liberal government that would tolerate Christians, apostates, atheists, gays, liberated women and liberal Muslims. The Egyptian people are a disgrace. Shame on them.

A time when only rural peasants wore headscarfs.
See here how, over time, Egyptian women have been forced into Islamic dress. And here.

"Tamarai" club event at Ain Sukhna, Egypt, 2013. These are Egyptians, not tourists.
There is a thriving westernised liberal scene in Egypt.
The government of Egypt, the mosques, and the majority of the population may be hostile to it, but often it seems it is remarkably left alone.






The Egyptian Revolution




"this will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Tartar massacre or the Crusader wars."
- Egyptian Azzam Pasha, first Secretary General of the Arab League, in 1947, on the coming war against Israel.

"[If war comes] it will be total and the objective will be to destroy Israel."
- Egyptian President Nasser on the war against Israel in 1967.

"The Copts have always picked a fight. They always say we are the real owners of this land. ... They want to twist the military rulers' arms so they can get more churches. Why aren't they happy with the churches they've got?"
- An Egyptian Muslim woman, Oct 2011, sums up the unthinking oppression of the dhimmi in the Islamic world. She thinks Christians should have to get permission from the Islamic state to build churches. And if the bigoted, anti-Christian, Islamic state thinks they have enough, they should be happy with that.

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on Twitter by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on Twitter.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on Twitter.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on Twitter at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter seems to be saved.
