re: #6 Buck

What do you suggest? If they are already being slaughtered, then why not do something that will get more attention.

Organize, coordinate with Copts in the West to build a narrative and get attention, demonstrate…I’m sure there are other better ways that activists are aware of. The assholes pulling this stunt live here in America where they’re safe.

Not that I think this was a good idea, or that the organizers had any idea it would explode the way it did, but if getting their story out was the plan, this has worked better than you might think. The world is watching Egypt now.

Really? Worked better for who—for the innocent people who could potentially lose their lives? How many of your family members would you be willing to sacrifice to get your story out if it was your community?
