Barbarians at the Gate
(Front Page Magazine) Mark Tapson - Angry protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, tore down the American flag, and held up shredded bits of it to television camera crews. Welcome to the new democratic Egypt. Mohammed al-Zawahiri - the brother of al-Qaeda bigwig Ayman al-Zawahiri - asked: "How would the Americans feel if films insulting leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like Abraham Lincoln were produced?" The answer is that films insulting Christians and American historical figures are produced almost nonstop in the entertainment biz, and Americans don't form bloodthirsty mobs to storm Hollywood studios.
