Thanks, Seaver, for reiterating that this is nonsense that some are spewing about this. There are some who would prefer to distract from the real issues by playing up the influence of "Islamists" as a global menace where there is little to be concerned about. It's nothing short of propaganda.

Honestly who would want to throw their support behind Mubarak at this point?

The video is disgusting and alarming. I wasn't disgusted or alarmed this much since that Beck video I watched where he says the world is catching on fire.
