I posted it because it portends of some real crazee thinking going on over there.

There's so many interesting things about Egypt vs. "the terrorists." For instance, it's interesting that the Muslim Brotherhood is being hoist on its own petard of conspiracy theorizing, maybe never to recover. And how can potentates manipulate against other tribes when the tribe lines are no longer clear? Etc. etc...

Nuh-uh...American League v. National League (notwithstanding the abomination that is the designated hitter), that doesn't mean much operationally.

When you watch a procession of Shia men during Ashura, wailing for the loss of Hussein at Kerbala, and, not incidentally, whaling away on themselves with knotted ropes till they are not flesh but blood entirely, you are looking at some serious operational hostility.

It's a bullshit charge...ain't no Salafi spying for the Mullahs, and ain't no Ayotollah believing no Salafi.

On the face of it, this seems

On the face of it, this seems odd given the Sunni-Shia split.

But maybe these old categories--like communist and facist--don't mean much operationally.
