The bombing of Khan al Khalili is pretty crazy and apparently not done by any 'known groups.' Thus proving that there's no way to know everyone who might bomb you, even with us funding, so don't sell your civil rights for a false sense of security. The motivation was apparently the fact that egypt recognizes israel and is one of the only places in the region that shows support for israel over palestine. I generally support action over talk in provoking political change, but someone died and many were injured, none of which had anything to do with anything other than trying to buy stuff at a market. I went there pretty often during my stay and I hated it every time, but you shouldn't kill innocent people, that should go without saying. unfortunately, i guess you have to say it, Don't kill innocent people. ever. regardless of what god you believe in, that can't be acceptable. assuming human beings or their 'souls' are eternal by nature and there is any form of 'hell' you will spend it there. guess who doesn't have good jokes. henry kissenger. what is funny is picturing whoever did the bombing in a pit of black fire rubbing skeletal elbows with henry kissenger, someone who is of the jewish faith and outranks you in hell. i guess my idea of hell is more of a mel brooks/army of darkness scenario...
In positive news, one of the good friends i made while in cairo is an artist named nader. you might remember him from pictures of the 'white desert' where we went to get footage for some project he was doing. anyway, if you like art/metal, check this out:
