Not to burst your bubble Darrin, but individual (cherry picked) class photo's of a university that has 200,000 students, isn't very proper.

Can we stick to better data?

[Spurminator]

Looks like more women are getting a college education in Egypt these days.

Great news! Thanks for posting.

Would the first photo be considered porn in 2011 Cairo?


I see a few pairs of ankles and at least one knee.

I would say if we went by just those photos, we could conclude that their religious influence changed over the years as well as them developing better equality.

Remember Darrin, I am not as partisan as people think. I prefer things to be portrayed in a more honest manner. In this case, my assumption is that you are attempting to show the spread of Muslim influence. That may or may not be true. A photo of 50 or so students is well under 1% of the student body. 1% of the student body would be about 2,000 students.

As I understand the facts, the Muslim influence is in fact the cause of the current crisis. Hidden as less radical causes. However, attempts to show that which are inaccurate do damage to the truth rather than show it.

Decades of repression, official corruption and US assistance seems to have done wonders for the legitimacy of political Islam in Egypt. Go figure.

I just knew WE were, in some way, responsible.

[ChumpDumper]

The trend is Darrin is an idiot.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Darrin is an idiot.

I think you are doing a disservice to idiots everywhere when you compare darrins to an idiot.

[jack sommerset]

Those ladies don't want to get raped.

[ChumpDumper]

Darrin, where are the other roughly 50,000 graduates from 2004?

Let us know what they were all wearing, since this is so important to you.

[Winehole23]

I just knew WE were, in some way, responsible.There's lots of moving parts, but yeah, we supported Mubarak and before him Sadat. I suppose that had nothing to do with it.

I know complexity isn't really your thing, but there's a lot of ground between "oooga-booga" and "it's all our fault." You should investigate the middle you almost invariably exclude, between the kneejerk extremes.

[ChumpDumper]

Darrin says Laura Bush is a Islamist terrorist:

Darrin says be ignorant and afraid because he is ignorant and afraid.

If I had a picture of 50,000 people, you wouldn't be able to discern what they are wearing. But, you're smart, so I know you already knew this.

I'm sorry that you think my posting four photos was a kneejerk extreme.

No one, idiot.

Do you disagree that Egypt has become more "Ismamified" in the last 50 years?


Your insults are lame, btw.

[ChumpDumper]

Do you disagree that Egypt has become more "Ismamified" in the last 50 years?What do you mean by that?

Be specific.



Your insults are lame, btw.Your threads are lame, whiny cunt.

[DarrinS]

Your threads are lame, whiny cunt.

Assuming it has been, do you have a further point to make?

[ChumpDumper]

Assuming it has been, do you have a further point to make?I notice a trend that Darrin pulls threads and articles and statements out of his ass and runs away when asked to explain himself.

[Winehole23]

I'm sorry that you think my posting four photos was a kneejerk extreme.Swing and a miss. It was your moronically simpleminded inference.

[RandomGuy]

the trend is darrin is an idiot.

snap!

Are women forced to wear the veil in Egypt? It appears there are plenty of women in that 2004 photo without a veil.

I wonder if they were forced to wear skirts in 1959.

No one said anything about them being "forced" to wear anything.

[DarrinS]

No. I just thought they were interesting.

k, that's why I asked. I haven't looked anything up.

I'm not sure what the trend or the point is here other than veils being the fashion statement for some women in 2004.

[Winehole23]

No. I just thought they were interesting.Uh huh. What's so interesting?

[mookie2001]

muslims are scary!

[Blake]

muslims are scary!

they are to Darrin.

[Spurminator]

Apparently not as scary as offering his own follow-up discussion in defense of his thread topics.

Maybe he's waiting for a follow-up from the blog he took this from?

[jack sommerset]

muslims are scary!

More like creepy and stupid.

[Spurminator]

Look at that Muslim desecrating the Christian cross!

Apparently not as scary as offering his own follow-up discussion in defense of his thread topics. Darrin likes to spread propaganda. Defending it really isn't his forte.

I was reading the responses at pajama media where the pics are from. Someone was blaming president eisenhower and his handling of the suez canal as the reason for the "trend".

lol

So are the great majority of right wing christians that I've met in my life

[LnGrrrR]

That's like noticing the sun comes up each morning. :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Oh. I thought you had an actual point.

I guess since we're not making points, check out this image.

[coyotes_geek]

No. I just thought they were interesting.

I suppose you could find it interesting if you happen to be someone who likes to wear the same clothes your grandparents did when they were your age. Other than that, I don't see how graduates in 2004 dressing differently than those who graduated 45 years earlier is all that noteworthy.

[Winehole23]

(It's also absurd for DarrinS to pretend he doesn't know what he means by his own rhetorical question.)

[Winehole23]

The trend of his own posting gives the lie to his weak rhetorical gambit.

As long as we're posting interesting things,
