For some reason the photos aren't uploading tonight on Blogger. I'll try again on Tuesday. Life in Egypt passed by without excitement and that is the best thing that one can hope for over here. Today's front page news announced that the Minister of Information was going to ban all foreign newpapers with anti-Islamic content into Egypt. so far three papers have been banned, one each from Germany, France, and Britian.
Also on the front page was the news that an Islamic philospophy professor who has been living in exile since 1993, is once again the target of the Islamic clerics' ire. The professor's words may or may not have compared the Quran text to a supermarket where people can pick and choose what they want to follow or not. We don't know if this is what he really said but the main cleric is making a deal of it and admitting that he doesn't know if the words are true or not.
And an Egptian actress slashed her wrists in a suicide attempt after her television series which was Ramadan specific was not picked up as part of the viewing schedule.
Other front page news included nukes for Egypt, Bin Laden probably not dead, the Gaza crossing stayed open for a second day, and Egyptian stock is down at the start of Ramadan.
