Two Must Read Posts on Egypt

1) Yesterday, I posted on the Sheikh of Al-Azhar’s Shake with Shimon Peres and the controversy it is arousing.  Read a good post by an Egyptian providing a better explanation of why this is something people in the region are angry about.

2)  Inanities has one of the best  posts I’ve ever read on Egypt.  Its ostensibly about the Cairo Film Festival but is really a critique of Egyptian society and its about as accurate as one can get.
