Apparently Jihadis want to give Egypt a "face lift"

QUOTE=El Kabong;1111937]Can someone tell me the positives of this kind of hardcore Islam I mean what do they bring to the table? Really what do they do? They skew the words of the Q'uran and they oppress (at the very least) any nonbelievers. So how do these guys benefit society on the whole?

Any of my lefty friends care to answer that?[/QUOTE]

Lyle, you're right. I can't see any positives from this kind of hardcore religious fascism. None whatsoever.

That said, I can't see any positives from any kind of hardcore religious fascism, whether it be Christian fundamentalists in the UK or US, Hindu maniacs in India or whatever.

Any school of thought that wants to tell other people what to do, what to think and how to live their lives according to the wishes of a possibly non-existent deity is always open to abuse and has never helped anyone in human history, I would argue

That's all I ask for....it's a simple pragmatic answer
