These three gentlemen from PJTV's Trifecta are completely wrong regarding the Egyptian uprising. The rioters in the streets of Cairo aren't clamoring for freedom as we know it, but for Egypt to be a more sharia compliant state. Polls reveal the overwhelming majority of Egyptians support stoning for adultery, chopping off the hands of thieves and the death penalty for muslims who convert to another religion. They also support islamists over modernists. It goes to show that even conservatives can be clueless. Whittle, Ott and Green need to wake up to the fact that not everyone around the world shares our values. I'm quite surprised at the naive idealism displayed by these three men, especially considering their otherwise intelligent take on all other issues.
