1. Sinai travel
Get Real ,   UK   (05.06.13)
So what has Egypt offered the terrorist groups in exchange? Less controls and monitoring of their activities in Sinai and along the Israeli border? The UK FCO has strongly advised of the risks and against travel to Sinai.
2. By all means....
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (05.06.13)
Visit Egypt...drink and wear bikinis...so thousands of horny Egyptian Muslim Fanatics can fondle your privates and rape you.
3. Chortle!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.06.13)
No one is traveling to Egypt. And it has nothing to do with bikinis, Face it -- Egypt is a dead, rotting piece of offal. Transit through the Suez Canal is down 85 percent, and dwindling more each month. Yes, I watch these things. Good luck, Egypt. You are in desperate need of it. You're about to disappear into the desert. Good riddance.

Cameron ,   USA   (05.06.13)
The MB defeated by scantily clad women and liquor. Snort.
7. Europeans don't like to wear bikinis
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (05.06.13)
they prefer to remove them.
8. @5 Islam, not Arab
David N. ,   Haifa, ISRAEL   (05.06.13)
The issue is Islam, not Arabs. Most Muslims are not even Arabs. Even many Arabs are non-Arab peoples who have been subjected to Arabian colonialism and imperialism. But, true enough, if the desire for tourist revenue can override the One True Eternal Faith, then that's a pretty sorry bunch of adherents.

10. ask the Breslov hasidim...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (05.06.13)
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists can asked the Breslov Hasidim to send them their leaflet about "the special stickers to prevent looking to and seeing forbidden sights", amen.
11. I prefer Hawaii
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (05.06.13)
Nice people beautiful scenes and PEACE!!! Egypt? LOL no way. They can keep their camels and BS.
12. Hisham Zaazou a zazou?
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (05.06.13)
Maybe Hisham Zaazou, without that he himself is aware of it, is a reincarnation of a zazou, members of the famous zazous, an anti-Nazi subculture in France and Belgium during World War II.
13. Mullahs & Money
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (05.07.13)
It is so funny to read this. Our family business was banned in Iran because advertising was considered a sin by the mullahs 20 years ago. Now, you see advertising everywhere in Iran. Mullahs change the laws however they see it fit. Back in the days, British were producing sugar cubes in Iran. Mullahs banned people from uconsuming it since Brits were not paying them enough bribes. They banned it and said the sugar was "haram" if it is made by British. After the bribes were completed then the clerics announced a new fatwa or rule. If you deep the sugar cube in the tea then it is not "haram" anymore. That is why we deep the sugar in the tea before drinking it now. That is how the mullahs got their share of profit of the sugar.
14. Come to Bavaria...the wimps living here
