[QUOTE]Originally posted by Auto Matic For The People: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by _Masrawi_: [qb] Of all the postings, I have to say that I found the ones questioning the cause of what happened to be the most insightful ... mainly because they attempted to address the root of the problem rather than use the opportunity to make political statements (not that i wouldn't love to make a few of my own). This isn't about police incompetence (which they are) or the average egyptian's aloofness and apathy (which they have become) nor is it about a government whose main concern is to stay in power (even if that in turn means letting the Egyptian people vent off their anger and frustration in unscrupulous ways) ... this is about the deterioration of the ethics of the middle class Egyptian male to a new low. It's no secret that these values have been deteriorating for awhile, but for it to reach this level paints a very dim picture of what is yet to come. I also couldn't help but see the irony of the situation. Egyptians were, after all, celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan ... and how better way to celebrate it other than by ruining the 30 days of so-called fasting. What's even more ironic is that, in general, Egyptians are "supposedly" more religious today than they have ever been in the past 60 years at least. What does that tell us about the methods of teaching Islam deployed by our religious leaders nowadays? Are we perhaps stressing religious fundamentals and ignoring the essence of Islam? Ilmo3amla, ilmo3amla, ilmo3amla! [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not quite clear on where you believe the problem lies! Is it "the deterioration of the ethics of the middle class Egyptian male to a new low." ? [QUOTE]Originally posted by _Masrawi_: [qb] we need to start by holding ourselves responsible rather than laying the blame on others ... [/qb][/QUOTE]As trite as this statement is, I have to agree.
