I recall the March school fire and barbaric response of the officials: if that wouldn't cause a riot Anywhere, then -- what would it take? Ashton
Post #47,404 by ChrisR 7/29/02 6:52:35 PM Reply	Mostly anti-jewish protests.... ...but the thing I think the author of the original article got wrong is that the protests related to fire come from the "liberal" movement (the reason for the deaths was blamed on the absolute adherence to the conservative push for what women must wear). It's pretty well known that the Arab masses (in both Saudi Arabia and Egypt) are unified on only a single issue - their seeming hatred of Israel. I don't think the author understands the difference between the protests over the fire and those related to Palestine.
