With all due respect, women who are covered here do so by choice--and have plenty of rights. Some of the strongest women I've ever met in the world are Egyptian. i'm really tired of hearing people make statements about head covering being a sign of female oppression. Cairo is def dirty and loud but I love it all the same. Cats are everywhere, but I've never seen beheaded ones--perhaps she just happened upon an unfortunate anomaly in a city of 20 million. I would encourage you to ignore your sister and explore Egypt--it's a complex, fascinating beautiful country with some of the most wonderful people in the world. It should'nt be judged by a three day express tourist visit to the Pyramids. I would hate for America to be judged solely by a visit to one single crowded oppressive tourist site.

Muslims believe that it was Ishmael that Abraham was called to sacrifice. Cool trip LJ.

Eid is celebrated with the ritual slaughter of a cow or sheep as a reminder of the time that the prophet Abraham, who was prepared to sacrifice his own son, Issac, but instead sacrificed a lamb.

One correction. Muslims believe that it was Ishmael that Abraham was called to sacrifice.

My sister just returned from Eqypt and said she wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with it! She said the pyramids turn out to be not that great, the peddlers are ferocious, you really have to like women fully covered in black with no rights whatsoever (she's a doctor, so maybe the obvious degradation of women colored her view) and that the entire country is dirty and loud. Apparently, Eqyptians have no use for cats as she saw several beheaded cats alongside the road. This seems to be a way of life in this stone age country. She felt somewhat safe, but she emailed me that night and said flatly: "Don't go to Eqypt! Ever!" Interesting!

And who are these "those who think?" Its certainly not most people on this blog. I see mostly moderates around these parts. Or was your comment just a way to slam Larry Johnson? BTW, that 1.3 billion number is in dispute. You quote data with out any sources — hardly a way to prove your point. And who are these “those who think?”

To date, less than 1% of them are intent on doing us harm. I don't understand those who think it's somehow in our national security interest to piss off the other 99%. Wouldn't mind seeing the slide show, almost as good as Rick Steves. Thanks for reminding us there are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world. To date, less than 1% of them are intent on doing us harm.

Reading this felt like a mini-vacation. And, brought back memories of post college graduation trip to Europe (my first trip out of the country) via trains that also featured similar encounters with "sleeping compartments" and toilets that were nothing but a hole in the dirt enclosed by a shack. I'm still laughing over those times. Your pictures are wonderful! Travel safely! Thanks for sharing your great photos and stories. Reading this felt like a mini-vacation.
