Some seem to not have noticed (or choose not to notice) that Muslims, Christians, and atheists are united in this protest for freedom.

No, you are mistaken. I stated "its the western MSM who are focusing on this group".
Lately, I've been watching RT News and Al Jazeera (English), much more balanced news. But in this case, I have even noticed that fact (MB not seeking power) on either BBC or CNN.
Yeah, they do sound like wonderful people. BTW, what is wrong with saying “the people should be prepared for war against Israel”. You do know that Israel has a habit of attacking its neighbors, so they should be prepared. They have NOT said “the people should be prepared to attack Israel”.

You are mistaken, they have. Its all over the news.
Yeah this typical zionist paranoia/propaganda does indeed catch most Americans' attention. But how can you talk about religious extremism when its clear that this protest is made up of Muslims, Christians, and atheists working together to free their country.
Last week, Mubarak's thugs attacked the protesters during prayer. Now we have Christians surrounding and protecting the Muslims during their prayer sessions.
And we have thousands of Muslims joining the Christians' Sunday Mass.
“In the name of Jesus and Muhammad we unify our ranks,” Father Ihab al-Kharat said in his sermon. “We will keep protesting until the fall of the tyranny.”
May God bless the Egyptian people.

The Muslim Brotherhood themselves claim to not seek power, and the Egyptian people do not seem to consider them such a big influence. Its the western MSM who are focusing on this group. I wonder why. To give them more credibility? To scare the west? Who knows?

You have a point. Most countries do not, but Iran often shows compassion, as with this one spy. And the US generally releases Israeli spies in secret, without bail.
How about those Russian spies that got caught in the US, they're free, aren't they?

From the article:
"[Anne-Marie Revcolevschi, head of the Aladdin Project] noted the participation of Karim Lahidji, the head of the Iranian League of Human Rights and a former top lawyer in Tehran, saying: “No one will miss out on how his presence is important.”
See, Iran does not "deny the holocaust", they just want to be able to discuss it freely.

So, what makes you so sure? I thought this was a closed-door court session!

We don't need spies for that. Iran signed the NPT and their facilities are open to inspections by the IAEA. Spies are needed in "countries" that are not as open as Iran.
At least these spies were caught in Iran.

They certainly did. Many refused to go, but plenty of speakers at the conference were presenting the official version. I know this goes against the MSM portrayal of the conference; they prefer to focus on David Duke's attendance or Ahmadinejad's mistranslations.
Anyway, open discussion of this and other historical events is the only sane way to move on.

Hmmm, you do have a point. Real spies would get a spying visa and enter as a legitimate spy.
Yeah, North Korea is also said to be beautiful.

They are certainly more critical of Israel, which unfortunately is counted as antisemitism by certain groups when compiling statistics.
No, they simply permit open discussion of the subject. Their holocaust conference included speakers from both sides.

No.
I find their excuse very hard to believe: "They claim they were hiking in Iraq’s Kurdistan region and that if they crossed into Iran it was inadvertent."

Absolutely right. Obama sounds better and says different things, but his actions are just as bad.

Bush is not welcomed by Europeans, or actually by most of the world. Only groups like the United Israel Appeal enjoy his presence; I wonder why!

I don't think Bush will visit Europe much due to the protests and the risk of him being arrested and charge for war crimes.

No, those are the views of most of humanity.
Anyway, this protest is largely secular. They have the universal desire to be free.

What they should do is end the FED and the wars, and bring all their troops home, where they belong.
Anything else is just cosmetic.

I for one have long been critical of the puppet dictator Mubarak.

northlondon,
The peace treaty is still in effect, no? Search the net, and you will find many pictures of a smiling Mubarak with Netenyahoo or Olmert. Why do you think Egypt receives so much aid from the US. Mubarak is very much pro-Israeli, hopefully that will change soon enough.
I criticized the current Egyptian ballot system. I don't support disorder, but I do support real democracy; sometimes you need a revolution to get that. I take it you do not support real democracy; you seem to expect citizens to shut up and put up with whatever their leader gives them.
