When we think that it cannot get any worse in Egypt it sure does and more comic

1. Egyptian salafists just draped the statue of Zeus and the mermaids in downtown Alexandria in burqa and I'm not kidding you http://www.almasryalyoum.com/en/node/511759

It is just too funny and too bizarre

2. And speaking of Alexandria, the president of the Univeristy of Alexandria was a woman by the name of Hend Hanafi and she is a pediatrician too. She told who ever was listening that Copts that were injured during the recent atrocity and massacre of Copts in Cairo that they should be separated from Muslim patients! How stupid

What is most amazing that it was the doctors of Alexandria in the late antique period that used and it is still used to this day the Hippocratic oath that a doctor will help everyone on equal basis

Well the good news is Hend just lost her job because she was hired by Mubarak in 2009 and she was involved in shady affairs of dishing out degrees to ignorant researchers
