The Uprising, the Treason and Israel

by SR Editor February 2, 2011

America and Israel are now contemplating the post-Mubarak scenario with fears that the shift of Egypt toward democracy and free elections would bring Islamists to power.

Egyptian Army Pledges Not to Resort to Violence [Satire]

by Mantiq al-Tayr February 1, 2011
