Swords likely paid for by the US taxpayer.
12/19/12, "Fear keeps Egypt's Christians away from polls," AP, Assiut, Egypt
"A campaign of intimidation by Islamists left
most Christians in this southern Egyptian province too afraid to
participate in last week's referendum on an Islamist-drafted
constitution they deeply oppose, residents say. The disenfranchisement
is hiking Christians' worries over their future under empowered Muslim
conservatives.
Around a week before the vote, some 50,000
Islamists marched through the provincial capital, Assiut, chanting that
Egypt will be "Islamic, Islamic, despite the Christians." At their head
rode several bearded men on horseback with swords in scabbards on their
hips, evoking images of early Muslims conquering Christian Egypt in the
7th Century.
They made sure to go through mainly Christian
districts of the city, where residents, fearing attacks, shuttered down
their stores and stayed in their homes, witnesses said."...via Atlas Shrugs
