Punked Muslim Style … Why Shows like “Punk’d” Not Such a Good Idea in the Arab World, Egyptian Actor Beats Female Host on Live TV

I am guessing that the TV show Candid Camera would have got Allen Funt killed had it been filmed in the Arab world.

WOW, talk about your unreal Reality TV … The following is an example of why shows like ‘Punked’ are probably not the best idea in the Arab world. An Egyptian actor loses his mind in a prank gone horribly wrong, then  beats a female host live on TV not realizing he is being “punked”. Good grief, it is a good thing the guy did not shot some one or cut someone’s head off. This is a must see.

Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

As reported at The Times of Israel, not such a good idea to punk and Egyptian with an Israel story line. I am not sure if the folks on the show understand the point of a punked show. Its not to espouse hate and nearly get some one killed. Who would have thought this would have gone horribly wrong? What’s next, Punk’d … Al Qaeda?

Two Egyptian actors, “pranked” by an Egyptian TV station over the weekend into thinking that they were being interviewed by Israeli TV, responded furiously onscreen. Both of them attacked a man they thought was the show’s Israeli producer, and one of them, Ayman Kandeel, smashed up the studio and slapped the female host he thought was Israeli so hard that she crumpled to the floor.

Kandeel also appeared to reach for a gun at one point, having earlier said he had one. But he didn’t pull one out, and later said he didn’t have a gun with him.

A third pranked guest, an actress, called all Israelis liars and denounced them for “whining about the Holocaust and its lousy figures.”

Egyptians Protesters Chant “Monica! Monica!” and Throw Tomotoes & Shoes at Motorcade As Sec of State Hillary Clinton Drives By (Video)

Oh that Obama Arab Spring … America, how’s that “Araby-Springy” thing working out for ya?

Didn’t the Egyptian protesters get the memo, Bill Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman, miss Lewinky, not a single time? I guess not. Egyptians Protesters chanted “Monica! Monica!” and threw tomatoes, shoes and bottles at the motorcade of Barack Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they drove by. Many in Egypt are protesting over the US government siding with the Muslim Brotherhood in the recent elections.

Protesters threw tomatoes and shoes at U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s motorcade on Sunday during her first visit to Egypt since the election of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi.

A tomato struck an Egyptian official in the face, and shoes and a water bottle landed near the armoured cars carrying Clinton’s delegation in the port city of Alexandria.

A senior state department official said that neither Clinton nor her vehicle, which were around the corner from the incident, were struck by any of the projectiles.

Protesters chanted: “Monica, Monica”, a reference to Former President Bill Clinton’s extra-marital affair. Some chanted: “leave, Clinton”, Egyptian security officials said.

Instapundit muses over the fact that the LEFT joked when one guy threw a shoe at former President George W. Bush, this must be so much more funny seeing that it was a massive crowd that did so and chanted as well. Hmm?

Prominent Christian Egyptians Snubbed Cairo Meeting with Obama Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, Claim US Backed Islamists Muslim Brotherhood

As reported at MSNBC, prominent Christian Egyptians snubbed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton because they claim that the Barack Obama administration favored the Muslim Brotherhood over other secular parties in Egypt. Honestly, can you blame them? As stated at Atlas Shrugs, “Why isn’t this splashed all over the Obama-media? No, the enemedia is too obsessed with the presidential year’s “Haliburton” ….Bain Capitol. How is the whole world know who and what Obama is, and the American people don’t?

Prominent Christian Egyptians snubbed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday because they feel the U.S. administration favors Islamist parties over secular and liberal forces in society at the expense of Egypt’s 8 million Christians.

The critical theme was repeated by others Sunday in Cairo and Alexandria despite Clinton denying U.S. interference in Egyptian elections.

The politicians, businessmen and clerics who snubbed Clinton were supposed to take part in meetings between Clinton and influential members of civil society.

Coptic Bishop Morcos and Evangelical church leader Safwat al Bayadi refused to meet with Clinton because of what they characterized as interference in Egyptian internal affairs and U.S. support for Islamists while ignoring the majority of Egyptians.

Two Americans Kidnapped in Egypt, Victims … Pastor Michel Louis, a Woman from Another Church Lisa Alphonse & Egyptian Tour Guide

Two Americans and an Egyptian tour guide have been kidnapped at gunpoint in the Sinai peninsula of Egypt.  The two American kidnapping victims are 61 year old Michel Louis, the pastor of the Free Pentecostal Church of God in Dorchester, MA in the Boston area and 39 year old Lisa Alphonse, a female member from another church that works closely with his father’s congregation. Pastor Louis was on his annual missionary trip  trip to Israel, however, this year he ventured into Egypt. The family claims that pastor Michel Louis was unaware of the dangers of this area even though there had been previous kidnappings as seen HERE and HERE.

An American pastor kidnapped in Egypt was not aware of the danger of traveling to the area, his son said Sunday.

Pastor Michel Louis, a woman from another church, and an Egyptian tour guide were taken off a bus on Friday, Louis’s son Jean told CNN’s Early Start Weekend show.

“As the tour bus was in area of the Sinai peninsula of Egypt, they were stopped by a couple of cars,” Jean Louis said he had heard from his mother, who was on the bus.

“In the cars were some gentlemen who got onto the bus. They detained both my father …. and another woman who was part of the group on their way to Israel,” he said.

The other American seized was a female congregant from another church that works closely with his father’s congregation, he said.

The reason for the kidnapping was to free one of the kidnappers uncle’s from an Egyptian prison. Jirmy Abu-Masuh vowed to kidnap more individuals until his demands are met.

Jirmy Abu-Masuh, 32, of the Tarbeen tribe, said in an interview that he stopped their tour bus and also kidnapped their 28-year-old tour guide Haytham Ragab as well so he could translate.

Abu-Masuh told The Associated Press that the Americans are being treated well — they’ve been given tea and a traditional Bedouin meal of lamb — but they won’t be released until his uncle, who is in an Egyptian prison, is released as well. He also said that if his uncle is not released, he will abduct more people.

Allen West: Muslim Brotherhood Takeover in Egypt Shows Arab Spring Is Radical Islamic Nightmare

Allen West or Barack Obama, you make the call …

Allen West, a man wise beyond his years. A year ago US Rep. Allen West (R-FL) told supporters, “I fear the Arab Spring is really a Muslim Brotherhood nightmare.” Looks like he was spot on in his analysis. However, one man’s “radical Islamic nightmare” is another one’s (The One’s) congratulatory call.  That is correct Barack Obama called Mohamed Morsi to congratulate the Muslim Brotherhood candidate on his victory and looked forward to working with him in the future.

From Facebook, Allen West responds to the Muslim Brotherhood victory in the Egyptian Presidential election.

A year ago there were those of us who warned the Obama Administration of a Muslim Brotherhood takeover in Egypt. We were castigated as alarmists and loose cannons. Today our predictions have come to reality and the ominous specter reminding us of the Iranian revolution is evident. The Muslim Brotherhood claimed they would not run a presidential candidate. Clearly the Arab Spring is nothing more than a radical Islamic nightmare. Now we need to unequivocally reiterate our support to the Coptic Christians and Israel. What an incredible foreign policy faux pas by the second coming of President Jimmy Carter, the Obama Administration. I call upon President Barack Obama to cut off American foreign aid to Egypt, denounce the results of this election, repudiate the Muslim Brotherhood, and all radical Islamist political entities
