Cairo Gets First snow in 100 Years, 3 Feet of Snow Blanket Jerusalem - Algore Sweats

Posted by Brian

Three FEET of snow blanketed Israel today, and Egyptians in Cairo got their first snowfall in 100 years.
No word yet if the snowfall was brought on as a knee-slapping example of G_d's sense of humor in the face of Algores "man-made" global warming alarmism, or from a frosty reception from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for U.S. Secretary of State John "Effing" Kerry (Story below).

Oy Vey! God and his damn sense of humor!

CAIRO -- Snow coated domes and minarets Friday as a record Mideast storm compounded the suffering of Syrian refugees, sent the Israeli army scrambling to dig out stranded motorists and gave Egyptians a rare glimpse of snow in their capital.
Nearly three feet of snow closed roads in and out of Jerusalem, which is set in high hills, and thousands in and around the city were left without power. Israeli soldiers and police rescued  hundreds trapped in their cars by snow and ice. In the West Bank, the branches of olive trees groaned under the weight of snow.

Islam: 1400 Years of Death and Destruction

 Cultural jihad against the West will advance until we stop it.
The enemedia keeps calling the rabid Islamo-dogs who set Egypts finest library on fire “students”. That in itself is outrageous: students don’t burn books, they study them.

The Islamists’ fires: when will the west wake up? / By MICHAEL A. WALSH
As if further proof were needed of the fecklessness of Western civilization when confronting savagery, consider the destruction of the Institut d’Egypte in Cairo this month. Once again, the world watched helplessly while a horde of Muslim rioters wantonly annihilated a piece of history, and thus served warning that its cultural jihad against the West will advance until we stop it.

Muslim Brotherhood Leads New Demonstration In Cairo

Egyptians back in Tahrir for anti-military protests, 10 months


 after Mubarak’s ouster


Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians rallied Friday in Cairo’s Tahrir square with Islamists in the forefront to protest against what they say are attempts by the country’s military rulers to designate themselves as the guardians of a new Egypt. It was one of the largest rallied in Egypt in recent months.
