This is how the world turns? A religious death cult bombing city after city from Baghdad to Egypt to London? John Burns’ analysis from Iraq makes for even grimmer reading.
GUARDIAN MELTDOWN: Clive Davis follows developments.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “There is no more ‘us’ and ‘them’ It is all ‘we’. When London, Beirut and Sharm el-Sheikh are all attacked in less than 48 hours, there is no more Muslim or Christian or Jew. There is no more believer or infidel. There is no more East or West When the dead in Sharm el-Sheikh included Britons, Dutch, Egyptians, French, Kuwaitis, Spaniards, and Qataris, it is all we and we are all in this together. For just one example of how small the world has become and how nowhere is immune from terrorism anymore, look no further than London policeman Charlie Ives who survived the bombings in Sharm el-Sheikh. He was on holiday in the Egyptian resort after dealing with the aftermath of the July 7 London bombings.” – Mona Eltahawy, in Asharq Alawsat.
