"It's last call at Cairo Hyatt, and tensions are on tap" by Ellen Knickmeyer, Washington Post | July 21, 2008

CAIRO - Diners in the revolving restaurant on the 41st floor of Cairo's Grand Hyatt once could count on a certain order to things: As surely as the torpid Nile coursed below and the Pyramids loomed in the distance, the whiskey, beer, and wine flowed for hotel guests.

Then a Saudi sheik bought the Grand Hyatt, one of the city's leading luxury hotels. On visiting his new holding in April, Abdel Aziz Ibrahim declared the hotel dry and ordered managers to destroy its alcohol. Hotel workers poured out the bottles into drains running into the Nile, according to news reports at the time.

The new prohibition reflects the disdain that some Muslims maintain for what they see as the libertine ways of Cairo. Ibrahim's action has sparked a five-star tussle with the Hyatt chain, which wants to restore liquor to the hotel, and has revived a debate over tolerance in Egypt.

Amid the wrangling, the Hyatt's thirsty have found refuge a few steps away in a dark bar that is also under Saudi ownership. Hassan bin Laden, half brother of Osama, is a prominent shareholder of the Hard Rock Cafe in the Grand Hyatt complex.

The sheik's supporters applaud him for his forcefulness in upholding Islamic prohibitions on alcohol, and started an online petition on his behalf. Detractors see the declaration of temperance at the Grand Hyatt as another instance of wealthy Saudis imposing their religious views on the rest of the Muslim world.

The alcohol ban will only feed the perception of "terrorism and fanaticism," said Ahmed el-Nazer, secretary general of Egypt's Chamber of Tourist Establishments.

The religious law is clear: The Koran says Muslims should neither drink alcohol nor associate themselves with it. While many of Egypt's Muslim majority are devout, the government and most Egyptians look the other way when it comes to foreigners - 11 million of whom visited the country last year.

Cairo swells each summer with tourists from the Arabian peninsula, many seeking respite from their countries' religious codes. The alcohol ban has been hard on the Hyatt's business, according to travel agents, who reported hundreds of cancellations. The chain is negotiating with Ibrahim on restoring alcohol.

Don't believe me? It's paired with this
rubbish.

I'm not for stoning people; however, I am against the Zionist-controlled, anti-Muslim Amerikan MSM and its promotion of the intolerant Muslims -- as opposed to the poor, kind, open-minded Jews.

So WHAT HAPPENED in PALESTINE TODAY, s*** f****?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
