Looks like Egypt is bringing back old customs

Quote
The Arab Spring takeover of Egypt by the Muslim Brotherhood has run amok, with reports from several different media agencies that the radical Muslims have begun crucifying opponents of newly installed President Mohammed Morsi.

Middle East media confirm that during a recent rampage, Muslim Brotherhood operatives “crucified those opposing Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace while abusing others.”
Anyone want to go see the Pyramids? 

I guess it still might be safer than Mexico.

I saw that on drudge too, I have not looked if there are any other sources, I like WND but I do not rely on them as the only source to cite.

Fake. WND's source already retracted this.

I don't care what they bring back, as long as it's not those $8B annual foreign payments from the US.

Wurd.

Win for real Americans, loss for beltway power brokers that travel the world on our dime.

I call that a double-win.

 Laura Ingraham briefly mentioned the alleged crucifixions today on Fax News, she is usually pretty good about not reporting rumors - is it possible its true, and if it is true - wouldn't other news outlets be talking about it?

If I were an Egyptian I'd be careful about using anything resembling a cross, even for punishment.  It might be misunderstood by your peers.

Stoning--for stone-age minds--seems much more appropriate.
