Here are the rioters' "business cards"



Roar Christiansen was walking along the street taking photographs when a man began to beat away at him. Soon he was surrounded by a mob of around 50 young and middle aged men. - They demanded my camera. I held on for a while but just had to drop it to save myself

....

After the attack, he discovered that the mob had emptied his pockets and stole money and a memory card with pictures. As "compensation" they replaced them with flyers and their mob calling card. The translation of the following message is: "Yes to Mubarak, yes to stability."



....

BBC, AP, Washington Post, CNN, the Associated Press, CBS News, Al Jazeera, Australia's Ten Network, Al-Arabiya and many more reporting on all attacks and damage to their journalists and photographers.

2. Was there ever any doubt that the thugs and looters and
violent killers were Mubarak's thugs? I hope our MSM will stop prevaricating now and start stating facts. Enough with the 'well, I can't say for sure, although it did seem like they were pro-Mubarak, but 'both sides' were involved in the fighting blah, blah, blah. I am so sick of our media.
