Egypt orders slaughter of all pigs over swine flu

[Baked]

How symbolic.

It's not THAT big of a deal. Madagascar didn't close its borders yet.

Too bad the strain wasn't called "Militant Islamic Terrorist Flu." Perhaps then Egypt would have done something productive.

That's what I was going to ask. Maybe I'm showing my ignorance, but why do they even have pigs there? Pets? Work animals? Wild?

Coptic christians = 20% of the population
However, pork consumption is by no means habitual even amongst this sector of Egyptian society. Possibly trade?

Is swine flu a Muslim plot to destroy the Christian world?

Muslims don't plot to destroy anything, religious fanatics (pertaining to any religion), well, that's another story...

No, it's just way behind Christians. Jesus started slaughtering Pigs 2 thousand years ago.

Actually they did: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200..._ea/ml_egypt_swine_flu

Killed 25 million chickens

Next year's headline: "Risk of Egyptian Flu epidemic continues to increase."

Egyptian populace: "FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-"
