War zone

Today I was awaken at 7 am scared like hell thinking I was sleeping in Iraq or something by huge sounds of explosions in the streets which went on for almost 20 mins. Dazed and trying to figure out what the hell is going on when it hit me, it's the Eid today in Egypt and kids returning from morning prayers with their parents are playing with fireworks, which is a stupid habit that seem to grow every year. Despite the huge number of accidents we read in the papers every year parents are still getting the fireworks to their 7 and 8 years old and give them a match and say "light it up son". And of course who gives a damn about people resting in this hour they are either infidels who are enjoying a holiday on our behalf or Muslims that are too lazy to wake up for the morning prayers, well that should teach them a lesson to fulfil their duties to god or face this.

Happy Eid everybody
