Secret police sounds way scarier than undercover cop. Are they the same thing?

No. Secret police is a dynamic, not literal translation. Their official title is "national security". Egypt has a similar distinction between types of incarceration, like we do: jail and prison. Only their jail is like our prison and their prison is (to quote a source) "a place where you disappear and your family cannot find you." The men in the crowds can send you to the latter.

why dont protestors beat these guys up?

Here's a pretty interesting English-language article on who the protestors are and why they're angry. For context, this outlet is pretty anti-Morsi, pro-revolution.

Anybody like mountain biking? I could take a few more pics the next time I'm out. It's pretty savage here. But beautiful views  although the Saturday morning garbage fires are a little bit of a wet blanket.

Since I took the day off and Mrs Rex did not, today seems like the day for an-house McArabia. For ambience, I will try to include pics of all the street cats that live outside McDonald. I want you all to be able to taste every bit of this weird Arabic meat loaf thing.

Also, if you have asked a question and I didn't answer, today is the day to remind me. I might even figure out how to post vids of censored family guy videos.

I had to pick up my in-laws from the airport. The path of the protest marches kinda was a hassle, but nothing major. More concerning, the protests have reached our ritzy little suburb. The boabs are restless.

Holy crap, I thought it was just like a Big Mac on pita!  This meatloaf angle is very intriguing...

I don't believe this McArabia thing is going to happen.  We've been strung along for too long.

So, why is there pro-Morsi protesters? Are they getting paid or gov't employees or what?

They want the right to stone their women to death should they walk out of the house alone. Pretty normal stuff.
