Egypt's Salafis are a conundrum. They resent their portrayal by Egyptian and Western media as
bogeymen intent on taking over the world, then tell you that, in as much, this is exactly what they'd like to see happen. The Salafis we met were very welcoming and certainly knew a thing or two about how to eat a sheep; rest assured, should a global caliphate arise it'll likely come with more good food than you can shake a Quoran at. Intrepid reporter Sarah Lynch will have a far more insightful view on this whole situation in next month's Esquire Middle East and an insight into the economic effects of labour strikes in Egypt in next month's Executive.
