Cairo, Egypt, is the largest Arab Islamic city. It’s garbage collection service has been maintained for over 50 years by a sect of Christian Copts known as the Zabaleen. They’re tolerated as Christians in the midst of all those Muslims not just because they maintain this service but because of the manner in which they do it.
Pigs.
Pigs eat the garbage and Muslims are forbidden from even touching a pig. Not so the Copts, so the way this works is, they collect the garbage put out by the streets, separate the edible organic stuff from the non-organic, recycle and sell the non-organic and feed the edible garbage to the pigs.
This is the waste collection service of the largest of all Arab cities, and it came into being back in the Bronze Age. Utterly primitive.
Then along came Swine Flu and the Egyptian government, to prevent the spread of swine flu, which is spread by people, not pigs, ignored all the protests from doctors all over the world and slaughtered all the pigs in Egypt!
Now the streets of Cairo are piled high with rotting, reeking garbage. Naturally, it’s infested with billions of flies, which, as any fool knows, spread disease. So now the citizens of Cairo can look forward to outbreaks of a variety of pestilences far beyond any problems the swine flu would have given them. They’re trying to replace the pigs with goats, which are ok for Muslims to touch, but the goats just aren’t making it, as you see below.
No city can survive without waste disposal. People keep generating garbage and it has to go somewhere that they don’t live, or the city becomes totally uninhabitable. Meanwhile the Copts, who ate the pigs as part of their diet, have no pig meat and no income from selling the recyclables, and are probably either starving to death or looking for a new home. This gets rid of a whole bunch of unwanted Christians and that makes the Muslims happy. I hope they can keep smiling as their garbage-filled streets run out of room to walk in and they start throwing it in each others back yards at night.
Maybe they’ll want to start exporting their garbage to foreign dumps. Exporting garbage is normal practice for Arab Muslims anyway, look at the trash they’ve dumped on the West now, with their terrorists and anti-West preachers in 1000′s of mosques.
Egypt is such a poor nation and Cairo a poor city that the possibility of them buying a fleet of garbage trucks and hiring workers to collect it, and creating a landfill for it, and so on, is nil. They really have only one choice, which is to buy a new bunch of pigs for the Copts, which is a lot cheaper than all those trucks and workers, and they’d better hurry while they still have the Copts.
How fitting is it that the foundation of the most populous city of the most populous Arab Muslim state of all, rests on pigs?
