False-Flag Ops

When alleged Muslim terrorists bombed a Coptic church in Egypt at Christmastime, I immediately thought it was a false-flag operation, intended to set Christians against Muslims, to the advantage of Mubarak. It would also, as Eric Margolis pointed out, help make Americans even more hysterically anti-Muslim, which is a goal of the US State and its satraps. Thanks to Casey Khan for this John Allen article on the subject. Adds Casey:
If true, this adds further weight to the thesis offered by William Cavanaugh in his book “The Myth of Religious Violence: Secular Ideology and the Roots of Modern Conflict” where he argues that the rise of modern violence is due to the nation state and not religious fervor.  Cavanaugh presents evidence that during the rise of the Hobbesian-Westphalian states Catholics and Protestants were often aligned against these Leviathans.  Interestingly in Egypt, Muslims and Christians have been aligned against the Mubarak regime.
Divide and Rule was the formula of the Roman empire, and all empires. Some people think that the CIA agent being held in Pakistan was involved in provoking terrorism (see here and here) rather than fighting it. I have always wondered how many terrorist incidents were real, and how many were fomented by agents provocateur.
