Green or Yellow Hands

Luxor has both Christian and Moslem communities and the politics of the Middle East are equally diverse. Air your views on the situation.

So...Have I got this right?....
Green is pro CC (Sisi and the army)
Yellow is pro MB (terrorism)
Pink is ???

Bit of a stupid idea in some ways, because you are telling the world who you support and at a time like this it may not be the wisest thing to do.
I was is a coffee shop 2 days ago and apparently Facebook pages are awash with these coloured hands.

They are indeed! On one Luxor based page, if you change your avatar to a green hand, you are instantly thrown out of it's 'community'!
I might agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong!

Well I have been deleting yellow hands off my FB page, an idea promoted by a yellow hand in the first instance.
And a [european] yellow-hand to boot.....:cool:
