To Masri---On Egypt

Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Jan 24, 2009 at 14:24

Hi Masri:

I understand that it is hard for you to talk about a culture and country that you like. There are a few others on here who have felt the same.

Please know, though, that this behavior is not reflective of Egypt or any other culture as a whole. I understand that, and I think that most people who read this blog do also.

You really have nothing to be ashamed about, because what is discussed on here is not the norm. If it were, we would see much more social pathologies in Egypt, but as it is, they do alright.
