None of those oh so laudable intentions has anything to do with misindentifying people. Most Moslems identify themselves with their nation. It is true that the IslamoFascists do not but we are not dealing with that type in the UAE despite the LIES of the Antis to make it appear we are. But that is all they have is LIES.

How someone in Egypt self-identifies is not really relevant to this conversation.

Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip and West Bank don't consider people who engage in self-immolation missions that result in the deaths of scores of innocent people "terrorists," but that does not make it a valid judgment.

The headquarters of the Arab League-with the exception of a few years when Egypt was diplomatically isolated because of the first Camp David accords-was in Egyptian territory.

The United Arab Republic was comprised of two nations, Syria and Egypt.

The country that has both tacitly and explicitly supported genocide against non-Arabic ethnic groups in The Sudan and elsewhere is Egypt.

I suppose you could make an argument that Egypt is not an Arab country-and that there are still people who worship the pharoah-but then you would have to say the same thing about Lebanon, Syria, and almost every other country not located on the Arabian peninsula.

Whether a country becomes Arab through forced Arabization-as was the case with most of the conquests of Mohammed and succeeding caliphs-or is innately Arab-by lineage-is immaterial within this context.
