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.

You falsely removed the concept of nationality from anyone professing to be a Moslem. Thus my comment was entirely relevent. The rest of your yammering in this post IS irrelevent though.
