The parallel being drawn is between the Israelite escape from Egypt into freedom and the Christian escape from sin into freedom. It's not an indictment of present day Egyptian people or the nation.

While I understand your statement, my ultimate question (as a good Protestant - sola scriptura, BABY!) was "Does Scripture make this connection?" I honestly don't recall Scripture doing this, but this could merely reflect my lack of knowledge about Scripture!
