i was too judgmental earlier and i want to correct that. i have never been in any of the gulf states and therefore can't have opinion about what they do or don't. however, i know this for a fact: every country has its own nutcases and you can't reach conclusion based on this for the whole country. that wouldn't be fair.
furthermore, i have been to Egypt and its people are one of the most welcoming, friendly and tolerant people i had ever seen. the a few times i was there, i enjoyed it a lot. the funny thing, though, is that when i mentioned my good experiences in Egypt to an Arab hater, just like many of you here, he said "Egyptians are not real Arab" i was like "whatever" dude and i ended the conversation there.
to me, probably there are no worse ummad than soomaalida, period. so yaanan dadka kale wax xun aanan ka sheegin
I also Went to egypt.. Many Average Egyptains Relate to horners Than most other nationalities, Especially in the south. If you live in egypt for few years and get hold on the accent Most egyptians would think you are from egypt, even if you say you are somali they would brush it off as " Yes Yes its the same you are from our south you are Egyptian" , someone from nigeria can live all his life and they would call him mazungo.
