| First Egyptian Blogger: Yes the media is as bad as you think |

| EFL ----------------- Egypt Hi, I am from Egypt. This is my first blog ever. I would love to use it in making my voice heard. I hope you enjoy the stuff I write here. Sunday, April 18, 2004 Comments (42) | Trackback (0) Below are the answers to the questions I got. Do you know of any other Egyptians that feel the same as you do about Iraq and the U.S.? Yes but very few though. Nearly every news outlet that an Egyptian is exposed to is fervently anti-America and so it is quite normal for such an attitude to develop. ... I tend to compare Mubarak with other Arab leaders and he’s surely doing a much better job. For example, you cannot compare Mubarak with Saddam or Syria’s Asad.... Despite all the economical and social problems that we’re facing, I’d rather have Mubarak forever than a single day with the radical Muslim Brotherhood in power. This is my priority. By his own admission, he is an unusual Egyptian in some ways (e.g., he doesn’t think the Paleos should have RoR to Israel proper) but his feelings about Mubarak may be more representative. |
