Question by Just-M the Paperbird: To Egyptains: what do you think about the picture of your country in the eyes of people outside?
Salam, egyptian brothers & sisters. i’m from Morocco.
I always watch “al 3ashira masa’an” “90 da9i9a” & “al hayat al yoom”
& i keep wondering why is Egypte continiously in total trouble…
now i might be wrong of course, & thats why i’m asking.
I confess that those TV shows are really great, but that’s how the picture looks for me, or let’s say thats how they make it look.
I also know that they show good things too, for example, i liked that report about the desert of Sina in “al3ashira masa’an” on the memorial day. (i think it was the memorial) & of course i feel proud of it, first as a Muslim, & then as an Arabian.
now what i’m asking is:
* do you support those shows because you want the whole world (or the arab wotlds at least) to know what’s going on inside your homeland.
or
* you think that’s exagerating, & jeopardizes the picture of the country in the eyes of people, especially those who don’t know anything about Egypt. (u know, there are some people ignorant & isolated from the outside world, like most of the Americans)
Note: our Morocco is not a paradise either, we have the same things like everyday, its just that our popular satellite channels don’t make that big deal of it, for one good reason : we don’t have popular satellite channels *dammit* !!
sorry for the misspelling “egyptain”

I don’t know the TV shows you are talking about, but I wouldn’t judge a whole country on their TV shows. I’m not that judgmental, but it looks like you are. It makes me sad that you call us Americans ignorant & isolated. Our neighborhood is filled with people from all over the world, & we get along beautifully. Our church helps people from all nations. I would really like to know why you don’t like us. I’d like to share something with you. “The consequences of the past are always with us, & half the hostilities tearing the world apart could be resolved today were we to allow the forgiveness of sins to alter these consequences. Let’s go further: all the hostilities in our personal & planetary life could be ended were we to allow the forgiveness of sins to act as a lightning rod grounding all these hostilities; if we were to say of ourselves, ‘The hostility stops here.’ “
