    You're doing it again, Daniel.

    What? Judging another culture according to my perspective, or being inaccurate with my facts? If it's the former, then I'd say you're right -- I am.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't and it's forbidden. I'm just saying that you can say that according to your moral standards it's unacceptable, but that's about all you can say. Feelings of superiority only mean that you will underestimate, misjudge and be prejudiced against individuals from the other culture.

    Yes, I also think that this culture is incompatible with the Western culture. Guess what, both Arab/Islamic and Western cultures are in a minority.

    The only intelligent thing I can say about it is that Egypt is trying its damned best to become Western. It's the first Arab country to have a peace accord with Israel, It's getting aid from the US, and it has some sort of parliamentary government, although not democratic. These incidents don't help much with those efforts.
