No, what I am saying is that I am very aware of your view on which I clearly disagree.

Egypt moves to ban Elton John
- Thread starter *Anne*
- Start date
Many tourists who visit Egypt have very good experiences and many of them visit it again.

Actually, I'd love to travel to Egypt to see the pyramids. However, I have a strict policy of avoiding countries where people want to kill me because of their igorance and intolerance.
It would be their loss. Sir Reginald Kenneth Dwight (aka Elton John) is extremely talented. He plays the piano beautifully, sings lovely, and writes lovely melodies (thank Bernie Taupin for the wonderful lyrics). They'd be missing out. He could come to San Diego County, we'd love to have him here, even with his extreme opinions (which we all have to an extent).

I don't know if such a word exists, but perhaps we should create a new one for this type of perspective....... maybe..... "Westophobia"? ^_^

Since when did I ever make such a ludicrous claim? You are making a blunderous assumption.

I think the problem is:
People in "the West" such as MSizer (no offense :sorry1
And people like not4me see people from "the West" and associate them with people like MSizer.
So basically, people from "both sides" are making sweeping generalizations and seem to think that their "opposite" is the enemy and that they need to fight (maybe).
Now how do we fix this?
I expect you to point out my sweeping generalization, or else I'd like an admission of misrepresentation.

A most sagacious policy, to be sure.
Personally, I try to avoid the exercise yards at maximum security prisons for much the same reason.

As you have said before:
MSizer said:
You seem to assume and/or imply, as I have said before, that ALL Muslims interpret the Koran in the same or similar fashion. What you seem to imply is in fact, not true. There are many Muslim groups such as the Ahmadi and Ismailis that have different interpetations than other Muslim groups.
And you also seem to be trying to get me to back down...? :sarcastic
Yes I got that and what I was saying is that the view you have oppresses people and should be opposed by all decent human beings.

Yeah you can't have that Western mindset take root in the middle east, wouldn't want people running around respecting women. Being 'unique' isn't always a good thing.

Article
Elton John is supposed to give a private concert in Egypt May 18, but a music organization is colluding with authorities to ban him from performing.
"How do we allow a gay, who wants to ban religions, claimed that the prophet Eissa (Jesus) was gay and calls for Middle Eastern countries to allow gays to have sexual freedom?" head of the Egyptian Musician Union, Mounir al-Wasimi told the German Press Agency DPA.
Almost as bad...the article photo
(They couldn't find a better picture?!)
I dont know, he wants to BAN religions! wow not exactly very tolerant himself if those words are true.
But on the other hand we cant make countries beleive what the west does.
