Dennis - Egypt is the cradle of extreme hatred toward the Western World. They put somewere in their mind, that they are this BIG ME POWER like in ancient ages and can not get over it that the Roman destroyed them ....... no matter that the present Egyptians have little in common with ancient Egypt ......except the ruins on their soil female genital mutilation.

Egyptians are also very frustrated that the Brit's and French plundered their country in the 19th century - Napoleon practically destroyed them. In W.W.II they sympathized with Nazi Germany but were under British rule. As a Nation they did not declare war against Germany until February 1945 close to war end.

The most extremist terrorist groups come from Egypt and OBL turned even more extremist after the Islamic Jihad from Egypt joined forces.

From a social economic point they are very backward. Unemployment of young people is very high and population growth unsustainable by the land.

Egypt still practices crude female genital mutilation (Clitorodectomy) on teenage girls mostly for "family honor" amnesty.org , ccsu.edu and family honor killings are not punished. Those killing occur including for a variety behavior which are accepted in the Western World.
