no solutions just hope

[Shad201]

Interesting thought Firestormify, however, I can tell that you have poor understanding/awareness of Egyptian History. Your argument is lost once you make an erroneous statement like :These muslims came from Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, Kurdistan"

Pls read History first before making such statements.

I agree with you about the lost culture, There is no hope.
