@Bobnotsobad courageous and blunt? 2:49 - 3:00

and to think I used to stand up for the guy... :/

[Bobnotsobad]

I can't understand the reason to attack this man ... Is he saying untrue facts about Egypt or Egyptians ... an Egyptian myself (and Moslem by the way) I salute Naguib's courageous and blunt attitude ... it is about time we stop our hypocritical attitude towards these issues ...

@amaragy2003 No need to use bad language.

I do respect Naguib Sawiris for his courage. I am a Christian living in Egypt. I wish to underline the point that a majority of Christians do not drink, either for religious belief, or because the lower class cannot afford it. Drinking is not a Christian trademark... a lot of Muslims drink... I also believe that Naguib Sawiris should be more careful and less blunt in his statements.

You made billions thanks to your Muslim clients who represent more than 85% of the Egyptian population and you were respected as a businessman. Ever since you entered politics you became a total failure because of your bigotry. Just see how many clients you lost at your mobile company and how many members left the political party that you founded. You need to learn when it's more suitable to SHUT UP!!!!

This guy is hypocrisy walking. He was a fervent deffender of Mubarak and a supporter of Gamal Mubarak taking over. I can't believe that he's presenting himself as a revolutionist now. Both Christians and Muslims in Egypt are conservative. Reducing the interests of Egyptian Christians in drinking and mini skirts is offensive to Christians more than anyone else.

Some people act as if they didn't even see the video and started attacking Sawiris on sight!!

1- Muslims in Mobinil are more than Christians and they're all over the organizational levels.

2- He explained in details the issue of blocking the mobile services during the revolution.

3- He's asking either to stop Gulf funding Muslim brotherhoods and Salafis or to allow funding liberal newly made parties, isn't this a fair request?!!!

4- He never said anything bad about Muslims
