What do Egyptians think of Sheik Al Hilali?

Question

Do you think his comments were worth the hassle they are creating in Aust, or do you think it is a media beat up? Or was he completely misquoted and actually said "great country I love the place"? If some one made such gross generalisations about your countries past and then called you all liers would it be fine? I am trying to get a bit of perspective here. We only have the media version as most Aussies dont speak Arabic and only heard a few seconds of dialogue with a translation over the top.

Answer 1

That he looks like Michael Jackson...
