Change In Egypt

I am not trying to "appeal to authority" I am merely trying to support my opinoin with evidence.culture is more my bag than what you refer to as "science". To me it is a double standard, but I will try anyway. This shows the difference between Upper Egyptians, and Lower Egyptians. So really it depends on where in the country you live. The south is "less arabic" than the north even though the north is only 19.1% arabic to begin with. To me this is logical to my original thoughts because there is a considerable geographic and climatic barrier to get to egypt overland (the route Arabs would have to take to arrive), and for native Egyptians to leave. This would make the original population more isolated, and less prone to outside genitic influence.

To sum up, there doesn’t seem to be majority ‘Arab’ genetic component to the Egyptian DNA pool, 20% absolute maximum. And a lot of the non African DNA is traceable to the Neolithic farming expansion that swept across North Africa, so it would be a lot lower in reality. Egyptians are Egyptian, not Arab

Gaddafi defiant as state teeters.Gaddafi is playing the "they're all Evil Islamists" card, of course, but really you don't have to be an Evil Islamist to dislike Muammer Gaddafi. Having a pulse is also a qualification.As this guy wittily puts it: "The only good in Gaddafi’s Libya is the absence of elections, which spared the Gaddafi’s revolutionary committees the additional misdemeanour of rigging them."Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.
