Why do you have to move to America to develop a product that provides value to people everywhere, including Americans? Do that, and I'm pretty sure those American investors will find you.

This is exactly the question... would I have a chance to get a funding opportunity?

  Well, couldn't you find Egyptian investors to fund you?

      You'll find investors with the 'smart money' are very well-informed in comparison to the general population, as they must be by necessity.

  You need to turn it around and make what you are thinking of as a disadvantage an advantage for you. There are plenty of rich Arab Muslims around. Chase them for investment - ask them why they aren't funding Arab Muslim companies and are instead investing in News Corporation (eg http://www.kingdom.com.sa/en/MC_PR_NewsDetails.asp?p=3&ID=448 http://www.kingdom.com.sa/en/MC_PR_NewsDetails.asp?p=3&I...). Not only are they rich, but many of them are well connected, too.
