Agreed. But I think the guy is silly, I would not take him seriously. But when one of my friends, and he is not an exception (just a good writer), wrote an excellent article on the topic, unfortunately in Arabic [1], and the Google Translate version is incomprehensible, you can a better sense of what the very strong opposition to the new regime and this attitude of theirs.
In short, his thesis: my Muslim brothers and sisters, we are nothing. I am not going waste time talking more about it more than has already been repeated countless times, but suppose we wake up and all the Muslims are gone. Will scientific research stop? Will any technology and medicine production cease? Will anyone miss Muslim society as a whole for its contributions back? No. And that is what we should worry about.
Ironically, he wrote this editorial months ago in reaction to the same video that got YouTube banned very recently. I show this as to not kid the people who come here into thinking Egyptians want censorship and cannot handle the though of someone offending them (this article mocks this viewpoint at length), it is just you must realize English is not the native language (only the ruling elite) or this is huge intellectual movement against most of these things. Unlike the ruling party and more conservative elements, they are focused internally and not externally to work on their image. Take it as you want.
