Ok... Can you connect the dots for me? I still don't see what I should be taking away from that. I'm sure that there is a whole spectrum of political opinion in Egypt, as there is in the USA, of which Mardini represents a single point.
Well, you were the one complaining about Americans (enthusiastically and in a carefree manner) taking sides in foreign disputes. It was pointed out that at least one of the key folks involved in this particular event is (at least by birth) an Egyptian.
While I agree with your broader point, if this particular contribution comes from an Egyptian rather than an American it does seem to have some relevance for your original comment, which I took to pertain to this particular piece of software rather than to just be a general comment.
