Strange that you sought out this website to tell Russians and Russian-studying people that little fact. Strange, in my opinion, that it's all you wanted to chat about.

Egypt has a long history of eschewing pigeonholes of extremity even in a part of the world that often adopts such extremity willingly - if I understand correctly, Egypt has even in the midst of war and religious change several times over remained its own in identity, and moderate, by the loose standards of a comparison against the events of its neighboring lands over the course of a thousand years of history. Then again, I'm no expert, just a book-reader.

And also, you spelled "going" wrong, as it does not contain a T. Cheers.
