"Scammers / cheaters are everywhere- but what is chilling is the family involvement or the fact that the hotels have to be protected by the police- is it because of the peaceful religion of islam, "

In my brief post I wasn't talking about Islam in Egypt. I was noting the persona of the Egyptian people and I know Egyptians from all walks of life. Generally they are happy with their lives here in Egypt and are not looking for a visa out of the country to a western country. As you have noted , there are scammers everywhere and not just in Egypt as there are plenty in the west too. You just have to read the newspapers to see that.

I gather from your posts that you have a problem with Islam but it is not always the issue in posts on this blog. Most of the posts have personality, companionship and relationship issues before issues with Islam.
