Hey Bassem, (sorry this is gonna be long)

Just to get this out of the way: I’m a huge fan and supporter of what you do, you and your team. I believe that you (as a team, because I know you always say that it’s a team effort) represent a better Egypt. At a time when even the idea of openly criticizing the ruling power was just being introduced to Egyptians, you stepped up and openly mocked arguably one of the toughest and most influential political parties at the time. Even when the ruling party was one of overwhelming support you managed to keep on doing what you do as with any other party. The Egyptian people were not ready to hear someone they supported being ridiculed and for that you were shunned by the general population. I can’t apologize on behalf of the Egyptian people even though I am Egyptian born and bred, but I just wish to tell you that it’s a shame you came at the wrong time. Hopefully there will come a time where people are ready to hear what you offer. Your jokes, innuendos, musical numbers and every other satirical gesture you made used to liven up my Friday nights.

Now for the question part:

My parents are part of the population that believes you are a US agent that actually hates this country. While debating them, one point I couldn’t manage to argue was that when mocking Morsi, you mocked how he ruled (once, how he dressed), yet when mocking Adly Mansour, you mocked how he looks personally (Which is something he can’t change) What’s your response to that? (that you were just finding anything to mock because you didn’t have enough material)

First of all من امتا والمصريين بيستاعملوا ريدت؟؟

Second, i really admire your very objective answers, so thank you for giving Reddit a more civilized look at egyptians! You are smart, witty, funny and very wise in your answers and I applaud you for that

حبيب قلبي

I am with you completely and I thank you for answering. It seems my parents are just too stubborn and unwilling to change their opinions. and I will relay your message to them.

Again, thank you and good luck with the documentary!

I'm sorry to say this, but I think if all it took to dump you after two years was you're condition then she didn't actually dump you because of that. She was just using you're condition as an excuse because she was too much of a coward to say the truth.

I reaaallly hate being clichéd but I truly mean it when I say: stay strong, and have a wonderful life :)

What inspired you to do this AMA, then?
