In this thread, I see people raising the issues regarding the Egyptian government. As we know, it's not a democracy and the Egyptian people did not choose the government. The government there is more repressive, but not so much so (like Burma) that we can't have Wikimania there. To penalize Egyptian Wikimedians (and those from Jordan and other nearby places), for what their government does is not cool with me.
Exactly. To penalize the Egyptian Wikipedians who put together a wonderful proposal seems unreasonable.
These are the people we want to be supporting and encouraging.
