In the past, the simple question of ‘enta eh?’ might have been directed at you to innocently ascertain if you were Ahlawy or Zamalkawy or, less innocently, Christian or Muslim. During Mubarak’s reign and Morsi’s brief tenure, the origin of your faith deemed your position in society. If you were a Sunni Muslim, you were alright. If you were Christian with money, you were good because you helped the Sunni Muslims with jobs. If you were Shi’aa, you didn’t exist. The question has evolved, though. Now it’s posed to ascertain your political standing. Are you Egyptian or are you Brotherhood? Are you pro-Egypt or are you pro-reconciliation? In a new Egypt where classification is everything, it is important to choose which side you are on, otherwise you might as well be Shi’aa. cairoscene/ViewArticle.aspx?AId=1730
