Ermm, could we have some photos, or other more authentic images, instead of just orientalist fantasies? FunkMonk ( talk) 01:48, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.
1-This page is stealing every single Egyptian Folklore heritage and claiming it to 22 countries. Clear appropriation.
2-North Africans (Egyptians, Moroccans, Algerians...) are not ethnically Arabs/Bedouins so calling their Folk dances by Arab dance is clear culture appropriation and exclusion to Copts, Berbers and North African countries cultural right to have their National Folk dances named after their people and home. Marina Towadros ( talk) 03:23, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
According to the Constitution of Egypt Article 1: The Arab Republic of Egypt is a sovereign state. Egypt is part of the Arab nation and accomplishments its integration and unity. Islam is the religion of the state and Arabic is its official language.
Either for the sources clearly mentions it as Egyptian Traditional Folkore (no one denies that!), there are also many sources that say belly dance is a traditional Arabic dance (because it is an Egyptian dance!!). Try to say that Egypt is not an Arab country or the Egyptian culture that has been the basis of Arab culture for hundreds of years, especially the Egyptian cinema that invaded the entire Arab world. etc. so this is a personal opinion. For example, if you want Dabke, there are sources that mentions is a Palestinian 1, Lebanese 2 and Syrian or Jordanian, but in general is a Levantine because it is a regional dance, Belly dancing is also called a Middle Eastern. Any person or thing comes from a country, region or continent bearing its name. I mean anyone from Asia say to him Asian. Jerusalem is a Middle Eastern city, France is a European country etc etc... In short, this article includes all dances in the Arab world and Egypt is part of it!.-- Sarah Canbel ( talk) 09:33, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
