You’re making the above poster’s point for them. Well done. It’s pretty fair to assume that Mo Salah’s ancestors were of that same land regardless of what religious or cultural identity they came from.
The point is that before the Arab Muslim conquest Egypt was inhabited by many different ethnic groups and was ruled by leaders of many different ethnical and cultural backgrounds.
Its just as ignorant from Mo Salah exclusively claiming this cultural heritage as it is from the Brits, period.
Its the same if I was immigrating to Paris this year and 500 years from now my family claims the creation of the Eifel Tower.
