Abdeen Girls and love calls 2007-07-16 06:28:00 I wanted to speak about this topic so much Have not you noticed that in some Websites especially the download sites like rapid share that there are always these disgusting sex ads for girls , these ads are usually under the title "Meet single girls of Abdeen" With pictures of some ladies showing themselves in the most disgusting way , strangely they do not look like Egyptians , they are more from Eastern Europe My question is why the advertisers who seem to know the geographical location of the visitors insist on Abdeen ?? Why Abdeen?? Abdeen now is considered a populated popular area in Cairo , Abdeen is not famous for her girls I am afraid ,it is only famous for its Palace , the Abdeen Palace, the Former King's palace and current great presidential palace "I once visited and it is so so so so great and beautiful, no wonder when Mubarak wanted to tease America he hosted Putin in it" This is one thing second thing ,My mom received this strange SMS on her Mobile phone and I thought Read more:Girls

The underground conspiracy 2007-07-15 05:44:00 From couple of days ago I began to read posts and emails about the new security measures in the underground in Cairo , mostly complains about the treatment of the police and why on earth they don't let the people with laptops get on the metro and why on earth they search even women who wear Naqab !! There was something I could not understand till I found the press in Egypt today has nothing to speak about except this terrorist group that was arrested and its plan to bomb the underground !! Oh yes someone wanted to bomb the underground from couple of days yet the security in Egypt kept it in secret till they announced today. The story is like this The police received a series of calls that threatened to bomb the underground station of "Shobra El-Khamia" in the north of Cairo , it is very popular area for the hard working low class !! It is a scary thing , very scary thing , it reminds anyone with the bombing of the underground in UK or the much worse in my opinion the Toky
The Red Mosque and Napoleon mistake 2007-07-15 01:37:00 When Napoleon
was in Egypt along with his famous French expedition trying to make from Egypt the Jewel of the French Empire , he wanted so much to win the Egyptians to his side by any cost , he claimed to be their savior from the Othman rule , he claimed to be a Muslim and he even married an Egyptian Muslim girl who was killed as soon as he left the country. The Egyptian people resisted the French invaders very well ,yet they did not hate them that much to the extreme until he made his historical mistake and ordered his troops to enter Al-Azhar Mosque by their horses The ordered that caused a huge anger for the Egyptians translated in what was known the Cairo Revolution , the French entered the honorable Al-Azhar with their weapons ,shoes and horses ; a huge desecration that French could not apologize for except by their departure. The incident of Al-Azhar desecration till is having its remark after two centuries , I remember when some who were headed by Farouk Hosni , the culture min
Why was the rapist set free?? 2007-07-14 22:18:00 There were many questions and blames regarding the D.A to set the rapist
in the case of Hend ,the youngest mother in Egypt for a money bill. Any how after reading in the archives of El-Wafad Daily ,I may have an idea of what really happened Already Hend was examined after 5 month of the rape when the pain of pregnancy began as soon as her little fearful secret exposed , the father went to the police to inform the authorities whom by the turn did exactly what the law say and sent the girl to the medical examiners and forensics who found out that the girl is still a virgin despite her pregnancy Well do not be surprise here because it turned out she is a virgin thanks to the nature of her vagina "I don't know to post a wikipedia link that would enlighten some or what really" she still is keeping her virginity thanks to the elastic nature of her Hymen which I believe it is very rare condition and that's why the man was set free for a bill till the baby wa
A big twist in the case of the youngest mother in Egypt 2007-07-19 09:55:00 Ok now this is a huge big twist
that will me make re-read all what is related about the case again I will not speak more except that the primary DNA test came and concluded that Baby "Mena Allah" is not the daughter of the rapist Big surprise ,as you know any child has the genes of his /her mother
and father and according to the forensics the rapist is not the father Rapist Mohamed Samy Atia "21" years old was identified by "Hend to be the man who raped her from nine months ago and make her pregnant Of course this can blow the case upside specially the D.A decided to send the accused to the criminal court The case is already began to make a huge buzz as the human rights organizations began to consider it as their new crusade , it is no longer "Al-Wafad" daily exclusive I don't know but I feel we are watching a big Indian movie From "Al-Wafad" Daily Technorati tags: Egypt

About Omar Ibn Laden and Jane Felix Browne 2007-07-19 09:07:00 The whole world had nothing to talk about except Omar Ibn Laden and his new wife Zeina or Jane Flex Brown and their love story which began in the land of eternity beside the shores of the love river aka the land of Egypt and the shores of the river Nile, in fact it started in one of the most romantic places in the Pyramids Plateau when Omar saw Jane riding the horse. "People sometimes forget that the pyramids are in the end big tombs that they should pay respect to those inside it ,it is not a dating place" In general It could be another strange love story that takes place in Egypt between a western over 40 years old lady and some Arab young man less than 30 years old , in fact most stories the young man is an Egyptian ,the latest one , the talk of the town was about the very poor young upper Egyptian man who is less than 30 years old and married a 70 years old British lady in Luxor , in less than a month the woman passed away and turned to be a single lonely very Read more:Felix

New possible heir in the way 2007-07-18 09:41:00 It is not confirmed yet the news is finding its way from the net "its origin" to the printed press and so it will be the talk of the town soon. It seems there is going to be baby Gamal Mubarak in the way , oh yes Dija or Moony is going to be a mommy and Jimmy is going to be daddy after exactly 7 months and Of course we should not forget big Mubarak himself is going to be a grand dad for the third time , as Alaa has two sons , Mohamed and I guess Omar"who was named after Omar Soliman as the later saved his grand daddy's live in Ethiopia " Congratulations for them if that is true My only wishes for that baby are to be loved by the public more than his dad and not to pay for his dad's mistake Of course the ultimate wish for is not to be the next heir of the State Technorati tags: Gamal Mubarak, Khadija Mubarak, Hosni Mubarak, Egypt, President, Middle East, North africa, politics, news, heir, democracy
Face to Face 2007-07-18 00:19:00 This is an old post I wrote and I forget to post here in my blog and I believe it is never too late Face to face means confrontation and it is also the name of the famous modeling and casting company in Egypt which owns the rights of the “Miss Egypt” and “Mr. Egypt” contests, its owners are Youssef El-Sibahy and Andre Abi Sha’ar Since 1995 they owned the right to organize such events in Egypt after long time of not having that sort of event annually. And since 1995 every year after the announcement of the new Miss Egypt there must be a huge buzz about the contest in the media and the parliament mostly in a negative manner very negative manner that doesn’t surprise any one who knows the Egyptian society very well as Arabic, Muslim and Eastern society. The media mainly the newspapers always attack the contest annually and accusing it and its owners with all sorts of charges from the disrespect to our traditions and customs to the undercover prostitution to the destruc

They were really going to bomb the metro 2007-07-17 07:21:00 I could not find more information about this news except that the Egyptian Security forces arrested a Libyan citizen who was preparing to make a terrorist act in the underground ,to be accurate he was going to bomb the metro
Strangely this comes right away after the threats the security received regarding the underground , the thing that made most people now in Cairo leave the underground and its stations that now look like ghost stations from fear A Libyan citizen , well this is very interesting , I think that they can say that he is working for Al-Qaida and this can be the easiest thing to say But the hardest thing to say is that he is working for the Libyan intelligence Look I don't accuse anyone with anything but the Libyan intelligence has one hell of history of supporting terrorist acts against Egypt and Egyptians back in the 1970s , it depended on the mood of the brother Gaddafi Still we don't know anything Updates : It turned out that there were two Libyan cit

This reminds me with my favorite Novel "Congo" I got the book and it is far more interesting than the film ,I found the novel in some Egyptian Bookstore specialized in selling English novels in Mohendessin ,I guess near Gamal Abd El-Nasser school But there were not huge chimps but Gorillas , I wonder if they will find King Solemn's mines too in Congo !!?? Already as far as I know Crichton used the old myths he read about the King Solemn's mines and those strong apes who kill other creatures If this proves anything it will prove that "History becomes a legend,legend becomes a myth" For years Scientist thought it was a legend but it turned to be true thing and yes here is the book from Amazon , take my advice if you live abroad and buy it , it is not an ad more it is a recommendation ,
Cairo 2050 2007-07-20 03:53:00 The latest show starring Gamal Mubarak was a sudden conference called "Cairo
2050" The conference was about the future plans for Cairo ,the capital of Egypt till the year 2050 Future planning is very important in any country and it is good to see that the officials are doing it but again what is the role of Gamal Mubarak in this planning officially ?? He is a only the general secretary of the policies committee in the NDP , anyhow we all know that he is ruling Egypt unofficially Ironically after the news coverage of the event ,I met many people who had one question , in fact it was a reflection for their fear "Is he going to rule us till the year 2050 ??!!" Another nightmare , not only the present or the near future but the far future Not our kids but our grand children too Another question "Is he going to plan for Future Cairo so he can sell it ?? Another question "Is he going to make Cairo for rich only??" These sarcastic questions are reflection for what the Egyptian Peo
The Free man"Part 1" 2007-07-23 16:38:00 This is a long, very long post and I am sorry I can not summarize it “I though they were free but they turned to be evil” Mohamed Naguib, the first president of Egypt in his memories first published in 1984 The First Egyptian President on the Time's cover The cover story of the Time edition on the 8th of September 1956 Only one man made me respect the coup of 1952, only one man made me re-think again about the 6 principals of that coup that turned in to revolution Only one man made me believe that they are not bad and they can be great if they were implemented in the correct way Only one man made me hate the revolution That man was the first Egyptian President General Mohamed Naguib For years many Egyptians believed that the First Egyptian President to Rule Egypt since the time of Pharaohs was Gamal Abd El-Nasser thanks to the orders that were given to erase the name of that man from the Egyptian history, not even from the history books but also everything related to his s
The Revolution and Me 2007-07-23 04:17:00 Some may think that I am a royalist girl who is crying day and night for the lost monarchy thanks to my hobby in tracing the images of the Egyptian Royals, but this is not true, believe it or not I believe in the principals of the Egyptian Revolution and I believe that it happened as a result of the terrible situation that had preceded it from corruption It was just going happen sooner or later, a matter of time Again when I will say that I believe in the principals of the Egyptian Revolution but I am not with most of the Revolution officers’ vision of how these principals would have been achieved, in fact you will be surprised that they did not achieve any principal from the famous 6 “3 Establishing and 3 demolishing as we were taught in history “ I do not need to speak about the failure of the Egyptian army in the 1956 first test and I don’t need to speak about the catastrophe that happened 10 years later to prove that the Free officers did not establish a power
In the eve of the revolution 2007-07-22 14:38:00 On that day in this moment from 55 years ,the Free officers were preparing for their coup that changed not only the course of this country's history but the history of the region , in this eve no Egyptian except of course those few young men ,knew that next day there would be coup and no Egyptian except also those few young men wanted a coup or revolution
,the only wish most Egyptians had was to have back the Wafad back in cabinet Yet after 55 years from the revolution and radical transitions Egypt faced since it had taken place ,Some Egyptians now wish for another revolution !! And believe me it is not the some but I believe if any coup or revolution is going to take place ,most Egyptians will welcome it even more than the welcome of those who lived 1952, despite they know very much that the revolution days were not the best nor its decision , they know very well it is not the best option for democracy but there is one thing they want this revolution to happen that is :Nat

Islam in America: A Special Report From the Newsweek Magazine 2007-07-26 07:02:00 The Newsweek
is presenting a special report this week about Islam
and Muslims in America
It is very interesting despite it may not be fair or giving the complete true picture yet it still interesting and worth reading because I believe it is from the rare in depth look in the Muslim community in America There are Muslims who are participating in writing this special report by the way , one of them is Daisy Khan who I remember from the American documentary "Muhammad:Legacy of a prophet" The good thing in the coverage that it can be considered a real American confession that the American Muslim society is suffering despite what it had been and still is presenting to this country , I do believe that they are the real victims but they were not the only community that suffered from discrimination in the American history thought In the coverage they covered very important problems like the lack of American born Emams and the Internet extremis Read more:Special

in Egypt
and from the first session in the trial it seemed that we are going to have one hell of a trial ,the surprises trial if you want to describe it , as you see in Mahla today there were lots of surprises The first surprise to me was that Hend and her family did not attend the trial The second surprise was the Forensic official final report which included bombs : 1-Hend is not 11 years old ,not according to her female organs like we discussed here in the blog but according to the bones and dental examination which proves she is between 15 or 16 years old despite her birth certificate 2-Mena Allah the little baby is not the daughter of the accused according to the final DNA test , of course we knew this before but we waited to the trial 3-Hend's lawyer left in the middle of the trial In the end it seems that the young man that i

The Free man "Part 2" 2007-07-24 15:00:00 Now this is the second part about the Free man General Mohamed Naguib, it is not longer like the first part by the way President Naguib was an exile inside in his own country; he even heard his own death news in the international radio stations based on a reliable source in Cairo in 1966, his sons and wife paid the price, the price of reminding the people with Naguib His wife died and Nasser did not let him to attend his funeral, do you know that?? Do you know how tough it is to see your sons get killed and humiliated because of you!!?? In 1968 his second son Ali was killed in Germany, he was the head of the Arab students union and activist for the Arab causes, in one night he was found killed after being beaten to death, his body came to Cairo and buried yet his own father did not say good bye to him or even they let just visit at night his son tomb so he can read the Fatah on his soul ,Ali was used to be called {the Cowboy} by his father “The General blamed Nasser and accused his

in the financial year 2006/2007 , the financial official year in Egypt ends in July There is a good rise in the profits and returns from last year 2006 for about 17% Great thing and it is an expected thing , I admit from the few thing I respect President Nasser for is the Nationalization of the Canal yet the big question where shall these 4.168 billion dollars go ?? On what project will they be spend exactly ?? because if we transferred them to E.P we will find ourselves in front of huge billions that can really help this country I won't say more except I just wish that the government takes only 100 million E.P from that number and I said E.P to invest it in the water infrastructure in Egypt !!
