Hooters in Dubai 2007-06-22 06:43:00 oh BOY OH BOY OH BOY Hooters
restaurants are going to open a branch in Dubai
thanks to a Kuwaiti investor ,the Arab world is going to be served with hot mamas with big boobs !!?? Do I need to start my day with this sort of silly news ?? I mean before this great achievement I read that the American forces in Iraq found an Orphanage with children starving ,it may not be related but .. what can I say ?? I won't speak about it from a religious point of view because it is already known ,in fact I think no religion would accept this but I will speak about it from a feminist point of view Is not this a humiliation to women ?? Another question why this man is so eager to open this chain here ?? Ironically he wanted to open it in Beirut but thank goodness the Lebanese capital is having enough troubles and thus it was saved What I am afraid of is that this chain restaurant in Dubai can be a cover up for prostitution , do not forget Dubai is considered a hot spot , a dangerous one
The best 15 Egyptian films in 100 years 2007-06-21 18:05:00 I forgot to mention them in the previous post but here are they the best 15 Egyptian
films in 100 years chosen by 20 critics 1. The Mummy by Shady Abd El-Salam in year 1975 starring Nadia Lotfy and Mohamed Marr'i "Well it is not like the American Mummy for sure , it is much serious ,to put it in simple words it story happens in the 19th century and the tomb raiding in Luxor , it was highly received inside and outside Egypt , this is the only long film for Abd El-Salam before his death , Abd El-Salam was mad about ancient Egypt , already if you watch Cleopatra then you must know that the man who designed the entrance of Cleopatra in Rome was him , he had another fantastic short movie called "The wise peasant" based upon the famous ancient Egyptian story with the same name , he died while preparing for his long film about the life of king Akhenaton" 2. The sin by Henry Barkat in year 1965 starring Fatan Hamma and Abdullah Guith "Not cheerful at all , I think it was based upon Yo

Dahlan is against Egypt !!?? 2007-06-20 07:25:00 I am not surprised really if that is turned to be true because this is an original Fatah legacy that is inherited from one generation to another , I mean President Arafat may God bless his soul used to praise Egypt
and Egyptian in Cairo in one day and on the other day he would go to Amman or Damascus to curse the Egyptians and the day they came to the surface of the earth so it is not strange to find that Dahlan is helping Al-Qaida group to infiltrate Sinai and attack us Also I am not surprised with what Omar Soliman did from calling Dahlan to Cairo not letting him ago till Hamas had a full control on Gaza , this is not included in the link below In the last days several sources were saying that president Mubarak had meeting with both Omar Soliman and the interior minister Habib El-Adali both warned from the dangers of letting Fatah militias to enter Egypt with their weapons , we are already having enough problems in North Sinai to have them too The big surprise Read more:against
Please publish the dirty laundry 2007-06-19 13:43:00 I read this news some where it seems that Israel and behind it Fatah are asking Egypt to interfere at Hamas leadership to stop them from publishing the secret documents they found in the Palestinian Intelligence It seems that Hamas after the control of Gaza found thousands of secret documents that would expose the dirty
face of Fatah corrupted members The documents according to the reports are not about the Israeli-Fatah relations ,there are other reports regarding internal political and economic corruption Well I wish that Hamas goes and publishes all these documents to the public to prove how those so-called leaders like Dahlan and Co. don't deserve the sainthood they claim They must publish it for the sake of the Palestinian people who were and are robbed on a daily basis They must publish it for the whole world in order to let the world know exactly who is working for the real sake of the Palestinian people del.icio.us tags: Palestine, Hamas, Fatah, Middle East, politics, Isr Read more:Please
Should it have reached to this?? 2007-06-19 12:48:00 The one who follows the Palestinian News will be amazed with the rapid warm international welcome for the new Fatah Friendly cabinet ,the United States and EU decided to open the negotiations ,no more political and economic embargo on the Palestinians , sorry to be specific the Palestinians in the west bank not the Palestinians ion Gaza , there is a two states now One is in the west bank and the other is in Gaza One is a west friendly ,the other is west hostile , bad one Of course I didn't mention how Olmert is very happy with the new cabinet , the man is acting as if he is really going to achieve Peace , well sure he is in a desperate need to improve his position in Israel , yet there is one problem the missiles won't stop and the operations won't stop and that's why the return of Ehud Barack in the picture is not a surprise to me "despite we can't forget his huge fiasco in El-Aqsa Intifida". I am sorry but don't expect this Fatah new cabinet to have success in any t

For Al-Aqsa Mosque in the 40th anniversary of the six days war 2007-06-17 11:00:00 We are all speaking about the Egyptian and Syrian losses in the six days war 40th anniversary and forgetting the most important loss of all in that war Jerusalem ,old Jerusalem , for this I decided not to speak about our failure to protect the holy city again but instead I decided to share with you something I found from quite a time and I think it is great The Panoramic inside view of Al-Aqsa Mosque , the furthermost Mosque, the third holiest Place for the Muslims where they should Pilgrim to Most people don't know how the mosque looks from inside , already they are confused the Mosque , the Dome of the rock , the famous trick move one of my Christian friend made me realize from several years that the Israelis intended to make us forget about the real Mosque ,concentrate on the Dome of the rock as if it were Al-Aqsa Mosque at least for the young generations Anyhow here is a link from the Visual Dhikr graphics company please enjoy the virtual trip because it is so bea
About Palestine and our wasted money 2007-06-17 10:13:00 I watched the circus that happened in Palestine
sorry the Palestinian territories in Gaza as till now officially there is no Palestinian state recognized internationally or even nationally !! This is one hell of a show full of great surprises The biggest surprise of all wasn't the fall of the Fatah forces which are more than Hamas's in front of the Islamic militia , no I expected this and surely it wasn't the western and also Arabic rejection for Hamas taking over the rule in Gaza The biggest surprise of all for me is to find now today morning in the Dostor newspaper that Egypt was spending money on the Fatah forces,this is not America's money , no it is beside the American money , our own money was spent on Fatah's losers and they even couldn't stand in front of Hamas and escaped to the Egypt thanks to the Israeli Navy from Gaza !! Are we so damn rich to repeat the same old game of Gamal Abd El-Nasser to support losers here and there politically and militarily from own mon
No Nokia Nseries 95 in Egypt for security reasons 2007-06-17 08:52:00 This is worth mentioning because according to it there is not a censorship on media and opinion in Egypt
but also on Mobile phones too!! As you see according to this news in arabic to the Nokia
Mobile phone Model N 95 is not going to be available in the markets in Egypt for security
reasons !! It seems the king of the N-series can hack to some national security systems !! And that's why it won't be available for public display !! Here is the N95 website in Nokia I decided to see it by myself Nokia Nseries

We should be careful too 2007-06-16 23:36:00 In that CNN news report , One of the officials in America says that if there was a new dangerous drug in Texas , the parents in New York , must be careful from it and I would say that no sir if there is a new drug in Texas , we must be careful from it in Egypt Deadly $2 heroin aimed at young teens - CNN.com Seriously I am not kidding , Drugs are very dangerous and I don't need to speak about their spread in Egypt and knowing that there are new kinds of drugs like that kind of Cheese scares anyone. What I am afraid of is that some rich spoil brut from Egypt can bring that stinky cheese to Egypt and the way to smuggle it are many and it would be the new meal for high seekers in Marina this summer I don't need to speak about the drug stamps or other types of drug tablets and how they reached to Egypt Some interesting life history fact is that the first Anti-drugs department in police in the world was in Egypt , they were celebrating its anniversary from couple years You know I must s
Beckham deserves it more 2007-06-16 09:42:00 when I read the news regarding the strange decision of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II to honor infamous Salman Rushdie with a knight title , he will be a sir for his achievements ,I wondered exactly what achievements he made for the UK to make him deserve this title ??!! This man brought nothing to UK except hate from the Islamic world , I won't start the ill talk about whether he deserves to be killed or not , I am not with this extremist ill fatwas simply because since the Islam came down to earth and there were those who kept suspecting in it and its prophet ,they went away and were forgotten but the Islam and its prophet are still there In fact I believe the killing fatwas served Rushdie very well , he would n't be that international if they were n't issue Anyhow back to the crazy knighthood decision , I am sorry but I don't know exactly how these decisions are taken but this can affect the Islamic-British in a very bad way this is not the Beatles band member,this i Read more:Beckham

And Now it is Al-Zobair's shrine !! 2007-06-15 14:49:00 I can't find good words to describe my anger and sadness for the bombing of Al-Zobair's Shrine and Mosque in Iraq today. I feel more sad because I spoke about this before and now it happens again and it is not two clerics but it is Al-Zobair Believe it or not I don't care to know if it is considered a Sunni or Shiite Mosque because in the end it is a Mosque for God and as far as I still know we worship the same God , even the man was buried in that shrine was from the early Muslims , sorry for the Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" companions who can not be classified as Sunni or Shiite but as a Muslim Not like any Muslim by Talhah Ibn Al-Zobair whose shrine was bombed today in Basra was from the 10 companions who Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" said that they will go to heaven ,of course I don't need anyone to tell me that the radical Shiites don't like others in the list and thus this can be a Shiite act especially knowing what some of them may think regarding him but they are
Rude Affleck 2007-06-15 07:21:00 Strangely I never like this actor , but I was surprised when I found this video ,this is very rude to describe your political opponents this way ,very disgusting and vulgar !! BY the way for those who don't know Affleck studied Middle east history in Harvard university along with some Arabic lessons Also his wife the Alias star Jennifer Garner is going to cause some stress in the Arab world next September with the release of her film along with Jamie Fox "The Kingdom" which is about a group of F.B.I agents investigating a series of murder and terrorist attacks against the Foreigners in Riyadh ,in IMDB they identify KSA as a hostile country !! To tell you the truth I never like Affleck especially after Giggly and I don't know why on earth Garner would leave Michael Vartan for that rude person !!

Sorry who is Soad Massi in the first place ?? !! 2007-06-14 21:33:00 Several Egyptian bloggers including some of the people I know and respect are doing this campaign to boycott the coming concert of Soad Massi , the Algerian singer in Cairo in the day of Music or "le Fete du Music" and pardon my English keyboard The woman with a sweet voice whom I only knew from couple of months thanks to my dear friend Sherif is going to have a tour in the middle east , they thought it would be a tour in the Arab world , as she is going to Algeria then Alexandria then Cairo then Abu Dhabi ,Jordan and Ramallah " as if the Palestinians were having no internal fights!!" but they discovered that the lady is going to end her tour in Tel Aviv !! And it was the disaster ,the shock for my dear blogger friends who hate Israel and see as a symbol for terrorism in the area and thus they decided to launch some kind of campaign to boycott the Bossa Nova Arabian Singer With my all respect I don't give a damn if she sings in Tel Aviv or in Mars
Save the Iraqi mosques,Save the Iraqi history 2007-06-14 08:30:00 I don't know what kind of a terrorist group is that that claims to be a defender of Islam and the savior of the Sunni in Iraq and at the same it destroys mosques and shrines !! I know that according in the time of war "not in Peace" it is prohibited to touch any temple or a church as they are the houses of God so I think the prohibition includes also mosques ,I forgot to tell you that prohibition is mentioned in holy Quran and in the Prophetic Quotes of Prophet Mohamed "PBUH" directly so there is no excuse No excuse for what is happening in Iraq for a systematic destruction that happen for the smallest mosque to the biggest shrine whether Sunni or Shiite , well I don't what the difference between them after all they are for one propose are not they !!?? Last night two Shiite shrines were bombed and today another two Sunnis mosques were destroyed , yes I know very they were not the first and they won't be the last in this on going civil war in Iraq,it is from t Read more:Iraqi
Good slap for the member of human rights council 2007-06-14 06:45:00 Wow this is a big slap for the new elected member of human
rights council in the united Nations aka Egypt The American congress decided to decrease the amount of aid that America gives to Egypt by 200 million American dollar as an objection of the Egyptian regime acts towards the human rights in Egypt Oh boy , I imagine the national newspapers will say that it is a Zionist attempt to blackmail us and they did this because Michael Mounir spoke in front of some committee about the so-called Oppression and the annual department state report contains paragraphs about Baha'is' and homosexuals and ... First of all as an Egyptian citizen , I confirm to you that we don't this aid at all , at least now ,already most of it was stolen Second of all also an Egyptian citizen I confirm to you that I refuse to be blackmailed because of Michael Mounir or the Baha'is' with all my respect to them or the homosexuals Third and the most important thing as an Egyptian citizen I confirm to you
Empty Space 2007-06-13 22:24:00 From few days ago I found a strange news that makes anyone wonder whether to laugh or to cry , the sort of news that confirms the fact that Al-Mutanabbi was a man of wisdom not only a man of poetry when he had described Egypt as the land that has a many things that cause the one to laugh ,a laugh that is more like a cry. The merry news for the people of the valley of the Nile was that the President is going to open the first Egyptian Space
center in the next couple of days !! A space center ,for astronomy and space research !! on TV the national one of course they kept repeating over and over that at last we joined the space club ,horrray people of the valley of the Nile Cheer up Egypt You are going to be a member in the Space Club Ok enough being sarcastic and let's be analytical Do we really need a space center in Egypt ?? How much does this space center cost ?? Did all our troubles and problems , deadly problems finish in Egypt so we can have a space center&n Read more:Empty
Safari for windows so what ?? 2007-06-13 17:06:00 At last after long time Safari
, the famous Apple browser is now can be used on Windows OS , of course this is another bad news for IE and MS , a new competitor has just arrived exactly from two days ago I was so interested in testing it , already I always read about its capabilities and thus without any introductions I downloaded and installed it To tell you the truth I am not that impressed seriously after all I am using IE,FF and Opera and thus I don't find anything interesting in it , its speed is normal and on the contrary I am so angry that the software giant didn't support Arabic as it should be in its software !! May be it is my computer ,but this is how any Arabic page looks in Safari Click on the image below Of course I won't be fair or honest if I say that I wasn't impressed by the CSS capabilities in Safari after reading in its developer site,it is quite impressive with lots of CSS3 goodies,the Websites with CSS goodies look great in it ,still the Arabic l
The Second Syrian to the Knesset in less than three months 2007-06-13 07:15:00 Syrian opposition member: Make peace with people, not Assad - Haaretz - Israel News This is less than three months when a second Syrian figure from the opposition abroad goes to the Knesset
and says to them make Peace with the People and not AssadThis time he is not claiming to be a special envoy like Ibrahim Soliman for President Al-Assad, but instead he calls the MK to make Peace with the People not Assad ,I don't know how as the People are ruled with the Assad family !!This is gentle man is Farid GhadryAnd strangely he is famous with his relations with the conservatives in Bush administration !!I don't know if there is a coincidence in the date or not , I am not speaking about the 40th anniversary of the six days war but I am speaking that this sudden visit comes at the same time we hear about the Israeli Proposal for Peace to Syria ,Interesting is n't it ?? but is this not a sign of contradiction , I mean the Israeli cabinet and Olmert are trying to encourage the Syrian regim Read more:Second
And your official media praises him !!?? 2007-06-24 08:13:00 Sometimes I don't understand this regime at all , it seems to me that it is sending mixed signals as if there are two states , I mean read what is below and wonder like me what the attack on Hamas in public media
day and night and not on Fatah !! Still with the scandals of Fatah and their man Dahlan , it seems that Hamas began to work with my advice still not publicly but they decided to share the documents they found in the Palestinian intelligence after their control on Gaza with the Egyptian intelligence. Documents that are still proving that Mr. Dahlan or what ever his title is was working against Egypt and its national security , I know it is some how an old news but ... Listen to this beside helping Al-Qaida group to get in Egypt and to do what they are good at and that is terrorism , if you remember the famous Sinai victory days blasts from two years "you check it in the archive" Well it seems that Mr. Dahlan was having a very good relations with the American C.I.A and the Is
The Satanic sir 2007-06-23 22:12:00 Now the Islamic world from the East and West is angry from the UK due to the strange decision to honor infamous Salman Rushdie , huge protests in Pakistan and Indonesia , silence in Saudi Arabia and a shy condemnation in my country Egypt with a telegram from the parliament ,the only country to my surprise seemed to be concerned with the matter was Pakistan which informed UK that this Honour is breaking UN resolution 1624 issued in year 2005 and guess concerning what "War on terrorism" {I admire this person who got this paragraph} , the violation of the resolution is here {people of the World are just like the people of Egypt ,they don't read the UN resolutions and thus they don't know their rights} Calls upon all States to continue international efforts to enhance dialogueand broaden understanding among civilizations, in an effort to prevent the indiscriminate targeting of different religions and cultures, and to take all measures as may be necessary and appropriate and in accordanc
DA Vinci code "the movie" 2007-05-05 14:49:00 At last I saw the movie
itself legally already I was from the lucky people who put their hands on an original copy from the Novel before its banning whether literally or cinematically in Egypt I bought a pirate copy from the movie from few months in order to watch it , but to say the truth many things happened in life made me forget that there was a film CD over my shelf with that name till I found that it was going to be aired exclusively in the middle east through the Showtime network in its Pay for view Home cinema service and I just couldn't resist the temptation. I won't speak about the novel or the plot but I will speak about the movie I think it is good despite that there were some difference between the film script and the novel,some I understand why and some other I don't understand why like in the end that Sophie will discover that she is not the grand daughter of the Louvre Curator,also I don't understand why they neglect the surveillance room that French Police wo Read more:Vinci
Norbit 2007-04-27 22:16:00 N.B this is an old post I wrote from of couple of weeks ago It had been very long time when I watched a real funny film in the cinema, today I watched the film "Norbit
" in the Nile city cinema, my favorite ,since its opening I always go there , I left "Galaxy" for Good despite I think I will go to it soon insh Allah to catch the "300". Anyhow Norbit is a comedy starring famous Eddie Murphy and beautiful Thandie Norton with other famous black American comedians . To tell you the truth I am not a huge fan for Eddie Murphy but I can't deny that he has a great talent to make you laugh and another great talent to imitate different personalities , not every actor has this talent but he has got and he succeeded in doing it in the two parts of " The Nutty Professor " and he is doing it even better in Norbit , why it is better well in the "Nutty Professor" he was presenting a similar set of characters ,the fat eat lovers of Klumps family , while in "Norbit" he is p
