Confidence / Trust / Hope

CONFIDENCE
Once, all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an Umbrella, that's Confidence

TRUST
Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air, he laughs...... because he knows you will catch him; that's Trust

HOPE
Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still you have plans for the coming day; that's Hope

KEEP CONFIDENCE, TRUST OTHERS & NEVER LOSE HOPE
INSHALLAH ……… WILL GET SUCCESS

ICE ..........In Case of Emergency

We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/ numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?

In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending us get hold of our mobile phone but don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are many numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.

Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.

As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a contact person or person who should be contacted at during emergency as ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call.

He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialling the number stored as "ICE".

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before every body will know about this.

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today! Please forward to your all nearest and dearest....

HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK

DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

DON'T SLEEP WITH CELL PHONE
Putting the cell phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is not encouraged. Though some of us will use cell phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore, if you need to put your cell phone near you, switch it off first.

TIPS FOR LADIES

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE-UP
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run. Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

Wishing you all a happy healthy life

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! . He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.

What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.

Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away.

Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you REACH bedtime.

And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

SAMPLE OF A MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dearest Samantha,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since Tuesday, the 17th of August 2001.

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 17th of August 2001 at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of no less than three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broad-minded enough, to be taken care of, on you r expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be canceled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely, Max




MODERN REPLY TO MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dear Max,

Please refer to your letter dated today. I am pleased to inform you that I hope to accept your proposal for romance.

However, you should be informed that there are certain conditions of acceptance. Promotional prospects are to my satisfaction. However, please enlighten me as to your retirement benefits. Gratuity should be generous.

I also need to be assured that there is sufficient security with regards to this commitment. If there is any chance at all of retrenchment or consequent disinterest on your part, then I should receive monetary compensation according to union standards.

Due to the nature of my position, I am sure you will agree that an expense account should be arranged for my access in light of the 'VIP'. I shall be entertaining. In addition, housing and transport allowances should be in order and nothing less than a Jaguar is in order.

Please also note that there should be no moonlighting restrictions placed on myself. If you are still interested in the relationship, please reply on an urgent basis as other prospective lovers have sent indications of interest.

Please also note that my sister is happily employed.

Yours perhaps, Samantha!

STOP SENDIN ME STUPID CHAIN LETTERS!!!!!!!!

Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor fucking 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to the traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send his email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy Bunny in the magazine! What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

So basically, this message is a big **** YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Ceaser in 5 A.D. and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, it'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity.

**** them!

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly fucking amusing. I've seen all the 'send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a Nickel from some omniscient being forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own unpopularity.

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:

Chain Letter Type 1:

(scroll down)
Make a wish!!!

Keep Scrolling

No, really, go on and make one!!!

Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!!

Wish something else!!!

Not that, you pervert!!

STOP!!!!

Wasn't that fun?

Hope you made a great wish

Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure.

It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Really!!! Here's how it goes:

*Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

*Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

*Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life.

*Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will napalm your house.
Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

Chain Letter Type 2

Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund.

Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds.

Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly.

Thanks again!!

Chain Letter Type 3

Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do.

So this is how it works... Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

*Bizarre Horror Story #1

Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!

*Bizarre Horror Story #2

Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity.

This Could Happen To You Too!!! Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.

Chain Letter Type 4

As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote.

Send it to all your friends.

FRIENDS:

A friend is someone who is always at your side.

A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit, and your breath smells like you've been eating catfood.

A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of assholes.

A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself.

A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life. A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by mad goats, then thrown to vicious dogs.

A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English...no, sorry that's the cleaning lady.

A friend is NOT someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.

Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again!

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years, whose only savior is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, otherwise you'll end up like Miranda. Right?

I came across 6 blogs via GulfNews.com, I thought I'll share it with you'll.

go fish!

A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 15 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The husband thought for a moment and replied,.. "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I go fishing.

ADHAM ELOKSH, a German cartoonist, origonally from Egypt and born in United Arab Emirates.

لماذا يلبس الطبيب اللون الأخضر في غرفة العمليات ..؟

عالم الالوان عالم فسيح مليء بالاثاره وله اثار فاعلة على النفس البشرية ...
فمثلا لو سألت احدا عن سبب ارتداء الاطباء للون الاخضر في غرف العمليات؟ لاجابك ان اللون الاخضر لون السلام والطمأنينة وما الى ذلك لا ننكر هذا ولكن السبب مختلف تماما...
وقبل ان اوضح السبب فهناك معلومات يجب معرفتها عن عالم الالوان ليسهل الوصول الى السبب في ارتداء الاطباء لهذا اللون :
اولا . هناك الوان اساسية ...
والوان فرعية ...
ولوان متوافقة (وهي محور حديثي)..
والوان متنافرة....
والوان حارة ....
والوان باردة .

الالوان التى تنطلق من قاعدة (( الالوان الاساسية )) هي
الاحمر والازرق والاصفر وهذه الالوان هي اللتي نخرج منها بجميع الالوان...
فعلى سبيل المثال .. اذا اردنا الحصول على اللون الاخضر فاننا نمزج اللونين الاصفر والازرق ..
واذااردنا الحصول على اللون البرتقالي فاننا نمزج اللونين الاحمر والاصفر..
واذا اردنا الحصول على اللون البنفسجي فاننا نمزج اللونين الاحمر والازرق..
اما اللونين الاسود والابيض فهما لونين محايدين يستعملان لتفتيح اللون وتقتيمه ..


وحتى لا نبتعد كثيرا عن الموضوع...
فان ناتج خلط لونين اسا سيين يتوافق مع الثالث وهذا التوافق يريح العين وهذا ما اردت الوصول اليه..
فاللون الاخضرهو ناتج مزج اللونين الازرق والاصفر ..


اذا فاللون الاخضر الفرعي يتوافق مع اللون الاحمر الاساسي ..
وكيفية التوافق ان العين عندما تطيل النظر للون معين فانها بعد ذلك تبحث تلقائيا عن اللون الموافق له .


ولنقم بتجربة عملية ..
وهي ان نطيل النظر لصحيفة باللون الاصفر لمدة تقارب الدقيقتين ..
ونلاحظ ما هو اللون الذي سيلوح امام اعيننا اذا حولنا نظرنا الى صحيفة بيضاء ..
قطعا سيكون اللون البنفسجي ..!!


وهذا بالنسبة لنا ونحن لم نطيل النظر ...
فكيف بالطبيب الذي ينظرالى لون الدم الاحمربالساعات وعلى مدى السنوات..
فعندما يرفع الطبيب نظره عن المريض في غرفة العمليات تلقائيا ستبحث عينه عن اللون الاخضر ..
وحتى تكون عين الطبيب مرتاحة ولا ينعكس ذلك سلبا على نفسيته بفطرته البشرية ...
البسوه اللون الاخضر لانه هو الموافق مع اللون الاحمر .



اللون الأخضر في القرآن
====================


ما أكثر ما يرد لفظ الخضرة في آيات القرآن الكريم و التي تصف حال أهل الجنة أو ما يحيط بهم من النعيم في جو رفيع من البهجة و المتعة و الاطمئنان النفسي ،فنجد في سورة الرحمن : ( متكئين على رفرفٍ خضرٍ و عقبريٍ حسان ) 76 .


و في سورة الإنسان ( عاليهم ثياب سندسٍ خضر ٌ و إستبرق و حُلوا أساور من فضةٍ و سقاهم ربهم شراباً طهوراً ) 21 .و في سورة الكهف ( و يلبسون ثياباً خضراً من سندس و إستبرق ) 31 .


يقول أحد علماء النفس و هو أردتشام : ' إن تأثير اللون في الإنسان بعيد الغور و قد أجريت تجارب متعددة بينت أن اللون يؤثر في إقدامنا و إحجامنا و يشعر بالحرارة أو البرودة ،و بالسرور أو الكآبة ، بل يؤثر في شخصية الرجل و في نظرته إلى الحياة .


و يسبب تأثير اللون في أعماق النفس الإنسانية فقد أصبحت المستشفيات تستدعي الاخصاصيين لاقتراح لون الجدران الذي يساعد أكثر في شفاء المرضى و كذلك الملابس ذات الألوان المناسبة و قد بينت التجارب أن اللون الأصفر يبعث النشاط في الجهاز العصبي ، أما اللون الأرجواني فيدعو إلى الاستقرار و اللون الأزرق يشعر الإنسان بالبرودة عكس الحمر الذي يشعره بالدفء ووصل العلماء إلى أن اللون الذي يبعث السرور و البهجة و حب الحياة هو اللون الأخضر .


لذلك أصبح اللون المفضل في غرف العمليات الجراحية لثياب الجراحين و الممرضات . ومن الطريف أن نذكر هنا تلك التجربة التي تمت في لندن على جسر ( بلاك فرايار) الذي يعرف بجسر الانتحار لأن اغلب حوادث الانتحار تتم من فوقه حيث تم تغيير لونه الأغبر القاتم إلى اللون الأخضر الجميل مما سبب انخفاض حوادث الانتحار بشكل ملحوظ و اللون الأخضر يريح البصر ذلك لأن الساحة البصرية له أصغر من الساحات البصرية لباقي الألوان كما أن طول موجته وسطي فليست بالطويلة كاللون الأحمر و ليست بالقصيرة كالأزرق .
==============================
ومن هذه المعلومة ..هيا بنا ننطلق لاستعمال اللون الأخضر

No mass production for Genpets

I want to thank Mr. Muscati, for posting his comment about Genpets in my previous article ‘Bio-Genica against God,’ which pointed out that Genpets are not real.

Genpets are master piece created by Adam Brandejs, a Canadian Artist. He has mentioned in his website Brandejs.ca about Genpets:

And here are other posts about the same topic:

You can do it

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love,
Dad


Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
'For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!'

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: ' Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here.'

Why Some People Have All The Luck (worth reading!)

By Professor Richard Wiseman, University of Hertfordshire-


Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they
deserve?

A psychologist says he has discovered the answer.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.

The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behavior are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune. Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.

I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: 'Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50.'

This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.

As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

Towards the end of the work, I wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. I asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person.

Dramatic results! These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck.

One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened. The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier.

The lucky people had become even luckier and the unlucky had become lucky.

Finally, I had found the elusive 'luck factor'.

Here are Professor Wiseman's four top tips for becoming lucky:

1) Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right (yes indeed)
2) Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine
3) Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well
4) Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call.

Have a Lucky day and work for it.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.

Have a nice day!

Gumus (Noor)

Gumus is a Turkish drama series which broadcasted as ‘Noor’ in the Arab world by Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC). It is aired MBC 4, the free to air channel has created a series of stress and domestic violence as well as social tension.

Several divorces cases happened as most women are obsessed with the character Muhan’ad and Noor, by wanting one or more of the following:
  • Women want their husbands to romance them like the way Muhan’ad romances Noor.
  • Women wish to spend one night with Muhan’ad.
  • Women want their husbands to change their names to Muhan’ad.
  • Women want their husband go through cosmatic surgry to look like Muhan’ad.

Mr Muhan’ad has ruined allot of people’s lives.

The positive about Gumus or Noor that it attracted more tourists from the Arab world to Turkey.

Bio-Genica against God



Bio-Genica, Genetic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. is playing against God’s nature by creating Bioengineered buddy known as Genpet. As per Genpets Online Support - FAQ's, the fallowing question and answer raised:


Q. Are Genpets Real animals? How?
A. Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.


They should have donated for the poor people or invested in agriculture or providing green environment or in finding cure instead of spending millions of dollars for unnecessary pet, that will die between one two three years.

Marriage/fan ...

What is Marriage?

Based on Britannica as follows:

Marriage a legally and socially sanctioned union, usually between a man and a woman, that is regulated by laws, rules, customs, beliefs, and attitudes that prescribe the rights and duties of the partners and accords status to their offspring (if any). The universality of marriage within different societies and cultures is attributed to the many basic social and personal functions for which it provides structure, such as sexual gratification and regulation, division of labour between the sexes, economic production and consumption, and satisfaction of personal needs for affection, status, and companionship; perhaps its strongest function concerns procreation, the care of children and their education and socialization, and regulation of lines of descent. Through the ages marriages have taken a great number of forms.


I came across a married couple and by end of the year they are expecting their first new child. They haven’t agreed on naming the child if it is a boy.

They both don’t want to name him by their father’s name but the man wants to name him on his wife father’s name. their reasons are the same (repeated name in the family). He’s response “I am the one who will register the name in the birth certificate and you just carry the baby for nine months.” he repeated the same sentence several times and I was shocked to hear that. I tried to convince him that they should agree together on one name but he refused.

I realised that he was ignorant and didn’t respect his wife at all. He also didn’t understand what is marriage all about. He’s understanding is sex, have kids and bully her; and the history is repeating.



I don't know them..
Another incident of the same man, he took his childhood photo off the family frame, he didn’t want his in-laws to see it, he is either embarrassed about the photo.

My conclusion, he is embarrassed from his family and him self too. He is in confidence.

I have recently became addicted to articles written by Abdullah Al Amadi, a Qatari article writer in Al Watan, an Arabic Omani newspaper, he inspired me allot.

Egypt says ‘No for Shia’

The Egyptian internal affairs has called the Al Azhar scholars specialized in Shia Islam to educate people of the dengar of Shia Islam in Egypt .

Egypt as a Muslim state, it follows Sunni Islam and it’s not accepting Muslims to follow Shia Islam as a faith and accepting other religions to practice their faiths such as Christianity & Judaism as well as Druze faith. Egypt doesn’t want the Shia Muslim to have their own Masjid to perform their prayers and doesn’t want to recognise their existence in Egypt despite it‘s existence in most Arab and non-Arab countries.

I want to know is Egypt going to be the next Turkey?
