Do you know that we are the 3rd generation since pre-history that doesn't have "gawary" or "melk el yamin". For thousands of years men could legitimately have the right to have relations with women other than his wife. Now all that is over .. Is this good or bad news?! 
I don't think that the reaction of the Egyptians is exagerated as some people are claiming. I don't know if the word "glad' is appropriate here, but I am glad that at last we can show the world that terrorsim is not an Islamic or Arabic product, and our blood is not cheap or less important than the rest of the world.In August 2008 Alex W. abused Marwa in a Dresden playground as “islamist”, “terrorist” and “bitch”, obviously of her wearing an Islamic headscarf. According to some sources Alex W. stated “You don’t deserve to live.” This was the reason that the Public Prosecutor filed an appeal, to achieve a higher degree of penalty with regard to the open xenophobic background of the felony. When the appeal was in negotiation, Alex W. surprisingly stabbed Marwa 18 times and so killed her..
واتهم ألماني من أصل روسي عمره 28 عاما بقتل مروة الشربيني في محكمة بمدينة دريسدن خلال نظر استئناف حكم صدر ضده لادانته بسبها.
وقال مكتب المدعي العام في دريسدن ان المصرية التي كانت تقيم في دريسدن مرافقة لزوجها المبعوث لنيل درجة علمية تلقت على الاقل 18 طعنة بسكين كما تلقى زوجها الذي حاول صد الهجوم عليها ثلاث طعنات. كما أطلق رجل شرطة رصاصتين على قدم الزوج ظنا منه أنه المهاجم.
ويرقد علوي علي عكاز في المستشفى في دريسدن في حالة حرجة لنفاذ الطعنات الى رئته وكبده بحسب قول أقارب له في الاسكندرية ويقول أطباء في دريسدن ان حالته حرجة فعلا.
Although Michael Jackson hasn't been around for almost a decade, but I think he has contributed one way or another in shaping part of the artistic personality of my generation (1970s). The word pop-music is directly linked to MJ in my mind. I think MJ in western music, and Amr Diab in arabic music were the music icons of our generation.
How much money is enough? 
I realized that all the precautions to avoid Swine Flu are simply about "BEING CLEAN" and I also realized that the danger in Egypt is not because of the flu itself as much as not having the "being clean" culture.. I kept on thinking and I wondered Why aren't the majority of the Egyptian people in the 21st century clean? what have led to this? If the religions tell us to be clean, and all creatures care about being clean, so why aren't we? why are many of us: 
I am writing this while Obama is finishing his speech. I have to admit that the speech is integrated, impressive, & inclusive. 
I am really sad for the death of Mohamed Alaa Mubarak (12 years) the grandson of President Mubarak. Although Mubarak's regime has done lots of faults and I wish the day will come and see it down, but when it comes to the death of a child, I find myself extremely sympathising with the ruling family.
I was wondering, how far do we love ourselves?What does it mean that Obama after more than 100 days of thinking choose Egypt to address and reconnect the Muslim world?
Does this mean that the US see a potential in Egypt to rise and take its abdicated role again?
Does this mean that the US will ignore the authoritarian ruling issues that were the main point of conflict with the Bush admin.?
Does this mean that Egypt will be the bridge between the East and West?
Last and not least; does this mean that we will have June 4th as a vacation?! as having the US president in Cairo means 1 thing: COMPLETE PARALYSIS and it is better to stay home. Ya Rab make them decide to do it in Sharm :)
