Oh my, how minds and attitudes can shift in an opposite direction over the course of less than a century.
These were the days of tolerance... Egyptians never had a problem with "others", never were Xenophobics or fundamentalists until the Wahhabies occupied their minds with the worst one can find in a religion... Hatred for the others.
Egypt Guy, I beleive in past lives, and I am telling you, you used to be Jewish in a past life, I recommend past life regression hypnosis, it might answer some of my enigma about your concern for giving Jews their rights, of course any normal human being in his right mind should demand that Jews get their rights everywhere around the world specially in what is called "arab" countries. But you have a certain passionate feeling about it that is of course beautiful, and certainly worth noticing.
I love you boy and I am like you so think of past life regression. They'd get out of you some intresting stuff I guess.
luv,
you know who....
"you know who", I think I know who yeah (but I'm not sure tho?).. Thanks for your nice post.. I actually also think i might have been Jewish at some past life too...
