Usually, I discard stupid hate mail but every now and then I publish one just to remind myself and others what the world is up against. The next one won't be posted.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-3598815436091790882013-08-17T19:15:16.768+02:002013-08-17T19:15:16.768+02:00I am shocked to see how the men are killing each o...I am shocked to see how the men are killing each other on the streets. I have never seen dumb, ignorant people like Arabs in my life. On top of this they are claiming that they are fighting for Islam. No you are not fighting for Islam. You are fighting for hell. <br />To me it seems you are either so ignorant as to what Islam is or you think this is so much fun to be on the streets killing each other. No one as a leader is going to do any good for any one of you. Each leader no matter who is going to pocket the money and ignore the country. If all of you were smart you would get together and clean up the mess and dirt on your streets. Don't die for any corrupt leader there. Not worth it. <br />Sorry Maryanne I had to put my thoughts on your blog, but honestly , it makes me sick when they do such horrible things. They don't even know what Islam is and what it teaches.

According to what I've read, voter turnout was not stellar at the first democratic election. I was actually quite surprised that the rural farmers were also hugely participating in the petition. <br /><br />CBC radio has been following the activity in Egypt very closely and we (who listen to the CBC) are intently paying attention to what is going on. I'm very heartened to read what you have just written.<br /><br />I love the dream analogy. It is beautiful. I have great optimism for the people of Egypt. Just to realize that in a population of 84 million where almost half of the population is under age 24, 22+ million people signed the petition! It is entirely unprecedented.<br /><br />The Ayatollahs hijacked the Iranian revolution. The Muslim Brotherhood have not been successful in hijacking the Egyptian revolution. I'm relieved that the supreme court judge has been placed at the head of government and not a general. The Egyptian army is a well disciplined force. We are all watching and hoping for the best outcome.Gabriella Kadarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294468426599703416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-30515361439890659692013-07-05T21:44:25.723+02:002013-07-05T21:44:25.723+02:00it was wonderful to get your perspective as a non ...it was wonderful to get your perspective as a non Egyptian living in Egypt.
