It seems the world is not ready for being able to see things in shades of gray. The US seems to just be trying to hard to find a bad guy and the world of Islam seems to be it right now. There is a great desire for simplifying things into good bad and black and white. This whole recent Quran burning threat here has really gotten me upset. I feel so grateful that I have been exposed to a wonderful perspective on Islam. Thank you for that. Take care RhondaRhonda C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11357741963160839409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-51824642339773629272010-08-28T17:59:57.766+02:002010-08-28T17:59:57.766+02:00As always, I really enjoy your insights.

We could use solar here in Southern California, too - it is expensive still tho and subsidies are minimal right now. Oh well - lived thru strange times before.sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-9165908260064677022010-08-27T09:59:10.830+02:002010-08-27T09:59:10.830+02:00Living in Canada is a minor step...same language, ...Living in Canada is a minor step...same language, similar history, same continent. Egypt is a major step and almost nothing is the same. FIRST, you need to learn the language (whether here or before you come), and do some serious study on the government websites to learn about the laws and such. It is indeed illegal for people to own guns as they are highly unnecessary for daily life. This is a very safe country. <br /><br />You have a lot of research ahead of you.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-7369780271355446432010-08-27T01:24:38.572+02:002010-08-27T01:24:38.572+02:00Hi I just found your blog and it is very interesti...Hi I just found your blog and it is very interesting. Right now I just turned 17 last Friday and I have become interested in Cairo lately. I have been wanting to take a trip and see the pyramids.<br />If there was ever a country I would want to live in outside the U.S. I would choose either Canada or Egypt. There is one question that I want to ask. Could you tell me some of the laws their if I plan live in Cairo one day? I know that it is illegal for a citizen to own a gun Heard that ona video from Youtube. Thanks if you do reply and sorry if this comment is too <br />longAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-64049431447819446642010-08-26T07:32:38.897+02:002010-08-26T07:32:38.897+02:00Egypt does have a large solar power plant in the w...Egypt does have a large solar power plant in the works!<br /><br />http://www.businessgreen.com/business-green/news/2264753/egypt-confirms-2010-launch<br /><br />But with all the power outage problems this summer, I wish the government would provide (financial) incentives for individuals and businesses to use solar water heaters and pumps - an easy way to start to ease the demand on the grid!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-73850474719636691422010-08-25T11:45:30.799+02:002010-08-25T11:45:30.799+02:00Thank you for sharing, Maryanne.
