This has gotten rediculous,now a GRANDMOTHER SUICIDE BOMBER I as a muslim am embarrased by what muslims have been doing concerning Jihad, or just in general when they deal with any problem. Any good muslim know SUICIDE IN ANY FORM = ONE WAY TICKET TO HELL. Muslims have been acting like idiots around the world, embarrassing our religion...How could we ever expect to be called a peacful religion when we have crazy zeolots commiting Beheadings, suicide bombings and such things.??? This is against the teachings of the Quran and the prophet (PBUH).
We have a few stupid Sheikhs saying rediculous statements, such as the one that said "kill any jew you see" or the one who said "women are like a piece of meat" and those are just a few.... I even had some moron leave me a comment on one of my posts telling me we should expel all Christian copts from Egypt..i mean what a mindless retarded thing to say....How could we let those MORONS say such things that ABSOLUTELY CONTRADICT THE QuRan! We must take a STAND against those IDIOTS and CONDEMN THEM JUST AS MUCH AS WE CONDEMN ISRAEL, USA and so on..
How can animals in Baghdad behead another human being infront of a banner that said La Illah Illa Illah,and muslims around the world sit quite about it>>?? Iraqis are now killing eachother daily, over 100 dead every day, and we hear no condemming of it, we only hear about condemnation if one is killed by USA, how about the other 99!!?
After the insulting prophet cartoons the way some muslims reacted was rediculous, going to the streets burning things, holding banners that say slay the cartoonist, come on people, there are other ways to deal with such things, and not just confirm peoples believes that muslims are violent in the name of religion!!
Grandmothers doing sucicide bombings! And who would a suicide bomber most likely kill, INNOCENT PEOPLE, Not all Israelis agree with what their goverment does...ITS TIME TO WAKE UP AND STOP CALLING ALL JEWS PIGS AND MONKEYS, OUR PROPHET (PBUH) LIVED AMONG THE JEWS/CHRISTIANS and treated them with Respect, Salah El Deen our great warrior, also treated them with respect as any GOOD MUSLIM WOULD
We all know the horrible acts that are being commited against fellow muslims, and we all know its Unfair! but we must act like civilized HUMAN BEINGS and remember that every muslim has to represent Islam as it truly is... Some Palestinians are celebrating their kids suicide and grooming them to do that...WHY? >take a look at this PROUD FATHER
I will always stand by my word Islam is a Religion of PEACE....But remember actions are louder than words, and IF WE KNOW the media will probably only show the Bad Side, WHY GIVE THEM ONE!!!?
They currently say Islam is the fastest spreading Religion in the world....Now IMAGINE if Muslims hadn't been acting the way they have lately, How much Bigger Islam would be. I know those bad acts are not committed by the MAJORITY of muslims, but guess what,What we see is the Bad acts...so REFRAIN FROM DOING THEM

Israel kills 18 Palestinian Civilians
Why would they do THIS Abviousley Israel doesn not want peace, they want chaos...They have proved this in the Lebanon war and in their continued massacres of Palestinians. I used to be pretty liberal about Israel but now i'm gonna have to say FUCK ISRAEL! Ofcourse you won't see much of this report on the AMERICAN news, but for every action there is a reaction, so when the Palestinians react to this massacre it will be all over the news, ofcourse making the palestinians look like they started it all... I cannot imagine whats going through some of the relatives of the victims minds...Israel is creating more hard-liners every day, and thats what they want!!

King Farouk.
If you've read my last post, you'll see my point on how Egypt was much better off during the Rule of Fouad,Farouk, ect... "J" Left this as a comment regarding my Egypt PRE-COUPE' ERA Post!, it was a great comment summarizing King Farouks Rule.
"My parents always maintained that Farouk was extremely popular when he first became King. But lost it for four reasons. 1) His feuds with the Wafd party (He continually appointed minority governments). 2) Failure to stand up to the British when they surrounded the Abdin Palace with tanks and latter when they attacked the Ismailia barracks. 3) The continual corruption scandals 4) Defeat by Israel.
(Oh did I mention that he was fat?)
During Farouks reign there was freedom of the press (except when British censored it in WW2), free elections and generally no political prisoners (Except when the Wafd imprisoned the pro-axisgovt after the British overthrew the govt in February 1942).
Also, under the 15 Farouks rule the number of schools tripled.
Farouks big problem was details. He was not interested in them. When he appointed either minority parties or bureaucrats to form governments .he would leave the policies to them. He was notorious for telephoning individual ministers with ideas the middle of the night (often from a dinner party) and then leaving it to the minister to sort it out .with the added risk that the King might forget or ask about it six months later.
When forced to appoint a Wafd government (either by the British or popular opinion) he would sulk and spend the next couple of years ignoring them and partying.
The British were the biggest problem. They viewed Farouks 39-42 government as pro-nazi, which was an exaggeration .the Prime Minister tried to cut a deal with the Germans/Italians because it looked like the British were about to loose the war. As it was he became too obvious .and the then British ambassador surrounded the palace with tanks. He forced Farouk to re-appoint the Wafd. (Who thus screwed their credibility).
After that people were divided between those who felt sympathetic: that the King had no choice but concede to British demands and those who felt that he shouldhonorablehonourable thing by defying the British and being deposed.
Throughout the 1940s & early 50s there were a series of corruption scandals which involved politicians of all parties, senior bureaucrats and some minor members of the Royaskeptical A sceptical public saw the political establishment as increasingly venial and corrupt.
He dismissed that Wafd as soon as he could (1944?) and appointed another government of bureaucrats. They managed to negotiate a brilliant deal over the Canal .and what f*cked it? Sudan.laborritish Labour government offered to withdraw all British troops but wanted Sudanese self determination. The MB & Wafd wouldn't swallow that and so under pressure, Farouk rejected the deal (True!!!!). Then the 48 war with Israel and we lost.
I think that's when the MB started assassinating people in earnest .the Prime Minister anyway. (They'd killed a few judges in the forties ..oh sorry they never assassinate people, any brother who does, did it without orders(?!) or had just left the brotherhood, right I believe that).
Now here something Ive often thought: the army lost the war. They blamed the government (i.e. King Farouk A guy not interested in details). Now, the govt was THEN made up civilians .not solders. In fact they would have left all the military decisions to the army .how then did the King get the blame?!?!?
Ultimately, yes. He was head of state and had appointed the govt ..but the war was handled by the army and they lost ..yet every school book blames Farouk. Hmmm.
4 years later the military coup (sorry revolution) happens.
Straight after the war Farouk appointed the Wafd and goes off on a sulk and a bender.
The Wafd decide to tackle the British (they're no longer friends), both in the canal and in Sudan. Also they start the war of attrition against Israel.
The Wafd sponsor the freedom battalions to attack both military & civilian targets. (The Brits called them terrorists). The aim was to make life difficult for the 80K troops they had there .and eventually they'd go home.
BUT Churchill was now in British PM (Labour was out) and anxious to prove that their dying empire wasnt dead yet. The attacks were carried out by the Liberation Battalions which were organized by Egyptian Intelligence from the Ismailia Police Barracks. On 25th January 1952 the British Army tanks & troops entered Egyptian territory to disarm the Egyptian Police. They expected no resistance. Instead the police refused to surrender. A pitched battle followed, in which 4 British soldiers and 42 Egyptian policemen were killed.
Only the Interior Minister Serageddin publicly called for popular resistance. Neither King nor the rest of the Wafdist government supported him. Both were intimidated by 80,000 strong British garrison in the Canal Zone.
The Egyptian Army, which was then only 50,000 strong, stayed in its barracks(!) and the police fought alone.
Anti-British riots swept the country and the Wafd fell. Farouk was unable to find anyone who could form a stable government.
Four governments were formed and fell between 25th January & 23rd July 1952. It was during this chaos, when public opinion of both King and Parliament were at their lowest that the Free Officers Movement launched their Military Coup.
The Free Officers did inform the American Ambassador (Who informed the British) just before it happened. (Apparently, they'd heard that the military police were going to arrest them so decided to act first, but told the Americans to try and play them against the Brits)
Te British Ambassador & the Military commander of the Canal Zone requested instructions from London. These arrived fairly late and were not to interfere.
The British did not like Farouk.
On the whole, Id agree Farouk was much better than what followed. Yes, he appointed govts. That didnt have parliamentary majorities but he never interfered with elections nor ban political parties (MB and communists excepted) nor have political prisoners nor interfere with press freedom nor have censorship.
Perhaps if he had he might have lasted longer.
On the minus side: He was lazy, left too much to subordinates and (worstcrime) had an eating disorder.
Egypts Liberal Constitutional Monarchy 1921 to 1952 RIP.
We'd be under Faud II now."
