OBAMA DOORMAN!!
We used to use the term (doorman) in Egypt to describe someone has a dark skin!
First I didn’t think it’s something against skin color and it’s just a name people gave for Nubians (dark skin) who live in north Egypt because they were almost exclusively control and have all jobs like doorman, cook, waiter and gardener for all rich people and British and all other Europeans lived in Egypt before 1952.
I was thinking while people call them that name they just meant that but I find out it’s not that what they meant.
They meant to put them down because of their jobs, and yes in Egypt your job is one important factor how people will treat you.
After 1952 the job of doorman becomes exclusively for people from Upper Egypt but they still call Nubians the doormen! Even that club in Alexandria, Egypt which most members are Nubians they call it doormen club!!
So the issue not just the job then there should be something else. The issue is their skin color that make others put them down and that exactly what called racism!
In Egypt the common view for Sudanese as extension of Nubian so for sure the same ideas apply for sundaes included seeing them silly( they don’t lie much as we do in Egypt) and flat mind (they have clear ideas not screwed like us in Egypt) and lazy (simply they don’t worship money as Egyptians).
It’s not unusual to hear people in Egypt while describe a Sudanese person without put him down use term like Sudanese BUT smart! Sudanese BUT has good heart! and for sure the most wonderful one in country like Egypt to hear that Sudanese BUT educated!!!!! Please I don’t want to talk about education in Egypt.
We in Egypt grow up with that idea put in mind we are better RACE than dark skin people whatever our blood belong to (Arab ,Turkish ,Berber –Moroccans ,etc)
Most of us just eat the idea as a loser find way to convince him/her self there are people less than them.
That explain why Egyptians are silent as Muslims about how Muslims in Africa live because they are black and not important.
That’s explaining why Egyptians feel humiliated if you call them Africans.
That’s even explain why in USA it’s very rare to see an Arab has friendship with a white American( I don’t say there is none but it’s not common) that because Arabs feel an easy dealing with white who are better but easier to deal with black who are less!!!!!!
After this it’s not surprising that Egyptians don’t respect OBAMA so much because he has dark skin! And not surprise at all to find out most Egyptians call him a DOORMAN.
For sure till I understand that point I used to say same words and use same terms so from here I APOLOGY for all dark skin if I used any word sound bad but believe me I didn’t really realize that then it’s a nation culture and for sure there are Egyptians still use it without realizing how bad it is but I believe we must face ourselves as first step for treatment
WE ARE RACISM

IS EGYPT IN AFRICA?REALLY!
WHILE ISLAM IS RELIGION OF NO RACISM AND NO RACE BETTER THAN ANOTHER,ITS ALL GOD WORK,GOD DON'T LOOK FOR YOUR COLORS AND YOU LOOKING BUT LOOK FOR YOUR HEART AND WORK.
PUT WHAT ABOVE IN YOUR MIND AND JOIN ME MY JOURNEY.
I RAISED IN EGYPT FROM AGE 7 YEARS OLD TILL I IMMIGRANT TO USA AND I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THAT I'M GREAT BECAUSE I'M EGYPTIAN AND HOW MUCH (OUR) EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION (WAS) GREAT LOOK FOR PYRAMIDS(IN PICTURES) LOOK TO TEMPLES (IN TV) AND SEE HOW WE ARE THE BEST.
IN SCHOOL I TAUGHT I'M AN ARAB AND THAT IS THE BEST RACE EVER AND I SHOULD BE PROUD TO BE AN ARAB IN SAME TIME I HAD TO LEARN THE STORY OF Antarah ibn Shaddad AS A BLACK GUY HE HAD ALL THAT TROUBLES BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK BETWEEN ARAB,MY TEACHER ALL THE TIME WAS EXPLAIN TO US HOW MUCH ANTRA WAS BRAVE WHILE HE IS BLACK! AND HOW MUCH HE WAS SMART WHILE HE IS BLACK! AND IN THE END OF CLASS TOLD US THAT WAS PRE-ISLAM BUT AFTER ISLAM ALL BECOME ONE,BUT HE MADE HIS COMMENTS AFTER ISLAM TOO,I WAS THINKING.
IN MY COLLEGE TIME I DISCOVER ANOTHER THING IF YOU ARE A BLACK FEMALE IN EGYPT I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU,SHE WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO COMMENTS LIKE SHE IS BLACK BUT NICE!
SHE IS BLACK BUT SMART,AGAIN? AND I HAD EXPERIENCED COUPLE FAMILY DISSECTIONS ABOUT MARRIAGE CAN'T BE DONE BECAUSE THE BRIDE IS BLACK!!WHAT A SHAME.
I TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM MAYBE ITS BECAUSE OS SLAVERY TIME, IT TURNS OUT NO SIMPLY BECAUSE ARAB HAD MORE WHITE SLAVE FROM EUROPE THAN THEY HAD BLACK SLAVES AT ALL, ALSO WHILE ARAB START TO GET OUT WITH ISLAM MANY AREAS IN AFRICA HAD BETTER MONARCHY SYSTEM WHILE ARABS WHERE JUST TRIBES.
I FIND OUT ALSO MANY PEOPLE IN EGYPT (MUSLIMS) BELIEVE IN HAM DID SEEN HIS FATHER NOAH NAKED AND FOR THAT GET CURSED TO BE SLAVE AND BLACK.
IN 2002 AFTER COLLEGE I HAD CHANCE TO WORK IN HOTEL AT Abu Simbel AREA ,WHILE I'M FROM ALEXANDRIA IN VERY NORTH OF EGYPT AND ABU SIMBEL IS IN VERY SOUTH OF EGYPT(700 MILES) I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS AREA WHICH ALLOW ME TOO TO VISIT SOME NICE TEMPLES I NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
I HAVE HARED ALL TYPE OF JOKES BECAUSE OF THAT JOB IN THAT AREA WITH MONKEYS (BLACK) AND HUMAN MET EATERS (BLACK) AND CAVE MEN!
AGAIN ITS COMMON IN EGYPT TO USE MONKEYS AS SOMETHING UGLY WHILE AS MUSLIMS THAT'S WE TAUGHT FROM ISLAM ,ALL ANIMALS CREATED BY GOD ,SO ARE WE MAKE FUN OF GOD CREATURES?
WHEN I CAME TO USA I SEEN IT BIG DIFFERENT WHEN I AFRICAN AMERICAN CONVERTED TO ISLAM THAN OF WHIT ONE DID.
IF THE NEW MUSLIM AFRICAN AMERICAN THEY TAKE IT MOSTLY LIKE NORMAL,BUT IF WHITE THERE WILL BE CELEBRATION!
I HEARD IT FROM ONE AFRICAN -AMERICAN THAT HE used TO BE MUSLIM BUT HE STOPPED BECAUSE THE HATE HE SEE IN ARAB EYES I SIMPLY TOLD HIM GO TO OTHER MOSQUES NOT FOR ARAB MOSQUES.
I KNOW A MOROCCAN GUY AT MOSQUE(HE IS VERY GOOD PERSON)AND HIS SISTER MARRIED TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSLIM (HE ALSO VERY NICE GUY) I WAS HAPPY WHEN I KNEW THAT AND COMMENTED THAT HOW NICE MUSLIMS SHOULD BE THEN SOMEONE CORRECTED ME THAT THE SISTER IS BLACK TOO!I SAID SO?
I SHOULD MENTION THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF JOKES ON INDIANS AND PAKISTANIS AND ALL ASIANS (YOU CAN HEAR A JOKE ABOUT CHINES SMALL EYES) BETWEEN PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE MUSLIMS BELONG TO ISLAM WHICH TOLD US MANY TIMES HOW BIG SIN THAT IS.
THE FUNNY POINT HERE THAT ARABS DON'T HAVE ONE DEFINITION FOR WORD ARAB,ITS IN EGYPT MEAN ARABIC GULF COUNTRIES WHILE EGYPT OFFICIAL NAME (ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT) IN EGYPT THE NAME OF MOROCCANS AND TUNISIAN AND ALGERIANS (NORTH AFRICANS) NOT ARAB.
IN ARABIC GULF COUNTRIES THEY CONSIDER ARAB WHO SPEAKS ARABIC.
I WAS WONDER WHAT IS ARAB PROBLEM WITH OTHER RACES AND AL I FIND OUT THAT ARAB BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A HISTORY AND THEY WERE UNKNOWN TILL ISLAM START AND THEN THEY BECOME PART OF MUSLIMS NOTHING BETTER AND NOTHING LESS,THEY STRUGGLE TO MAKE ANY OTHER RACE UNDER THEM BY NON CHOSE POINTS LIKE LIFE STANDARD (ITS FUNNY THAT GUYS FROM GULF COUNTRIES PROUD THEY HAVE MORE LEXUS THERE THAN IN USA) SKIN COLOR(MOSTLY ALL ARABIC COUNTRIES HAVE BLACK PEOPLE EXCEPT LEBANON AND SYRIA), HISTORY EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT OR EVEN DISCOVER IT OR KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT (EGYPTIANS) ,RELIGION (I HAVE TO PUT THAT IN MORE THAN ONE POST).
SEE LET'S SEE ONE FAMOUS ARABIC MAN SAID ABOUT ARAB
Ibn Khaldun
It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars both in the religious and intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs ... Thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and, after him, AL-Farisi and az-Zajjaj. All of whom were of Persian descent. They were brought up in the Arabic language and acquired knowledge of it through their upbringing and through contact with Arabs. They invented the rules [of grammar] and made it into a discipline for later generations. Most of the hadith scholars, who preserved traditions of the Prophet for the Muslims also were Persians, or Persian in language and breeding because the discipline was widely cultivated in Iraq and regions beyond. Furthermore, all the great jurists were Persians, as is well-known. The same applies to speculative theologians and to most of the Qu'ran commentators. Only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the Prophet becomes apparent: "If learning were suspended at the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it." ... This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, the 'Iraq, Khurasan, and Transoxiana, retained their sedentary culture.
SO ITS SO CLEAR THAT ARABS DIDN'T DO A LOT WITH ISLAM EVEN WITH THE ARABIC LANGUAGE IT SELVE THEY DIDN'T MAKE PUT THE GRAMMER RULES FOR IT!
SO ITS NOT SURPRISE TO KNOW THEY NEED TO FIND ANY REASON TO PUT OTHERS UNDER THEM.
ITS A PROOF OF ARAB STUPIDTY THAT THEY ALMOST IGNORE THAT Mauritania IS ARABIC COUNTRY(I MEAN COUNTRIES BELONG TO Arab League ) THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK AND THE LEAGUE NOT ALLOW THEM TO NAME THIER COUNTRY ARABIC REBUBLIC !!AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES IN AFRICA.
I WANT TO CLEAR ONE THING IN THE END I DON'T GERALIZED BUT IN THAT PART OF WORLD STUPIDS WAY LAUD THAN GOOD PEOPLE AND GOOD PEOPLE ARE SO QUIT SOMETIMES.
BOTTOM LINE IF YOU CAN'T FND ANYTHING IN YOU BETTER THAN ME THAN YOU SKIN COLOR, HOW SAD THAT IS.

Day at Smithsonian
Smithsonian museum known as the biggest museum in the world, it is 19 museum cross street from white house Washington d.c.
I’m in love with history and for real history inspire me to think about future; I had my plan up already that I’ll visit 3 out of 19 museums that day, natural history museum, American history museum and air and space museum.
I choose to go there the Monday after July 4Th thinking it will be light day after the holiday but I was totally wrong it’s the Smithsonian!!
When I start think to write about that trip I figured out it can’t be a coverage that will need one full week of Washington post team! So I’ll just go with some points I wanted to comment on it.
I like so much the African history and as I’m Egyptian and for sorry the majority in Egypt think about Africa as low level so it’s not common to find source to know about Africa there, so that I started my visit with the AFRICAN part in natural history and man history museum.

With my first step inside the African voices there was a picture for Giza pyramid –Egypt and guess what? Music for song from Algeria and it is my favorite song (ya rayah-for shab taha) so what else I can dream about??
Let me please take you for a short tour with some pictures and I apology that I’m not o good with pictures.
that section name is African voices
Another picture for the same frame
Picture for treasury from west Africa
Struggling against colonists was a very hard and honor act to save your country and people and nation,what makes me stop for that one is the name of it ( freedom tools) and it has tools to smoke with the guns.
Status from Nigeria for woman. they still do the same things in some parts of west Africa and that is sign of beauty for woman to has long nick
Small status from Egypt,when i seen them i can't stop my self thinking who sell them and how much he get paid?
That is custom for dancing
The dark god as they name it.
This is a real ceramic tile found in Spain for Muslims lived in Spain.
Another picture hope its more clear
A wedding dress isn't it amazing?
That is work for a 14 years old boy about cow boys,i like it so much ,its made by wire and plastic hand made
kola nuts
Its noticeable that they used the term (Muslims),as I'm sure about if that museum in middle east they would replace it with (Arab)
I liked so much that fact the museum was crowded by kids,i like that because in Egypt its stupid idea and not fun to take a kid for museum and also adult most of times.
Oh departing Traveler, where are you heading?Your journey is bound to failure How many travelers before you Have sought the path with similar results?How many cities and deserts have I roamed?How much time have I wasted Touring from one place to another?Oh lost one, no matter how much you run away Your destiny will end in exhaustion Time has passed you by And you have yet to notice it.
I didn't like that words before because i love to travel but this time i think he was advice people not to visit Egypt.

Angry or sad
Marwa's father refused to take it against all German and says Europe need to know more about Islam in way for people to not be against something they don't know about.
I raise my hat to him doesn't fellow the Laud wave from emotional who make it really racism against German because a crime of one guy.below is what he say all
http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2009/07/10/78381.html
Marwa al-Shirbini 31, was stabbed 18 times by a German man of Russian descent as she was about to give evidence against him in an appeal case in Dresden.
So sad accident for her family and for any human being.
That accident takes a place in media especially in Middle East and there are some remarkable points here:
The guy who stabbed here has knife on him inside the court, I don’t know about security in Germany but that doesn’t make sense for me a knife t court?
The guard after (stabbed 18 times) take reaction and use his gun also inside court and didn’t use it in air as basic security rules he start to shoot and not the guy he open fire on marwa husband!!!
Marwa was pregnant in her 4th month.
Media tells that the criminal used to make comments against marwa Islamic attire.
Because of that point Muslims are so angry specially Egyptian for sure and calling for REVENGE.
Muslims and Egyptians become so angry calling German government to take action.
What I see about that situation is that there is someone or some people push it to anger edge for certain benefit and as usual Egyptian because they are the lauder in middle east are very good environment to use for that much noise.
Egyptian in front and some Muslims from other nationalities fellow they are asking for apology from Germany! Because the guy(he is Russian) named marwa a terrorist ,so because of one person make a hate crime Egyptians and some Muslims want all nation(Germany) to apology, so I don’t see anything wrong if America or any other country had a terrorist accident to ask ALL Muslims to apology, isn’t that same logic??
We can notice that marwa and her husband live in Germany from few years and they had 3 years old son and she was pregnant which make sense she will deliver her baby in Germany too which mean her son or both will be German and Germany doesn’t allow dual nationality which mean they will be ONLY GERMAN by her and them father choice.
Marwa brother call German a RACEIST so the question here is German are raciest why marwa and her husband live there? If you are not welcome somewhere doesn’t go, right?
Some Egyptian swear they take a revenge for marwa blood, isn’t that a terrorism calling will scare German people??
Some Egyptian blame the situation because we are a weak and can’t make GERMANS pay back, I thank god we are weak instead to be strong and kill innocent as revenge because of ONE criminal.
I wonder if a German or French or American person killed in Egypt and his/her country did the same reaction what Egyptian and Muslim will say and do?
For sure as usual Egyptian and some Muslims will call for Boycott
German products and I ask here is that mean the German cars will disappear from streets in Middle East? And all other German products? If so I guess with same logic they have to Boycott Russia (the guy is Russian) Will Russians work in Egypt leave?
That remind me when they were calling for Danish Boycott they mostly were talking about the Danish cheese which poor never seen it and they never mentioned company like marsek which is 100% Danish and that company then and till now take the biggest deals in Egypt and gulf countries.
At the end I want to say that Egyptians are angry and its emotions will go fast as usual( maybe next post I’ll tell true story about how most of Egyptian really don’t care) so whatever please nobody has right to talk by my name as a Muslim.
I didn’t give that right to anyone, so none has right to say a Muslim world or Egyptians because I didn’t give that right to anyone at all.
Marwa I ask god for you to be in heaven and your killer will get his punishment in life time by law and in day of judge by god.

Business is business
From the name of convention its clear that is the 46Th which mean that happening in last 46 years.
That convention organized by ISNA which consider part from Egyptian Muslim brotherhood or at least they both have so much cooperate.
There was a lectures and meetings but it was very few attended that,most of people went their were for shopping purposes.
Below are some pictures with my comments
That is out of the Washington convention centre which is minute from white house and FBI buildings,That made me thinking how it will look like if Christians in Egypt had convention in Cairo???
That is booth to sell cruise trips,yes in that convention which is Islamic(ISNA website insist if you rent Booth ISNA must approve your product and should be products permitted by Islam rules)
Yes that is booth for regrow hair products.
Yes that was there too,very Islamic products!!
Very nice work i liked it,i just wonder if she live in ISLAMIC country can she sell that while she doesn't wear head scarf?? i believe there is no way.good for her she is here
What disturbed me a lot the fact that most of business rep. didn't market their products no they ask you to support them and DONATE except few as the 2 artists and one more example for the travel agency,in fact she made me ask my self some questions, she sell a haj and umrah( Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca) as a pure business which means she doesn't use that word donate or support or made any sign as she Owen the heaven keys in her hands,also she doesn't wear head scarf (i didn't know even if she is Muslim or not but i knew she is Egyptian)which mean she does what she like and doesn't use Islam for business as most of other business.
