THIS IS NOT MADE UP.. IT IS REAL AND VERIFIABLE ...

Vander Hoven, a psychologist from Netherlands, announced his new discovery about the effect of reading the Qur'aan and repeating the word ALLAH both on patients and on normal persons. The Dutch professor confirms his discovery with studies and research applied on many patients over a period of three years. Some of his patients were non-Muslims, others do not speak Arabic and were trained to pronounce the word " ALLAH " clearly; the result was great, particularly on those who suffer from dejection and tension. Al Watan, a Saudi daily reported that the psychologist was quoted to say that Muslims who can read Arabic and who read the Quran regularly could protect themselves from psychological diseases.
The psychologist explained how each letter in the word "ALLAH " affects healing of psychological diseases. He pointed out in his research that pronouncing the first letter in the word " ALLAH" which is the letter ( A ), released from the respiratory system, controls breathing. He added that pronouncing the velar consonant ( L) in the Arabic way, with the tongue touching slightly the upper part of the jaw producing a short pause and then repeating the same pause constantly, relaxes the aspiration.
Also, pronouncing the last letter which is the letter (H ) makes a contact between the lungs and the heart and in turn this contact controls the heartbeat. What is exciting in the study is that this psychologist is a non-Muslim, but interested in Islamic sciences and searching for the secrets of the HolYQuran Allah, The Great and Glorious, says, We will show them Our signs in the universe and in their ownselves, until it becomes manifest to (remember me in ur Dua) ALLAHU AKBAR Allah is great Allah keeps me going day and night. Without Allah , I am no one. But with Allah , I can do everything. Allah is my strength." This is a simple test. If you love Allah and you are not ashamed of all the great things that he has done for you, send this to everyone you know, May Allah help u to succeed...Ameen
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute) All you have to do is the following: You simply say "A prayer" for the person that sent you this message.
Allah said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." If you are not ashamed, send this message...only if you believe. "Yes, I love Allah. Allah is my fountain of Life and My Savior.

Man even if we were starving I know this shit wouldn't happen in Egypt

Anybody for tenderloin tiny little barbecued puppies?

This is how they keep older dogs under control. By dislocating both shoulders and tying both front limbs behind their back, whith a muzzled snout, all the while the dog is in traumatic shock. Very humane or what or would barbaric be a better word?

Ahhh a feast for a hungry man and what better way than barbecue? No please, go ahead, you first, I insist.

Fresh as can be...

Just skinned under your own eyes, freshness guaranteed.

The final product for a romantic dinner, what a fine delicacy..

No, No, I'm sorry I will never bark again.

If I didn't know better, I would say the Dog above was screaming to leave east Asia and come live in an ARAB NATION, right about now, wouldn't you think so?

Yet we get pounced on and ridiculed by the media and are sometimes called down right ugly Muslim Arab barbarian freaks due to some rogue elements, even though we do as much ass kissing of Israel as we can.

At the end of the day I guess it is pretty clear that we are living in Paradise compared to the above east Asians countries, that are not neccessarily a starving North Korea but such places like china and wealthier south korea that have no shortage of healthy Beef and lamb.

We live in far from perfect world and region to boot Making Africa and the Middle east truly civilized by any measure.

F_cking hillarious, too funny

I am so sorry, I just couldn't help myself. In the above article, notice the line way down in the middle that reads "To stand by idly while the blood of others is shed would be un-Jewish." I mean I am trying, I mean really trying to give the Israeli's the benefit of the doubt since they are Egypt's neighbors and we have had some really shitty leaders in the past but how can some one say this while there is an enormous civilian casualty rate with the - yes Jewish Israeli army - whether it be in Palestine or Lebanon. Is Israel trying to draw attention away from it's settlements in the West Bank by drawing attention to Darfur. I believe it's all propaganda no doubt. If powerful people really are sincere about Jewish nature not condoning violence, especially because it had happened to them, why then can't they just stop it. It can't be that hard, I mean really people, come on really.

Egyptian Reverse Culture Shock

I remember years back once when it was like 5:00 a.m. in the morning after a long night of partying and drinking whilst listening to the newest tunes under a talented mixoligists at the Atlas Hotel, our group headed out to check out the new nearby Mcdonalds for an early breaky.

Even though they still lack the basic breakfast menu here in Egypt like Egg Mcmuffins and Pancakes and what not that you can find in the West, Egypt has still come a long way indeed since the early 80's.

Back then there was only one channel on tv, things were just a little backwards to say the least.

I explicitly remeber coming to live in Egypt for the first time -- for some strange reason -- way back 1982 from Washington D.C.

Being accustomed to good ol American Junk food and what not, it was so depressing moving to Egypt, I remeber full well. You couldn't even buy a pizza here except at a place called La Cassetta, and it was really expensive. My folks kept on telling me that it was the equivelant of two weeks pay of a government employee with 5 kids. Just so that I would appreciate them taking me thereto eat every blue moon or so.

You also couldn't grow your hair past your ears back then if you were a guy, even though Michael jacksons' thriller topped the charts back then. The population was 30 million and people thought that was an astronomical figure lol, compared to todays 70+ million. That means the population has more than doubled in the past two decades, wow.

There was lots of traffic back then too but not as bad as today, now way and I remeber that Ahmad Adawiya song "zahma ya Donia zahma," he was the equivelant of todays Shaaban Abdel Rahim I guess you could say.

Mcdonalds didn't come to Egypt till the mid 90's, I guess it hasd something to do whith when saddam invaded kuwait and all the Gulf Arabs were like 'What - there is no God damn Mcdonalds here!' Though I must admit there was KFC & Wimpy back then long before I even arrived in Egypt.

So in essance you see Egypt has come a long way but in all reality I think it has a long way to go yet.

Having reverse culture shock is quite common every time I leave egypt for a couple of years and return. So I have learned to accept the fact that Egypt will never really be anything like the West and I should stop comparing.

For what it's worth, good job egypt yet you still have a long way to go.
