Egypt weighs legality of divorce by text message

I shit you not, this is for real, an Egyptian court has been asked to rule on whether a husband can send a text message to divorce his wife. AFP says the case stems from the actions of Abul Nasr, a Cairo engineer who declared the end of his marriage in three text messages that were sent to his wife, Iqbal Abul Nasr.
"I divorce you because you didn't answer your husband," he wrote in the last message, according to the state-run Al-Akhbar newspaper.
Under Islamic law, men can end a marriage by making a unilateral declaration of divorce that is repeated at least three times. Some countries have banned the use of cellphone messages to repeat the declaration, but Egypt has yet to rule on the legality of this practice. Cool stuff huh?

Democracy just doesnt work around here

Bottom line democracy just doesn't work in the middle east. Not even in Israel, so many folks over there are against the killing of babies by the minute and frankly feel that there government looks silly lobbying world wide and adamently denying it, but too bad for them, they are made out to be soulless pigs and apes. Are their voices heard? Heard, shmurd, please. We are in the land that invented Anarchy, Monarchy, dictatorships secularism and everything else extrordinaire, please people.

Democracy won't work in the gulf and it and sure as hell won't in North Africa. Look at what happened with democracy in Gaza, you don't want democracy in Saudi Arabia or even in Egypt, trust me, thats why people may mock Mubarak, but deep down inside, they accept him over the other alternative. Democracy,..,of death.

Industry

In the past 5 years alone, a nascent industry has burgeoned up out of nowhere. An industry against the religion known as Islam. Many a time has Islam been persecuted but never has an entire industry developed over it. Notice how Muslims who apostate themselves into Christianity become filthy rich. Name one person who has left Islam and lived to talk about it who is not filthy rich or supported by the multi million dollar evangelical machine?

Denounce Islam and you will make dollars and gain friends who would ordinarily denounce you at face value or would take no interest in you what so ever.

Fascinating really. Some would argue that I shouldn't bring this to attention because it is almost like telling teen age high school girls in the west that they could make exorbitantly ridiculous amounts of money if they adulterated themselves into the booming prostitution industry.

Shammed out shortcuts to easy worldly rewards ! Just like the sex industry which is the oldest industry in the world, we now have the 'denounce Islam' industry which just happens to be the newest industry in the world at the time of this post.
