Dear all,

I wonder when i hear about lack of safety in the streets of the most countries around the world and how can you being abused while you are walking in the street, in sudden someone emerged mugging you or try to stab you to collect your wallet.

here in Egypt you can strolling at anywhere at any time in the day or in the night without any fears, any woman or man can walk at streets even at 2 , 3 or 4 am safely.

sure in Egypt we have a lot of negatives and problems but in this point we are different because our streets like our hearts full of life and love

Hi Alanbary!

It's quite amazing to know that your country is so peaceful regarding to robbery and that sort of things. I'm from Chile, and here we've got a lot of thieves, specially at downtown.

Due to this fact, I'd like to know why people in your nation is so different? It could be your idiosyncrasy? your religious believes?

I suppose that here, like in your country, since all of us were children, our families and teachers taught us rules about good behaviour, but clearly there's something that we're not doing well.

Kind regards.

Dear my friend,

You know we were a primitive people worshiping the status, stone, stars and even some people were worshiping animals until the lord sent us"Profit Mohamed" his messenger with a new religion Islam {1400 years ago},Mohamed outed us from worshiping people to worshiping the creator of the people.

we were lie, kill each other steal, bury the newborn girls, eat dead animals and drink alcohol doing all kinds of sins.

all that were swept, Mohamed release the woman and gave her the right to choose her partner and gave her the right in inheritance.

in 13 years he could to change those primitive tribes to start a new life depend on the since and system of "Shoura"

at this period the Arab Moslems from china at east to Spain and France in north to the south of Africa started a since revolution at all fields; chemistry, geography, astronomy, math and etc.. while whole European were live in the dark of legendary and magic

He taught us to mercy the orphan , ladies and kids
He ordered us to brush our teeth at least 5 times daily...

this the secret.

if you have any query don't hesitate to ask

hello #6 (permalink) Sun Mar 21, 2010 15:40 pm   hello
 

It was common in some tribes ,at that period of the middle ages, where no safe at all and the powerful tribes raid the powerless and the strong defeat the weak, where no discipline no law except jungle law, so for all pervious reasons people afraid of their girls to be trapped or captured by whom does not mercy them , so they believe that better to bury their new born girls instead of suffering in that cruel life and dark world, until Islam comes and put a rule for everything and systemize the relationships between god, people, parents, kids, kings, peoples every one has rights and responsibilities for example;
1. " Equal your kids even in kissing" Prophet Mohamed said
2. " Anybody has a girl and do his best in caring her I guarantee him the paradise"
3. "No girl getting married unless she agreed"
4. "must be friendly with crystal flasks" means women
5. " and if the Buried alive was asked in which guilt she was killed" Holy Kouraan

All that turned completely to the peak of civilization

It's interesting to know those statements. I find them similar to those written down in the Bible, like this:

- "Husbands, continue loving your wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it" (Ephesians 5:25).

I'm a Jehovah Witness and I've read and studied the Bible along with its principles. Amid all the ancient accounts found in the Bible, there's one referring to Egypt. It was the "ten plagues" account. At that time, the Bible shows that Egypt was a nation which had many gods, including Pharaoh. About the story of Egypt I know almost nothing but this account, so I'd like to ask you when, what moment in the line of history Mohamed appeared? Because I lose the track of Egypt's history when Assyrian invaded the country.

Thanks in advance!

It is a shame that your English is so poor Alan, because you would be a very interesting guy to speak with.

Now this is an interesting topic. I should like to see how this will develop. I just hope the outcome is not going to be as hot as one topic of this forum regarding vocabulary (Bill, I hope you don't mind me calling you that, you know what I mean *wink*). So far, still peaceful, still good.

@ Alanbarry : You have a good way expressing your ideas. But it would be better if you could improve your English. I belive that Kitosdad seems rather outspoken about his opinion on this one due to the topic that you are trying to discuss (trust me, he is a really nice man). Let's take an example of "the lord*" "Profit Mohamed" and "his*" in this quote :

Alanbarry wrote:
... the lord sent us "Profit Mohamed" his messenger with a new religion Islam..{1400 years ago}...


I take it what you are trying to say is actually "Prophet" (a messenger of God) whereas you actually typed "Profit" (money gained in business). Names and pronouns, in reference to God or deity, have to be written in capital letter in each of the fist letters (i.e : The Lord", "His"). I know I may sound like trying to nag you about case sensitive typing, but this is more than that. When you are discussing issues involving religion and faith, it is not only case sensitive, but it is also people sensitive!

I would be very grateful if you would take time and effort to improve your English with us here before you convey anymore ideas regarding religion or faith.

@Viator : Your English is very good! Your pronounciation is very clear and easily understood. It is almost hard to believe that you come from Chile. It is a shame that there are so much noise in your recording. I would really love to hear more from you!

@Bill: Your reaction towards this topic is surprisingly calm. You must be a very open-minded person. I am really glad that there are people like you and Viator here. I think we have enough "flame" posts as it is.

Cheers,

Thanks for your compliment Youscream. I hope to keep on practising to achieve an even better level of spoken English.

I agree with Kitosdad. Alanbary should work harder with his writing skills. To use a spellchecker would be fine along with a dictionary. I'm in the same category as Alanbary is, the learner category, so we are fellow-learners, and this piece of advice is for the benefit of all. I could recommend to Alanbary, to hear some audio files taken from magazines or written articles, just like those I found on the BBC webpage.

I'd be very grateful if you make me notice any mistake I could have made, so that way enhance my English.

Most grateful for your feedback.

Hi,
I read really lurred details about Egypt and its previous history.I appreciate your notes Alanbary!
The most interesting is how can both the Christianity and the Islam be devoted to the love between the people although there are still many wars all around the world? For instance take the terrorism - don't these people want peace ? Everybody could well be peaceful and there wouldn't be so many killings.
I'm up to understand everybody's point of view but maybe I must admit the world can't change.Perhaps if all people were the same it would not appeal to you to see mirror image of yours. One day if I become world's leader I'll do whatever it takes to raise the equality in the human race.

Please don't judge me I'm very imaginative person and that's my thoughts only.

Good morning all. ISYS,

I have not travelled a great deal, but wherever I have travelled in the World I have always treat those I've met with respect and politeness.
I've always found people, no matter what their station in life, respond in the same way.

I love Turkey. The people are friendly and jovial. They appear not to be so money-driven as others whom I've met. I imagine Egypt to be the same, alas I've never visited there.

I found Alan's post appealed to my gentler side. His simple words were very effective.
My hope is that he does improve his level of English, and that we can enjoy further conversations.

Kitos.

Adel,

You've got a good attitude toward learning english. I could humbly give you some advices about grammar:

- When you wrote: "my problem that", you should have written: "my problem is that".
- Don't forget the rule of capital letters at the beginning of any paragraph or sentence and everytime you write the pronoun "I".
- Don't apologize about the matter you are talking about. Religion is a very interesting issue in my opinion (I missed the point because this tip is not related to grammar.)

I want to highlight the fact that Alanbary's mother language is too different from English language. It must be a challenging undertaking for him to write and speak in English and I encourage you to be constant to achieve this personal goal. The same for all.

Please, make me notice any mistake.

Thanks for your kindness!
