Epitaph_87

The coming is nothing but people who really exist in this world...with such views and approaches to life..I've met them,,and will meet more of them...probably you did or will as well...But here you go!

I've met many in my very short life,,and was opposed to different point of views, and I thought it's time for me to share those views; In every act there is a different hero : UK, USA , and Arab; we met via computers, but their ideas must stand for people really existing in this world that I never reached ,But through Computers

ACT 1
(setting: cyber world, an instant message to and fro Manchester and Cairo)

UK: Hagar, are you a Muslim or an Arab?
Hagar: i am a Muslim (my religion) and an Arab (which is a race)

(so,.,,I thought about blaming his education or to be specific his ignorance..shall I blame the Western Media?...or shall I wait to know more in our next conversation?!...let's see)

UK: Hagar, your English is good, so,, Did you study abroad?
Hagar: No...I was taught in Egypt..
UK: wow...are women educated?!
Hagar: of course they are! aren't women in The West educated? it's their right, isn't it?!

UK: Hagar, You wear a veil?!
Hagar: Yes, I do...it's called "Hijab"
UK: wow...If I ever passed by you in the street, with you veil, I would never think that this girl is educated, and speaks so good English!

(Why surprise?! Don't they still think of Arab Muslim women as "harem" , their utmost hope is to get married at the age of 16?! Am I then denied the right to be well-educated? is my veil or my long dress contradictory to education? they think it's not a head cover.. حجاب العقل و الفكر

UK: Hagar, have you watched Munich?
Hagar: yes, I did! It's an interesting movie that tackles an important issue concerning the Palestinian-Israel Cause! and from a Jewish point of view as well!
UK: Poor Arabs and Jews ,,fighting!
Hagar: It's not "Jews",,it's not religion...say Israel..and Zionism! it's an everlasting struggle over the right to live! Zionists kill Christians and Muslims...invade churches and Mosques!
UK: the reason the Jews were placed in that area was because of the terrible events of WWII. they needed a new, safe place to colonise.
Hagar :well, they should be anywhere else..we're not behind their suffering at the hands of Hitler
UK: you're lucky that you're so far away from those troubles
Hagar: I am not far away...those Muslims killed and Christians besieged,, are my fellow citizens...Egypt suffered once from occupation, Israeli feet trod the sacred land of Sinai...but we have our land back now!
UK: Aren't the Israelis suffering now? or are they laughing or having great time?
Hagar: they are the cause of any suffering or insecurity they created themselves! if they can't sleep the night, then they killed a schoolboy in the morning!
UK: anyway,, I don't live there,,,So I don't care at all!
UK...Don't be a bomber Hagar!

(well...well...well....No wonder they think we are terrorist now....he still can't differentiate between the Muslim girl that wears her Hijab and the educated girl..that speaks languages.,,,,But I can't differentiate between the UK citzien who speaks of democracy and freedom..and the one who is totally ignorant...you'll tell me..C'mon not all of them like this..I'd tell you I know...as I met the other kind...haven't I told you I came across all views?!..Let's move to Act 2)
