Fairy Tale
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there used to be a planet called Earth, and on this planet there was a country called Egypt, which was known for its magnificent beauty, bountiful soil and unpredictable people. Unfortunately for its inhabitants, this land was cursed by its location, for it lay smack in the middle of three continents occupied by unfriendly psychotic barbarians, warmongers and French people, which made anyone who wanted to add the words “the great” to his name desire to invade it and rule it"

Syria: Revealing the true face of the world
"The world revealed it’s true face when it comes to the Syrian revolution ladies and gentlemen, actually not just the Syrian revolution. The world showed that it’s willing to bare with human life in return of interests of it’s own. The world has no soul, it doesn’t care about the massacres and all the horrible things happening right now in Syria. THE WORLD HAS NO SOUL and I’m about to lose hope, i don’t want to but if it keeps going this way i will. So please world, restore my faith in you! Show me that you care and intervene to save lives!"
