    How did the Bedouin start with the same species as the Europeans ( equus) and manage to breed the most beautiful, intelligent, and enduring horses in the world?
    I was in Egypt in 1977. It felt like home. I was with a group (World Arabian Horse Organization) touring the private stud farms and the EAO. I loved every second. The people, the food, the climate, the gorgeous architecture, the monuments, and oh, the horses... I wish for a lasting peace in the Middle East so I can go back some day before I die.

    I dont have a answer for this one sorry ..hope u can make it to the middle east !

    Why are women being raped for going to the Brotherhood rallies in Tahir? Is it true they are paying gangs to rape women?

    Egypt is a cultural mecca has been for many millennia and has influenced the world. Do you think Egypt still has this standing today? Do you think that there is a conflict between muslim beliefs, tourism, and influence from the western world?

    Without wanting be disrespectful to your `wondering` it is hardly on a par to compare the rapes in Egypt to NY?

    NY have not been, or ever been under the control of Islamists and their beliefs.

    Not sure which NYC protests you are referring too, but I was referring to the brutal gang rapes, beatings, and stabbings that are occurring to woman, per the media, for being in attendance in the protests. I read that the Brotherhood was staunchly patriarchal and believed women had no place in government, and was using these rapes to basically scare women indoors.

    This could be a political bent from the media of course, but I've been absolutely curious to hear the thoughts of an Egyptian on this and maybe disseminate the truth.

    NY have not been, or ever been under the control of `extreme` Islamists and their beliefs.

    ETA to add `extreme` so as not to offend passive Islamists

    So if he is kicked out what party will fill that political void? Will it be another democratic election? Do you think it will be for the better or worse for Egypt?

    i just think it's so awful how the citizens are fighting each other too now because of the rebels and social democrats on one side and the muslim brotherhood, supporters of the former president on the other wanting him back. I was really just interested in knowing what you are personally a supporter of and how you feel about the new government
