Manal and Alaa's bit bucket

im pretty new to the whole political issue, but i have to admit that im truly impressed for the existance of ppl like you regardless of the nature and the intention behind it all... be it a pure loyalty to the country... be it looking for fame and fortune... be it looking for freedom... bottom line is there is still some real Egyptians alive!!

i see you being too concerned about the political freedom... to live in a country where we have a choice... but since u guys seem too open minded, let me throw few questions here testing ur preception of freedom... how about social freedom??? i dont think the idea of a female president will be so acceptable... nor is the idea of a christian one either!!!

unfortunately in our society, only men can be free... women are used and abused... for sex, cleaning and cooking... whats the big difference between "mixing their Martinis" and serving dinner at someone's table just coz he's a husband/brother/father... at least u get paid for mixing martinis n ur job finishes at the end of the shift!!!

Alaa, now the conspiracy is clear. You conspired with the gov't for the article 76 amendment. You hired thughs to beat you up so you can say: They beat me in demonstrations. You publish all this and all the blogs. Now, who benefited most of the political movement in Egypt last 6 months? YOU!! Shoft el mo2amra :)

Ramy Paranoia!!

شوفت شهرتك وصلت فين بسبب مشاركتك السياسية لعدة شهور. هذا ما لم تصل إليه بعد سنين فى العمل فى لينكس وتكنولوجيا المعلومات. شوف بقى هتوصل فين لو اشتغلت فى الفن :)

I remember a journalist working for PBS covering Nour's trial told me that he finds you more interesting than Nour, actually. And now comes another comparison. The first bit reads:

"Seif is an example of a new style of political activism in the Arab world. He is a virtual dissident, one of the growing legions of reformers whose forte is not ideology but technology. With their keyboard savvy, they are frequently outmaneuvering the ability of the region's autocratic regimes to control information.

In May, Seif achieved notoriety with a blog, or Web journal, describing how truncheon-swinging riot police swept through a crowd of several hundred prodemocracy demonstrators in downtown Cairo. He and his mother were among the protestors.

As Seif shows a visitor a low-resolution video of the May 23 attack on his laptop, he says with a smile that her was beaten with pro-Mubarak placards. The glint of pride in his eyes at the recollection suggests that, at least for him, the regime has lost its patina of invincibility.

"People of different ideologies and with different politics are sitting together for the first time. It's making me optimistic," he says.

Bloggers and online journalists have been imprisoned in Iran, Syria, Bahrain and Tunisia, Internet watchdogs say. But Seif fears no similar crackdown in Egypt.

"The security agencies would love not not just to control the internet but to nuke it," he says. "But half the opposition is made up of government employees that the government depends on to get things done."

Not In Lockstep

As a leader, Ayman Nour is every thing Seif is not. Where Seif is grunge, the politician Nour is flashy. And where Seif is understated, Nour is emphatic and defiant...

Eih ya 3am el7alawa dee... I just hope this blank chest area doesn't have a number on it after the elections. Stay safe.

I didn't know you were running, man -- you got my vote! :) Oh, wait a second, I get none, cause expats are not real egyptians, or they don't know the best interest of the country, or they're stupid, or something .. but I digress; this is supposed to be about your ego. Cheers man, you should make a huge inflatable pink dragon and take it to the demos -- I am sure that will draw some attention :)

Now why there is no announcement for the New Look video on yr front page??

Man, I wonder if I would recognize you if you shaved the beard and cut the hair.

Hmm........

UPDATE: I guess I need more coffee, didn't read the headline carefully. But still why on earth would an Austin newspaper put such a large photo of you ? you are probably a 3ameel amrekany.
