All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Clearly I have been misplaced and relocated. Once a center of finding employment, I now ask myself the same question. Alas, the YL and I are now settled in to our mundane existence and endure each grueling moment surrounded by the proboscis of teabaggery.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO
I have recently learned that my family was forced to leave Egypt under threat of death. Believe it or not, we actually had to, escape. It was nerve wracking for my parents as the flight was delayed 4 hours and if the authorities had gotten wind of what we were up to, it would have been all over.
oh no!.....not that.
This new couch business of yours won't get off the ground without honest intelligent answers to questions posed.
Would you prefer I lie?
The escape is something that I learned of just one week ago and my father never spoke of it until I started asking questions. We left in 1966 but the circumstances leading up to it date back to 1950.
Be sure to check for loose change under the cushions.
So, you're Jewish, then?

No sir. We are Christians although I left Christianity behind in 1980. During the period of time leading up to our leaving, the Muslims were eradicating Christians and those whom they considered to be enemies of the state as the Muslims, who were in power in the government, had began nationalizing everything in Egypt around 1958 or 1959. We were considered to be enemies of the state due to the actions of one vindictive person who was caught stealing dye stuffs and other textiles chemicals where my father worked.So, you're Jewish, then?
Wow. That's pretty deep. Does this change how you feel about the Muslim faith and Muslims in general? I know you've been pretty neutral and "live and let live" until now.
We can not change the past. If Muslims in this country want to create a "Reformed" sect that sticks to the peace aspects of their beliefs, then I'm all good with that. Christians certainly don't own the patent on killing but considering what so called Christians have done in recent times with regard to women's health clinics, I can only view Christianity and Islam as two sides of the same coin.
