From Egypt With Love

Greeting from the Egyptian Galaxy ,this is my first post in my third journal attempt ,I had a journal in opera Browser Community from 6 months ago but I did n't complete posting in it as I got busy also I didn't feel like writing anything but now it is different ,I think I am doing this journal by this name "EGYPTIAN CHRONICLES" because I want to try to change this wrong perceived image about my homeland Egypt.Also I got another journal in Opera Browser community with the same name and same content
Egypt is greater than a history book or a touristic country or a program in discovery channel,it is more than all those things .
It is the oldest country on this planet yet I see her (Egypt)not as a country or a continent or even a planet but a GALAXY
yes A Galaxy ,strange I know but all of you will say she loves her country madly.
not just because I am an Egyptian and I love Egypt madly
but I see her too hard to be understood ,too big to be understood (big here doesn't refer to the space or size but it is big and great in something I can't describe in words)
I want to describe Egypt through the eyes of Egyptian who lives and feels her own country
not only Egypt I will write about but also the other Arab and Muslim countries as I guess there is a great misunderstanding about the Arabs ,Middle East and above all of them the Islam
I watched this summer vacation Programs in The travel channel regarding my country and other Arab countries ,they were Syria and Lebanon (both I like and love,know a lot about their history and people)and what I saw in these programs made me angry
let me just say the travel channel always describe the touristic parts in the world in a touristic way but the Arab and Islamic countries it becomes the politics channel ,full of Lies and deception and I am afraid that's the way in most of western media regarding the mideast
so from my humble journal I am trying to correct all those false concepts and lies about my world the Arab and Islamic as much as I can
I speak too long I am afraid
anyway you are all welcome
the house is yours as we say
till we meet again
