Al Omma Fe Naksa
I've been searching for this for a while to share it with you guys... I finally found it divided in five parts (since YouTube only allow video files as long as 10 min.)
Part 1 and 5 summarizes almost what happens... in case you don't want to watch the whole 5 videos... Just watch the top and the bottom video and you'll get the idea...

My Flight to London
Going to London right now… I’m on my way to Egypt, and my transit is in London… I’ll stay at Heathrow airport for 3.5 hrs or something.
Well, I have my iPod, my laptop, Twix (Yes, the candy bar)…Those are to keep me busy during this very long boring flight! I got to say, I’m not a flying fan, I just wish there is a better way to go to other countries other than flying (And yes, other than driving or taking the train, I’m not going to Egypt by train!)
Anyway, I was sitting beside the flight attendant after switching my seat with a pregnant lady to have better room and to sit beside her husband. I noticed while we were preparing to take-off that the flight attendant seat has an extra seat belt over her shoulders, and when I asked how come you got this extra seat belts, :-) Her answer was somewhat convincing, is that if there is anything happened, she has to be safe in order to help us when needed!
Then I had to reply, :-) If we are not going to be safe, then saving you is not going to be useful!
I watched a little of Will Smith’s new movie, and then I have to admit I fell asleep, because really, come’ on, it’s now almost 3:30 am my local time in Seattle, and I’d have been asleep for a while now! Actually my eyes still kind of hurt because I didn’t sleep much.
The local time in Cairo right now should be 1:30 pm… I should arrive to Cairo at 12:20 am… :-( Still long way to go! And I’m already bored! Aaaah! I really have to go back to sleep, I’ll just listen to my iPod in my ears and try to sleep again! I’ll see you when I’m in Egypt, that’s if I have time to blog at all! ;-) I’m getting married you know?!

Waleed Mohammed Shaalan
Doctoral student, 32
A doctoral student in civil engineering, Shaalan was from Zagazig, Egypt. He left behind his wife and 1-year-old to come to the U.S. to study civil engineering, following in his father's footsteps, the New York Times reported.
Randy Dymond, a civil engineering professor at Virginia Tech, told the Times that Shaalan had saved the life of a fellow graduate student during the shooting; Cho noticed the student, who was playing dead beside a badly wounded Shaalan, but before Cho could shoot the student, Shaalan distracted him and was shot a second time.
Although badly injured, graduate student Waleed Shalaan distracted gunman Cho Seung-Hui to save another person from his bullets.
The surviving student, who wishes to remain anonymous, told of Waleed's heroics through an email to his supervisor.
He describes how he was left uninjured after Cho's initial round of shots.
Meanwhile, Waleed had been wounded but was still alive.
However, when Cho later returned to the classroom to inspect for signs of life among his victims, the surviving student struggled to remain calm.
He believes he would have been shot dead were it not for Waleed's "protective movement" that distracted the gunman.
Cho turned and shot Waleed for a second time, killing him, before leaving the classroom.
Randy Dymond, a civil engineering professor, has said the student asked to him to tell the tale "so that the family of Waleed understands the sacrifice."
Shaalan's mother broke down when she heard Mr Dymond's account.
"He was trying to save someone else," she said repeatedly.
Dymond said Shaalan's body was taken to a Blacksburg mosque so classmates, teachers and friends could say goodbye before he was sent to Egypt for burial.
I hardly hold my tears when I'm imagining this. I'm sure you are among Shudaa'... And I'm sure god will support and help your family, and your son is going to grow up, knowing that his father died protecting others...
This reminds me of all those who died protecting others, not just nowadays... But nothing will stop, life will keep going on and on.... we might remember them tomorrow, but who knows what will happen next! May this simple post be in memorial of those who died and still die every day, everywhere, not just in VA tech, but also in Palestine, Sheshan, Darfur, and many other places...
Let's ask god for mercy!
Please consider making a donation to Waleed's family.

What Famous Leader Am I?
Apr 12, 2007
Wohooo... 3-2 Win!
We started the game and they scored a goal in like the 10th minute of the game...
We then pulled ourselves together, then Sean scored our first goal... By then I was the right mid-fielder. We then changed posictions, made some subs, and I became the striker...
Nikola played a long ball, I ran to it, same did Ahmed but I was faster, the goal was coming out, I just chipped it over the keeper... It was a really nice goal...
They scored the 2nd goal in the second half... It’s now 2-2
We have a corner, I played the corner but it came back to me again, Ahmed was there alone in the box, I made a good cross, the keeper couldn't get hang of it and the ball goes directly into the goal! :-) I scored our 2nd goal! Wohooo!
The other team was too aggressive... They were committing a lot of fouls against me, some of the fouls the referee doesn’t even whistle for a foul... Again a long ball, I ran to it, the other team's D pushes me really hard, and the referee didn't whistle or anything!! So I just shouted at every one in the field "COME ON!!! HE DOESN'T EVEN PLAY ON THE BALL!! HE JUST RUNS TO HIT ME!!".
Their D cleared the ball out to be out of the field, by the time I got it and came back, I found out that the referee is running towards me to give me the yellow card asking me to calm down and to take it easy! I just smiled notching my head!
Thank god we have to wear shin guards; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to walk by now! Of course I was hurt all over my leg, but if it wasn’t for the shin guards, I think I wouldn’t have been able to walk at all! Especially my right leg, I hope it gets better by the next game, which is in 10 days from now… I'll try to go practice next Tuesday to keep myself in shape.
We were in a pretty good shape! I was doing well in the game. The referee took my name as one of the best players in the game! :-) Cool, I'm happy, excited and glad we won!

My First MSSL Match
We started the first game in the league, I was a striker... I played most of the game, maybe more than 70 min of the game, during the game I changed positions from a striker to a right and then left mid-fielder.
During the game I've been told that I can control the ball pretty well, and I have some skills. The same comment was said about another mid-field player called Michael.
We were leading the first half 1-0 by a good shot by Ed, our team's striker... we started the second half, that's when they scored a goal by a follow up ball bounced from our goalie... We held our team back together; we scored our second goal from a very good shot by Scott, a defensive mid-fielder, maybe from more than 35 meters... We had another striker on the bench, He came into the game, and he took my position while I played as a right mid-fielder. We then scored the 3rd goal by the substitute striker. I then moved to be the left mid-fielder.
I got the ball, I took over two players, and then I changed the field by a crossing ball to the other side of the field to the left mid-fielder who was completely free, who passed it to a centre mid-field who was alone with the goal by then and scored our 4th goal. My team mates really encouraged me for the good field vision I had... Then one of the strikers got really tired, so he went out and a mid-fielder came into the game, he took over my position, while I played as a striker again.
I was in a very good position when Ian passed me the ball, my back was to the goal, I turned and shot, the ball hit the post, moved on the line and then went into the net! :-) I scored my first goal in the league, our fifth goal in the match. :-) Of course I had to score! We are only 10 players on the field, and we scored 5! I play in the forward line of the field, :-) which means that if each of us scored one, I had to be one of them; it really doesn’t mean that I have a talent or anything!
:-) It was a really nice game (since we won of course!). My next game is next Thursday, wish me luck! :-) And I’ll tell you about the next game, wish you guys can all come and watch it live ;-)

Today: Egyptian Referendum
Today Egyptians are to vote in a referendum on a set of constitutional changes, which pave the way for a police state. The changes will allow the drafting of a new anti-terrorism law to replace the emergency legislation in place since 1981, giving police wide powers of arrest and surveillance.
And of course, the majority of voters will magically say YES! and the constitutional changes will be a real fact that we have to live with for the rest of our lives. I assure that those who understand the constitutional changes would like to say NO for the changes, while others don't even understand the changes!
People in Egypt are very poor to think about the constitutional changes! President Mubarak, I just have one question, Why do you still choose to stay as a president after more than 25 years?! Do you really think that you can add anything after all these years?! After 25 years and you want to tell me that you still have something to help Egyptians with?! 25 years, ended now by the poverty and the difficult life that every Egyptian is complaining about, and you think you can still give something useful to Egyptians?! Or are you afraid that someone even worth is going to be in charge after you and make things worth?!
Now, Mr. Habib Al Adly, minister of internal affairs. I have read in FilBalad that you mentioned that the security is going to be on the highest levels to match this important event! I just’d rather that you are more concerned with the Human Rights Watch statement "Torture is endemic in Egyptian detention facilities. The most common torture methods include electrocution and beating."
I had a friend of mine; I used to work with him at Harf Information Technology. I came to work one day, and he just didn't show up, after 90 days, we found out that he was arrested while coming to work one day, without doing anything, accused of being with the “Muslim Brotherhood" party, and spent 90 days without doing anything, without having an investigation, with absolutely ZERO evidence that he's even have a relationship with the god forbid, the restricted party! Mr. Habib Al Adly, I think you have a lot to do! Or, a lot you should stop doing!
I'm a good soccer player, I play as a striker, but when there is a game, where I seem to lose the ball a lot, or just have great chances yet I still can't score or even create a good chance, I'd rather to leave the game and give a friend of mine the chance, maybe he'll be more suitable for this game, Even though I'm the main player, and I know I'm good at soccer.
