Yes I am living proof that mongrels with Egyptian mothers have now been awarded the right to go through the hell of Egyptian bureaucracy for a year, before emerging sweaty, disorientated and traumatised at the end of it with a passport in which the foreign part of my name is misspelt in both Arabic and English. I can't think of a more fitting introduction to Egyptian citizenry!Scarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000921519899599070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-1160007279148478692006-10-05T02:14:00.000+02:002006-10-05T02:14:00.000+02:00thanks mo :)yes, your writing is very good. bas ac...thanks mo :)<BR/><BR/>yes, your writing is very good. bas actually, women are held in poor regard in old-fashioned jewish community, lineage or not. also, you can now get egyptian citizenship through your mother! ya alf alf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-1159994443652794902006-10-04T22:40:00.000+02:002006-10-04T22:40:00.000+02:00sorry about that:mo.nassar@gmail.comWell, I've liv...sorry about that:<BR/><BR/>mo.nassar@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>Well, I've lived in NY for about 7 years now and I'm damned sick of it!

Someone else has commented on the labyrinthine nature of my sentences, so your compulsion to skim through my nonsense is apparently quite normal :-)<BR/><BR/>Basil: Thank you sir for the compliment and the advice. <BR/>-I know Carmen's blog and enjoy reading it.<BR/>-Yes Judaism is matrilineal, but not sure about the women being held in slightly higher regard than men, would be interested to know about that.<BR/>-I am in the unfortunate position of being an only child, and therefore have the childbearing spotlight entirely focussed on me. The pressure was relieved briefly when my mother got a cat, but requests that I have a child with a random man and give it to her were resumed soon afterwards.<BR/>-Lol I rather fear that if I pretended to be with Dorothy my mother's requests for grandchildren would increase exponentially on the logic that both I AND my...erm...wife could bear her children :-sScarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000921519899599070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-1159970685427064102006-10-04T16:04:00.000+02:002006-10-04T16:04:00.000+02:00Very funny stuff, Amnesiac.

She's got similar stories to tell, albeit from the other side of the pond. <BR/><BR/>It's rough being bi-cultural and it's even tougher when you're the wrong sex (The Jews, like Arabs, are semites and their lineage is passed through the mother, which actually means that women are held in slightly higher regard than men). All I can tell you is what I did: if you have a sibling, encourage them to get married at once, bear children and distract everyone with their offspring. It's very effective.<BR/><BR/>That's what I did, which was my next-to-last resort. The last resort? Faking my own death or posing as a rather obvious homosexual.

I love your writing style though I would do less skimming if your sentences were a tad shorter. But maybe I am compelled to skim because I take time away from my readings to read blogs, in which case you can ignore my comment.magnoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297827005422785886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-1159782266327576832006-10-02T11:44:00.000+02:002006-10-02T11:44:00.000+02:00Thank you sir :-)Thank you sir :-)Scarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000921519899599070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-1159779878535350582006-10-02T11:04:00.000+02:002006-10-02T11:04:00.000+02:00very funny post :)very funny post :)Wael Eskandarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685842195441037505noreply@blogger.com
