Egypt

Am going to give birth and decided upon one of the 2 names (either wael/sofian) and the arabs I've met here in the houston area aren't familiar w/ the names meanings...no, am not following the tradition of naming the child after the father, I think there are enough people in egypt w/ his name of ahmed. Plus I'll tack on a giovanni +/franco middle name to it--difficult to find ANY italian name that flows well w/ an arab name. anyway, that's life. So if someone can tell me the names meanings or come up w/ an arab-italian name mixture that sounds ok to you, all the more power to you =) thanks in advance. Ever heard of an Arab named Franky/giovanni? Hee-hee, well there might be one.

Heard Cairo is not a great place to stay at, and the likes of Sharm el sheikh, despite having good reports, is too far to travel from. So any resorts within,say, 100 miles of the sights?

I think EGyptian should stand up for their right and start thing of not to be rulled by one person..

There should be freedom of speech and press..

Freedom of religion..

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States chided its key Middle East ally Egypt on Thursday over the treatment of a student blogger jailed for making online statements deemed insulting to religion and the president.

"The United States is disappointed that the initial appeal of the Egyptian student blogger Abdel Karim Suleiman was not successful," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in a prepared statement.

"We are deeply concerned by this conviction and prison sentence for expressing his opinion," McCormack said, adding that the prosecution of Suleiman was "a setback for human rights in Egypt."

"We know that Mr Suleiman can pursue a further appeal and we will continue to closely monitor this case," he said.

A court in the Egyptian city of Alexandria on Monday upheld a four-year prison sentence handed down last month against Suleiman.

The 22-year-old was sentenced to three years for insulting religion and a year for defaming President Hosni Mubarak after posting an entry on his blog lashing out at Cairo's Al-Azhar University -- the highest seat of learning in Sunni Islam.

The conviction drew widespread condemnation from Egyptian and international human rights groups, which saw the case as an attempt to intimidate Egypt's burgeoning Internet blogging scene.

The United States has frequently criticized the Egyptian government for the lack of democratic freedoms it allows, but had recently toned down its comments as it sought Muburak's support for efforts to stabilize Iraq and rekindle Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.
