  • Actually, all of the Egyptians I know here (Christian) have arranged marriages. One married her cousin who flew over from Egypt. You can dispute it all you want, but its the truth.

  • Was your sample size large enough to extrapolate the results for the entire population?

    Especially in countries like Saudi Arabia. Spent 15 months there working in a hospital. Quite a culture shock.

    Worked at King Fahd hospital situated outside of Medina, one of their two holy cities...wasn't allowed to enter the city because I was Christian.

    Since it was Medina, religious customs were strictly enforced. I stayed at a compound. The only women living on this compound were foreign nurses...mostly from the Phillipines and South Korea, and some Egyptians. Could not intermingle with them...no visiting or even talking to them. Guards patrolled the area looking for hanky panky. Men and women had to be separate. Men could leave the compound. The nurses had to stay on the compound for the duration of their contract.

    Foreign women had to wear a half burqa...they could show their face as long as their hair was completely covered.

    I was issued a brown ID similar to a passport called an igama (sp?), which signified me as a Christian. If you were a Muslim you were issued a white igama.

    Women always walked behind their husband as if he was leading a camel.

    If there were public executions or hand choppings for stealing to be carried out, they were always done on a Friday.

    An Egyptian doctor who earlier invited me to witness an execution, described the event.

    On a stage or platform the condemned was placed on his knees and was doped up. In this case he had fallen over and had to be righted again...like a football that had fallen of it's tee.

    The executioner he described as very tall and black perfomed a little dance, then with one swipe of his sword off went the head amid the roar of the crowd..."touchdown"!!!

    My boss who was also American had learned that this particular Fillipina (female from the Phillippines ) custodian could type.

    She had been sitting at the computer with my boss standing behind her giving her instructions when an Arab stuck his head through the doorway and began having a hissy fit in Arabic.

    The next morning my boss gets called into the directors office...the hospital director explained that it is forbidden to be in a room alone with a woman, because there are actually 3 entities...you, the woman, and the devil.

    If you are not "thinking it" then she is, and if she's not "thinking it" then you are.

    Um.."thinking it" means having sexual thoughts Woody, I know you're kinda slow.

    I got a dozen crazy stories to tell, enough for one day.

    I guarantee you his sample size is smaller and less diverse than mine.
