"A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called “leaves”) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic."
Carl Sagan (via sensationalizm)

"

You knock, He opens. You attend, He welcomes. You ask, He gives. You sin, He tests, You repent, He forgives. You sin again. He forgives again. You cry, He listens. Everything you do, is about you; and everything He does, is about you.

[55:13 So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?]

‎(أنواع البشـر أثناء وبعد ثورة 17 فبراير)

فيه اللى يدفع مــن جيبه …… وتحـــــرير ابــلاده ايتمنى
وفيه اللى ماخــش كتيبه ……… وافلوسه فى حوشه جنى
وفيه اللى يحكى بالطيبه …… والطيبـــه مبعــــدهـــا منه
وفيه اللى راضى ابنصيبه ….. خش الـنــار طلبهـا الجنــه
وفيه اللى بالسياأوعيبه ……. ضيع ثورتــــــــــــنا وتهنى
وفيه اللى مــــازال نحيبه ….. فاقـــــد ناس قريبـــــه منه

فيه اللى مقطوعــــــه يده……. واكراعه فالحــــرب بترها
وفيه اللى الجبهـــه ماعــدا …. ويحلف بنغــــــازى حررها
وفيه اللى بالحيـــل تغـــــدا ……. وفيه اللى بطنه قطمرها
وفيه اللى دمعــه فى خده …… ويــــن الله اكبـــــر كبرها
وفيه اللى ماشى ايســـدا ……… حتى والشقــــه صوقرها
وفيه اللى فى وقت الشده …… عدا للمـــــوت او صادرها

فيه اللى الثورة شــالاته ……. ناض بعـــــد دق الناقوس
وفيه اللى سراق وجـاته ……. فرصه بيش ايدير افلـوس
وفيه اللى ضحى بحياته …….. بيش الضلم عليه ايدوس
وفيه اللى نـــزل دمعاته …… وهو كـذاب طلع جاسوس
وفيه اللى الدنيا غــراته …….. القيناه معــانا منجــــوس
وفيه اللى باتـــن راياته ……. فى فكر معمــــر مغطوس

What I said: I’m Muslim.

What you think I said: You’re all infidels, you’re all going to hell. Osama bin Laden is my hero. I support terrorism. I’m going to kill you and your family and every other infidel like you. I hate everybody except other Muslims and I’m better than you and you’re all going to hell and I hate your freedom.

What I meant: I believe in one God and all the other prophets before prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all). I try to be a better person for everyday that goes for the sake of God. I believe non-Muslims are my brothers and sisters in humanity and only God knows who is going where after we die. I choose to be a Muslim because I believe the Quran is the word of God and I respect your (non)religious beliefs and I wish you all the best. Peace.
