I have learned that there are good and bad people everywhere. However, I've been blessed to meet some great folks in the Middle East. Really, I have felt safer in Egypt then in the USA. Of course as with all religions, there are some extremists. However, I have found that Islam and the prophet Mohamed, the Koran, etc. is all a part of a beautiful religion. Unfortunately, as with other religions, theere's always a few nuts that make the all religions look bad. A great book for beginners to get insights on Islam is "The Idiots guide to Islam". Don't laugh, but it is easy to read and will give you the principal religion. There is a lot of propaganda going on in the USA and I can't believe people believe all they see and read via the media. I could go on and on but I won't. Did we learn a thing from Vietnam . . . guess what folks? Here we go again! We Ameericans forget so quickly don't we? Feel free to ask any questions you might have, and if I don't know the answer, I'll say just that. I will get a couple of Egyptian students for your kids to communicate with as well via email or blogging. I hope this was of some help to you.
