It's all very sad, it doesn't look like peaceful protesting and niether do I understand why the army cannot use water hoses or plastic bullets or something that doesn't kill people.

May Allaah cause them to find a way out of this mess, our duaa is with all the Egyptian people.

كل شيء محزن للغاية، فإنه لا تبدو وكأنها احتجاج السلمي، والقيام لا أفهم لماذا الجيش لا يمكن استخدام خراطيم المياه أو الرصاص المطاطي أو شيء لا تقتل الناس.

وصلى الله وتسبب لهم لإيجاد طريقة للخروج من هذه الفوضى، دعاء لدينا هو مع كل الشعب المصري

JazakaAllahu khair akhee,

I was hoping they had a scholarship for international students, do you know if they do? I'd like to know if a woman can attend, but have her Mahram attend another University at the same time.

hi,

Since this forum is suppose to be about learning lanuages I will comment on the essay. The essay was very confusing and full on contradictions and needs improving with regards to its structure and grammar, but you have definately made excellent progress in learning English- keep up the good work. I'm not an English teacher but this is just my humble critique!

It appears that you seem to be having doubts in your Religion. I am quite a religious person and have been since childhood. I was bought up as a Christian (The Church of England) but decided to become a Muslim when I was a teenager. I have been a Muslim for 23 years and (All praise and thanks belongs to Allaah) throughout that time I have seen thousands of Muslim women and spoken to hundreds on various issues; I can safely say that our main goal in life is having a close relationship with our Creator and doing those things which He loves, likes and is pleased with and obstaining from those things that He has made unlawful. 

I truly believe from the depth of my heart that The Creator of the Universe, the One who sustains it and controls its affairs and provides for all its needs and He alone deserves to be worshipped, has not left mankind alone without guidance. He created mankind with intellect, reason and a natural ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. But truth cannot be blindly accepted, it must be preceded by credible proof which continues to be convincing.

Mankind has free will and will ultimately choose a path that leads to alternate distinations but he will do so consciously.

I hope you have a happy journey in your search for happiness, inner peace, love and truth.

Cockney is mainly spoken in East London. A lot of the words are slang and some are just pronouced differently. If you are able to watch an episode of 'Eastenders', this would help you understand the difference. I'm cockney myself but my accent has lessened due to moving to another City. If you have a 'well-educated' accent, that doesn't necessary mean you are educated!

correct english: water, bath

cockney: woo'ar, barth

wiki:Changing attitudes towards Cockney English
The Cockney accent has long been looked down upon and thought of as inferior by many. In 1909 these attitudes even received an official recognition thanks to the report of The Conference on the Teaching of English in London Elementary Schools issued by the London County Council, where it is stated that "the Cockney mode of speech, with its unpleasant twang, is a modern corruption without legitimate credentials, and is unworthy of being the speech of any person in the capital city of the Empire". On the other hand, however, there started rising at the same time cries in defence of Cockney as, for example the following one: "The London dialect is really, especially on the South side of the Thames, a perfectly legitimate and responsible child of the old kentish tongue, the dialect of London North of the Thames has been shown to be one of the many varieties of the Midland or Mercian dialect, flavoured by the East Anglian variety of the same speech . Since then, the Cockney accent has been more accepted as an alternative form of the English Language rather than an "inferior" one; in the 1950s the only accent to be heard on the BBC (except in entertainment programmes such as Sooty) was RP, whereas nowadays many different accents, including Cockney or ones heavily influenced by it, can be heard on the BBC.
