That happened around three weeks ago, and it popped into my mind today as I was driving to work. I just had to rant about it before it festered and gave me emotional poison! "you know them, you know how they think 7egab is bee2a" said by my good friend of 16 years! She's been married for a while now, her husband is more on the religious side than her mother's family; he had asked her not to wear swimwear where men could see her and not have her hair cut by men. He also said he'd love it if she gets veiled but he'd never really ask her to do it because it's her decision. She started dressing rather modestly; no more shorts or sleeveless tops to put his mind at ease.

She was telling me how she wants to get veiled to please her husband and to stop her family from asking why she no longer swims when they go to the beach, but she's dreading their reaction because they think veil is not classy!!

I am not saying they're ill mannered or generally unethical; all I am saying is that the only way they'd positively judge a "religious" group of people would be if they were filthy rich, but in a classy way, whatever that's supposed to mean!! I've always known her mom never liked me because she first heard of me when I had gotten veiled; you see, tan

There is nothing more stupid or frustrating. This is like going into a bookshop that bans reading. They shouldn't sell cameras. I don't carry a pen with me all the time and if I do I won't be carrying a note pad. I take photos of products to remember the name, model and price. No one will pay 5390 EGP without researching the bloody thing they are buying. And this is not the first time I take pictures of what I want to buy. Nor is it the first time I take photos inside Radioshack. Morons.
