at the beganing of open the center , there was a report in Al- ahram weekely which hae some people talked about the center as apart of conspiracy theories ! it wasn't surprise me ! we as a Egtption fond of talking about conspiracy theories ! that's make us Look at everything that comes from the West this image . iam n't going to deny the idea complately but pot in your mind this question : what is the wrong of having good education from appropriate teachers - what ever the place which they come from - to adult people ?
i think the answer will be ( no problems ) specially with the idea which mentioned in the prophet's (saw) says: Wisdom is the goal of the believer wherever he found it .
ok ! can you add to your mind anew idea ! which is most american people hates wars and want to make anew relationship whith others ! i notice it from the people who i met him at the center .
i think thats our chance now to make mutual understanding between Islam and west and that is our responsibility for ourseles and our children .
Hi Aml. Thanks for your writing, I enjoyed reading it. Interesting to hear your comments about conspiracy theories in Egypt. Why do you think Egyptians are fond of conspiracy theories?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that there is nothing wrong with having a good education from good teachers. If I have the opportunity to get a good education of course I will take it. And I like "wisdom is the goal of the believer wherever he found it." I have always believed that I should be able to learn from my best friend or my worst enemy. Sometimes my worst enemy may say something wise and sometimes my best friend may say something that is unwise.
About your new idea.
I agree that most American people hate wars but I think that for most Americans the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan only exist on TV. They cannot really feel and see the wars.
Do you know that over the last 4 years over 30,000 people have been killed in a drug war in Mexico? I know Egypt is not involved in this war but my point is, can you feel and see the reality of the drug war in Mexico? My guess is that it will be very hard for you to really imagine it clearly because Mexico seems so far away and foreign to you. This is what the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are like to most Americans. Even if they know they are real it is like a movie not real life.
So most Americans do not have strong feelings about wars and many do not think carefully. Many support the wars because it is more difficult psychologically to oppose your country's wars.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
And I think you know how I feel about the importance of mutual understanding already.
I would have liked to have heard your thoughts on other parts of the article (the American funding, mental effect on students, change Azhar curricula etc.).
Hi Aml.I have read what you wrote and I agree with you that the Muslim has to learn even from his enemy.We have to think deeply about this.Not everything comes from the west ,we take the best for our self.And with optimistic view to the future to our new generations.
