Sadat family sues over dog named after former president    Roee Nahmias
1. And people say Americans are litigious?
This is really a stupid move on the part of Sadat's daughter because it's only going to garner a lot of free publicity for the movie. Can't she just find herself an imam who'll issue a fatwa? Not only that, but don't Egyptians have anything better to worry about? Because if they don't, I think the U.S. should probably stop the nearly $3 billion welfare check we send them every year (and for which we get nothing in return) since, right now, our own economy is hurtling headlong down the crapper.

2. Great news - there are movie theaters in Egypt!
But if they had iMAX, how would the women watch it if they have a burqa that has a hole for only one eye?

movie break to curb your uptight mood. Sadat's nephew has the right attitude, why can't you?

5. I Wish Anwar Sadat Were Alive
If only Anwar Sadat were alive then he would clearly see the insulting and depreciating reward he gets from the US for expelling 15,000 Soviet military advisers, for severing Egypt's diplomatic relations with the former Soviet Union, and for throwing himself and Egypt altogether into the lap of the USA ... ! Egyptians know beyond doubt it was the Soviet Union that built the Aswan High Dam,equipped the Egyptian armed forces with sophisticated weapons,and stood by Egypt diplomatically especially in the forums of the United Nations.After Egypt's disgraceful defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War it was the Soviet Union that bore the task of rebuilding the Egyptian armed forces.Even Soviet pilots engaged IAF jet fighters in dogfights ( some of whom got killed while defending Egyptian airspace ) during the 1968-1970 War of Attrition. Yet upon the termination of the 1973 Yom Kippur War Anwar Sadat brazenly turned his back to the Soviets and started begging and hugging the US. Now let Sadat's family and all Egyptians see the true face of America ... ! I advise Egyptians to pocket the insults !

6. Could you just throw up....
The disgusting, defamatory shit that comes out of Egypt and every other arab country about Jews, Israel and our people - now they want to SUE over a parody of Sadat in a movie?! I happen to think Sadat was one of history's true heroes. But common - to sue over an insult - which is then an "insult to the Egyptian nation" is over the top retarded.

7. Maybe the dog should sue for being called
"sadat"?

next time you address a post better write something relevant and not just trash like your friend Gregorius.

9. #2 Jonny, remember the series about Jews making Mazza?
Try to guess how Jews in Egyptian TV series make Mazza - the traditional bread for passover? I was joking about the burqa and you showed a very Islamic sense of humor.

no Arab reffer to Jerusalem as part of Israel ,in the past ,present or in the future ...it will be always ..occupied jerusalem ....therefore ,you are either mistaken ,or your mom did not raise you well ...or an israeli decoy .

11. #10 - Its HILARIOUS how you think ...
you speak for all of the arabs in the world. Surprise pal - you don't.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.06.09)
12. John: Like I said, you're being over-sensitive
which, in fact, IS relevant to point out because it bespeaks an attitude similar to the over-reactiveness and over-senitivities of too many folks in the Muslim world. Surely you can find something more productive to do than call people racists and trash because they think burkas are unattractive symbols of feminine oppression.

13. Sadat was a good man
To name a dog after him. Why? what are those peoples politics to do that? Sadat was a man of vision. a hero. The people on these boards who talk trash about him are disgusting. He wanted peace. He knew he was risking his life when he came on that place to Israel. He will always be my hero. I am Jewish.

14. #4 - Response to irate John #3
Don't worry about John. Judging from his attitude and name, he's more likely a self-righteous Leftist foreigner coming to gather intelligence and join his friends at the ISM soon. Certainly he's not in Jerusalem to bridge cultures or do anyone any good. I wonder which dog looks like John.

15. #5 - Abdel - Certain more superficial than that
In America, they're just used to bashing everyone in the media, including their own presidents. It's an act of free speech (though no one dare criticize Obama the way they did Bush). My guess is it's simply an extension of this and some obscure writer decided to make himself look smart by targeting a name not many 20-somethings know today. It's certainly not more deep or vicious than that.

16. To # 10
Just keep your false wisdom to yourself . I wish your Palestinian Authority or HAMAS were any better than Israel itself . Unfortunately neither the PA nor HAMAS is any better, so I have no compunction to write ISRAEL . To put it simply : I can not tolerate being wronged by your corrupt Palestinian Authority as much as I hereby make it clear I am much opposed to HAMAS policy of forced Islamization. Once your Palestinians care a bit about me I would start feeling otherwise. Until then I will keep writing " ISRAEL " ... ! Abdel Karim Salim Sharif

17. Fadi: God does not care what the Romans or Arabs call it
(08.06.09)
18. #10 - Andy #11 is right
Fadi - you can call Jerusalem whatever name you want. But the fact is it's Jewish (always has been) and it's in Israel's hands now and always will be. The fact that you deny reality and try to revise history just show's your bankrupt nature and apparently, you're mother didn't raise you right. But, as Andy pointed out, you don't speak for all Arabs. There are many who admit Jerusalem is in Israel...including several important Imams.

19. to #14
william as usual you are trying to act as a smart ass. how can you judge a person from his name. I am in no way a leftist neither a rightist just a simple person born in Jerusalem and still living in it since fifty or more years in spite of your stinking nose.
John ,   JERUSALEM   (08.06.09)
20. "Stinking nose" eh, John? NOW, WHO'S THE RACIST??
