We are all fortunate to have you report on the Egyptian revolution. May the Egyptian people be rewarded for their patience and discipline.

Tomorrow 14 Feb Iranian youth will March at 3pm toward Tehran’s liberation Sq to continue your path. They have called it Egypt/Iran Valentine day. Let all Egyptians know. Let all Egyptians gather at TAHRIR Sq tomorrow 3pm in their support of your Iranian brothers. Iranian regime is much more violent than Mobarak. Iranians need your help. Give them your love and support. Let this message explode among our Egyptian brothers and
sisters.”

Hi

Please accept this Invetation from your Iranian Sisters and Brothers.

From an Israeli who fully supported the Egyptian revolt, who is ashamed of Israel’s past alliance with the Shah and SAVAK and who despises Ahmadinajad and the mullahs, I wish the Iranian demonstrators for democracy everthing they deserve. They are brave beyond belief. Larry Derfner, journalist, Jerusalem Post

Ho Mona, I just heard you for the first time on “The Spirit of Things” in Australia…. you are one smart woman and i wish you all power and success in everything you are trying to achieve. And I wish all Arabs who have been subjected to dictatorial dictatorships all power and success in their path to self-determination. When I see people achieving liberation I cry tears of joy!

RE: lalamono @monaeltahawy can u recommend a gd Egyptian womens/hum rts/democ org 2 donate 2? My daughter’s 3rd bday party’s going to be a fundraiser : )

I think that adult parties should be fundraisers rather than kids parties. Kids deserve a special day for them where they get things. Birthdays are only one day a year – it is not like they are getting toys and books every week or every month!

If a kid’s party will be the excuse, a good charity would be toys and books for kids who don’t have any – that one buys something half as expensive as one would otherwise and give an identical present to a poor or orphaned child or a child with a martyred parent. That way you can still do good and the child will still be a child.

mona how can you say that nowhere in the quran it says that women have to wear a hijab and/or niqab? it is written in 2 places in fact. so dont go around spreading false statistics.

Hi Mona,

I am writing you on behalf of a new thinktank based in London called the Center for Secular Space. Could you please send me an email address? I would like to send you an invitation and our concept paper. Thanks.
