W eiiiiiiis ma idir ya3rif ana men wein, kif baddo ykammil 7ayeto shab el security? Anyway el security hon wel amen mostatebb.

I really don't understand why people, especially jame3et el amniet men security la kouwa amen la jeish la ze3ran, have to ask you where you're from (implicitly what sect you belong to). Eno khaye ok wa2t el 7areb you needed to ask la tedba7o eza toli3 men gher tayfe bas halla2 SHOU KHASSAK TES2AL! Why do you assume that if i'm from 'the other' religion/sect I will blow everything up? Cheh!

Regardless of the blatant sectarianism still sadly rooted in this county, I would advise owners of projects such as Beit Misk to work more on their PR, people going in and watching is actually good advertisement, la shou bet 7awlo kel shi la mourabba3at amnieh! Walla zhe2na wein ma badde ebrom bhal balad ble2e bawebet 7adid w desham beton! W men samme 7alna balad syie7e?

P.S.: Shou osset el sayyarat bala nomra hal 2yiem?
