  1. Which is totally haram by the way and you are writing an article as though nothing is wrong with the Egyptian community as a whole and she’s not a traitor, and nothing is wrong with her pimp father and nothing is wrong with a French guy who just wants to offend people by sleeping with an Egyptian woman. Well anyway long live the revolution!
