Egypt: Back to revolutionProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
October 8, 2013
Two months after Egypt's events of June 30, a domestic opinion poll found 68 percent of the respondents call the events a "revolution." But the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters in Egypt, Qatar and Turkey and some of the pro-democracy activists in the West still deny that the events should be called a "revolution."

November 5, 2013
The US silence regarding the terror committed by the Brotherhood and their supporters against civilians especially Copts, police and army personal in Sinai and across the rest of Egypt is harming its global war on terrorism.
Portraits: Paris, London, York and Montmartre - Part 1/3 Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
November 19, 2013
I encountered Paris and London three times, two times at a distance some 60 years ago as a boy growing up in Cairo, the first was a happy encounter in the early 1950s and the second was a sad one when the two capitals were involved in the invasion of Egypt in 1956. The third time was last week as a visitor to the two capitals.
Portraits: Paris, London, York and Montmartre - Part 2/3 Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
November 28, 2013
I love the portrait of the 1800 Strand, where I stayed in London this summer, given by British author E. V. Lucas, in his classic A Wanderer in London. He says, "The most Bohemian of London streets, if the Strand could cross to Paris it would instantly burgeon into a boulevard. Its prevailing type is of the stage: the blue chin of Thespis is very apparent there, and the ample waistcoat of the manager is prominent too."

Time has dealt kindly with York. Still it is possible to find here almost continuous pageant of the ages from Roman times, and possibly even earlier than that, down to the president day.

Somerset Maugham's Malaysia: Sarawak and Sabah, Part 1/2Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
January 16, 2014
To motivate my touring of the island of Borneo with temperature in the 30s and humidity in the 90s - just the thought of it moisten my face with drops of sweat that run off my forehead and over my glasses - I read the 1869 two-volume classic by Dr. Alfred Russel Wallace; The Malay Archipelago, the Land of the Orang-Utan and the Bird of Paradise.
Visiting Brunei the Abode of PeaceProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
January 16, 2014
Several reasons motivated me to visit Brunei. It is oil rich, tiny, safe, not touristy, has a Malay Islamic culture and a beautiful nature. Two more: (1) Its head of state Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah is a graduate of Egypt's Al Azhar and (2) Brunei is ranked in the top ten of the happiest country in the world along with Canada. Literacy rate here is among the highest in the world at about 95%.
