That night i was in the guest room with Jade. I asked her to tell me all about her religion and her history about Egypt. She was surprised i asked her about and she proudly told me."dietary codes are rules we have to do. We have to stay away from certain foods because our religion, it is bad if we eat meat or if we drink alcohol; which i think you already noticed that. We also have to do a lot of praying, when we pray we have to say thank you to Allah which you know as Dios (God). Muslims are obliged to pray five times everyday. We woman also pray but in a different area, we cant be near men. That brings a different rule up we cant show our body hair or face, that's why we wear the clothes we wear. Men will never know how are body shape is, our facial expression nor if we are pretty or just ugly. In our history well, the Egyptian dynasty united with the with the lower kingdoms. In the 525 BC Egypt came under Persian control than in the 642 AD Muslim invaded making a big outcome of people becoming Muslims. We fought two wars which included Israel. - We lost the Sinai Peninsula in 1967. Than Sadat liberated us from economic policy's and signed a peace treaty with Israel. Afterwards Sadat was assassinated. The Muslims assassinated him because they didn't agree with him. He was recognized as a leader because we were the first Arab Nation that signed a peace treaty with Israel. Since, we have kept the tradition while we adapt to modernity." Wow Jade that is of things you have in your past and in your present I told her... that was a very long night!
