- If that was true, you would have erased that gibberish. Do you know why Egyptians call you Abdelgawad? Because they can't do better than that. Do you
- know why nonEgyptians call you Abdelgawad? Because you told them so, so how
- genius of you to use this excuse! We, nonEgyptians, spell our names as they
- originally must be pronounced. So if someone is called "gasim" or "asim" in
- Jordan, he spells his name in Arabic "qasim" not "ghasim", "asim" or whatever,
- and he spells it in English "Qasim" or "Kasim" because of the lack of "qaf" in
- English.

- Are you serious or treating us as geniuses of the kind you are? I am really
- confused here.

- " That's how ignorant and idiot you are. You make me wonder if you're an

- And, Hamaza, you could have done better than this.
