أنا المصرى ...

أنا المصرى ...

أنا اللى حفرت القناة و هزمت الغزاة .... أنا اللى بنيت الهرم و أطحت بالطغاة

أنا اللى أذهلت العالم يوم ما ترترت على الخط و بنيت السد و طردت الوغد

أنا الحضارة أنا التاريخ .. أنا منارة الاسلام وأرض المسيح

أنا الطيبة مع القوة أنا العفو مع القدرة أنا الارادة مع الصبرأنا الوحدة أنا الفعل مش رد الفعل

ده أرضى وده وطنى ... ده نيلى و ده هرمى

ده أرض الكنانة و مهد الحضارة .. ده أم الدنيا .. ده مصر

Speaking with myself !!!

Is it that difficult to lead a comfy life, a happy life? Why it has to be that difficult? Why do I have to be that drained and tired all the time struggling without having any guarantee that all that hard work would pay? Is this about faith? If it is, then do all people get to suffer like I do? Or it's something designed specifically for me?

Are we actually living or not? Is it just a huge dream and all this drama is just a part of it? Is it something in me that keeps me choosing the hard choices all the time? Do you think – if it is true – it's a good thing or a bad thing? Does this mean that I'm a hard core? Is this ambition? Why can't I just choose the easy pathway just like everyone else? Statistics prove that they all did great; however, it is not so appealing to me? Why? Why? Why?

I just look far ahead in future and I choose accordingly, am I correct? If I just followed the status quo, so I'm not here, this is what makes me feel I'm alive. However, it should be a source of great pleasure and happy feelings, it is not! Till now it is not! Do I have a problem with my faith, do I? Do I? Doooooo I? Someone please answer me!

يا الله يا ولى الصابرين - يا الله يا أرحم الأرحمين - يا مقدر الأقدار , يا مالك الملك , يا ذا الجلال و الاكرام - يا ربى يا من ليس لى سواه - يا من تجيب المضطر اذا دعاه - يا ربى لقد مسنى الضر و أنت أرحم الأرحمين – اللهم وفقنى فى مسعاى و اقدر لى الخير حيثما كان و كنت و رضنى به - اللهم اهدنا فيمن هديت و عافنا فيمن عافيت – اللهم انى اشكو لك ضعف قوتى و قلة حيلتى و هوانى على الناس – اللهم اشرح لى صدرى و يسر لى أمرى و احلل عقدة من لسانى يفقهوا قولى – انه من يهده الله فلا هادى له و من يضلل فلن تجد له وليا مرشدا – اللهم اجعلنا من المهتدين و لا تجعلنا من الضالين و لا تخرجنا من رحمتك يا ارحم الأرحمين و الحمد لله رب العالمين و الصلاة و السلام على أشرف المرسلين سيدنا محمد و على آله و أصحابه أجمعين.

What does R.S.V.P actually stands for?

Alsalam Alikom Game3an,
Hi all,
Hola Todos,

Recently, I was wondering about what does R.S.V.P.actually stands for? I used to get it when i receive any invitation for any event here on Facebook, I understood what I'm supposed to do, but i never thought about what does it actually mean till a few days ago, I don't know why?

Anyway, I started asking my friends, what does it mean? but no one knew actually, even my friends who have English as a 1st language, which was even weirder, so, I looked it up on the internet and that's what I got, I found it interesting as it originates from French language, so I thought I should share it with u all.

What RSVP Means ?
----------------------------
The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Why It's Inconsiderate to Not RSVP ?
-------------------------------------------------

An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.

So the next time you see R.S.V.P. on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.

Well, Hope that was informative for u, waiting for ur comments.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want to get.

Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we've became. Don't blame anyone but yourself :D

6.I Believe That..
Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. Just to emphasize that I'm different :D

7.I Believe That..
It's taking me a long time to become the person I wanna be. I'm not sure if what am I doing is the right thing to do, not sure what is it gonna get me to. Will I be the person that I wanna be someday?? I really don't know :(.

12.I Believe That..
You can keep going long after you think you can't, Just do your best to go for what you can, the rest is in ALLAH's hands.

We Will Not Go Down In Gaza Tonight

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you all ?

Today, Let me share with you the lyrics and the video of a really great song about Gaza, The 1st American video about Gaza ....
I won't comment about it, just read the lyrics and watch the video which is more than enough ...
--------------------------------------------------------
We Will not Go Down ... By Michael Heart
--------------------------------------------------------
A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight


O

Well, hope you enjoyed your time here, come back again ...

That's why we are the funniest population on Planet Earth

Alsalam Alikom,

Hello,

Hola,

How are you doing today ??

In this Topic I'm gonna post a couple of videos I've recently watched, They are Hilarious and shows our Egyptian way to cry out when we are so suppressed/depressed ...

The 1st video, Shows a punch of Medical Students, I think in the 6th year after a final oral exam., instead of Storming out, being Sad or depressed, they made fun of the situation in this video, this is a well known defense mechanism in psychiatry called "Humor", and this is one of the Mature Defense Mechanisms ... That's why we are still surviving, this is how we cope with stresses in our daily lives on different degrees ofcourse, but this is one of the most Hilarious videos I've ever seen, I guess at least we are mature after all, and when we face the q how are you coping with these stresses? I guess we should answer, coz we are more mature, we just make fun of, we laugh ... :D:D

Just watch the Video and enjoy ...





This is another Video in 2 parts about the Traffic in Cairo, Also one of the most Hilarious Videos i've ever seen .. Here is Part (1) ...



And Here is Part (2)



I hope you've enjoyed your time, please let me know your opinion & comments, they mean a lot to me & please come back soon.

Take care

Forget about Ahly, Zamalek and all Egyptian Soccer and watch these Amazing Videos

Alsalam Alikom,

Hello,

The 2nd one is even more amazing, Tracy McGrady or T-MaC ( Like Houston Fans Like To Call him) Scores 13 points in just 35 seconds to win the Game for Houston Rockets Vs San Antonio Spurs ... Both are like Ahly & Zamalek Here in Egypt ... Just watch and enjoy :D:D




Well, I Hope that you enjoyed your stay, come Back soon .. C ya

Ramadan Mobarak

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you all ??

Long time since my last post but a great time to be back to Say Ramadan Mobarak To You All and wish you all a blessed and Happy Ramadan ...



And let me suggest some few things to you that could help us not to waste this Holly month and get the best out of it ... I wish you all Approved Fasting, Approved DU'AA and Oldness from the fire INSHALLAH ...

These recommendation i'm telling myself too ...


So, 1st of all We have to follow Mr. Amr Khaled new program in Ramadan " Qasas AL Quran " will be aired on Mehwar and Resalah TV every day at 11:00 pm KSA, 10:00 pm CLT and repeat will be on Mehwar everyday after ElAsr Prayer ...



2nd ... Mr. Amr recommended a very great idea of making a table for your activities for the whole month ... where you schedule your activities ... for example ... Reading Quran .. every day a whole chapter, prayers in Time in Mosque, Taraweeh pray, Sadaka, calling family and friends, making DUAA ... etc. ... u just mark every day what you got done from the list .. this will motivate you to do a lot and keep track of your progress through The Holly Month ...


3rd and the last thing, is to prepare special DUAA to make in Ramadan ... All Sahaba were doing that and they swear that next Ramadan comes with all their DUAA's of previous Ramadan has been answered ...

At Last, all I can say is that this is a chance for us to wash out all what we have done the previous year so, why not to seize it ???? please do your best to seize it ...

Happy Ramadan ....

To Light a Small Candle is Better Than To Spend Your Life Cursing The Darkness

Alsalam Alikom,
Hello,
Hola,

How are you today ?

Today I wanna talk about something that has been bothering me for a while and keeps hitting my mind so i decided to let it out here ...

I wanna talk about a thing that is supposed to be a personal trait but the weired thing that in reality it is a community trait ...

I wanna talk about something that is holding us back and if we just stopped it or at least suppressed it for a while, I think our lives will improve a lot ....

Wanna know what I wanna talk about ???

Well continue reading & you will know ... :D

I wanna talk about us complaining all the time about our bad life circumstances and never do anything about it ...

Just complaining, screaming, shouting, cursing .. but never thinking what to do to change it ..

The weired thing that this should be a personal trait, i mean this should be how a person a like, this is his/her character, but not to be a trait that all the community share ???

If you watched the Movie " Yakobian Building " .... " عمارة يعقوبيان " ..... Khaled Saleh in a Scence said a sentence that is completely true ... He said
" People are looking at the government as if she is their mothers " ....
" الشعب ماسك فى الحكومة كأنها أمه "

Although he said it in another context, but when i thought about it, i said to myself yeh this is completely true ...
How ?? & please don't jump into conclusions and start judging me ... just read till the end to understand my point ...

Moms in our countries always do everything for their kids, and kids always expect that from their Moms and we grow up, get out of our homes to the real life, face difficulties and see the reality of life and how hard it actually is and this causes a lot of negative feelings inside us that we have to look for a relief for them ... How do we do that ??

Simple, by throwing the responsibility on the government, even if we share part of this responsibility ... I'm not saying that this is how everyone reacts, but a great proportion of us do so ...

Every difficulty in our lives, every problem we face, every hardship, directly the government is announced responsible...

I'm not saying that it is not responsible, of course it is ... but what I'm aiming at, what did we do about it ??? we just stop at defining the responsibility, then wait for the responsible to have an action, what if he didn't ?? what will be the situation?? what we gonna do ??? No one knows , No one thinks, No one takes an action ...

Let me ask you something ...

What if you are living in a building that needs some serious repairs or else it will collapse, and the owner of the building or the president of the Owner's Union is someone who is corrupted and won't take any action & you tried every single method to force him to repair it but he still didn't???
What will be the most appropriate action you gonna take ??

A) Will you keep holding him the responsibility then keep on complaining, shouting, cursing, screaming may be crying and never take an action till the building collapses on you and your family ???

Or

B) Will you take an action, start planning with other residents/owners to repair the building on your expenses for the sake of yourself and your little family???

Of course, you should choose B ...

Although this is a very simple and very logic choice but when it comes to reality the majority chooses A ... I don't know why ?? I can't figure out a reason for such a silly choice ...

I think the problem is that we don't see the bigger picture, we don't understand that the building will collapse, I think this is the reason ... and Hence my post here, that i wish it could raise the public awareness, of course if the public read this, but if i only got just 1 person to see the bigger picture, then my job is done ...

What I mean is that We don't have to wait for the government to do everything for us, everyone who can fix anything should do it .. you are not doing it for the government you are doing it for yourself, this is our government and this is our country we can't work against each other, we have to work in a synergistic way, we complete each other ...

for example, if you complain of garbage that is everywhere, then you have to know that this is your garbage, you made it yourself, so if you don't like it then next time you should not throw it in the streets, when you driving your car, don't open the window to throw an empty can then complain of Garbage and remember the Hadith that says :

" اماطة الأذى عن الطريق صدقة "

& so if u can't remove it from the street, then at least don't complicate the problem more and more ...

Of course this is a very simple example, but if u thought about it, you'll see that you can apply it to every single aspect of our lives, if you have a problem, then try to figure out a solution for it ... for example if you complaining of bad education, then you can look for advanced courses, I personally hold a great respect to some of my friends who took a step forward than that, back in college they ran for a position in the student association and when they succeeded they started so many useful activities, they started arranging their student conference, which was a 1st in my faculty, that we hold a conference that is totally arranged by students, and they started arranging for courses in moderate & convenient fees for all students, they even started a student exchange program where some of our colleges traveled abroad through this program and gained a lot of experiences ....

Believe me it is easy to find a solution, if you really wanna find one, you just need to think with hope and faith in ALLAH and trust that ALLAH will reward your activities all the way ...

And you also need to do something else, you need to live as ALLAH and his Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told you to live ... ALLAH created us to do 3 things ..

1. Worshiping ALLAH ... عبادة الله
   
2. Building Civilization on earth ..... عمارة الأرض
3. Improving yourself to reach honesty in your worship of ALLAH .... تزكية النفس
   

N.B.
تزكية النفس هو العلم الذى اذا طبقته يتحقق الاخلاص فى العبادة بمعنى ما يردده لسانك يردده قلبك فى نفس الوقت

And to do no. 2 we need....

- To work together ... most of our problems especially in the Arab world is that we can't work together, we are stubborn enough that no one can ever be flexible to listen to others opinions and actually follow them if they are correct ..

- To make our aim is the welfare of our countries and the Islamic UMMAH ... If you ever tried to do even a very little thing but with your intention is the welfare of the UMMAH, believe me the feeling is priceless, the best feeling that you can ever think of ... just try it once and you will never leave it ... and Remember the Verse that says ..

" و من أحياها فكأنما أحيا الناس جميعا "


- To play on the referee whistle ... I mean you gotta work to improve our lives, to build civilization till the last breath of your life, even on the death bed ... From where i get that concept ??? ... From the prophet's Hadith ....

اذا قامت الساعة و بيد أحدكم فسيلة فليغرسها "
صدق رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم

What is the meaning of this Hadith ??

It is an order from our Prophet to plant a seed if you have one in your hands even if the Apocalypse has started already i.e. play on the referee whistle, this is a clear identification of our role on planet earth, to build civilization ... even during Apocalypse and to have Hope till the last breathe .. i.e. it is a call for hard work, hope in tomorrow and to be optimistic ....

ِAnd at last ...

To light a Small Candle is Better Than To Spend Your Life Cursing the Darkness

I'm done talking, Hope that I had delivered my message ...

By the way, there is a really great book that can help you change your life .. it is named " How to stop worrying and start living " by Dale Carnegie ... Here is the link to it in Amazon ...

http://www.amazon.com/How-Stop-Worrying-Start-Living/dp/0671035975/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214485915&sr=1-1

If you are interested, you can order it from Amazon, and you can find it in Virigin in Citystars, or in ElKotobkhan bookshop in Maadi ... Also, I think you'll find a translation for this great book in Arabic ... just ask for it ...

Talk to you later, waiting for your comments ...

Salam,
Bye,
Adios

Hemaya Campaign ... "Stop Drugs .. Change Your Life"

Alsalamo Alikom,

How are you all today ??

This Post is about Hemaya Campaign Against Drugs ... Its Title is " Stop Drugs ... Change Your Life " ... It's arranged by Hemaya Organization in Collaboration with Right Start Organization represented by Mr. Amr Khaled and Dubai Police Department .... The Following is a detailed description of everything regarding this campaign ....

I just wanna dedicate special thanks to my brother Ibrahim Hamdy who has provided me with the translated version of the campaign details so that I can post it here ... Jazak ALLAH Khayran ...

Please read it then try to contribute by any mean you can .. Thanks for your time ... Jazakom ALLAH Khayran ..

Hemaya Campaign

• A Quick Overview of the Current Situation:

1. The number of drug addicts in the Middle East has reached 10 million addicts, four of which happen to be in Egypt

2. The number of drug abusers, unfortunately, far exceeds the mentioned number of addicts

3. The counts are expected to further boom as a consequence of the decrease in drug prices, lack of job opportunities and spread of depression among youth

4. There’s continuous increase in the spread of crimes, ranging from rape to theft, road accidents, domestic violence, which are all threats to the safety of society

5. Drug addiction is no longer a “male” practice, it’s spreading among females which further threatens societal order

6. The number of drug addicts who sought treatment in the past three years has not outnumbered 4 thousand addicts

7. The spread of drug addiction among prisoners and the absence of any facility to treat them is another threat to societal order

عرض سريع للوضع الحالي

1- بلغ عدد مدمني المخدرات في العالم العربي حوالي 10 مليون مدمن وفي مصر وحدها حوالي 4 مليون مدمن.

2- يبلغ عدد المتعاطين للمخدرات أضعاف الرقم السابق.

3- يتوقع زيادة مطرده في هذه الاعداد نتيجة لانخفاض اسعار المخدرات وزيادة معدلات البطالة والاحباط لدى الشباب.

4- هناك تزايد مستمر في انتشار الجرائم الكبرى (الاغتصاب والقتل) والصغري (السرقة) وحوداث الطرق وجرائم العنف الاسري (بسبب ادمان الاب او الابن) مما يشكل تهديد متزايد لأمن المجتمع العربي.

5- الإدمان لم يعد منتشرا بين الذكور فقط وإنما تتزايد نسبته بين الإناث أيضا، مما يهدد بانتشار الجرائم الاخلاقية في المجتمع.

6- إجمالي عدد من توجه للعلاج في السنوات الثلاثة الاخيرة في العالم العربي لا يزيد عن 4 الالاف مدمن سنويا فقط.

7- انتشار الادمان بين المسجونين في السجون العربية مع عدم وجود آلية لعلاج هؤلاء المسجونين تمثل خطر مستقبلي كبير.

• The Concern:

The main concern is that current attempts to deal with the issue of drug addiction by governments, police departments, or specialized authorities are inefficient and ineffective. They are incapable of achieving tangible change in either preventing new incidences of drug addiction or convincing current abusers to simply start the journey to recovery….the failure to promote change is not because such attempts are incompetent. Rather, because the issue of drug addiction is bigger than that, it requires a collaboration between those authorities, society, volunteers to start a ripple effect... to start change through a period of intensive work on the issue of drug addiction, start an effect, and hand the issue back on to the specialized authorities. This is the goal of our intensive, campaign!

المشكلة: -

حقيقة المشكلة أن الجهود الحالية المبذولة من جانب الحكومات وأجهزة الشرطة والجهات المتخصصة غير كافية وغير قادرة على تحقيق نتائج ملموسة سواء في اقناع الإصحاء من الشباب ليتجنبوا هذه الافة أو لاقناع المدمنين الحاليين بان يبدأو برنامج العلاج. وذلك ليس بسبب عدم كفاءة هذه الاجهزة لكن بسبب أن المشكلة أكبر من ان يقوم بحلها جهاز أو إدارة أو حكومة وإنما يحتاج الأمر إلي مشاركات بين هذه الجهات جميعا ومعها الجهات الشعبية والتطوعية لتهز المجتمع الشبابي كله لفترة محددة ومكثفة ثم تسلم نتائج عملها لهذه الجهات المتخصصة لتتابع عملها بعد هذه الحملة التوعوية الشعبية.

• The Campaign’s Goals:

The main goal of the campaign is to integrate society in the process of tackling the issue of drug addiction through = >

1. spreading awareness among non-users and so preventing new incidences of drug use…or abuse.

2. encouraging addicts to simply start a rehabilitation program .
This will take place through an intensive 5-week campaign, in which society is encouraged to participate

هدف الحملة :

تهدف الحملة إلي إشراك المجتمع في جهود التوعية لابعاد الاجيال الجديدة عن تعاطي وإدمان المخدارت وذلك بالتركيز علي أمرين اساسين :

1- اقناع وتوعية الاصحاء ليبقوا اصحاء.

2- توجيه المدمنين ليبدأو برنامج العلاج.

وسيتم ذلك من خلال حملة لمدة خمس اسابيع مطلوب فيها من المجتمع المشاركة في تحقيق الهدف.

• Means of Achieving the Goals:

1. Printing out a million stickers saying “no” to drugs.
2. Organizing 5 thousand events in the Arab world.
3. Encouraging 5 thousand drug abusers to start a rehabilitation program.

وسائل تحقيق الهدف :

سيتم قياس تحقيق الهدف من خلال ثلاثة وسائل محددة قابلة للقياس وهي كما يلي :

1- وضع مليون استكير بعنوان "لا للمخدرات".

2- إقامة خمسة الاف Event في العالم العربي.

3- توجيه خمسة الالاف مدمن عربي لبدء برنامج العلاج .

• Means of Achieving the Goals, in more detail…

1. Sticking a million stickers saying no to drugs in various areas were youth usually hang around; clubs, universities, high schools, public places,… a sticker has been specially designed and will be posted on the internet for everyone to print out and stick. There will be a count of the number of stickers printed to ensure that the goal is reached!

2. Organizing five thousand events in which awareness would take place, an event can be a concert, lecture, marathon, Friday-prayer “khotba”, newspaper article…etc.
Those first two steps pave the way to the third step

3. Encouraging five thousand addicts to start a rehabilitation program: this is a hard yet attainable goal, especially after accommodating the atmosphere of youth through the stickers, flyers, brochures and events. The goal is to start the rehabilitation process and not rehabilitate, since the rehabilitation process takes from four to six months… the goal is to encourage the addicts to start treatment through contacting the call centers or emails specially designed to receive their requests and refer them to the rehabilitation centers… collaborations have been made with most of the rehabilitation centers available in the Arab world to provide beds for the campaign and give up to 50% discounts on rehabilitation for the addicts entering through the campaign….there will also a proportion of beds reserved for free admission of those incapable of covering the expenses. The numbers of call centers, and the emails will be broadcasted through the various media channels

شرح وسائل تحقيق الهدف :

1- وضع مليون استكير بعنوان "لا للمخدرات" في أماكن تجمعات الشباب مثل النوادي والجامعات والمدراس الثانوي وغيرها من الاماكن العامة الشبابية. وقد تم تصميم استكير موحد سيوضع على مواقع الانترنت المختلفة ليسهل طباعته وتقليده مع وضع عداد على مواقع الانترنت للتاكد من تحقيق المستهدف.

2- إقامة خمسة الالاف Event في العالم العربي يقوم بها الشباب بتوعية بعضهم البعض مثل (حفل غنائي – خطبة جمعة – ندوة مدرسية – برنامج فضائي -ماراثون جري – فقرة في الإذاعة المدرسية – ندوة دينية – مقال صحفي- ندوة مع شخصية مشهورة ... إلي غير ذلك).

على أن يتم توفير أفكار ومواد دعائية للشباب على مواقع الانترنت المختلفة ليقوموا بطباعتها واستخدامها، وسيتم ايضا وضع عداد على مواقع الانترنت المختلفة كوسيلة قياس لتحقيق المستهدف.

· تعتبر الوسيلة الاولى والثانية السابقتين تمهيدا مهما واساسيا لتحقيق المستهدف الثالث والاخير.

3- توجيه 5 الالاف مدمن عربي لبدء برنامج العلاج : وهو مستهدف صعب وليس بالسهل لكنه قابل للتحقيق، خاصة وأنه سياتي بعد تهيئة الاجواء بين الشباب من خلال المليون استكير والـ 5000 Event . والمقصود هنا هو بدأ برنامج العلاج وليس العلاج نفسه فمن المعروف أن العلاج يستغرق فترة من اربع إلي ستة اشهر بينما المستهدف هنا هو بدء برنامج العلاج بمعنى أن تتحرك إرادة المدمن نفسه ويتصل بحملة حماية من خلال الـCall Center المخصص لذلك أو الايميل السري المخصص لذلك ليطلب توصيله بالمراكز المعالجة للادمان ليبدأ برنامج العلاج. وقد تم الاتفاق مع معظم مراكز علاج الادمان في العالم العربي لتوفير الاسرة بشكل خاص لحملة حماية وعمل خصومات مالية تصل إلي 50 % للمدمنين القادمين من طرف الحملة، كما تم الاتفاق ايضا مع هذه المراكز لتوفير جزء مجاني من الاسرة والعلاج للفقراء حتى لا تكون الحملة للاغنياء فقط. وسيتم الاعلان عن ارقام الـ Call Center والايميل السري والمراكز العلاجية من خلال الفضائيات والصحف والاذاعات ومواقع الانترنت.
