“Everest is regarded as one of, if not the most challenging of human conquests. I was passionate about climbing and a great believer that one should always challenge their own perception of where their boundaries lie. Everest seemed like an irrational challenge for an Egyptian, so I embraced it wholeheartedly.

The desire and pride of representing my country and raising the Egyptian flag on the highest points on earth has been with me ever since.”

He, deceived by all the deities, betrayed by their emissaries, he, himself, must undertake to usher in justice upon the earth.”

“To engage in war is always to pick a wild card. And war must always be a last resort, not a first choice. I truly must question the judgment of any president who can say that a massive unprovoked military attack on a nation which is over 50 percent children is ‘in the highest moral traditions of our country.'”
