Ppl r fighting 4 there freedom and their children's bread , and others setting in a beauty saloon criticising them !! What a shame

The quotes the writer posted here may or may not be accurate, only the writer and the people who were quoted know that bit of reality. However, there are no great revelations here which demand verification, and thus, given the current circumstances in Egypt, posting the names of these people was unnecessary and not beneficial to their safety.

Sounds like you're criticizing those who TRY to enjoy the remaining bits and pieces of freedom in their own country they've got...

But using a quote that one of them said in order to prove a point against them and elaborate on the class discrepancy we all know Egypt has is just so 2005.

We all know there are only either WEALTHY or POOR people in Egypt, doesn't make it okay for you to imply that the wealthy are "embarrassing our country" by going out for a cup of coffee and reminiscing about their past freedom.....because they triggered this revolution to begin with ;)

The writer says of Mubarak; "Let the man make a decent exit"?! The whole point is that he is REFUSING to make a decent exit! Or perhaps might if he can install the VP, an even worse tyrant, apparently.

THe National Democratic Party of Egypt is an embaressment, and it must GO!

Obama is an embaressment, you come to Egypt and promise freedom, and then you side with Mumbarak. Americans will vote you out.

Dear LAUREN E. BOHN and SARAH LYNCH,
Please show both sides of the story, dont just mention the spoiled side of zamalek. Zamalek was protected by its people throughout the days of the revolution without the aid of the police nor the army. We stood holding our guns and weapons on the entrances of our neighborhood. We caught several criminals and people who escaped from prison and our neighborhood stayed untouched till the minute am typing this comment full of eager. Also most of its people are regularly in medan al tahrir and a few of them were prisoned, injured and shot in the revolution. Am waiting for another article soon or an apology to the area that protected itself and its men showed all Egyptians how to transform your life and become a soldier when its time for it. is that the quote
Note: you quoted are from people that are not from this neighborhood. I saw the name when you released this article before you edited it and i asked where this person lives.
Thank you,
A 24 year old man that was prisoned on January the 28th, protected his neighborhood since the 30th and lives in "zamalek".

To the writers of this artice,

I think the title of the artice is very harsh. People going back to their daily life and doing what they used to do, doesn't mean that they are an emabressment to the country; no matter what their political views are.

Lauren and Sarah,

I regret to say that your article is in extremely bad taste. It comes off as being biased, inflammatory and sensationalist.

As a resident of Zamalek who fully supported and took part in the Protests and later in defending my home with crude weaponry against the threat of armed thugs and drive-by shootings only to go back to Tahrir Square, I was instantly offended when I read your article.

Your carefully chosen words and phrases seem to intentionally convey a sense of brattiness that may have been apparent in your (very limited and probably carefully chosen) sample of subjects, but I assure you was not present in the majority of the Zamalek population who stayed up in the streets and on bridge checkpoints from 7pm to 7am every day in 7 degree C weather (and in one case in the rain). Not to mention all the Zamalek residents who either took part in the protests physically or supported it some other way (donating funds, blood, supplying water and blankets to all who were in Tahrir)

Regardless of people's stance regarding the revolution, i assure you that not all of us where "sippling lattes" while listening to "Britney Spears" or having "red wine" while "smoking cigars" after eating "T-bone steak".

I understand the appeal that your tabloid article may have by conveying a side of Egypt that is not currently being portrayed in mainstream news, but your narrow, selective and blatently disrespectful article requires heavy revision.

Ali

I applaud sara and lauren, laura, whatever your name is. for two things mainly. firstly this...

I miss driving home late at night. I miss Tamarai and Club 35," said one 22-year old woman, typing gingerly on her Blackberry to protect her fresh manicure. "I don't think I'll be able to go there anytime soon. I want my life back."

i didn't know women could be 22 years old. and the gingerly adjective makes you sound as stupid as theperson you're quoting. which is quite the challenge but you... obviously have a knack for stupid.

i'm not even going to go into detail and bash your articles credibility because i think that the average idiot can tell by the look of what YOU"RE SAYING that its complete and utter mubarak. like you're paragraph structure.

and by the way.... i only came here n read this because ALOT of people i know started posting it and saying it sucks. so congratulations you pissed off any egyptian reader or someone who knows an egyptian. and trust me... we'v impregnated alot of women.... n we r very sociable.... so i guess the only person who'll be reading your sorry excuse for a magazine is sara n laurie or laura or whatever your name is.
