    You come on . so if your parents decided to be H**os you would not exist . how is that for homophobic ? open minded does not mean we are ok with abnormal behavior . whats right is right,and whats wrong is wrong . you decide not to follow any religion or traditions its up to u but don't try to make it the norm for everyone.

  • "traditions and ...

    "traditions and values"..pff..talking abt "traditions and values" when it comes to homosexuality..sure why not...but u dont talk abt "traditions and values" when u sleep with a person before marriage, or when you try to imitate the west wut so ever..if u really wana stick to those traditions and values,then do it properly,dont just follow what you like and break what u dont like..knowing that homosexuality doesnt break any ethics!

  • Oh c'mon! Thats ...

    Oh c'mon! Thats very homophobic! You are a homophobic for sayin that. Not only that, but to say its ruining our traditions and values just sickens me. Either you're a closet homosexual are a very closed-minded person.

  • If you mean the one ...

    If you mean the one with curly hair, that's Yassmine El Masri (a palestinian-egyptian talented actress). And if you mean the charming one with long smooth black hair, that's Fatmeh Safa.
