Sayyed Qutb سيد قطب is the ideological father of modern militant movements in the Arab and Islamic world.

His first name could be transliterated in English as Syed, Sayyid, Sayed.

Born in 1906, he was not a radical ideologue at first, but rather someone with a social reform agenda.  He visited Colorado, USA on a government program in 1949, and wrote a book titled: The America I Have Seen. Upon his return to Egypt he joined the Muslim Brotherhood before the 1952 overthrow of the monarchy in a coup d'etat by the Free Officers.

His writing focused on social reform from an Islamic perspective, as well as a literary analysis of the Artistic Representation in the Quran. It is ironic to see that modern Salafis do not approve of this latest work.

Here is an article by Waleed Ziad, in the New York Times, titled Jihad's Fresh Face. In it, he traces back violent militancy, in which current terrorist movements are grounded. The root cause is post-colonial chaos created in the Arab world that lead to the rise of absolute dictatorship. When these dictatorships are challenged, they ruthlessly and brutally suppress the opposition. This suppression did not stop at banning and imprisonement or those who opposed, but more heinous measures such as torture, continued persecution, harassment, ...etc.

Ziad Elmously briefly attended E.G.C. , moving in third grade to E.B.S. He later went to the Faculty of Engineering, in Architecture.He is now in the USA, and works for a multi-national market research company, Taylor Nelson SOFTRES Intersearch as a statistical consultant.  He does considerable work for clients in the IT industry. See how Ziad looked like in 1968. 

Mohamed El Meligui was a soccer fan in E.G.C., just like Magdy El Rayyes, and Yasin Mansour.His physique helped with this, being tall and well built.He worked in McDonalds franchise in Egypt, when they started opening branches there. Later, he moved to the  USA, working in McDonalds in New York, and then in California.Recently, he works in Bank of America in the Los Angeles suburb of San Bernadrino.See how Mohamed looked in 1968. 

Some time ago, there was a question on the Drupal forums about wrapping content from another site to your site.

Here is a basic PHP code snippet that would do just that. You may need to fiddle with the HTML to make the paths absolute to the site that you are wrapping.

If you have improvements, please let me know. 

Also, please do not use this to leech content from other sites, and obey their copyright rules. 

Method 1: Using fopen on a URL 

$url = "http://example.com";

$handle = @fopen ( $url, "r" );
if ( $handle ) {
 while ( true ) {
   $data = fgets ( $handle, 4096 );
   print $data;

   if ( true == feof( $handle ) ) {
       break;
       }
 }

 fclose ( $handle );
}
else {
 $result .= t("Could not contact host: ") . $url;
}

Method 2: Using fopen on a URL - more concise way

After writing the above, Drupal hacker par excellance, Karoly Negyesi (a.k.a. chx), found  a much more elegant and simple solution:

Those who like sausages should not see how they are made -- Anonymous

When you are in the midst of developing a web site, you often do not want anyone to see it while it is work in progress. Things are often broken, look ugly, ...etc.

Keeping humans off is not the only reason as well: you also need to keep out search engine crawlers, comment spam bots, email harvesters, Internet Archiver, ...etc.

At the same time, you want specific people to be able to access the site, such as the theme designer, fellow developers, someone from the client's company, ...etc. 

Gwynne Dyer, a reknown Canadian journalist, historian, academic and essayist on international affairs, writes that the recent Egyptian Presidential Elections are a Cynical Farce! He mentions that the ruling party engaged in everything from ballot stuffing to bussing government workers to vote en masse after it was apparent that the turn out was very low. He also correctly notes that President Bush, who says he wants democracy in the region, do not want to see Mubarak go.

I occasionally check Technorati to see if somebody cared to link to something they read on my web site. Two days ago, I was doing the random spot checking, and found that my site is linked to from Drupal.org. This is not out of the norm, since I have been using Drupal and contributing to it for some time. What was surprising was to see that a new aggregator was put in, and called Drupal Planet. Althought I frequent Drupal.org daily, I sometimes miss checking the front page, and go to the tracker directly!

Mohamed's nickname in school was "Toffee", derived from the Tawfik in his name.Mohamed was good in sports, and was a serious swimmer in high school and beyond. He graduated in commerce, and now lives in New York. He got an MBA from New York in 1988, and passed New York State CPA exam in 1992.Then he decided to start his own business, and now runs a company that specializes in Organic Cotton products, called sckoon. His wife is from Japan, and he has one daughter.See how Mohamed looked in 1966! 

Magdy was my classmate in E.G.C. from kindergarten to grade 9 (3rd preparatory), then in El Nassereya for High School, then in University at the College of Pharmacy. He was the only one who was with me for the entire span of 17 years of education.Magdy came from a relatively wealthy Christian Coptic family. They own the Sabry pharmacy in Rushdy, Alexandria, as well as several other ventures over the years, including such factories as Handy Tissue and Paper, and others. As a youngster, Magdy was fiesty, and sometimes hyperactive. I remember he once got into trouble in the first year of high school because he punched someone who pushed him while going up the stairs to class. He used to drive hard too. One time, I was with him in a red Volkswagen Golf he had while in university, and he went to the other lane (between Sidi Gaber and Mostafa Kamel) where a bus was coming directly at us. He accelerated so hard and we made it to safetly.
