Victory for military extremists in Egypt sees Aly Maher ousted and General Naguib installed as prime minister.                                                                  For all of you reading this it is from the archives of the guardian newspaper of this day in 1952,  Most of you would not have been around for this excerpt in Egypts troubled past but the similarities can not be ignored.. How much has been learned  that there will always be uncertaintys in this part of the world. PLEASE read the rest of this and then give me reasons why the Army should relinquish there hold on to power at this moment in time....... returning to archive. .                                                                                                                                                          
General Naguib, who yesterday assumed the post of Prime Minister and Minister of War, as well as that of Commander-in-Chief of the Egyptian forces, has now rounded up more political leaders to join the fifty he had caused to be arrested yesterday. He also held his first Cabinet meeting in Cairo this morning.
What the General intends to do with his political prisoners is not yet clear. The bag is a very mixed one. While it might well be that the secretary-general of the Wafd party, Serag ed-Din, and other politicians with dubious records might be faced with a court of inquiry into the means by which they amassed their considerable fortunes, it seems hardly likely that men like Naguib Hilaly, the former Independent Prime Minister, Mortada Moraghy, or the four arrested Saadist leaders will be submitted to similar treatment.     Hilaly's crime may be no graver than that he was the last Prime Minister to serve ex-King Farouk and accepted the latter's brother-in-law as War Minister in his Cabinet. The Saadist leaders' offence may be the strong action that their party took against the Moslem Brotherhood after one of the brotherhood's members had assassinated Nokrashy Pasha, the Saadist Prime Minister, in 1948. If that is so it must be regarded as a measure of the influence exerted on General Naguib by the extremists among his supporters. He has included two extreme Nationalists in his new Cabinet.                                                                                                                         End of archive.                                                                                                                                          lets all .hope that there is no more bloodshed on the streets of Egypt.                                                                    Please feel free to comment on this article  Regards A+A

BRITISH TRANSGENDER SOLDIER CONVERTS TO ISLAM

             TRANSGENDER SOLDIER WEARS BURKA..                                                                                                                          
                                   Today we have former territorial male soldier, 28 year old Lucy Vallender, she had a sex change in 2010and then converted to islam last year. She met Murad who was already married online, Murad did`nt know she was once a man. They married on there first date in april and have met for sex twice since,
Now she prays five times a day and wears a full burkha and spends hours deep in study of the Qu'ran.
But despite her dedication she has been banned from her local mosque by elders who she claims said she would have to pray with the men.
The 5ft 10in ex-labourer says she always knew she was different but did not have her operation until three years ago.
Lucy, who now lives in Swindon, said: "I always felt different and felt like I was in the wrong body.
"I told my mum and she was shocked to say the least.
"It just was not the done thing so I just put it to the back of my head and try and forget about it."
Lucy signed up to the TA arm of the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment in 2006 at the age of 21 to try and make himself more manly.
But it only made her more depressed.
"I tried to do macho things you know to stop how I was thinking, but it didn't work because I was trying to be someone I wasn't," she said.
"I felt differently to others - I was attracted to men, 
"They say I am the first transgender Muslim but I bet there are more - they are just frightened," she said.
She says she has been banned from the Broad Street mosque by thoughtless worshippers who were offended by her gender.
She said: "The way they treated me was disgusting.
"They asked me questions about my bra cup size, asked about my Adam's apple, about my period and asked to see my birth certificate.
"They said I had to pray with the men so I left and pray at home instead.
"I hope people will change their attitudes and other people like me will realise they are free to just be themselves."
A spokesman for Swindon Mosque said: "Everybody is welcome, as long as they behave according to Islam."                                                                                                                                                               The question for you is should lucy be banned from the mosque? is it appropriate for a man to become a woman in islam?                                                                                             I would like comments from all religions please and dont forget to fill in the " reaction" boxes,                                                                                                                                                                       Many thanks and regards, A+ A.
