This is the kind of writing that you can find on the walls of Cairo – I took this photo with my mobile while walking in Mounira, just outside Downtown Cairo.

Muslims and Christians are one hand

It’s so amazing when you start learning some Arabic and can understand what is written here and there. Like a child, you find yourself trying to read basically anything you see on the way: traffic signs, ads, etc.

I couldn’t help but stopping and taking a pic of this when I realized its meaning:

مسلم + مسيحي  = يد واحدة

Muslim + Masihi = eed wahda

Muslims + Christians = one hand

 

I don’t know about you, but I was deeply touched by it. Religious unity in Egypt is a fact, and it’s great that someone took his time to spread the word writing this message on Cairo’s walls.

After all, there’s an Egyptian say that goes like:

الدين لله و الوطن للجميع

Al din lellah , wal watan lele gamiaa

Religion is for God , and country is for everybody

Did you ever see anything like this in other countries?
