The jacked of the DVD explained that Omar Sharif's movies are banned in Egypt because he played opposite the Jewish actress, Barbra Streisand, and kissed her. I was shocked to learn this trivia fact. literarydiscussions: excerpt from post katare_ninad : that is really a good post literarydiscussions: thanks... you can see 1500 of my posts at http://www.egroups.com/group/Sitaram katare_ninad : ok literarydiscussions: my attempt at a first book is http://www.toosmallforsupernova.org katare_ninad : is your name sitaram literarydiscussions: yes katare_ninad : well do you know what it means literarydiscussions: yes literarydiscussions: my original website is http://www.members.aol.com/Sitaram literarydiscussions: that is highlights of the original site literarydiscussions: Hinduism and Interfaith Dialogues was its title katare_ninad : so you are trying to write on supernova literarydiscussions: it is a type of fiction... literarydiscussions: you can download many of my writings as zipped files at http://www.toosmallforsupernova.org/download.htm katare_ninad : based on supernova literarydiscussions: http://www.toosmallforsupernova.org/downloads.htm literarydiscussions: the second link is correct, (first link has typo error) literarydiscussions: ok, HERE is the link i was looking for literarydiscussions: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?p=100492 literarydiscussions: There is something which Omar Sharif says several times in that movie which is quite germane to the question which this thread poses. Several times during the movie, the young boy asks Omar various important questions about life, and Omar simply answers, "I know what is in my Qu'ran". We do not learn until the very end of the movie what is really meant by that statement. If I tell you what is meant, it will be a SPOILER, so I have placed the spoiler by itself on one page of my site, and here is the link: literarydiscussions: http://toosmallforsupernova.org/sharif.htm literarydiscussions: that link is the spoiler katare_ninad : well you are really a great person literarydiscussions: i have my short comings and failures... literarydiscussions: f. scott fitzgerald died thinking he was a failure literarydiscussions: and regretting that he wasted so much time on drinking and party life literarydiscussions: he did a major rewrite of "The Great Gatsby" in the GALLEY STAGE, at the printers, when you should only be doing minor typographical corrections literarydiscussions: fitzgerald was not "re-discovered" until 15 yrs after his death katare_ninad : what are you saying literarydiscussions: i am saying that people we consider great have their flaws and shortcomings... literarydiscussions: from an historical distance.... we might see lincoln, or gandhi, or muhammed, or fitzgerald as larger-than-life heros.... but if we knew the person.... we would see their short comings and failures as well as their genius and success katare_ninad : well but they are great in some manner katare_ninad : arent they literarydiscussions: there is some minor form of greatness in some of the things I have written.... and my writings will most likely disappear after my death,... because no one on internet wants to make the small effort to download them and preserve them for the future in some manner literarydiscussions: to keep them alive on a message board or web site literarydiscussions: everyone says, "oh, someone else will do that..." literarydiscussions: which means that ultimately, no one does it katare_ninad : hey man katare_ninad : dont get dissapointed so easily literarydiscussions: i have watched this happening for the past 8 years literarydiscussions: various young people become enthused about being caretakers, and preserving the writings... and then, after a while,... they lose interest, lose contact, disappear katare_ninad : well i know you are the little encyclopedia literarydiscussions: you see, there are many encyclopedias, and search engines... but some of the ideas I expressed were unique, and to be found nowhere else literarydiscussions: so... that is the tragedy... the lost of those few unique ideas katare_ninad : see there are so few peoples who use ency katare_ninad : isnt it correct literarydiscussions: well, you have all my links... so you are now free to read everything I have written over the past 8 years, if you find it interesting literarydiscussions: and you can download the html to the original website, with 420 browser pages... literarydiscussions: if you like literarydiscussions: and you can download the 1500 posts/essays, zipped, from the egroup literarydiscussions: this entire post has some good things.... the post on women, emancipation, and quran literarydiscussions: http://www.online-literature.com/...d.php?t=4519&page=3&pp=15 literarydiscussions: I feel compassion for young people (under 40) who are by their very nature idealistic and who, therefore, feel compelled to defend fiercely what they have come to consider as absolutes. It is difficult and painful for anyone, whoever and whatever you may be, to place your heritage, your ancestors, your history, your cherished beliefs, under the multicultural microscope of our postmodern world and ask difficult questions literarydiscussions: (excerpt) katare_ninad has signed back in.
