Here's a coincidence, revenire: Just last night I found this photo of Muhammad Nusair, an engineering student, in Tahrir Square, Cairo. Thanks to the always excellent mondoweiss site for this:

From Tahrir to Wisconsin

Dear activists, protesters & workers from Wisconsin, Ohio and other states,
I was truly touched by your hundreds of thoughts and comments on my photos from Tahrir holding that sign. I thank each and everyone of you, even those who thought the photos were shopped, but I have few things to say.
I’m an Egyptian ordinary young man, activist and Engineering student. I turned 21 years old last December, I love to read and write using both Arabic and English (although my English is kind of weak). and like other thousands, or even millions of Egyptians, I was very busy since Jan25 with our revolution in Tahrir square and all Egypt. we spent very hard days in that square waiting for death to come anytime from air or ground. anyway, what happened in Tahrir is not our subject now, everyone knows what happened there. the point is that I was too busy to know full details of what’s going on in other parts of the world. I knew that people protested in Wisconsin for their rights but didn’t know more details till Thursday, the 17th of February and it was by luck through a wall post of an American friend on Facebook, then I immediately began to search it and read more, then I decided to show support! decided to make the sign and take it with me to Tahrir next morning (Friday).
Many people thought it’s something extraordinary or something that stands out. but I really want to say that me, and many other people, were raised this way. were taught that all human beings are brothers and sisters, were taught that we live in ONE world and under the same sky, so I don’t see what I did as something “abnormal” or “super cool”.
again, as I told many of you, we are all human beings. we shouldn’t let borders and differences separate us, we were made different to complete each other, to integrate and live together. If a human being doesn’t feel the pain of his fellow human beings then everything man created and established since the very beginning of his existence is in great danger.
Ah, one more thing !
some people sent me messages and posted comments saying that the photos are fake or that I’m not Egyptian because of my skin tone and hair color. they said I’m an Irish with red hair doing leftist propaganda (My hair is not red at all) LOL I think you should visit Egypt to see how Egyptians look like ! we have the blonde Egyptian, the tanned Egyptian, the black Egyptian and the Albino Egyptian. Egypt is the link between three continents, so that’s why !! I’m 100% Egyptian and actually never been to any place outside Egypt. and here are some of my personal photos which prove that my hair is not red hahaha...
