This is the story of an Egyptian Copt (a member of the Christian minority) who immigrated legally to the United States with less than $200 in his pocket, the maximum amount allowed by the Egyptian government in 1968. It describes the typical life of a Copt in Moslem Egypt and the elation he felt when he was finally allowed to leave the country. His story has adventure, romance and a brief look at the history of Egypt. It provides insights on the current turmoil engulfing the Middle East. The author pays tribute to Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah El Sisi for ousting his fanatical predecessor Mohammad Morsi, of the Moslem Brotherhood who assumed power with the full support of President Barak Obama. That evil organization is the source of terrorism in the world. It has spawned Al Qaeda and ISIS (the so called Islamic State). The first act that Morsi took was to travel to Iran to coordinate his terroristic activities with their mullah's. Under his rule, Egypt descended into its worst economic crisis and Christian persecution spiked, churches were torched and many parishioners were murdered with the tacit approval of his government. As a result, a large number of Christians emigrated to Australia, Canada, Europe and the U.S. This book documents the experiences of the author who emigrated from Egypt in 1968, after the six day war with Israel forced the government to allow people to leave the country, and his wonderful experiences in Texas after enduring discrimination during his 38 years in Egypt. The book is written partly to shed some light on the plight of those Christians who are still suffering in the Middle East. While the subject is serious, it is interspersed with personal anecdotes, humor and drama. The author is a retired architect who has authored books about architectural technology, the future of urban transportation and is currently writing a book about how to transform slums into islands of hope.
