Nour el-Sayyed (Mahmoud Nour El-deen) will serve as a torch for our children who unfortunately, do not have many heroes now-a-day.

I thank Allah Subhanahu wa- ta'ala for rewarding me by knowing Nour el-Sayyed as we called him when we worked for him at his famous magazine July 23, published in London in the late seventies.

 A Palestinian journalist, I was the only non-Egyptian in that magazine. Nour selected me to represent Egypt to every meeting and ralley. I represented the people of Egypt to the Yemnite conference in Birmingham, the festival of Independence in Iraq and the progressive Arab conference in Berlin- Germany.

"Palestine is an Egyptian problem," He repeatedly assured me. Nour suffered memories of when he received the Egyptian soldiers who were blinded by the Israelies who removed their cornea and planted it to Jews. "Thousands of them," He cried.

Meanwhile I want to tell you that his memory will only expand and serve as a torch for our children who unfortunately, do not have many heroes now-a-day.

Nour: May Allah reward you a home under his ARSH with the prophets and the saints. I shall read a Fatiha especially for you with every prayer.

 I love you my brother.
