Sunday 11th of July 2004 it was my interview in the USA embassy in Cairo at 8.15 am … I was asking for a tourist visa to go to the united states to visit a friend of mine who lives in LasVegas, NV and he invited me with an official invitation to go there and all what I asked for was just a one month visa to go and visit my friend and spend some good time there in Vegas because I have never seen America for real ….. so in the beginning I crossed the security gates and I showed my papers and passport and they gave me the permission to go in the lobby and wait in the line to hand over my papers and when it was my turn I find that the lady who was taking over the papers was Muslim and veiled all her head covered and she was completely rude with me and that was so obvious I just don’t why … because I have seen that she was completely polite with all the other people …. But I just handed the papers to her and waited for my turn , then they called my name it was in windows number 5 or 6 I don’t remember exactly ,, there was an American Muslim man … u will wonder how did I know that he was a Muslim .. I will tell u that there was an identifying mark appears on his forehead... That u can see it a lot in here on the foreheads of the Muslims. So he started to speak in Arabic but it was poor, so I asked him to speak in English , then he asked me why u want to go to the united states I said to him that I want to visit my friend who invites me to come and visit him in the united states and he want me to be in the ceremonies of his first son baptism … then asked me about my job I told him that I work as a programmer and I have my own small company that I run here in Egypt and I showed him that documents of the company …. There was also a copy of the documents that I gave to employee in the beginning but I didn’t find it with that man who was interviewing me … so I showed him the original copy of the documents that I have with me …he looked at it for a second and gave me the passport back and said "I'm sorry I cant give u a visa " I said Why ??? He just waved with his hand , so I said thanks and I just walked out … but I waited in the lobby again to see what will happen with some people I have kept an eye on them … this people was 5 persons a young lady in my age she was Coptic … an old man .. he was Coptic too because I have a little chat with him while I was waiting my turn … and bearded man and his wife with a little girl they was Muslims and that is what happened … the old man didn’t take the visa … the young lady too she didn't take the visa ad when she asked why … they called the security guards to ask her to leave … BUT…. The bearded man and his wife … they went to the T.N.T and paid the mail fees so this means they were accepted to take the visa to the USA … and that's it …. They take visa and we don’t take it … and also for your information all the people who work with the interviews and individuals are Egyptian Muslim employees … This bad situation that happened here... Didn’t happen with me only … a lot of my friends have found that discrimination with them too while they was asking for a tourist visa or finishing the papers for the immigration lottery …
I hope that I had declared all the issue and I hope that this information can help u in your subject
and also as a proof i can send u a copy of security gate receipt and the interview fees for the corroboration of the whole issue
To Mr.Michael Mouner ..... i wanted to email this to u ... but i didnt find a link for your email ....so i hope u can read this here on the forms
thanks u all
god bless our life and our struggle
