Revolution of Jokes !

If your a good reader of books of history and read many books about how revolutions happens you will must stop at the Egyptians in dealing with the revolution at the Tahrir square in a funny sense to the level they made a gallery there during the revolution to post every day a 1500 A4 page full up with new jokes they make every day, the words on signs were not-and for the first time in the world history- a political demands or slogans it was a very funny jokes came out from people who are having a great sense of humor, the police men snipers were killing them and the molotov bombs were everywhere, there were cars crossing over people and the square of tahrir was nearly a war land between police and protesters but that never prevented people from expressing their ideas using an amazing sense of humor, facing dangerous by laughing at it, it is extremely important to document how Egyptians used this sense of humor, spirit and way of thinking in standing strongly for 18 days in the same place without getting angry or facing the violent by violent !! because this spirit and this way of thinking which made in the end the revolution stay a white revolution with no blood at all !


now a new Egyptian expressions came up like : Do you have a molotov? ( a lighter in the past)
and there was a sign written on it after Mubarak gave up the presidency : Mubarak, come back, we were joking, this is the hidden camera ! :D
other person wrote on his body : Please go away, I wanna go home to have a shower..
also other person wrote : Abdl Nasr and El Sadat met Mubarak after his death and they were asking him : is it the poison or people shoot you on the victory day, so he replied : No, Facebook :D !
And after they got bored from waiting his decision to give up Egypt presidency, they wrote a big sign saying on it :
please keep staying at the palace, we are coming to you :) ...
beside there is one tent there people wrote on it : "Tired from the revolution, come inside and laugh about it"
also other tent wrote on it : I am having a headache because I didn't hear enough bombs today !


and thousands of others jokes, slogans like that...
this was Egyptian main weapon against this very old strong system, which was very corrupt to a level if we used a destroyable energy against them, it'd be a great war and the whole country would be destroyed .
but using this sense of humor, way of thinking made the sarcastic of Egyptians a very powerful weapon because it made a hollow of a very positive energy around everyone there so that they were feeling all the time, they are there for a nice hang out and not a revolution which will kick Mubarak's system out and will make a democracy, Equality and social justice in Egypt for EVER !


This is what I truly call a pure genius solution that came naturally from people who make the impossible possible in a very nature way using their pure sense without even realizing how genius are they !!


Thanks to Allah who made me believe in that day, Thanks to people who believed that nothing will kill them but their fear.


Freedom, Equality, Social Justice will lead the country to democracy which will lead us to choose the right person in every place, which will lead us in the end to uniting the whole Arab countries and becoming a great civilization in the end.


you deserve it, so work for it from now :) and always remember no matter how small, young you were...you could be the one who miracles of nations happen on his hands, there is no1 greater than you but GOD
