Let Me Tell You About Egyptian Women!

This afternoon I was talking with my tutor, Mohammed about our trip to Egypt when our conversation veered towards the subject of Egyptian women.

Mohammed: Let me tell you about Egptian women! They are very strong. They dominate their husbands and their families and they always yell.
Me: Oh?
Mohammed: Do you know Prophet Musa?
Me: Yes, I know Moses.
Mohammed: Really? You guys have Prophet Musa?
Me: Yes, we have the Prophet Moses in the Bible. (Moses and most of the other folks in the Bible and their stories are also in the Quran)
Mohammed: So you know how Prophet Musa led the Israelites out of Egypt and then the Pharoah and his army chased after them?
Me: Yes.
Mohammed: Then what happened?
Me: Moses parted the Red Sea and the Israelites crossed, but then Pharoah and his army got stuck in the mud and then the waves came and drowned them all.
Mohammed: Exactly! So what do you think the wives of all of the Egyptian men who died in that battle did?
Me: They cried?
Mohammed: Yes, but who do you think they married after that?
Me: I don't know. Who was left?
Mohammed: They married their servants!
Me: No kidding? Really?
Mohammed: Yes, and how do you think these women treated their new husbands?
Me: Like servants?
Mohammed: Yes, exactly. And that is why Egyptian women treat their husbands badly even to this day.
Me: Gee whiz, I had no idea.
