hi to allllllllll my frds..
congratulation to Rania, i didnt even know that she is married!!! anyway, she is lucky :)!!!!!!

So why both SuperStar presenters are Egyptian? Why can't a Lebanese be one of them to add some flavor to the event? After all, most are beautiful and cute, besides, this is a Lebanese event held in Lebanon.
On a different note, can anyone tell me why most Miss Egypt are Christian?!

Congratulation Rania w yetraba fee 3ezzik !

""can anyone tell me why most Miss Egypt are Christian?!""

Miss Egypt 2004 Heba Ahmed El-sisy, Miss Egypt 2003 Nour Mahmoud El-Samry, Miss Egypt 2002 Horeyya Mohamed Farghally... do their name sound Christian to you? What's your problem whether they are Christians or Muslims... unless you're bigot and you wanna see a difference.

Mind your own business and leave Egypt alone!

I know it DOESN'T MATTER, but I'm just asking out of curiousity. They named their son "Sherif Ryan". I know that some Arab Muslims give their daughters non-Arabic names like Joelle and Nancy, but Muslims NEVER give their *sons* such non-Arabic names as Ryan. I know Rania has a European mother and a mixed Arab-Kurdish father, but I doubt that she would be Christian since most Arabs and Kurds are Muslim, and her husband is Jordanian (mostly Muslim), so I'm just confused her. Can anyone explain?

Michel,
many muslims give the name "Rayan" to their sons (i guess that Rayan was a muslim leader). My friend is married to an american girl, they named their son Rayan coz in english it could be pronounced "Ryan". so, it's a double use name. besides, muslims don't use generally western names.

Congratulations to Rania.

i have HOT news..
Hisham and Ahmad H were in dubai on saturday!
my sis bumped into them in city center.
she said they really looked nice.
=)

Rayan is a door from the doors of Heaven ...Jana

Walid has a point here
I know many Lebanese Muslims married to christian foreing women who tend to give their sons names that could sound right in both cultures.
I know in particualr a Lebanese army general who is Sunni and married to a Catholic American woman from Texas. They gave their son the name Zane which befits both cultures just fine.
In Lebanon it is pronounces Zein, (in reference to Zein al Abidin) and in the US Zane a name though of Hebrew origin is mostly widespread in Texas.(Ironically, since Hebrew and Arabic are both semitic language and therefore quite similar, Zane means ornament or decoration which is the exact translation of Arabic Zein)
Same applies for Ryan and Jad ecc
However as Michel pointed out Rania's mother is Irish (most probably an Catholic) and she had her education in England so it is only logical to give her baby a name adaptable with her western background.

(Sorry for the typing mistake, it's just I post these comment quickly while taking a break from work)

Michel,
Rania is not kurdish, she's jordanian,KURDI is just her last name, it's a family in jordan, her husband is a jordanian muslim too, and (ryan) is an arabic name...

Manar
Rania actually is Kurdish and not only that
In her very own website she mentions her mixed background (Arab, Kurdish, Irish and Circassian blood)
http://www.raniakurdi.com/bio_page.htm
You can check it out by yourself

To Manar also
Rayan is Arabic While RYAN is a Gaelic name meaning "little king. Gaelic being of course the Celtic language spoken in Ireland, which proves my theory of Rania paying homage to her Irish background by naming her son Ryan.

you guys have drifted from the subject,why does it always have to become a political/religious conversations,just be happy she had a baby and congratulate her this topic of religion isnt in the right place.
Just to state a fact, Rania Al-Kurdi is Jordanian because it's a known family in Jordan and they are not kurds,i know people in the Al-Kurdi family and they are not kurds and she is free to name her child whatever she wants so dont judge her on that.
Thank you

She says herself that she is kurdish
check her website

Circassians (Sharkas) are plentiful in Jordan; they mostly live in southern Jordan, Karak, for example. Most came from Russia, and many are blond/blue-eyed Christians.

hi i just wanna clear smthings about the circassians to the shark since am one of them.al sharkas live in amman and the around area only and they r more than just blue eyed and blond hair.they helped jordan to stand on it's feet by helping king abdulla the first with the great arab revelution.and we have this rich heritage from our mother country jordan and our origin russia which made us this unique charachters we r.f shark has sm sharkas friends they would love to teach u more about us f not i would love to.

its me again circassians r muslims to the bones . did u ever wonder y we came hare at the first place!!!!!we came for the islam cuz russia was comunist.

Sahar--Thanx 4 clearing this up, I thought they were mostly Christian who lived in southern Jordan. There are some in Lebanon in case u didn't know.
Do you consider yourselves Arab?

hi i'm another circassian...for me i consider myself a circassian living an arabic life in general...but i'd like 2 know if you consider us arabs or not
