Eyad is for me one of the most interesting guys I have met in Paris at Imagine Cup competition. He comes from Syria and his name would be translated as "Seven castles".
The reason why he is so interesting was because he comes from a very different culture and believes in very different things than me. But the great thing about him is that he is very intelligent and very open and accepts other people with different believes.
So he was the perfect guy for a quality conversation.
So Eyad is Muslim and they feel strongly against alcohol and club parties. They believe that alcohol takes away the only thing that separates humans from animals - the mind. So one night stands and drunken parties are a big no-no.
He managed to really impress me when he was attending the last and "wildest" Imagine Cup party but still be very calm. The thing is that everything that was happening around him was everthing he trully believes that is wrong. That is a man of great character I thought to myself.
Interesting is that Muslim denie every other religion and believe that others will go to Hell. That logic is also the reason of many wars and horrible deaths. But this guy kept his character. He is worm and firendly towards anybody different that him. Eyan is also very comunicative and he made a bunch of friends. And you know what that must be hard like hell if you come from Saudi Arabia. Because the moment there is Saudi Arabia written on your nametag half of people will think you are some kind of terrorist. And that would be inteligent people from universities. Really!... This society really manages to plant some heavy prejudice in our judgement.
