a lot
of girls by telling them Muslim girls can?t put Hijab when they go to
university. He was trying to program me to kill one Jewish man. So when
other things were happening in 1996, Azeem Hakani was knew what was
going on as he was working for someone as well, but as he liked me he
wanted to know what was going on, so they showed him Bulut as a Jewish
candidate.

In later 1996 I went back to visit my parents, some how my parents had
already been harassed by these people, so my parents took me to this
clinic where doctor?s daughter came in Black car, they told me she was
my dad?s classmate. For me this did no mean much, I till today don?t
understand indirect things, someone has to tell me the direct meaning. I
came back and started my second year, and I was approached by a real
Israeli Jewish girl named Sarah, I was shy and did not like speaking to
girls and did not know what was going on so I did not payed much
attention to her. But anyway at the same time as I had already been
active in Islamic society some "Jewish Muslims" joined society
