I ha...Alright, here's the best that I could do. I have, meanwhile, asked an Egyptian friend of mine to help translate this too. He listened to the video and can't make out anything but he is going to try and translate the Arabic SMS ticker (the white one). The Arabic text is all kinds of different Arabic dialects so it is hard to translate but I have tried to do it the best I could. If I wasn't sure of something, I put a (?) at the end. The comments in [] are mine. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Oh God, Victory of Nasreddin. [Nasreddin can mean "helper of the faith" or just a name.

[Note: Parentheses are in the Arabic and also this sentence ended abruptly but I am guessing it is saying to not take the help of Americans because once they get the taste for your country, they won’t leave. So basically, Americans are imperialists. Oh, where have I heard that before!!!].<br /><br />I love you my country.<br /><br />The winds of freedom to the Arab nation – Omani [From Oman]<br /><br />Emancipation of the Arab Nation from the clutches of the suppression of the rulers.

Epa, I was hoping you could help us out. But ...Lol. Epa, I was hoping you could help us out. But I am translating the ticker and so far, to my ears at least, they are chanting either "death of Israel" or "death to Israel" followed by either "Allah is holy" or Allah-el-ezim, "Allah is the magnificent."<br /><br />Again, I might be wrong. They are chanting like wussies! :-PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-58276130786622098032011-02-22T13:24:02.315+00:002011-02-22T13:24:02.315+00:00I can't make out a thing.
We need someone who ...I can't make out a thing.<br />We need someone who is good at filtering to get what is being chanted, and then an xlation.<br /><br />In the end Mitzrayim only means one thing for jews.
