Christians accept as true the first half of the Shahadah. It is the second half that we object to.

Because our cultural preventing us from reading certain offensive words and stories like for example "<b>incest stories</b>" (<i>father with his 2 daughters, mother with her son, brother with his sister, father in law with his daughter in law, and of course the story Aholah and Aholibah</i>) etc... and for that reason (<i>and many other reasons</i>) they are afraid to distribute the Bible to the Arab Egyptians (<b>Muslims and Christians</b>).

You are only partially correct.
Under Egyptian law, it is a criminal offence for any non-Muslims to proselytize. Therefore, any Christian who gives or sells a bible to a muslim is risking arrest and possibly much worse. So, it is not surprising that Egyptian Christians are very hesitant about supplying muslims with bibles.
Interestingly, there is no law in Egypt which prevents muslims from proselytizing to non-muslims. Hardly seems fair, does it?

That Egyptian man from USA (<i>friend of Sis Jennifer's family</i>) has also refused to supply me with the Arabic Bible although he is from USA and i am from China (<b>we are not living under the Egyptian law</b>)!!!!!!!!!! but he knows for sure how am i going to react by reading those stories in his so called '<i>book of God</i>' so the matter is not totally about proselytizing.

Well, I suggest SisterJennifer have her husband ask his friend why he refuses to give or sell him a bible, and report the answer back to us.
