[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Majed Shafie Christian ? Majed Shafie  grew up in a prominent Muslim family in Egypt. But even at a young age  he  struggled with Islamic beliefs and practices.
 He  was also troubled by the persecution of people in other religions  especially when  he  started making Christian friends in college.
 Majed  says  âI saw how peaceful they are. I saw how forgiving they are. I saw the principles and the values that they have. So I didnât understand why you want to persecute people that they are that peaceful. And I needed to know what truth that this Christians have that I was not even allowed to hear.â
To get answers   Majed  went to  his  Christian friend tamer  who in turn gave  him  a bible.
 Majed  committed  his  life to Jesus Christ.
âThis feeling of freedom  this feeling of liberation  there is nothing like when you know that youâre a child of God and youâre not a slave â says  Majed .
 Majed  escaped  and continued  his  work.
3 months later  Egyptian police forced their way into  his  home and arrested  him .
 Majed  remembers  âAn officer came and he said  I need to know everything about you  who you are  who working with you. I told him I don't know anything  I don't know what youâre talking about  I don't know what organization and He told me you want to play tough we can play tough together. I told him tough is my middle name  you donât need to worry about that. Next day they transfer me to Abu Zaabel Prison. For the locals  Abu Zaabel Prison is called hell on earth.â
Trying to get information  interrogators began systematically torturing  Majed .
After two days   Majed  feared  he  would betray  his  friends.
âLying down in a pool of my own blood this was my prayer. I told  Him   Lord  I want to thank you for your gift on the cross. I donât regret believing in you. You died for  me  and I will live and I will die for you. However Lord  You made me out of flesh and blood  you know how weak I am. And my only request to you is to kill me before tomorrow morning â says  Majed .
The next day   his  captors brought in dogs.  Majed  braced  himself  for the attack.
âThere was absolute quiet and calm. So I removed my hand away from my face just little by little and thatâs what I saw. By God all three dogs sitting around  me . None of them moved one single step. Then another three dogs came. Sat in the same position with one little difference. The middle one took a step forward and  he  licked my face. I got the same message that the officers got. That maybe Iâm alone but Iâm not lonely. Somebody else here with me.â
 His  interrogator returned the following day. This time  he  made  him  an offer.
 Majed  says  â He  said you tell me the name of your friends  I will release you. I will make you witness in the case  I will release you.  He  listed everything that any man will desire. I looked at  him   I told  him  oh thatâs  thatâs a very good deal. I-I will take it. Go get me food and water and after that weâll talk together.  He  said  whatever you like I will bring it to you. I told  him  shish kebab.  He  went   he  bring an Egyptian food  I sit down  I ate.  He  told me now you tell me the name of your friends. I told  him  listen. We are a big group. Thousands of us. I will not remember all of us // But I can give you the name of our leader. He told me  okay  give me the name of your leader. I told him the name of our leader is Jesus Christ. If you can catch Him  catch Him.â

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe ? Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe  who is also ruling Liberal Democratic Party leader   attends an election campaign rally in Fukushima  Japan  October 10  2017.  REUTERS/Toru Hanai
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâs ruling bloc  could come close to keeping  its  two-thirds âsuperâ majority in an Oct. 22 lower house election  defying some predictions of substantial losses and solidifying  his  grip on power  a survey published by the Nikkei business daily on Wednesday showed.
 Abeâs  conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its more dovish junior partner  the Komeito  are likely to secure more than 290 seats in the 465-seat chamber  the Nikkei said.
The Nikkei forecast was broadly in line with a Kyodo news agency forecast released on Thursday that saw  Abe âs coalition winning more than 300 seats.
A strong showing by  Abeâs  coalition would boost  his  chances of winning a third term as LDP leader from next September  putting  him  on track to become Japanâs longest-serving premier.
 Abe  called the snap election amid confusion in the opposition camp and after an uptick in  his  ratings  which had been hurt earlier this year by suspected cronyism scandals  in hopes of gaining a fresh mandate after nearly five years in power.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Osman Aslam ? Osman Aslam  has tried the apps.
On Minder   he  wrote  he  enjoys hiking  going on long drives and spending time with  his  family. On Muzmatch  another option for Muslim singles   he  described  his  ideal partner as well-educated  ambitious and funny.
So on a recent winter day  armed with a pale purple dress shirt and purple tie   he  flew 300 miles south from  his  home in Stockton  Calif.  rented a car and booked a hotel room.

Because practicing Muslims typically shun dating or sex before marriage  the banquets offer a possible  if imperfect  solution to what young Muslims in America say is an irksome problem: âItâs really hard to meet someone in this culture â  Osman  said.

âI keep telling  her  to get marriedâ
In  Osman âs view   his  parents are an example of the kind of couple that âjust grew to love each other.â
But even though they have lasted â raising three boys in northern California and climbing from the bottom rungs of the economic ladder into middle class prosperity â theirs is not the marriage  Osman  wants.
 Osman  wants to fall in love.  He  wants to marry  his  best friend.  He  wants that person to be a Muslim and a Pakistani American â but not a Pakistani.  He  wants someone like  him  who was born and raised in the United States to immigrant parents  someone who is âon the same page.â
Three-quarters of American Muslims are immigrants or the children of immigrants  and in many ways  Osman  is emblematic of an American minority at a generational crossroads.
 Osman  considers  himself  âfairly religious.â  He  does not drink or smoke;  he  does not date â  he  âwouldnât know where to begin â  he  says; and  he  sees Islam as central to  his  life and identity.  He  has never really known  his  parentsâ Pakistan  but  he  values  his  heritage and shares their desire to carry it on.
 Osman âs parents think  he  is too picky  and they have been laying on the pressure since  his  older brothers got married.
 He  felt optimistic about this matrimonial banquet.
âWow â  he  thought  surveying the room. âIâm going to meet a lot of people.â
The other singles had come from all over: California  Maryland  Texas and Canada. Each pairing had three minutes to talk â barely enough time to accomplish anything   Osman  soon realized â but many had come carrying the same frustrations about the search.
