Introducing Abu Skander, An Arab Muslim In Denmark

His name is Ahmad al-Safawi. He’s an Egyptian, and we have successfully brainwashed him into joining the monstrosity affectionately known as the blogosphere. Head over to his blog and give him a warm welcome!
I expect we’ll disagree on numerous things but we’ll certainly have fun doing it. Right Ahmad?

You Started It!

“No, the Eskimos did! No wait, you started it first! Aaarrgghhh!”
I almost died with laughter when I saw this cartoon. Hilarious and pure genius! Can’t we all just get along? Why not?
Come on Danes and Jews, we promise to stop but only if you do so first. Cool? Seriously, because if you don’t, I’m telling […]

Chinese Bloggers React to Spielberg’s Move

Interesting points of view.
Like I said, the 2008 Olympics are already tainted. Plus, China’s “no strings attached” investment policy isn’t exactly nice. It benefits African governments but does no real favors to the people themselves. We Africans should investment serious time and effort in understanding China’s intentions towards our continent.
Due to Africa’s lack of understanding […]

Oppose the Absurdity of Maktoob and the So-Called Arab Bloggers Union!

Here’s the news in case you don’t know what I’m talking about. Read the whole thing (translated from Arabic to English by the wonderful Amira of GlobalVoicesOnline). I’m highlighting in bold the phrases which I think are ridiculous:
… To the attention of Maktoob’s administrators and the blogging community,
The Arab Bloggers Union has been following with […]

Anti-Semitism = Islamophobia

I may be generalizing but I’ve come across discussions in the blogosphere in which some Muslims accuse their critics of being Islamophobic and on the other hand, some Jews accuse their critics of being anti-Semitic when in fact those specific critics (whose views I’m very familiar with) are neither the former nor latter.
In such cases, […]

Hey There Khalilah

Plain White T’s - Hey there Delilah Khalilah. Enjoy!

The Life of an Internet-Addicted Blogger

So true. Although I must say I have greatly improved.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Westoxification All the Way!

Have a good one people! And don’t get too excited. You might end up being caught by the religious police.

Spielberg Says No Thanks To Beijing 2008!

Ahahahahaha! It’s true!
Check out AK’s post for more. Like I said, the coming Beijing 2008 Olympic Games are already too tainted.
Seriously, let’s move the games to Taiwan.

Yes, We Men Can’t Control Ourselves

Remember Hanan al-Turk’s cute hangout spot? Well now she has more to say:
She said she doesn’t allow unveiled women into her salon because she would be aiding them to sin: “Unveiled women coming out of my beauty center will arouse men and I can’t be part of that.”
It’s one thing when chauvinist bearded men blame […]

Notes from the Underground: Iranians and Israelis connect online

Ah, I love blogging.
Telling me I can’t talk to so and so will just make me even more curious. And so here we are, living in the wonderful age of people-powered new media, interacting and reading each others’ words.
Hell, at one point I was even corresponding with an American soldier based in Iraq. Being able […]

In the Eyes of the Beholder


Fouad Alfarhan: 62 Stinking Days In Jail

There are fears he might be being tortured. Wonderful huh? A guy so polite and peaceful rots in jail for simply wanting to see his country progress, while bearded intolerant idiots who preach hate and violence are freely allowed to do what they do best.
Let’s celebrate.

Sudan’s Defense Minister Breaks Down In Tears During Conference

Awww… how touching. He must be learning that trick from Hillary’s advisers.
February 06, 2008 (KHARTOUM) — Sudan’s top military official broke down in tears at the opening of a conference by the ‘martyr’s organization’.
Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussein recounted the sacrifices of martyrs since the 1989 coup that brought President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir to power.
Martyrs huh? You […]
