Hezbollah’s “Peaceful” Protest

Oh yeah, like totally peaceful.

Fouad Released, Andrew Mwenda Jailed

Saudi blogger Fuad alFarhan has finally been released after spending 137 days in jail for simply speaking his mind politely and eloquently. Meanwhile, the Saudi government has no problem whatsoever allowing the shouts and rants of many preachers of death.
Lovely!
And now for the bad news, Andrew Mwenda, a fearless and inspiring Ugandan journalist I have […]

Jimmy Carter’s Naked Visit

… is based on well-meaning intentions but is ultimately flawed thanks to the “super religious, no-comprise” mindset of the people he wants to talk to. I emphasize the “well-meaning intentions” part because Jimmy’s characterization as someone evil and anti-Semitic is something I disagree with. I understand that the title of his notorious book is provocative […]

Aljazeera’s Recent Gaza Coverage

I felt it was different in tone and harshness. At first I thought it might have been because of this. Now me believes it might have more to do with something else. Just take a look at this as an example:
It is shameful that Hamas is depending on Syrian and Iranian accounts and is transforming […]

Mona Eltahawy: Our Own Worst Enemy

Dear Mona, thank you for saying it so eloquently and telling it like it is. I salute you!
… With a prayer for all those souls murdered in the name of my religion, I confess I am not so concerned about Europe. And I don’t care about cartoons in Denmark. Newspapers there have every right to […]

Why Terrorists Would Dress Like Americans

And why profiling for security purposes probably isn’t a smart strategy. Confused? Okay, allow me to elaborate a tiny bit.
Some found it offensive, others were confused and didn’t know whether to be amused or angry. As for myself, I burst out laughing. Hilarious!
Just watch it. Please watch it. It’s a no-miss. You’ll get what I’m […]

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 […]

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.

When Israel Can’t Be Blamed

… the suffering of countless people usually continues unnoticed and uncared for.
We need Israelis to step into Darfur, because when they do the Arab media will blast the spotlight on the nastiness taking place there… and they’ll blame it on the Jews.
We need a few Zionists to walk around the slums at the outskirts of […]

Dedicated to All Our Wonderful “Leaders”

Sorry non-Arabic speakers, it’s too bad you won’t get this because it’s a seriously hilarious diss to our wonderful “leaders”. The Egyptian Adel Imam is too funny. May he live long and prosper.

“Oh Lord, kill all the people so that when those leaders wake up in the morning next day, they’ll have no one to […]

Dubai’s Property Boom

Amazing pictures you should see. I want one!

Bin Laden’s Son Wants To Be a Peace Activist

What the…
Omar — one of bin Laden’s 19 children — raised a tabloid storm last year when he married a 52-year-old British woman, Jane Felix-Browne, who took the name Zaina Alsabah.
… Omar lived with the al-Qaida leader in Sudan, then moved with him to Afghanistan in 1996.
There, Omar says he trained at an al-Qaida camp […]

An Open Letter To Arun Ghandi

Many of you by now must have read Arun Ghandi’s distasteful article in the Washington Post. I found it very shortsighted. Mideast Youth wrote a hilarious and genius response to it. Enjoy…
