lebanese slogan

Lebanon has many sects and it has many slogans as well.

The most recent slogan is "I Love Life".The slogan was created by the pro-government groups to try to raise awareness about sectarianism in Lebanon.But the Hezbollah-led opposition interpreted the slogan as blaming them for destruction caused by the past summers war with Israel.(The implication being that Hezbollah loves death and martyrdom.) So the opposition copied the theme and launched its own version, this time with a rainbow of colors representing the opposition groups, and slogans like "I Love Life Undictated."

I love life but to an extent to tell you the truth.Life isn't as great as it seems.Life really is just a test and the real happiness is the eternal bliss in paradise.So I live it up once in a while and have fun but not all the time.Because Karma is real.What comes around goes around.Don't expect to get great results if you didn't work hard or put any effort.

I really dont know who's side to take or be on.Im not with the 7a2omeh and Im not with the Mo3arada either.All I can say Allah yir7amak ya Rafic Hariri.Anjad Libnan mab tiswa shi mindouno.

A letter from Abu Ghraib prison

To my own folk, to my own people in Ramadi, Khalidiyya and Falluja… to all the people of the world who endear their dignity and honour, is my appeal.

From the American- Zionist prison of Abu Ghraib, your very sister Nur sends you this letter but the question is: from where shall I start? By God I do not know how to describe to you the misery and the indignation in the prison; the hunger we suffer the humiliation we experience while you enjoy your meals to gluttony? Or the thirst while you drink as you please? Or the sleepless nights we are subjected to by our American prisoners? Or our nakedness that our prisoners like us to parade in front of them? O’ dear brother, when we see your trucks and cars transporting building materials for the Americans, our hearts jump because those trucks and cars belong to my people and to my own town then I reflect with a bleeding heart: O’ God! My people have sold their honour and dignity in exchange for a bundle of American Dollars, but when I reflect upon our desecrated honour and my situation, I burst into tears. O’ dear brothers and sisters, how I, in God’s name, can describe or put in words, the suffering we undergo and experience at the hands of the Americans, let alone the severe beating and daily torture because we do not give in to their lusty and sexual desires!!! O’ the spiritual leaders of our beloved faith, where do you hide your faces from the shame and dishonour that the Americans brought upon you and us?? Have you already forgotten the preaching of our most revered Prophet to safeguard your honour? Have you already sold yourselves and us to the American and Zionists in the slave market in return for a few Dollars? Have you lost your honour and dignity?? Have you forgotten that God has put us in you trust; to keep, to cherish and protect our honour from desecration? The Americans in Abu Ghraib have already desecrated your and our honour. In the name of the almighty God and those who read my letter world wide to raise their voices against the brutal treatment we undergo at the hand of our prisoners. It is worse than the Palestinians in the Zionist’s prisoners but here they rape us, they desecrated and violated our sacred honour like wild bests. We scream for help to save us from these bests but no one seems to hear our desperate cry. Finally, if there still any atom of honour in your hearts,O’ leaders of the community, do attack this notorious prison with every weapon at your disposal killing them and us altogether because our wombs are already pregnant with their bastards. We love to die than bringing shame upon you or upon our families and our land; kill us, I beseech you to the sake of God to kill us with the Americans and their bastards.

Your Sister

Nur.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case its worth more than a thousand words.And a few words that come to my mind when I see these pictures are oppression, torture, exploitation, abuse, disgust.Whats happening to the world?

Among the signs of the Hour will be the disappearance of knowledge and the appearance of ignorance.The Hour will come when leaders are oppressors.

Trustworthiness will be lost, i.e. when authority is given to those who do not deserve it.

Is this what you call liberation and freedom ?

The recent apology by President George Bush to the Iraqi people is not sufficient to undo the horrible pillage and rape of Iraqi women and girls that took place during the early days of the US occupation of Baghdad. There is some evidence that the invading US forces were provided with amphetamines and pornographic materials to incite their thorough ravaging of Baghdad.

Reports of sexual violence and abduction of women and girls abounded in Baghdad during the early days of the occupation . . . reports that the US government chose to ignore. Human rights groups, medical practitioners, victims, and witnesses had documented many of the crimes. Human rights organizations were concerned that many other cases went unreported and uninvestigated because some of the Iraqi women and girls feared that reporting sexual violence and rapes would provoke “honor” killings and social stigmatization.

A large number of the abductions and rapes were committed and filmed by hired mercenaries of the Pentagon and many of these photographs and videos wound up in for-pay pornographic websites based in the United States. One of these websites has shut down ever since La Voz de Aztlan made this information public. The website called "Iraq Babes", believed to be owned by Jewish pornographers, advertised it with the The website at http://www.iraqbabes.com/ The site has been shut down and presently only shows one web page with a stick drawing of a horse. The website showed photographs and videos of Iraqi women and girls being brutally raped.There are numerous cases of the brutal rape of Iraqi women and babies as young as nine years old.

U.S. soldier sentenced to 100 years in prison

A U.S. military court in Baghdad heard graphic testimony on Monday of how three U.S. soldiers took turns raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl before murdering her and her family.

At the hearing into whether four U.S. soldiers should be court-martialled for rape and murder, a special agent described what took place in Mahmudiya in March, based on an interview he had with one of the men, Specialist James Barker.

Special Agent Benjamin Bierce recalled that Barker described to him how they put a couple and their six-year-old daughter into a bedroom of their home, but kept the teenage girl in the living room, where Barker held her hands while Sergeant Paul Cortez raped her or tried to rape her.

Barker then switched positions with Cortez and attempted to rape the girl but said he was not sure if he had done so, Bierce told the hearing.

Barker also told the special agent he heard shots from the bedroom and shortly afterwards Private Steven Green emerged from the room, put down an AK-47 assault rifle and raped the girl while Cortez held her down.

Barker told Bierce that Green then picked up the weapon and shot her once, paused, and shot her several more times.
The only possible reason for killing this young girl was to silence her and hide his crime.

Green, 21, faces the same charges in a U.S. federal court in Kentucky, home of the 502nd Infantry Regiment, his former unit. Green, who has pleaded not guilty, was discharged from the army for a "personality disorder."
What tipped you off? Is this the type of soldier you let into the Army these days, or is this the kind of soldier Iraq makes?

Defense Attorney Captain Jimmie Culp was blowing chewing gum bubbles while Yribe, sitting to his left, began sucking on a red lollipop during the testimony.
What??!!!

Is this how serious the Army is taking this? They allow the defendent and his lawyer to chew gum and lick lollipops during the proceedings?

An Iraqi army medic told the hearing on Sunday he entered the house and found the body of 14-year-old Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi naked and burned from the waist up, with a single bullet wound beneath her left eye.

Special Agent Gary Griesmyer recounted Cortez' account of the day. "While they were playing cards and drinking Iraqi whiskey, the idea came to go out to an Iraqi house, rape a woman and murder her family," he testified.

Cortez said Barker told the young girl to "shut up" after she was raped, Griesmyer said.

Bierce said Barker told him he poured kerosene from a lamp on to the girl. It was not clear who set her on fire.

Green said he wanted to go to a house and kill some Iraqis, Barker wrote in his sworn statement.

After the rape and murders, he wrote that he began to grill chicken wings.
And you know these guys will not face any real punishment, The trial is a sham and the Army is treating it as a joke.

my confession about Islam

Why do so many people have anxiety, depression,and self esteem problems? Why is Lebanon going through what it has been going through since 1975?Why is the whole world practically corrupted?I might have the answer.Or I think I might.

People aren't practicing their religion.We have become so distant from the truth.Why is it so easy to listen to are deepest and darkest desires but so hard to just simply pray on time?We know the truth and its right in front of our faces but the artificial fruit of the dunya has blinded our eyes.It has blinded our eyes in the sense that we only see the bad and don't see the good very clearly.There are so many distractions in this world that are taking us away from what we are really supposed to do.If we took all the those distractions away and put them aside and were only given Islam it would be the most beautiful thing.Islam is the most precious and the most logical religion there is.Its so simple yet covers every single aspect of life that one could think of.No religion other than Islam has made the most sense to me.I mean how could Jesus be God? And if Jesus was God why did they kill God? Astaghfurallah...

We are accountable for our sins and and we cant go on through life doing whatever we want thinking that its going to be okay and we are going to be forgiven by someone.
We cannot lead a life of sin and say I will ask for forgiveness when im older.Nobody knows whether they are going to live until to tommorow.Only Allah knows.Allah Subhanwatalla is the most greatest and its beyond our mind capacity.We cannot see Allah but Allah can see us.I think its degrading to have pictures of your own God.Allah is so great that its just impossible to imagine.

The Muslims have been blessed with the most beautiful religion there is,and yet we are not following it.We are so fortunate to have been given the truth.So we cannot go around blaming other people and what they do when we have been given the truth and are not practicing it.If its anybody that should be blamed it should be us.
Study about Islam not Muslims.We have confused our culture with Islam and have compromised our religion to make our selves feel more comfortable.

This dunya is really just a test.The real happiness is in paradise.In jannah we are granted eternal bliss and happiness.So doing what is right will make it easier for us now and in the after life.


There are signs in the earth for those whose faith is certain and even in your very selves our sings if you would only reflect.

We are given signs but we just don't pay attention to them or just too preoccupied with ourselves that we cant see them.Or we might be just too distant and far away that we are not able to recognize them.

There are many sings and we need to stick closer to our religion because the end is coming soon.But Allahu Alam when.

"Are they waiting for anything except the Hour, to come to them suddenly? But its Signs have already come!" (Al-Qur’an, Surah Muhammad)

Naked, destitute, barefoot shepherds will compete in building tall buildings.

The slave-woman will give birth to her master or mistress.

A trial (fitnah) which will enter every Arab household.

Knowledge will be taken away (by the death of people of knowledge), and ignorance will prevail.

Wine (intoxicants, alcohol) will be drunk in great quantities.

Illegal sexual intercourse will become widespread.

Earthquakes will increase.

Time will pass more quickly.

Tribulations (fitan) will prevail.

Bloodshed will increase.

A man will pass by the grave of another and wish he was in the latter’s place.

Trustworthiness will be lost, i.e. when authority is given to those who do not deserve it.

People will gather for prayer, but will be unable to find an imam to lead them.

Lebanon's Heavy Metal Musicians Discuss Censorship

Heavy metal music has come in for harassment and censorship over in Lebanon at various times over the years because of its alleged satanic links. (Similar moves against heavy metal and its fans have been seen in Egypt and Morocco).

Moe Hamzeh, leader and founder in 1992 of the Beirut-based rock group THE KORDZ described to Burkhalter the clampdown on metal music in the 1990s. After the singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994, a young man in Beirut also killed himself and the authorities claimed he had been influenced to do so by Cobain.

Cyrille Najjar, a co-founder in 1996 of the "gothic" group THE ARCANE recalls how some of his friends were put in prison and beaten up. Burkhalter found that Garo Gdanian, the leader of the death metal group WEEPING WILLOW did not seem to care too much about censorship. "At the same time his band practises quite a lot of self-censorship — a strategy that is not unknown in the Lebanese metal scene." Some albums of metal music are still on a black list.

Xardas, a 24-year-old Lebanese from Tripoli whose real name is Osman Arabi, suffered a striking case of music censorship in June 2006. Xardas is a composer and producer of a genre of electronic music known as "dark ambient". In April 2006 he released an album entitled "Acid Vomit. Human Genocide" on the U.S. record label Autumn Wind Productions.

When the U.S. record label sent 150 of the CDs to Xardas they were seized by General Security on the grounds that they were "satanic" and "offensive to people's morals". Xardas was summoned by the headquarters of General Security, and had to sign a paper promising he would not send or receive any packages containing "dark, harsh or weird" music. He was warned that if he broke his promise he would be arrested and jailed without trial.

Bus bombing in beirut

Three people are reported to have been killed and about 20 injured after bomb blasts tore through two buses near the Lebanese Christian mountain town of Bifaya. Television footage showed at least one bus totally destroyed and ambulances carrying away people on Tuesday.Police sources had earlier put the death toll at about 12, but later reduced the figure.

Blood stains could be seen at several places near the bus wreckage. One of the two buses was completely burnt out while the other was partially damaged, Al Jazeera's correspondent reported.Hassan al-Sabaa, Lebanon's interior minister, said early investigations showed the bombs had exploded inside the minibuses.

The head of the Lebanese Red Cross said six of the wounded had been taken to a nearby hospital. "There could be more casualties," Georges Kettani said.The buses were carrying people to work in Beirut from two Lebanese Christian towns.The blasts wrecked the buses and other vehicles on a mountain road about 24km northeast of Beirut.Tension has been running high in Lebanon since street clashes last month, between supporters and opponents of the Western-backed government, in which nine people were killed.

Pro-government groups had planned a mass memorial in Beirut's Martyrs Square on Wednesday to mark the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri, the former prime minister, despite fears of friction with opposition supporters who have been camped out nearby since early December as part of a campaign to topple the anti-Syrian government.The blasts took place amid signs that a deal to end the political crisis was close.

"Every time the possibility of practical solutions looms on the horizon between the Lebanese factions to strengthen their unity, the enemies of Lebanon rush to commit a new crime against innocents," Emile Lahoud, the Lebanese president, said.

Amin Gemayel, Lebanon's former president and a prominent Christian leader, told the the Voice of Lebanon radio station that "alien hands" were behind the explosions."Lebanese do not kill Lebanese," he said.

One of the buses was travelling from Bikfaya, the home town of Gemayel, whose son Pierre was assassinated in November.Pierre Gemayel was the industry minister in the government of Fouad Siniora, the prime minister, which has been locked for months in a power struggle with the Hezbollah-led opposition.

Karim Pakradouni, a leader of Gemayel's Phalangist Party, said it was time for Lebanese to unite."The curse cast on Lebanon has not yet been lifted. Political messages in the world are relayed verbally or in writing. In Lebanon, they are written in blood," he said.

The attacks came a day before the second anniversary of the assassination of al-Hariri.Walid Jumblatt, a senior leader of the governing March 14 movement, said: "[This attack] is to terrorise people who are coming to commemorate the anniversary of Rafiq al-Hariri's assassination.

"I don't have any physical evidence but they are delivering the message, practically on the ground."Samir Franjieh, a parliamentarian, said: "This is a terrorist act of a new kind aimed at foiling the second anniversary of the assassination of martyr al-Hariri."

The bombings are the first since the killing of Pierre Gemayel, which was one of a string of actual or attempted political assassinations since al-Hariri's killing on February 14, 2005.Many Lebanese have accused Syria of masterminding al-Hariri's killing and the subsequent attacks.

Damascus has denied any role. A UN inquiry has yet to complete its investigation.

No sleep means no new brain cells

Missing out on sleep may cause the brain to stop producing new cells, a study has suggested.

The work on rats, by a team from Princeton University found a lack of sleep affected the hippocampus, a brain region involved in forming memories.
The research in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a stress hormone causes the effect.

A UK expert said it would be interesting to see if too little rather than no sleep had the same consequence. Deficits The researchers compared animals who were deprived of sleep for 72 hours with others who were not. They found those who missed out on rest had higher levels of the stress hormone corticosterone.

It would be interesting to see if partial sleep deprivation - getting a little bit less sleep every night that you need - had the same effect Dr Neil Stanley, sleep expert
They also produced significantly fewer new brain cells in a particular region of the hippocampus. When the animals' corticosterone levels were kept at a constant level, the reduction in cell proliferation was abolished.

The results suggest that elevated stress hormone levels resulting from sleep deprivation could explain the reduction in cell production in the adult brain.
Sleep patterns were restored to normal within a week.

However levels of nerve cell production (neurogenesis) were not restored for two weeks, and the brain appears to boost its efforts in order to counteract the shortage.
Writing in PNAS, the researchers led by Dr Elizabeth Gould, said that although the role of nerve cell production in adults remained unknown, "the suppression of adult neurogenesis may underlie some of the cognitive deficits associated with prolonged sleep deprivation."

People who experience a lack of sleep experience concentration problems and other difficulties.
Sleep expert Dr Neil Stanley, based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, said the study's findings could not be directly translated to humans because people did not go without sleep for 72 hours, unless they were in extreme circumstances.

But he added: "It is an interesting finding. It would be interesting to see if partial sleep deprivation - getting a little bit less sleep every night that you need - had the same effect."

Jantar Mantar

Jaipur, India, 1985

An arched doorway leads to a staircase in the astronomical observatory called Jantar Mantar. The complex, located in the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan, India, was built by astronomer Jai Singh around 1730 and is still in use today. It includes large, abstract-looking structures designed to track the motion of the sun and tell time, among other uses.

Jantar Mantar is a Sanskrit phrase meaning “magical device.”

Disparame Dispara and the candle

This thought is stuck in my head.

Disparame Dispara

As I light the candle I wish for it to never burn out, for it to be lighted forever.......

the candle that guides me through the way
the candle that brightens my day
the candle that keeps the darkness away
the candle that leaves me in dismay
the candle that starts the fray
the candle that makes me want to run away
the candle that never lets me be free
the candle that lets me see
