Yes, too many Marco Polos and Columbus' destroying virgin lands but why stop there? But let'snot give the other destroyers a free ride. Too many Khālid ibn al-Walīds, Muhammad ibn Qasims and Tariq ibn Zayids as well. Too many Adolf Hitlers, and far too many popes forcing their religion, customs and beliefs on people who'd rather not be bothered. All guilty.

But at least the Arab Muslim conquerors of the old times used to bring culture, prosperity and tolerance where they went.

Westerners never brought anything to the rest of the mankind but death or de-humanization.

Don't be silly. Conquerors have never been welcomed by the people they are conquering whether western, Arab or African.. Iranians, Africans, Spainards, et al all enjoyed their own culture long before Arab invaders forced a new culture on them. The Americans are doing the same thing; forcing their unwanted culture on a people who already have their own that works just fine. Again, all are guilty.

All guilty, yeah...what a wonderful way to DILUTE IT ALL.

Think of the PRESENT, Anonymouse darling, and stand up against the ONGOING genocide of innocent Iraqis instead of intellectually wanking off over cosmic pessimistic axioms of no use.

Only a wanker would use such a pompous and dumb phrase as "cosmic pessimistic axioms". Hell, even you don't even know what you mean by that. You outsmarted even yourself on that one. I love it when people deny Arab atrocities. Seems Arabs aren't responsible for anything ever. The ultimate victims!

Iraq's Political Prisoners.

The following are excerpts from an Urgent Appeal addressed to Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations on behalf of the hundreds of Iraqi detainees in US custody. While the Americans claim that the number of Iraqi detainees in their camps is not more than 10'000 or so, maybe even less, the reality is far different... And I shall quote from the  text which can be found here . dated 11th March 2010, written by WATA - World Association of Arab Translators and Linguists and published on the Brussels Tribunal Website. "... we would like to inform you that the USA occupying forces in Iraq have locked-up more than (162,000) hundred and sixty-two thousand Iraqi citizens in more than (50) prisons and detention camps including (28) camps run by US occupying forces, in addition to many undisclosed investigation and incarceration centers over Iraq. The number of detainees registered in International Red Cross records is around (71,000) Seventy-one thousand, the other detainees are not

Ashes & Dust ...

Image
Let me teach you a few words in Arabic. Ashes is "Ramad" and Dust is "Turab" which also means earth, the soil, and "Turba" may also mean tomb or more exactly the grounds where someone is buried. Ramad and Turab is what Ramadi looks like today. Ramadi in the Anbar province. The hated Anbar, part of the "triangle". The ever so despised Anbar by both the Americans and the Iranians. The hatred was most evident today. The American Forces - wait, I take that back - they are not forces, they are cowards. The American cowards bombed Ramadi today. Many homes were demolished. A family of thirteen was buried under the rubbles. More than 26 civilians were killed, out of which 4 women and several children. Two infants, the youngest was 1 month old. Men rushed to the ruins trying to rescue whatever human form they can find. Bare hands, rugged, dust covering their faces and hair, digging and digging... Most had nothing but a shirt on. No vest, no sweater, no n

Waiting for "Mr.Goodbar."

Image
I vaguely remember the title of this film. It was “Looking for Mr.Goodbar”, starring Diane Keaton, if I recall correctly. Another neurotic, desperate, dependent, insecure, American “woman”, looking for love in all the wrong places... An emotional survival story. I've read a lot of your so-called emotional survival stories... Your dog dies, and you seek emotional survival by either sleeping with the first pretender or you are stuck in therapy for another 5 years. You lose your job and there you go, acting out, fucking around as if there is no tomorrow... You grandparent or parent dies and ditto, you recourse to the same... Your twin towers collapse and ditto again – you have been in therapy ever since. Your therapist is very understanding, after all you pay him/her over 200 dollars an hour and she/he pats you on the back and tells you it’s ok, it’s nothing but a phase of grief...don’t punish yourself, you are just trying to heal... How very touching indeed. You the puritanical, hall
