In the last couple of weeks we have seen those that are pro-regime call the protesters in Syria as Traitors and conspirators against their country. I have been stunned to hear from a couple of people that I talked to (some are family members) that what the regime is doing is just because these people (protesters) want to destroy the country. They call them "mukharebeen" that is people that sabotage, vandalize and to put it simply, terrorists. They say those that attack public goods like buildings and such deserve what they are getting.
What this reflects is two things, first, to these people human life is not sacred, secondly, materialism and worldly desires have blinded them so much that they have become selfish. In their eyes a nation is a place, a land, a building or a park, a road and a billboard. They are Wrong. A Nation... is a PEOPLE. People not stone or bricks, not a tree or a building. It is the people. People make up nations, they build nations.
So when you deprive your people from liberty, justice, freedom, security when you strangle their aspirations, hopes and dreams, when your doing this to your PEOPLE, your destroying your Nation; your Country.
Those that kill their people, kill their nation; those that say it is alright to kill some people for the sake of security, in fact are aiding to the destruction of their nation; and those that feel nothing when they see a person killed have no regards to their nation, they don't respect or love their people or nation. They are selfish, they are slaves to materialism. And They Are, most importantly, Traitors.
A nation is not a place, a land, a building or a park, a road and a billboard. A nation is a People.

Putting in the effort
Its been a packed couple of months and its amazing how time flies by, and how any persons' life moves through various transitions and phases without even noticing it has. We all go through the childhood phase, teenage phase, slightly mature and mature phase without noticing the difference unless we actually think about it; its natural, things develop and people move on. But sometimes when you sit all alone and remember how things were in the past you start to think how good things were "back then" and how you miss the "good old days" when it was "back then" you were probably thinking "when the hell will this end!!?"
Nikos Kazantzakis (I'm dying to read his books, unfortunately I live in an isolated bubble, i.e. Syria) puts it "While experiencing happiness, we have difficulty in being conscious of it. Only when the happiness is past and we look back on it we do suddenly realize — sometimes with astonishment — how happy we had been".
As you grow you start to see your first dreams die off, and a person starts to become more 'realistic'. You leave your dreams of being an astronaut, an astronomer, a president and go for that realistic stuff; accounting, finance, engineering or even the military. Some of us will grow and accomplish our childhood dreams, others won't. Sometimes I wonder how come I didn't end up doing what I always wanted to do, and why right now I'm doing something completely different.
But I think I figured it out, and that it all comes down to one thing: Effort. In order to accomplish what you want you have to do something about it. Nothing comes without effort. This reminds me of the story of Maryam (Mary) in the Quran where it says:
"And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: she cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! Would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!" (23) But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee; (24) "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: it will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.(25)"
How many of us have shaken a palm tree before and dates fell from it? It is very difficult especially if it is a women giving birth as well. Although God is more than capable of making those dates fall from the tree without Mary having to shake the tree, God almighty is trying to show us here that without any sort of effort, even if you are thinking of doing the right thing, nothing will happen. If you sit around praying to God for things to happen, and then do nothing about it, believe it or not, nothing will happen.
Which reminds me of the shiekh/imam at my local mosque. I've heard people (non-muslim) talk about this before, how imams at mosques pray for the destruction/humiliation/suffering of other people (non-muslims) and pray that God makes the muslims victorious over their enemies, and then we wonder why non-muslims think muslims are all terrorists.
I want to show two points here, 1) that shiekh is doing exactly what I was talking about earlier, he stands at the minbar (pulpit in the mosque where the imam stands to deliver sermons) praying/supplicating for things to happen, and then he goes back home and sleeps, or what ever he does.
2) That when people at the time of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to come up to the prophet and tell him to pray for the defeat and destruction of the enemies of Islam, the prophet would pray that they are guided to Islam and not for them to be destroyed. Why does that Imam, and many others, don't follow the sunnah (teachings derived from the actions and sayings of the Prophet) of the Prophet? Why do they do what the prophet didn't do?
We are a frustrated people, us Arabs and muslims, from the years of injustice and persecution that has been placed upon us, and our inability to defend ourselves, but will more talk and no action ever do us any good; has it ever done any good?

If you don't write...
I once heard someone say, "if you don't write, you don't learn". It feels like its been ages since I last wrote anything substantial, and it really does actually feel strange. I hope I get back to the habit of writing more frequently, because I know that there are a couple of you out there who really miss my thorough, complex and enlightened analysis of world politics, my splendid humour and just at times simply miss me...... ???
So I once heard someone say, if you don't write, you don't learn. And I agree.
I think when a person starts to write about anything they start to learn more about not only what they are writing about but also about themselves; It is that search for thoughts, for words, that describes what you feel and believe in that makes you know yourself a bit more. It is that process of trying to articulate the thoughts in a way that is not only understandable to you but also to those that will eventually read what you are writing, that makes things clearer to you.
I think the more a person writes the more they discover themselves. In contrast reading only injects foreign ideas, it is the act of writing that confirms your thoughts and opinions and makes them permanent, but not unchangeable. Some people have told me before that they find it hard to find the right words to describe their opinions and ideas when they write, but as everything else, there is a learning curve, the more you write the easier it becomes, and the more you learn about yourself.

Stuff that Whirl in my head
Has the world gone mad? or are there only a few people who think that it has? Relative and perspective are the words here that we need to look at. For some this age denotes the time of great technological advances, of human intellectuality reaching its highest potentials and still pressing on, of human affluence and comfortable lives; others view this age as the age of moral corruptness, greed and injustice, the individual over the masses, of subjugation of the weak and the Earth to the desires of the powerful and strong.
And in all that mess we even fail to understand each other as humans due to culture and religious differences. To be honest this is not uncommon or unheard of, history is filled with events where the powerful and rich places an iron fist on the weak and helpless, where massacres have happened because one person believes in the Cross and the other believes in fire. But having reached a level where as I stated earlier of such high intellectual thought why we as humans still act in such ways, and why does it seem that sometimes we live in two different worlds?
In reality we don't live in two different worlds, but we make sure that we believe that we do sometimes due to our own prejudices. Walter Lippmann puts it this way,“When full allowance has been made for deliberate fraud, political science has still to account for such facts as two nations attacking one another, each convinced that it is acting in self-defense. . . . They live, we are likely to say, in different worlds. More accurately, they live in the same world, but they think and feel in different ones.”
We all know that today we live in a village rather than a World, yet we still see how primitive people become when two different people are faced against each other. I guess its as simple as human nature, that we humans still behave in a tribal fashion; we stick to those we share similarities with and fight against those who are different, whether wrong or right. Its also got to do with the fact that we as humans would rather belong than not to belong; would rather fight with the wrong-doers than being a renegade, an outcast. I don't think that we as humans, have reached a level where we are aware that we are not mature enough yet.

Thoughts: What are we certain of?
The initial quote talking about 'the truth' on Maysaloons' latest post got me thinking what is truth in the sense of something that we are all very certain of whether muslim or non-muslim. Only one thing came to my mind, (apart from scientific facts or truths) one truth that no one can deny, that we can all be very certain of, it is death. No human being has ever escaped death, and in one way or another we will all eventually die. It is inevitable, it is a truth.
Death makes people, or at least myself, think of the things that I have done in this life, the things that are according to me have been mistakes and the things that I should be doing more of that I am not currently doing. It unveils to a person their own hypocrisies and makes them think about the irrelevance of this life that we live no matter who you are because if you are rich, poor, handsome, famous, etc, death will get to you. The thought of this truth humbles a person. It makes a person a little bit more prepared for what is to come and provides a form of notice that that person needs to amend any wrong they have done before the day of judgment. The Holy Quran says alot about death and what happens to those who have forgotten and decided not to remember:
And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!" (19) And the Trumpet will be blown — that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given) (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). (20) And every person will come forth along with an (angel) to drive (him), and an (angel) to bear witness. (21) (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" (22) (Chapter 50; verses 19-22)
And also in chapter 75 verses 26-35
Nay, when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit), (26) And it will be said: "Who can cure him (and save him from death)?" (27) And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of parting (death); (28) And one leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded)[] (29) The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allâh)! (30) So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this Qur'ân, and in the Message of Muhammad SAW) nor prayed! (31) But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'ân and the Message of Muhammad SAW) and turned away! (32) Then he walked in conceit (full pride) to his family admiring himself! (33) Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you! (34) Again, woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you! (35)
Subhanallah. We are given signs, and we are then told what those signs are, yet we still walk away refusing to think.

how arabs treat each other
This whole talk and hype regarding the football game between Egypt and Algeria which will qualify one of those teams to the world cup has unveiled the true colors of what we 'Arabs' think of each other, I am talking here at the people and not the governments.
I was amazed to hear after the game what one of the Egyptian presenters of a TV show had to say. As soon as the game was over the presenter (a lady) said something along the lines of 'this win is a pride for all Arabs'. The first thing that came to my mind is "so Algerians are not Arab?!"
To be honest, and whether we like to admit it or not, us "Arabs" never really 'liked' each other. We never treat an 'Arab' in the same why we would treat any other person. Let me give some examples, Example 1: if your an Arab and you apply for a job in the Gulf region you would be given X amount of salary per month, but if your still that same Arab but this time you apply to a job saying that your actually an American/Canadian/British citizen you will be given double that salary.
Example 2: when driving a car in another Arab country which say your there to visit family,and you are stopped at a checkpoint and you happen to be holding a driving license from another arab country which you arn't meant to be driving with, you will either be harrassed for a while or taken to jail, on the other hand if you hold an American/Canadian/British driving license the cop will see your license, and will then salute you then he will thank you for stopping and will ask you to please move on. (personal experience)
Example 3: When two Arab football teams face each other in a sensitive game one like lets say, a World cup qualifier game! The game will most definitely end up with escalating tensions between the two countries (on all levels including public, political, media, etc) like what happened between Egypt and Algeria, Syria and Kuwait (AFC cup), Kuwait and Saudi Arabia (Gulf cup), Syria and UAE (world cup qualifier) and so on. On the other hand when Arab teams face other countries nothing happens and the best example here is the lose of Tunisia against Mozambique and Bahrain against New Zealand given that both are vital world cup qualifying games which both Tunisia and Bahrain unfortunately were not able to make.
Example 4: In some Arab countries an Arab will require a visa prior to entering another Arab country (and may require to fill out an application and then wait for a couple of weeks before that Arab person gets the visa to visit another Arab country) but for non Arabs a visa can be obtained in the airport with no hassle or anything of that sort.
You see, we Arabs "speak alot" meaning we say what we don't really mean and many Arabs pretend like they are cool with each other and like each other, but in reality...

I enjoy listening to speeches by Bashar Al Assad because he says things in his speeches that no Arab leader says or has said in a long time. Things like 'if peace is not achieved then our only means to get back what has been taken from us by force, will be through resistance', or 'Resisting occupation is a national duty and for Syria to back it up is a moral and a legitimate duty and that supporting it is an honor for us" are things that any body in this region likes to hear. Still in many cases what is being said does not match the reality on the ground...
Thoughts: being an Arab or a Muslim?
So I haven't been here a lot, apparently residing in a new country requires so much work to be done especially when you are residing in a country where the bureaucracy is unbelievable. Apart from that living in Syria for a while made me notice a lot of things that are wrong with this country, whether big or small but I'll leave those for other posts (just to have something to talk about later on).
As I read the news through a proxy server (since many useful websites that I used to visit are no longer permissible for the average Jim in Syria) a title of an article written by Michel Kilo caught my eye on Alquds Alarabi. The article is titled "The Arab inability to find Shared Nationalistic Denominators". The following is not a comment on the article but merely a remark on the title of the article.
To be honest as I became more interested in politics through the years, as most Arabs, I have been deceived with the colonial idea of Arab Nationalism. When it becomes hard to define what an Arab is in the first place (according to the Arab league it is mainly language?) then you will have a problem with finding the smallest shared denominator between different "Arab" countries. Arab nationalism only came about when western powers that had colonial interests in the region came up with this idea to break up the last of the Caliphates, the Ottoman Caliphate. Arabs back then were over excited with the promises and lies that were given to them by those seeking to colonize the region. Indeed after the "Arab revolution" finally getting what it wanted, an independent rule over "Arab territory" separate from Islamic rule they were (the Arabs) put aside as those seeking to colonize the region (Britain and France mainly) forgot about their promises to the Arabs and sent their armies to colonize the region (see for example the Sykes-Picot agreement).
In addition to this, the failure of Arab nationalism to really deliver the hopes and dreams of Arab states can be easily seen. Maybe the only time Arab Nationalism was saw the light of success with out it succeeding was during the time Abdulnasser was in power in Egypt who failed with uniting Arab countries even though he had widespread public support from nearly all Arab countries.
I think the only reason why many of us consider ourselves as being Arabs is just a result of something more greater that most of Arabs believe in. Our Arab identity is just part of a greater identity, which is Islam. In reality our ultimate identity as people who live in the region known today as the "Arab World" is not the over-puffed and hyped identity as Arabs, It is Islam whether it was through the Islamic culture and traditions shared by most Arabs or in the belief in Islam as a religion (keeping in consideration ethnic and religious minorities that do exist in this region).

Dust in the Air
While Obama declares his countries' eternal support to the Zionists entity no matter what asking (begging) Zionists leaders in the White House to give him more time in order to accomplish his vision for peace in the middle east; news from the Zionist entity that soldiers were given orders Not to differentiate between civilian and militants during the massacres of Gaza in 2008 are reported. Leaves me wondering, how could a president of a nation with the principles of Freedom, Liberty and Justice for all ask from those who commit atrocities and have never shown the will to make peace for more time to achieve anything..? Will Obama promise the Palestinians a life with no persecution, injustice or racial apartheid..?
