Secret UAE Torture Tapes revealed

Influenza Epidemic

"The symptoms of the 'Spanish’ influenza (1918) – so-called because Spain, as opposed to countries involved in the conflict, did not censor reports of the spreading plague - included a hacking cough, projectile nose bleeds, and a condition known as heliotrope cyanosis, a dark-blue discoloration caused by shortage of oxygen to the lungs. Unlike most strains, it did not just strike the very young and old but also the 20-40-year-old age group. Around 228,000 Britons perished, and worldwide, it killed at least 50 million – ten times as many as had died in the war.

Now, as the world faces the prospect of a new pandemic - mostly likely triggered by the bird flu virus H5N1 - the question has to be asked: how would Britain cope with a similar outbreak today? In the event of a repeat of 1918, the Department of Health calculates that a quarter of the UK population could fall sick over a fifteen-week period and 375,000 people could die. But the Armageddon scenario is that a new avian virus could have an even worse impact - resulting in more than 450,000 deaths."

A couple of months ago a person giving a lecture said that during a conversation he had with the British Health Minister he was told that "the UK government is anticipating an influenza epidemic that will wipe out a third of UK population. The minister said it should have happened between two years ago and next year"...

Walking Out - An Act of Racism

If the west keeps on bringing up the issue of free speech, and then walk out on a person who is merely expressing his opinion, what does that make the western nations? What is the difference between walking out in protest of what Ahmadinijad had to say about the racist, apartheid Zionist state, and when Muslims walked in the streets demonstrating against the insulting drawings of the prophet Mohammad (may God's peace and blessings be upon him)?

The double standards exhibited by these people is unbelievable. To not accept the fact that the Zionist state is a racist, hateful state that has been waging wars against the Arabs and has been using weapons indiscriminately against civilian populations is an act of racism in it self. These are the same western countries that stood and watched Lebanese being massacred in 2006, and are the same ones supplying Israel with weapons and technology and aid that has been used to Massacre Palestinians for the past 60 years, while at the same time subjugating Arab countries and Muslim countries to economic sanctions just because they refused your hegemony in thier countries..
wonder why AlQaeda gets so many sympathizers within the muslim world...?

An Achievement

A person I knew back when I was still in high school had on his facebook status "officially an American citizen.. Proud to be American!!".. 12 people gave him the thumbs up while another 16 congratulated him on this "achievement"..

Which got me thinking about how many Arabs wish they had a citizenship of a different country, and the reasons for that.. very soon after that I was checking citizenship requirements for the UK.. just checking..

To be honest I will be the last one who will think of doing that.. :)

In celebrating the Independence day, a decision was made to change the look of the Arabian Camel, although we are facing some technical problems which we are in need of help with, this should do for now.. 

rejoice people, rejoice... :)

Old Habits

So much for Obama's decision to shut down and end torture in Guantanamo. Inmates at Guantanamo claim they are still being abused and tortured. Credibility strike one for Obama..
