Jihad Khazien cites the text of the transcript of the meeting between Bush and his puppet Abu Mazen. Bush does not allow his puppet to resign. After the last Palestinian legislative election, it is doubtful whether the Americans and Israelis will allow for another election. This is why I suspect that the Americans and Saudis [...]

“To the Editor:I was delighted to receive my copy of *Obsession*: (the word complete with scary crescents and guns!) *Radical Islam’s War Against the West*. I look forward to the next installments: *Obsession: Jewish War Against the Gentiles by Control of the Banking System* and *Obsession: The Negro’s Wars on White Women*. It is disappointing [...]

The difference between AlJazeera and Al-Arabiya TV. Basically, one delivers (selectively, of course) the news, while Al-Wahhabiyyah delivers US propaganda. Look how both reported the “crash” of two U.S. helicopters in Iraq. AlJazeera just said “news of crash or downing of two US helicopters.” Al-Arabiyya (clearly receiving its marching orders from US propaganda office in [...]

I noticed that since Human Rights Watch issued its report about the suicide of Asian and African maids in Lebanon, the Lebanese police has not been issuing reports on such cases.

Flash. Tripoli-based, Salafi leader, Da`i Al-Islam Ash-Shahhal, has just returned from Saudi Arabia. He said that Saudi government is very concerned about Lebanon. He added that he discussed feminism, secularism, peace, and democracy with Saudi princes.

Bush Doctrine Update. “A coded French diplomatic cable leaked to a French newspaper quotes the British ambassador in Afghanistan as predicting that the NATO-led military campaign against the Taliban will fail. That was not all. The best solution for the country, the ambassador said, would be installing an “acceptable dictator,” according to the newspaper.”

I received this message (I quote with permission): “Regarding you “hummus” blog entry about Abu Shukri’s, I have a few comments. My mother’s sister is married to Ziad Taha, which is the brother of the owner of Abu Shukri’s. Ziad also owns an Abu Shukri’s location in the Old City. They truly have some of [...]

“In Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such “sins” as wearing a red blouse, and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet.”

What debate did As-Safir’s correspondent in the US, Joe Ma`karun, watch? He called Palin “spontaneous”. There was not a single word or wink or smile by her that was spontaneous.

“A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye.” (thanks Amahl)

Look at this silly Lebanese press. Even nature has to be ranked now for those petty-minded ultra-nationalists. “Despite its small size, Lebanon is well represented in the new competition. Both the country’s famed cedar trees – particularly those in Bsharri and the Chouf Mountains – and Jeita Grotto, in the Nahr al-Kalb Valley north of [...]

“Ralph Nader will be holding a news conference Friday, October 3 at 11 a.m. outside the Grand Mosque Islamic Center in Washington DC where he will challenge Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain to visit a mosque, like they have churches and synagogues, before the November election as a show of respect and tolerance.”

“Although a few papers refused to carry the DVD, about 70 including The New York Times distributed it on the grounds that rejecting it would violate the sponsor’s right to free speech. The decision generated letters, cancellations and even a protest.” (thanks Mohamed)

If Obama wins, I am certain that he will do his best to distance himself from his race. I am certain, he will not even use the word racism, just as he avoided using it during his campaign. I would not be surprised if Michelle Obama chooses the promotion of white supremacy as her pet [...]

Many whites in America really hate O.J. Simpson. Some of them feel that his acquittal in the murder of his ex-wife was one of the biggest injustices of US history. Some even think that his acquittal was worse than the injustice of slavery. Some white people took revenge on him yesterday. (Don’t get me wrong: [...]

Trying to save her from herself, Fox News interviewed Palin again yesterday to allow her to answer (or recite memorized answers) to questions that she could not answer on CBS last week. Among her answers, she said that she read the Economist. I believe that. And Bush reads Hegel every night before he goes to [...]
