Posted Secrets About Virginia Tech Victims

25Apr07

I’ve been busy lately, can’t find the time to write a proper post. My heart goes out to the families of Virginia Tech’s victims.
Maybe it was avoidable, maybe not but it was God’s will for sure.

Not sure this one is about the massacre which took place in Virginia Tech, but seems at least inspired by [...]

Please Go Home

28Mar07

And donate expenses to poor people, fix a school, mend an old government building, widen a street, send someone to school or don’t but just please go home. I, as an Arab citizen appreciate your concern and the effort you’re making to discuss Palestine and Iraq but you know what, it’s getting old and pointless [...]

Two People Died and 43 Severly Injured

26Feb07

Two people are dead and 43 injured some of them in critical conditions, but who cares? apparently only those with no Internet connection.
Every time it rains, bus accidents on the external roads of Amman happen. The first thing I look for in the Jordanian blogosphere is some responsible reaction only to find none. Some people [...]

On Saddam’s Death

30Dec06

I am deeply offended that we are expected to be that stupid. From the moment he was captured to the moment he died, everything felt like a tasteless show. His trial was anything but fair, more like a horrible Egyptian movie in which a “man” is being prosecuted by his worst enemies, and [...]

Airplane or Helicopter Hits a 50 Store Building in Manhattan

11Oct06

So far there’s no evidence of a terrorist attack. Not that I beleive the U.S officials (generally speaking).
SPOKANE — Police say an aircraft - there are conflicting reports if it was an airplane or helicopter - has crashed into a high-rise apartment building in New York City.
The building is located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side [...]

Just Another Mother Murdered

09Oct06

Well, those Palestinians man, they die everyday, surely we can’t report that everday!!!
So what if she died because she was defending her husband and when she refused to stay away they shot her several times…I mean, Gilad Shalit was kidnapped and the whole world was very lucky to know about it - one way or [...]
