Statement from Ahvaz

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 21:41:31 +0300

I found this statement and made a rough translation. I don't condone the content of this article and neither do I verify the information given here. I just wanted to publish it because Ahvaz or Khuzestan as the Persians called it in itself is interesting.

Keeping it light

Mon, 17 Apr 2006 05:02:03 +0300

More violence in Alexandria this afternoon. Jar al-Qamar has another post worth translating. I’d like to post it here. I’m getting really depressed. I want to go to Alexandria tomorrow to see for myself.I’m also way past deadline on an article I promised a friend. I might still go. But she’ll kill me if I [...]

You can't find people like Almaghout. We were lucky to have him the while we did.
It feels like all the great men like him, Zakaraya Tamer, and Mamduh Adwan, they all left now about the same time..And sure there will be new great people, but not from the same caliber.
They were sad and complaining like the rest of us about many things here, but because of them I am still very much prouder of this place.

A time back ago I wrote about influence of English and Indian languages in Gulf street slang in Dubai (hindiarabinglizi, indianarabicinglis, arabihinglish?). I asked if someone knew which Indian languages this could be from.

Sectarian Violence in Alexandria: اخ تالت لينا

Sun, 16 Apr 2006 03:39:19 +0300

Clashes broke out today at a murdered Christian’s funeral. Alexandrian blogger Jar al-Qamar’s account of the tensions immediately following the attacks provide a depressing window into what sparked them. Here’s a translation:Yesterday we were a minority, and today I am a minority. Yesterday, [Alexandrian blogger] Solo and I were the only Muslims in a crowd [...]

I haven't post a single word in the last month and half and honestly I don't feel like it now either, not that I am in trouble or anything of that sort :P but it's just I have so much...

Hamdan v. Rumsfeld

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 05:00:09 +0300

The wolves are circling around U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Great. Hope they eat him. But the swing in sentiment against him makes me tired. Back when most Americans polled thought the war Iraq was a swell idea and sat around the dinner table cursing the French, Rumsfeld was a hero and was even [...]

Poor Mohamed…

This really must be seen to be believed.(I’m late to this party. Thanks to Forsoothsayer and Cerise for cheering me up. Poor Mohamed Osman. I personally would be very happy if I looked like him.)Technorati Tags: Egypt, Mr. Egypt
