“

I have forgotten my mask and my face was in it.

Man has been corrupted by his symbols. Language has killed the animal.

We permit no one to enter our web of flesh where we have our home … We retreat more deeply into ourselves; with each advancing moment the self retreats from us.

What horror can be greater than an arm of monstrous dogs led by a human intelligence.

” —One of the most heartbreakingly beautiful lines in literature, receding into one of the most grimly heartbreaking visions of humanity. Fro Kenneth Patchen’s The Journal of Albion Moonlight, 1941. (via explore-blog)

When my brother was in highschool, he was always the kid that other Muslim kids would go to if they were being harassed or bullied. My brother was suspended countless time for fights he has gotten into because a girl complained about being bullied for her hijab, or another kid who was being harassed and didn’t know how to defend himself.

Although it drove the family crazy at the time, I can’t deny that I love him for it. Even though half of these Muslim kids turned out to be assholes later on.

Last night, I spent an hour stalking the twitters and instagrams of filthy rich kids from the royal families of the Gulf countries..

Good God, these kids need to be sent to boot camp, or better yet, just live a week with the people on the streets of their country. Then they’ll know why its absolutely obnoxious to the rest of mankind when they tweet how ‘rich & fabulous’ they are and post their instagram pics of a dozen dolce & gabbana and coach bags they’ve just purchased. No, no go ahead children. Yes, we’re certainly all hating on you for spending the money that belongs to your people. And no, we won’t mention the fact that your country has a high unemployment rate and the fact that there’s discrimination against its workers.

Romney in Israel: Palestinian Culture Is Inferior

Speaking to roughly four dozen donors at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, Mr. Romney suggested that cultural differences between the Israelis and the Palestinians were the reason the Israelis were so much more economically successful than the Palestinians. He also vastly understated the income disparities between the two groups. …

“Culture makes all the difference,” Mr. Romney said. “And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things.”

“As you come here and you see the G.D.P. per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000, and compare that with the G.D.P. per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality,” he said.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Saeb Erekat, a senior aide to President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, called Mr. Romney’s remarks “racist.”

“It is a racist statement and this man doesn’t realize that the Palestinian economy cannot reach its potential because there is an Israeli occupation,” Mr. Erekat said. “It seems to me this man lacks information, knowledge, vision and understanding of this region and its people.”

Israel’s GDP is higher than Palestine’s GDP? Wow, Romney, I’m shocked.

I will still be supporting Israel because it is my homeland; my heritage. I will stand with Israel because I know Israel. I know the history and the facts surrounding. I will stand with Israel because I know the real Israel. Not the one the media tries to paint.

Have you read The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe? Do you lay claim to that heritage? Do you know those facts, that history? You can download it here.

“How to Please your Husband”. Classic. “How to Cook Sumptuous Deserts for your Husband and Keep him from Looking at Lebanese Women”. LOL

And did you hear the ones that warned about the threat of Mohannad from the series ‘Noor’ on the women and their marriages? How he’s setting the standards too high for Egyptian men. Priceless.

One of the main reasons why I’m not a fan of some Muslim speakers is because when they speak about Muslim women, they talk about them in the limited roles of being mothers and wives. Muslim women have contributed so much to Islamic history and there is rarely any light shed on the important roles they played outside the private sphere.

Until you start talking about us as active members of the public sphere, I won’t be running to lectures titled, “How to raise good Muslim children in today’s world” or “How to please your husband”.
