Facebook cousins

2010-05-02T11:21:00.002+01:00

Whatever arguments facebook has made since the website exist, I admit fb is really good place to link u with ur friends and family members especially if you were abroad. Despite the privacy issues and how our information being exposed to companies and organisations you never heard about them, which in my point of view is not that problem, because I come from one of the third world countries where we have no control or right against who or why and how our information is used. We believe that government knows everything about us, and that’s why I don’t care about privacy issues in the facebook.
My experience with fb is positive in general, because through it I knew many people and been introduced to many others who I though in one day it is difficult to contact them or have chat with them whether because the geographical distance or because we do not have any previous relation and it was impossible to get his contact details.
The other positive thing fb enable me to is to know and reconnect with my cousins, as I am originally from Al-Bida but born and lived in Benghazi my relation with my cousins was very weak, where my relation with my friends and neighbours were very strong .My relation was only with my first tire cousins not anyone else, I remember I met two guys here in the UK and surprisingly they were married to my cousins which I never know or met before, but through fb I was able to find other cousins and know them more in depth, I discover that my cousins are every where in the earth. I get to know some living in US, others in Canada; most importantly I get to know cousins who just live ten minutes away from my home in Benghazi which I never thought they are exist. Now I know more cousins in Benghazi, Tobrock, Tripoli, and most importantly in Al-Bida where my great tribe belong to.the last one I get to know was week through Abduallha (Thanks man).

It is the same with blog, through blog I was able to know more Libyans which Im proud to know them. Now through fb I am able to know my cousins more and more and Im really proud of them, all of them are successful persons in their field. Im wondering now if my grandfather and grandmother have fb accounts.

Moral of the post (I learnt this from Lebeeya) facebook is good tool if we know how to use it correctly.

Back Again

2010-03-28T17:39:00.002+01:00

Sallam guys
it is a long time since my last post, a year and 10 days exactly. Also I should admit this post is response to Lebeeya campaign to bring old blog family back to life.
I have an interesting experience and I think I will benefit from your input about it. as all of us know facebook is take over all the websites and become more important than any other web site. my point is I have to faces or two personality in the facebook which I founded very confusing and not comfortable. I have two account one by my name written by English and the second with my name but written by Arabic. The reason behind of creating two accounts is that. I used to write some status about Libya in my account but this bring more complains from my friends especially who live in Libya and they complain this might affect them because they are in my list (which I believe it is a silly thing). However, I respect their opinion and created another account just for Libya issues and I added only people who has the same interest. The account has my name, my picture, the same information but by Arabic. I thought by doing this I will be ok, but what happened was totally different. I lost the ability to make any states whether in my original one or my new one. Also I started to feel as I am two person and two personalities. I lost the desire to communicate with my friends in both accounts as I don’t know, which personality I should use.
I need your advice shall I keep both of them or delete one of them or just leave it as it is?

Great one

العنصرية

2008-08-09T08:36:00.002+01:00

لست نازياً،

ولم أكره يهودياً،

لكنني أمقت العنصرية.

حاولت إخفاء مشاعري،

حتى لا يتهمني أبناء اليهود،

بعدائي للسامية،

رأف علاء الدين بحالي،

فأهداني بساط الريح،

وأحد مصابيحه السحرية،

أبتهجت،

وطلبت من ساكن المصباح،

أن يأتيني بطاقية الإخفاء الأسطورية.

غاب الجني لبرهة،

وعاد مثل سهم إلى مرماه،

والإبتسامة تعلو سحنته الرمادية.

شبيك، لبيك،

قال الجني،

ويده ممتدة بطاقية الإخفاء المعنية.

لبستها،

فى ظن أنها ستخفيني،

وتخفى معي أسراري العتيقة المنسية.

فى لحظة،

تلاشى، عن الوجود جسدي كله،

أبتهجت، ضحكت، غمرتني سعادة لا نهائية.

فرحة لم تتم،

فقد أكتشفت أن لساني لم يختف،

وكذا، قلمي اللئيم، المجهول الهوية.

تيقنت فى حينه،

بأن الفرح ومضة،

لكن، الأحزان أبدية.

يا للهول، لا سلطان لي عليهما،

لساني يملى، وقلمي يخط الكلمات،

بواقع حروف الأبجدية العربية.

كارثة،

ورطة عويصة،

أليس هذا هو شر البلية ؟.

وقبل أن أفق من دهشتي،

لاحت للقلم المكابر،

فرصته، السانحة، الذهبية.

فتح قنينة الحبر،

ورشف محتواها لآخر قطرة،

وأنطلق فى ثرثرة سرمدية.

ثملت رأسه، ترنحت ريشته،

ركب صهوة نشوته،

وأنطلق يكتب، بغر وكبر وعنترية.

سارع، هذا الخائن، بإفشاء سري،

الذى حفظته فى كرات دمي،

الجارى سيلها عبر أوردتي القلبية.

أعلن قلمي، فى أوج سكره،

وبخط الرقعة،

بأنني أبغض العنصرية.

وكتب بالخط الكوفي العريض،

إن بني إسرائيل،

من أشد عتاة العنصرية.

لا، لست نازياً،

ولا، لم أكره يهودياً،

لكني، أكره (بشدة)، كل من يؤمن بالعنصرية.

Libyan Women Again

2008-07-17T11:16:00.001+01:00

As usual I start my day by exploring Libyan websites looking for good news, but as usual no good news. I found this article wrote by Mr Khiri Abushaqour who seems he is living in UK for long time as I understood from his article.
His article was as a comment in one of Tansim’s posts about Libyan women. You can read Tansim post in this link, and Khiri article in this link.
First I would like to introduce Tansim for those who don’t know her, Tansim,her sister Dunia and Khalid are Libyan youth who really has potential to be our new journalists, the guys have the potential to be something in Libyan media if they have chance, all of them they totally understand Libyan situation and mentality and they try to make some differences in the way how we are looking to the matters. I totally believe these guys will have a great future in Libya and they will have the power to change things in Libya when the time is due.
Now I need to make our contribution to the debate. As Mr Khiri has made many invalid points in his comment, Mr Khiri as many others still link the bad situation in Libya and the Middle East to the religion. He still believes women wearing hejab by force or because they have lack in their confidence, I’m not sure he got this result.
As far as I know most of girls wear hejab by their own decision no one force them to wear hejab and most of them are successful ladies weather in professional life or academic one. I’m not sure why people always like hejab as a sign of oppression, may be Mr Khiri was affected by western propaganda about how Muslim women are forced to wear hejab which is totally wrong. I invite him to go and see in uk not in Libya what the percentage of Libyan girls living in uk are wearing hejab with their decision (keep in mind no one can force you to anything in uk otherwise you will be in treble).
He said ” Statistically and factually, Libyan women today, in general, are oppressed, prudish and backward thinking as opposed to free, open-minded and forward thinking”. Also I don’t know from where he got this result, in any normal society if the women are backward thinking this mean men are backward thinking as well because both of them in the same boat and the same condition, we can not imagine a healthy society by one wing, this lead us to an obvious result which is the bad situation of Libyan women is because they are part of the society not because they are just women, and he referred to that in his article by saying “In the 70s, women were in a much better state in terms of their aspirations and achievements” it is obvious as well this was the situation in Libya as whole women and men not just women because the political situation in that time. This point lead to me to assume Mr Khiri has left libya in 70s and that can explain why he see hejab as strange thing, that’s because the numbers of Libyan wearing hejab(in today view) in Libya was nearly zero, I have an old addition of AL-Arabi (Kuwaiti Magazine) in 1968 shows Libyan girl students wear miniskirt in the secondary school which was normal that days, but doesn’t exist now because of the Islamic awareness that exist today not because they forced to. As you may know Islamic awareness starts in middle of 80s and spread after that, where Mr Khiri was living away from Libya.
In my point of view Libyan women have all the right in Libya, they can work, drive, travel and if there is a problem is because of the traditional habits not because of the religion.
Finally: I’d like to focus on these points
Wearing hejab doesn’t mean the woman or the girl are oppressed.
The religion is not bad thing, but how you explain your believes is the danger and critical thing, we should blame people not the religion.
I have one question to Mr Khiri please explain to me why Turkish women are fighting to wear hejab? Do they like to be oppressed?
I ask all the Libyan blogger girls (Lebeeya, WA, CM, enlightened spirit,Ameera ….etc) to explain their ideas and views about this subject doesn't matter you wear hejab or not to explain to Mr Khiri or me who has a wrong undersatnding of the subject.

Thanks Google

I really would like to thank Google, if i can i'd kiss (him, it) I'm not sure which one i should use
Google helps me to find my childhood best friend, who i didn't see him for 14 years. Salem was living in Libya till 1994 when Qaddafi decide to send all the Palestinian people to Gaza and west bank, since that day i lost the contact with him, the last time we were in the last year in the secondary school and he got 96% as result, Libyan government refused to let him study in Libyan university because Qaddafi decision. anyway since that time i lost the connection with him. I tried many times in the last years to get his contact details but i failed.one day i decide to search about his name and i found one blog belongs to his tribe, i wrote a line asking about him and if anybody could send me his contact details, this was last January, since that i didn't hear anything, but yesterday when i open my email, i found an email from him, walhi i couldn't describe my feeling (i thought i don't have feelings) what surprise, in 3 hours we exchange 24 emails, and after that i spoke with in the phone, he is living in Gaza now and he is a lecturer in Gaza university. now i really think to go to Gaza I'm not sure how but i believe i should do.
this sketch is one of his sketches , he is a very talent guy
Thanks Google again

The Road to Iraq

2008-04-28T11:37:00.003+01:00

I read this article yesterday, the article is very well written and I think it analyzed the subject in fair way, as you may read this articles, it investigates why the majority of Arab fighters (Mujahadeen) in Iraq between 2006 till 2007 were from Derna. Libya was the second source of the Mjahadeen after Saudi Arabia, but Derna was the first as a city followed by Mecca to supply Iraq war by Majaheedn, and I believe if I still remember Benghazi was the third city in the list. The good thing in this article is that, it shows that how wrong were the western political analysts who tend to say Muslims go to Jihad just because they are poor as the first reason and they try to escape from their bad situation and the second because they are sexually frustrated and after dieing in the war they will marry 72 virgin women in the same time. Well these childish explanations are one of the reasons why the war last till know and we don't know when it will finish and how it will finish. From these points the value of this article comes, the writer himself talk and investigate the Mjahadeen's families and reaches to conclusion is that this guys never went there because they are poor or sexually frustrated but because they have faith in their religion and to defend their people, I think these article must be send to US administration, CIA , and the American army in Iraq, to understand one thing as far as they stay in Iraq as far as Mjahadeen from Derna, Tunisia, Cairo, Jadha, Birmingham, London and New York as well, will come every day to fight them. As far as the article is good in general as far as I feel offended in two times, first when he say women from eastern Libya go to west Libya to work as prostitutes to feed their families which I believe he was given wrong information, I don't say there aren't any prostitutes in eastern Libya, but the way he mentioned was unfair and unacceptable at least for me, and the second one I believe he creates the story from his mind when he said one father of these guys promise him if he bring his son back from Iraq he will slaughter a camel for him, as I know in eastern Libya when we promise we promise to slaughter sheep not camel, which I believe it comes from his western image about Arab life they think Arab life is depending on three main things, oil, camels and four wives.

This is the English Versoin of the article
Finally I think this poem can explain why the guys might go to Iraq

وأضاف الزعيم الليبي أن أهم ما في القمة العشرين أن "هناك اعترافا بوجود خلافات ومشاكل وكراهية وتخاذل بين الدول العربية, الأمر الذي تطلب خلق آلية لتنقية هذه الأجواء ولملمة الصف العربي ونبذ الخلافات".

وحول رأيه بشأن الدول العربية الغائبة عن القمة قال "يجب أن نسأل هذه الدول التي لم تحضر ممن تلقيتم الأوامر لكي لا تحضروا؟ نحن سئلنا لماذا حضرنا فقلنا إننا حضرنا لأنه لم يصلنا أي بلاغ".

I can't control myself from laughing when i read the last line.

Back again to Study

2008-02-19T02:02:00.002Z

Many Sallams to all of you guys,many thanks to ut, maya, DTD, and Enlightened spirit for their concern and their comments. i was really busy last weeks in finishing my proposal of the PhD, so i'm going to study again ( wa wa wa wa wa wa) i know it will be at least very tough 3 years , i need ur duas to support me and do the best. i was lucky to get the offer from Cranfield university which is one of the best in my field,also i got very good supervisor for my degree who is from Iraq ,to be honest 60 % of the PhD decision belong to his support and motivation,may Allah reward him for his kindness and support. it took from me more than one month to take my decision which i think it's hard decision, cos spending 3 year just on study is adventure especially if u don't have scholarship from anywhere, inshaliha i hope i'll manage and i'll try to get the most of it.

Also i was involved in getting offers and acceptance for master and PhD degrees for the Libyan student who have scholarship from the government. walahi guys it's funny experience,it's amazing how people act, especially Libyans.i got many funny emails and phones u can't believe that can happen, read this email and told me what i should do

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة

نحن الطالبتبن سين وصاد من كلية الطب البيطرى جامعة عمر المختار من طرف الاستاذ اكس نحتاج الى قبول اكاديمى فى تخصص التشريح بالنسبة لصاد وعلم الانسجة بالنسبة لسين فى احدى الجامعات البريطانية

ولكم جزيل الشكر
now what i should tell the universities give Ms s and MS y offer of master degree or what .
the other day i got call at 6 am,and directly the call went like this

هى: انت الى ادير فى القبول الاكاديمى
انا: لا مش انا

she call at 6am this mean 8 am in Libya, but she couldn't say good morning or sallam alikum or anything good. there are a lot of funny stories i think it needs one especial post.

this funny experience has brought my attention for many things i wasn't aware of, most of those students are girls i think at least 80 % from the students who contact me, and all of them are singles which make their life more difficult because American and British embassies refuse to give visas to their fathers or brothers ,this bad situation put those poor girls in front 3 difficult choices

1- forget about the scholarship and stay in Libya and lose a big chance to discover the world and gain high qualification from abroad.

2- travel alone which i believe most of families will resist because of our highly respected values. at least 2 students told me that if they can not take her father or brother with her to uk, they will not come alone because it's against the isalm values( which i don't believe).

3- married the first one knock the door just to keep the chance of studying abroad and keep her progress.

now what you think and what you will do if you in that situation,if u r father or brother what u will advice your sister or daughter, and if u r the girl what decision u will take

The Award

2007-12-30T14:29:00.000Z

I'm very thankful for all who participate in this vote and spend their time on my blog.

For me blogger world is a place when you can find different opinions and different points of view of the same subject. I think our small piece of writing can reflect at least some features of our personality. Through blogger world I restored the faith and the believe in our future as Libyans, I think we have such great personalities which they can make the difference in this life if they have the chance to do that. Giriani, Highlander, Happy, Anglo Libyan, Dunia, Tansim, Ahmed, Ph, Benghazi C, Leebya, Ema , DTD, and White African all of them show the ability to be great leaders (plz Mr Qadafi don’t get me wrong), I think in Libya we need more and more of this kind of people, before I came Uk, my believes was only intelligent people can make the difference but after three years now and with many different experiences I believe only people who have leadership features can make the difference and I think most of you have these features.

Now I'm delight to introduce BH's Award winners for this year 2007:

1-Anglo Libyan (Life Experience is talking) with 30 points

2- Leebya (The next revolution leader)……15 points.

3- Highlander (The true original Libyan mind)…….13 points.

4- Ph (The right information at the right time)……11 points.

5- Happymoi (The hungry of success)…..10 points.

Surprisingly, 3 out of the first 5 winners didn't vote, hope they will do next year inshallah, also I'll add the worst blogger next year:-P ( what you think PH)

Also, I would like to name Giriani as the golden father and Safia as the golden mother, if we have parents like Griani and Safia I think our future will be in bright and in safe hands.

Hope 2007 was successful year in your life and hope 2008 has more to add to your happiness and success.

Embarka needs you

2007-11-16T10:01:00.000Z

Sallam Guys , i came cross this case on the net , and i think we can help a little bit, this is the story

Assalamu alaikum (peace be upon you) and thank you for visiting this Justgiving page

We have had a phenomenal response to our fundraising appeal for
Embaraka (the young lady in the photo in the cream coloured hijab) during this past month. Embaraka is a schoolteacher from Libya who is in the UK for treatment for blood cancer (chronic myeloid leukemia) because she can't get this treatment in her home country.

She was previously successfully treated for this condition in 1999 and has lived cancer free in Libya for many years. Unfortunately she suffered a relapse earlier this year and had to return to London for more treatment, where she has been struggling to survive, virtually on her own for many months. Her cancer is in a stage called 'blast crisis' which means that she won't live very long unless she has urgent medical treatment. The treatment offers her a chance to live.

Unfortunately, her family in Libya have run out of money and she is not entitled to free treatment or care on the NHS. So, Iman Mahmood (the lady in blue) and I appealing to you to help us raise the 150, 000 pounds she needs to cover the cost of the drug, Glivec, which is used to treat this type of cancer and to pay for a stem cell transplant and after care.

A recent, large donation made to the Hammersmith Hospital anonymously, has enabled Embaraka to undergo chemotherapy treatment and a stem cell transplant. However, we still need to raise another 70, 000 pounds (GBP) to pay for the cost of at least 6 weeks of post surgery aftecare in the Hospital and at least 6 months for monitoring her response to the transplant.

We are really fortunate that the UK registered charity Muslim Global Relief (MGR) agreed to set up a special emergency appeal for Embaraka to help raise funds for her treatment.

You can make a donation in either of 4 ways:

1) Make a donation on this Justgiving page by clicking on 'Donate Now'; donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure and you have the added benefit of seeing how much progress is being made to reach our fundraising target. Muslim Global Relief will receive your money quickly and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

2) Going to the MGR website (http://www.muslimglobalrelief.com/) and donating online by clicking on the Embaraka emergency appeal and following the links.

3) Making a cheque or postal order payable to 'MGR' and posting to MGR, PO Box 2018, Nelson, United Kingdom, BB9 7WB (please write 'Embaraka fund' on the back of the cheque);

4) Making a bank transfer to:

MGR, HSBC Bank plc: Sort code: 40-15-17 Account Number: 81582526 (for international donors only, the SWIFT code is MIDLGB22). Again please use the reference 'Embaraka' for your bank transfer.

In all cases MGR will send you a receipt for your donation. If you have any problems with any of the above ways of payment, please contact MGR through their website, or alternatively email: safzal_2000@yahoo.co.uk

So please, please- if you haven't yet made a donation-donate now and help save a life!

"...and whoever who saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind." (Qur'an ch5:v32)

And please don't forget to mention Embaraka and all of us in your prayers!
Wa 'salaamu alaikum
Saliha and Iman

and this is the link

i also create a group in the face book to support her u can find it in this link

i think we can arrange a visit to her in the hospital, i think she will be happy for that, what u think Ahmed and Anglo?

My Observations

2007-09-15T20:57:00.000+01:00

i spent a week now in Benghazi, no major changes were happen in Libya in general and ib Benghazi in particualer, when u r outside and read libyan websites u feel that libya changed to be Dubai no 2, but in the fact it is in the same situation, whereever u go in Benghazi u will find many adevertisments about big projects espically that related to the infrastraction but u will not find any thing in real live just advertisments. it's exactlly meet the arabic idom اسمع جعحعه ولا طحينا
However i obsoverved two or three things i think they are new to me

1-Leebya(not our leebya) FM
now i can understand why people were angry when they stoped before three or four month ago i think mayson and Damoon mentioned that in that time. lebeeya FM is totally different from goverment radio. first time i heared i thought theey r MBC FM, they are more proffesional than goverment radio, even the programms they intrdoce have good quality.

2-the shortest way to the haven
u wont beleive just in one week more than 25 people died from car accedents, the driving situation is horrible in libya no roles no laws, i think if this numbers continou for a year libyan people will disappear, i found difficality in my first 2 days to restore my libyan driving system, alhmiduliiha i drive now savaly without seat belt , no need for side mirror just drive as fast as u can and u will arrive to the haven so fast.

3- Niqabi women
i hardly remeber any niqabi woman in benghazi before i went to uk, but now i think the number is growing. i'm not with oragainst , i believe it's personal choise, but i dont know the reasons that bring niqab to Benghazi women,the numbers is not to much but i believe i saw around ten or so in this week.

i hope in next 2 weeks less people go to the haven by cars. Rammadn Kareem

Finally: The Freedom

2007-08-28T01:57:00.001+01:00

Today guys I've submitted my dissertation, this mean I finished nearly 95% of my degree and I'm waiting to my oral exam on the 5^th of September, for the whole past year I felt as a slave to the books, study, exams and most importantly slave to the system ,do this and do not do that, which I never did. It is too difficult when u come back to the study after spending some years working, cos it is totally different environment and different prospective, ur mind will be adjusted to the job environment and u will find more difficulty to come back to study environment, so my advice if u have attention to carry more study, do it after u finish ur undergraduate degree directly do not work for long time and after that start study again

I would say thanks to Kemi for her help in reading and correct my bad English in my final draft, also I would thank Bill Gates for the this thing called word application, which I spend horrible week only to know how it is work.

This is my acknowledgment u can rate it, I know it is between 9.5 to 10, don’t say less than :-P :-P :-P

صدق الله العظيم

Now, I am watching my keyboard, I do not know what I should write, many pictures are passing in front of my eyes for the whole past year at Warwick, I think I passed through many challenging, frustrating, difficult times in this year. However, I must admit that the support that I got from Allah (God) was unlimited which allow me to pass over all these difficult times.

First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Ricardo Banuelas, for his strong support, thanks to Ricardo's trust and generosity, thank him to his trusting on my ability to do this research; I particularly would like to thank Ricardo's patience and kindness.

Further, I would like to express my gratitude and love to my special friends whose care and encouragement have helped me through this journey. Thanks to Reda, and Anas, for the ultimate support.

Finally, and most importantly, I would like to say thanks to my mother, who has always given me her deep care, support and love without expecting anything in return and without her I would not be the man I am today. These words are not enough to honour what you did for me, but I do want you to know that if I have ever achieved anything significant in my life, it is all because of you.

Second generation Issue

2007-08-05T11:09:00.000+01:00

Yesterday I had phone from my friend, who is living in Manchester, it was as usual about Libya, we had long debate on the phone about one hot issue related to the Libyan second generation who born and rise here in uk, my friend living here since 1990 and he has 3 children the eldest 11 and the youngest is 6, he is working as engineer in respected company, yesterday he phoned and told me I need your advice, his question was I need to go back Libya for good what is ur for advice me? I told him it's depend in his reasons and situation, which I was totally sure it's related to his children, which he replied and told me listen I need my children to be pure Libyan, I don’t want let them face conflict in the future about their identity, are they British or are they Libyan, to be honest all my friends here who have families they face this problem, all of them they suffer from this point, and all of them start to think to go back to Libya or to another Arabic country (most preferred country is Emartes).my friend told me the first problem I face is that children communicate to each other in his house by English not by Arabic, he told me he never speak English with them he just speak Arabic, but it seems the children find it easy to communicate by English, last few month I visited my friend in London who have two adorable children I think they were 5 and 7 and he faces the same problem the amazing thing is that when the father ask them to do any thing, he ask them by Arabic but the kids replay by English which I founded very strange, how can brain of small kid can understand the question by language and replayed the answer by another, also this friend start to think to leave uk to another country just to maintain the identity of his children, last month I went to a Libyan wedding in Birmingham with my friend and his two sons, which I know them very good, they both speak good Arabic, actually their father use his power and some times he punishes them if they speak English in their house and he do his best to let them remember all the Quran and read it every day in the mosque just to maintain their Arabic language, these kids I never hear them speak English , but that day, their father just left them with me for 5 minutes to speak to another friend and immediately the kids start speak English to each other, which I was completely surprised, I asked them what happen u just speaking Arabic before seconds , why u speak English now, they told me it takes long time from them to express what they think or what they want if they speak by Arabic but in English it so easy.

These examples and others from people who I know they lift Canada just to maintain the Libyan identity for their kids, it seems to be big problems for the families who live here, actually I can not feel this problem some times I told my friend you make problem from nothing, but in the other hand after these kids grow up I think they will find difficulties to answer this question am I Libyan or British, Canadian or American, to which part of this world they belong to.

Actually I face some thing similar to this problem now, my father who is from Albida 200km east Benghazi, ask my younger brothers and sisters to move from Benghazi to Albida to tack care of our land and house there and to be near our roots, but he faces a big opposition of them, they told him how we can move to another place completely different, as you see these guys refuse to move to another city even it is in the same country, same language, same law, what about these guys who born here after they grow up, will they find it easy to move to Libya with different environment, different prospective, I think it is very complicated issue. What you think?

will women rule Libya?

2007-07-13T11:51:00.000+01:00

l just read the news about the secondary schools result in Libya, to be honest i was shocked, from the first 47 students there are 43 girls this mean more than 90% of the future leader will be women,if this percentage continuous next 10 years i believe one day will find lebeeya as our president. may be there is some argument about how guys don't focus to much on study like girls due to our social habits but in all conditions it will not reach to 90% , there is some thing we must consider it which is the number of girls is equal the number of guys in secondary school. for me i saw this girls invasion on the Qaryouins university last year, when i was study in my department in the engineering school we were 25 student just 6 girls, my department was called men department because it's very tough for girls, but last year when i went there and met my old doctors they told me the girls percentage in mechanical department is 70% now this was in 2006 i don't know how much now.
if we take the blogger as a case study, my thoughts can be rights, number of girls is much more of us(poor men), the other point is all girls are ambitious and they are hunger to succeed. Ema,Happy,Piccolina if u read their posts, you will feel as these girls can be project of good successful girls in real life which can benefit the country. if u read highlander blog you will find a bright example about how Libyan girl can be. Safia as well give very good example about how a woman can be successful mother and successful in her professional life.
but not just the succeed in education stage mean that you can succeed in real life, because the challenges is totally different, and there is a important point which is missing in this case which is the social effect of the society, i think there is a lot to do in this field and it's girls responsibility to solve these problems. i read one very good book about libyan women and how we want them to be,the writer is Sadiq Alnihoom, and the book was published in 68 but still valid till now even after 40 years.
for me i can accept a woman as manger in house for peace purpose, but defiantly i wont accept her as my manger in my job.

is it true?

2007-07-09T15:08:00.001+01:00

A world-wide survey was conducted by the UN.

The only question asked was:

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the

food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because...:

In Africa they didn't know what "food" means.

In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" means.

In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" means.

In China they didn't know what "opinion" means.

In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" means.

In South America they didn't know what "please" means.

In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" means.

clever guys

2007-05-11T09:39:00.000+01:00

yesterday i went to London to attend a human right conference , i know my heart is getting softy these days, i think because the age.
in my way back to my city, i went to Victoria station to take my coach, suddenly one guy stop me and ask me are you Arab bro? i told him yea You can speak arabic.
he started by way i don't liked ,he told me he is arab and muslim and his name is mohamed (btw he is egyption) i told him ok i'm not muslim i'm Jewish but i'll do my best to help him, i told him this because i dont like any one use islam or the name of prophet mohamed in such situation.
and i told him he can ask me directly what he want.
he: well i want to go Manchester and i have £11 and i need another£5 to buy the ticket.
now i knew what he want and i must take a decision, but the problem for me i feel this guy is liar, because in libya there are many people do the same in stations and they told you the same story.if i decide to give the £5 i might be stupid and he will take my money and tell himself how he is clever and how me is stupid, and if i dont give the money it might be he is true and he is in need for this money to go to his city and if i dont give him money i'll lose a chance to help one guy in problem, all this i thought about it in seconds and i must take decision.i decide to take the money which he has and buy the ticket by myself to him,if he is lair he will refuse and if he tell the truth he will agree, that's my decision. i asked him again where u want to go, he answered again to manchester, i told him ok come with me and i took hm to ticket office and i asked about manchester ticket they told me it's £23, which mean i must pay extra £12, i told him give me ur£11 to buy the ticket, which he start loooking right and left and told me my money with my friend i'll go to bring it to you, and went and never come back. which i told myself how i'm clever and how he is stupied(don't worry guys i'm clever than this).
when i arrived my city, one guy (from sudan) stoped me and ask me r u arabic brother, i told him yea, which he said alhedulilh from 10 am i was looking for arabic people to speak with them( it was 8pm) i told him that is fine brother what u need, he told me i need to go to my city and i need £2 to buy the ticket because i have just £8 and the ticket price is £10, at this moment i exploded from laughing and laughing i swear all the people in the station were looking at me and they think i'm crazy, after i finished laughing i told him i just met his egyption friend in london, which he start looking at me and doesnt understand any thing, i told him ok brother give me your £8 i'll buy the ticket for you, he told me ok just a minute i'll go toilet and come back to you, and he went and never come back.
i dont know what is written in my forehead, i think there is some writing says that"stupid rich man" which exactly opposite the truth. one of my chienese friend in the uni, first time i met her in the class she told me u must be very rich and very wise man? whick i was suprise and i asked her why, she told me u have big head with big ears with big nose and these features are features of rich and wise men in budiest relegion , and told me ur already looks like buza, which i replied to her whith big smile ok may be buza soul after his death coming to me,and i can be the chiense new god. day after day i'm getting to believe i'm very rich

Libyan funny story

2007-04-29T17:01:00.001+01:00

As most of u, I think have not any ideas about Libyan military system, for that I hope to share with u some funny stories about Libyan military and some of my experience with the military, in Libya after u finish ur graduation u must serve in the military for certain period in order to get job with any sector or company after that, if u don’t serve the military u wont get job it’s easy like that, after u finishing the military period which now just 3 month, u must serve each year one month in ur original camp, actually this month is some times be good because u can find wasta and just go in the last day and collect ur paper shows that u serve this month and u can join ur job, and most of us do that in other word it’s holyday month, or some times ur luck is very bad and they will take u to serve in Libyan border with Chad or Sudan or Niger.

Now come to funny story that pushes me to write the post, last month my friend sent to me an email asking me to contact our camp manger to let my friend go and come at the end of the month to collect his document shows that he serves the military during this month. Actually this camp is my camp as well and I know the guy who manages the camp, he is a General in the military, I told my friend just go to him and tell him B.H ask u to let me go and come back at the end of the month, keep in ur mind my friend is an engineer and has a master degree in the engineering and a supervisor in one of the important companies in Libya

my friend went to this guy and told him B.h eyslm alik and blab la bla , the guy ask my friend how he contact me, my friend told him we always chatting by the messenger, which the guy ask him what is the messenger, my friend explain to him every thing about messenger, which the guy found it amazing and told my friend it’s good invention and ask him to explain to him more and more, the surprise is this guy is managing the most important commutation camp in the military and he doesn’t know any thing about email or messenger or any thing relating to the internet, I wonder if Ameica wants to invade Iibya as it did with Iraq , how Libyan military can face them or how it can mange the communication, I think they will use pigeons is more faster than emails. This is the situation of our military and its leaders they don’t know about any thing in technology even the easy thing messengers or email, the other funny thing is that the guy told my friend he can’t let him go for the whole month but he will ask him to come and serve one day in every week this mean 4 month, now I need from u imagine what kind of service can an engineer do it in the military camp, I’ll give 2 sec to don’t go away, my friend duty was preparing tea for the soldiers, or work as security in the main door to check every one entry the camp and register his name in a paper, remember again my friend is engineer with 7 years experience, supervisor in important company.

This is a funny Libya and how the military function, I have many funny stories with Libyan military and police I think I’ll post about them another time

Brave Heart's life style

2007-04-16T22:46:00.000+01:00

1-First of all if you have advice to me about how I can blog a youtube clip tell me please, cos since I transfer to new blog by using my email as username I can’t blog any thing from youtube.

2- Eating habit, I told white African in her blog that I never cock before, and she can not believe that. I swear I don’t know how to cock, in Libya I was frying egg every day 2 some times 3 times a day but here I can say in nearly 3 years I fried egg 3 or 4 times only, my daily food is constant I think since I start study since last October

2 tuna +cheese + hareesa toasts, and one fruit cocktail, I never use the gas, I never use the microwave, I never buy rice or meat, one time when my friend Hamza was here we bought chicken and we didn’t know how to cock it, I think it remained one month in the refergrater, till it called the police and ask him to let us cock it.

My shopping is the same does not change since I came from Libya, always the same stuff, I’m shopping now from tesco and I believe I’m the fastest person in Uk do shopping because I know the places and straight away take the stuff and go to the till, I think it will not take 3 or 4 minutes to finish shopping. My shopping is 5 skimmed milk, 6 fruit cocktail, 6 tuna in brain, one bag of toast, 2 sweet corn, this my shopping since I came from Libya some times there are more stuff but not always.

3-these some pictures show that how I’m messy person and how my room is. i’m that kind of person who loves living inفووووووووووووووووووووووووووضى

some times i forget my clothes in the washing machine for 2 or 3 days some times a week if nobody use it.

i know u will be shocked from these pictures but it's the reality. and i believe 100% if my mum see these picture her pressure will increase and probably it might take a plane to here to sort every thing, she always telling me that i must live in the jungal not in the city.

Are Libyans mature enough?

2007-04-07T16:35:00.000+01:00

Since I came to England I met many Libyans from every kind of people, from Tripoli, Benghazi, Misrata even from Kufra, the funny guys were from Ghrian, I met those who consider them selves as politics, business guys, student , even I met Libyans who don’t know why they are here.

Before I came here I have a picture about Libyan abroad, they are intelligent, smart, hard worker and the most important thing I thought they are civilized people, to be honest I was chocked, the first thing the Libyan mind doesn’t change any more still close on itself , I’m rarely I met Libyans has friends from other nationality, they try to find their friends from the same city or even the street in Libya and that is it , no more relation no need to interact with other cultures , I think being in England is big chance to know people from every where and know how they think, eat, sing every thing about them. But we Libyan still close mind and when u ask some one why u don’t make friends from other nationalities the answer will be what I’ll benefit from them?

Other thing is that Libyans r divide to many funny group, if we take it from religion view, they divide to salfi people, akhwan muslimeen, jihadist, and all of them they believe in Islam but they hate each other and if u speak or make relationship with any one belong to one group others will see u as an odd thing and stupid person and come to u and tell u all bad thing about these people.

Qurma is the best job for us as Libyans and we can spend hours and hours in Qurma and trying to convince others by our stupid opinion or ideas and if u don’t agree u will open the hell doors in your face.

Other thing we can’t be independent any more, we must have someone who make every thing for us, one take u from the airport, rent a room for u, enrol him in school, open a bank account to him and the most difficult thing is to get good job for him all this u must do it for him when he is sleeping in his room, the reason is he can’t speak English, which is reasonable reason if I don’t see people especially girls from every where, Brazil, china, Poland, eastern Europe do these things by them selves and they don’t know any English word and they don't relay on anyone.

You can’t satisfy Libyans they always see the empty half of the cup and always have excuses about any thing .

I think we have deep social problems inside our society in Libya or here, I think we need an impact to restore our values and principles and being one respected nation.

In the same time, there must be some good people and respected, but they try to be away from this sick society and keep them selves away from this headache.

The funny thing I have strong relationship with three guys I never met, I just know them by the phone, I’m always wonder about this relation how to be strong enough just by knowing them by phone, I swear if I saw them in the street I wont know them.

Any way this our society and we must repaired by any way, I think I mixed things up.

March's issues

2007-03-29T20:24:00.000+01:00

There are two main issue I faced this month, first one I was surprise how many of bloggers or their relative were born in March, I will start by last one lebeeya and her father, Ema’s father, a_akak (Ahmed), Damoon’s sister, Hannu and finally myself, seven person from this a small community were born in march, as I mentioned before most of great men were born in march, this mean I have chance with Ahmed to be some thing great, the definition of great mean I can be a president of Libya of the head of the Mafia I don’t care, about our other halves I read that great women were born in the month number 13, what do u think ? I need ur views.

The second issue was the marriage problem; I think I was talking about this issue nearly daily in this month, which is very strange for me, because I don’t like to discuss any subject more than one time, the start was by my younger brother who sent my family to ask his lady’s hand for marriage and he is planning to do his wedding next summer not this one, his action opened the hell’s gate in my face, all my family start shouting and asking me when u will married and how , why blh blh blh , this kind of useless conversation, I told them I actually married with an old English woman who is 80 and I’m waiting her dead to take her money and go back Libya, I think it’s reasonable reason, my mum asked me (plz BH, I need to see ur children be4 I die) I told her mum u still 50 years this mean depending on the statistics u still have another 25 years to live , which she replied by anger voice ( this kufar’s country destroy ur mind, the life in Allah’s hand not in the statistics books, complete ur study and come quickly be4 u change to Abu Jahel) she told me.

The second time I face the marriage issue when I read in bander blog about ftwaالزواج بنيه الطلاق) ,it allows man to married with نيه الطلاق for 1 or 2 or 3 years when he is outside his country especially when he is in west and there is one condition he must don’t tell his wife about that, how come I don’t know, it’s clearly HARAM, I DON’T KNOW HOW THESE sheeukh think. To be honest I heard this ftwa when I arrived to uk nearly three years now from some Libyan sheeukh in Manchester , and one of my friends told me there is one shekh married more than 12 times using this ftwa, which I replied to him that’s why Qadfi control Libya more than 40 years.

Third time one of my friend who is Algerian need to married one girl and she is Yemeni, her father ask him for £6000 as a MAHER, I told him her father need to sale her not to let her married, and 90% he will buy QAT by your money, I think high number of MAHER is not fair for the both side man or woman, in Libya I think the situation is better than here, the normal rate of Maher is 1000 LD which is good for both sides.

Actually I have many points about marriage issue, I think I’ll blog about it later with your help

New Birthday

2007-03-14T00:10:00.000Z

Today is my 30^th birthday, as u see I’m getting older and older, if I consider the statistics this mean I reach the middle of the road of this live, the nice thing is that I read that Osama Ben laden 50th birthday was 4 days ago, he is older than me by 20 years, this mean we born in the same week, actually there are many famous people they have a big effect on the world were born in the same month. I wish when I’m in my fifties I’ll have the same effect of Osama on the world but in different way.

Actually I’m 31 years now by HJRI age, I was born in Rabia althani month, the same month that prophet Mohamed was born, and it was Monday as well, the same day.

All this gives an indication about how much potential I have to be one of these who change the world, but I don’t know in which way I can do that, my best friend always telling I have potential to be Almaseekh Aldjal. What u think?

The last time I celebrate my birthday happen when I was ten or nine I don’t remember, it was a traditional in the building where I was live, all the families gather together and everyone bring his gift and make a small party, my last gift was a guitar, I’m always like to have guns and swords as gifts in that days.

My problem is that, I’m looking older than my age, people give me an extra 10 years at least which I find very funny. I have a number of these funny situations which I’m find myself laughing and laughing.

These are my two younger brother and sister, every time I took them me by my car or buy some chocolate for them; people said ربى ايصون انشالله – ايتربو فى عزك , u have a cute children, which I find myself just smiling and say thanks, but inside me I wish to beat them.

In my previous job I attend a meeting with head manger of or company, and he introduce some stupid points which I explained to him it’s wrong and was me only who argue with him, during the argument he asked me, where u were working before Mr B-H, I told him I just graduate last year and this is my first job, directly he asked me what’s ur DOB, I answered, 1977, suddenly he start laughing and told me, walahi I think ur DOB is 1877 not 1977, keep that in ur mind I was in that time just 24.

Now anyone ask my about my age, I replay u can guess, any guesses I’ll agree with him because the most clever one will give an extra 5 years.

My brothers and sisters always telling me that “alhmudullih u r male, because if u r female u will never married” at least I’m lucky from this view.

Any way please, please, don’t cost urself and send any gifts by royal-mail, DHL or TNT, just visiting my page, it’s the big gift for me, but I don’t mind if u send an e-card.

Strange decision

2007-03-06T23:46:00.000Z

yesterday I read news said that, Libya will not allow women less than 40 years to travelling alone, she must travel with Mohrem, it seems Libya every day going back rather going forward, the problem is the Libyan government is not religious government, that is the main reason for me to ask why why why, I cant understand the benefit of this decision, as an individual I wont affect by this decision,

But this gives a clear indication about how Libyan government think, rather they try to solve women problem like divorced problem, high unmarried percent, they try to make it more difficult, what is the different if a woman travel from Benghazi to Tripoli (1000 km) without Mohrem and woman travel from Tripoli to Tunisia (350 km) she must have a Mohrem, it’s totally not logic.

I think Libyan government try to play with religion issue to let the extremes religious groups attack each other in the country, and the victim always the people.

I know there are some groups they don’t allow a woman to go even shopping, and I think Libyan government play a danger game with the religion issues, if they need to implement Islam laws we will be very happy, they must let people go to pray Fajer without fear, prevent the interest banking for working in the country, close the hotels which dirty women work with, not just take a stupid decision has no benefit.

i hate writing

2007-03-04T23:07:00.000Z

walahi guys i'm really suffer these days because of my dissertation, when i started my studies i thought i do engineering master not English Literature master,engineering masters means as i understand using equations, computer systems, numbers any thing related to logic thinking, but my master is totally different, this uni make me crazy ,their system is to write an assignment for each module u attend and each assignment u must write between 4000-5000 words ,do u believe that ,the problem is u r not allowed to write what the others write before,u must understand the subject and write by ur words.

in secondary school my degrees were very good in mathematics ,physics,but they were very poor in arabic language.
i hate writing
even in my job in libya , i was responsible to write weekly report about my department ,but i failed and always the management cut days from my wages cos i didn't write any thing .i'm always telling them if u need any information just ask me i will tell u no need to write.
one day they ask me to write report about one problem, i did in 3 sentence do u believe, seconds after the manger read the report ,he phoned me and cut 3 days from my salary and give me lesson in how to write report.
back to this crazy uni my dissertation must be between 15000-20000 words and i just write 2000 ,i know i still have 6 months to finish, i passed two module now and the module tutor's remarks lie on my language body and how i must extend my writing vocabulary in the subjects in the future ,i told them in the future i will use the sign languages in any study i'll do.
what is ur advice?help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2007-02-24T21:59:00.000Z

I went to London to join a demonstration organized by Stop War Coalition; the aim from this demonstration is calling for no new trident, troops out of Iraq, and no for attacking Iran.

I planed to this demonstration from last week; I took off from my part time job, I shift all my study work to Sunday, but I failed to secure somebody to join me from my friends all of them told me they r busy and if they go the war will not stop. Even the uni failed to secure some student to go we were just five guys.

PERSONALITY analysis

2007-01-19T23:29:00.000Z

كعادته دائما فى مثل هذه الايام من كل عام يقدم
brave heart

حفظه الله ورعاه التهانى الى كافه الرعية بمناسبة السنة الهجرية الجديدة وهذا ان دل على شى انما دل على ايمانه وتمسكه بعرق الصداقه والعطف مع رعيته. ويعلن حفظه الله وادام عزه بان البلوج مفتوح لاستقبال التهانى على مدار الساعه

i was asked by Lebeeya to share my personality analysis with you to comment on it, to be honest i didn't like this analysis ,but any way that is what the computer think.
i read long time ago about the personality, there is an idea said any person has three personality ,the first which he believe who he is ,the second what the people believe who he is,the third one is mixed between the two previous ones which is most likely true.
this the personality analysis:

Brave Heart seems to be a task focused person but someone who likes to be given direction. He will put a lot of energy into achieving the goals that he has been set. He does not show a strong personal competitiveness. He may focus on just getting done the things he is expected to do rather than focus on achieving personal goals. He may not find it easy to balance the need to get results with concern for the people he is working with and he could be perceived as insensitive at times. He may not find it

easy to empathise with other people and could misunderstand their intentions. He does not find it easy to anticipate their reactions or to plan how to avoid conflict.

He may be somewhat suspicious of others and feel that they may not be doing their fair share of the work. He probably works hard himself and is likely to feel annoyance rather than sympathy for people who seem to be always in difficulties and do little to help themselves.

He can become frustrated in a situation where priorities are continually changing. He probably prefers to work within a structured environment where there are clear goals and no surprises. He does not seem to be the kind of person who expects life to be easy. He is probably willing to put up with tough conditions at work and may be effective in a role where the conditions are hard but the difficulties are predictable. Alternatively, he may prefer to work somewhat independently of others rather than in a supervisory role so that he can control his own time and priorities.

Major strengths:

- Tough minded, does not expect life to be easy

- Task focused but not personally competitive

- Energetic and hard working

- Likes clear direction and goals

Possible development needs:

- May be insensitive and tough on others

- May experience stress at times

This questionnaire includes an assessment of 'Image Management'.

The Image Management score suggests that in answering the questions Brave Heart may have presented a more positive image of himself than the average person would do.

now tell me what u think

2007-01-16T08:54:00.000Z

New aspiration

The things changed quickly and suddenly, I was studying in the last 3 month by force, this is my habit I’m always put myself under pressure to do my tasks whatever the task is.

But now I getting to be organized man, and start planning my time in efficient way.

Things changed directly after Saddam hanging ,why I don’t now , since Saddam hanging I’m totally inspired ,but believe me what I did in the last 2 weeks was equal or may be more what I did in the uni last 3 month ,which seems strange for me. After Saddam hanging I did more research about him and about Iraq, I’m not one of Saddam supporter before, but I want to understand how one person can control the fate of the other people, it’s completely unbelievable, if u think carefully u will find that: Saddam was the cause of many people death from everywhere, USA, Iraq, Iran, Saudi, Libya, any country in the world u will find at least one person die because Saddam.

My point is how the fate of one person effect on the fate of other people, it’s my obsession now, I need to understand this strange relationship.

Yesterday I got the result of the first module, Alhmedullih I passed, I handed one last week, and I’ll hand another one next Monday, Alhmedullih thing seems to be good till now, I hope it will be continuous like this till the end.

I passed one job phone interview as well and I’m waiting the last stage of the recruitment process which looks difficult but I‘ll try to do my best.i hope all of u will pray for me.

Another Bad Day

2006-12-30T19:42:00.000Z

i still didn't sleep from friday 9am till now Saturday 8pm ,really i feel like my head will explosion,the reason is not because i celebrate Eid ,but because Saddam executed ,it's really shocked me , how these stupid people can do that in EID day ,these stupid people like Almaliki ,Alrubiai,Alhakim and Alseder gave Saddam a big price they make him a HERO,my points are
1- if Saddam kills 600000 in 35 years ,American troops and shia militias killed 750000 in 4 years 2- if Saddam dead now,who will tell us about the facts for Iran war and Kuwait occupation.
3- what's the benefit for Iraqi people now ,they will benefit nothing
4- Saddam was mean nothing since Baghdad was fallen down in 2003
5-Saddam was killing the people not matter are they Sunni or sheai,or Kurdish ,Saddam was killing just to protect his position as a king of Iraq actually he was more than a king,but now people are killed for any reason just because they are Sunni ,do u believe that if ur name is yazid ,moawia,or marwan this mean you will go to the sky in the first class with Almahdi Army Airlines.
6-Saddam was bad leader he destroyed Iraq,but that doesn't mean the new Iraqi leaders is better than him ,at least Saddam build strong army and control the country,but these new stupid leaders are mixture from thieves and killers.
7- Iraqi people deserve Good Leadership better than Alsistani,Alseder,Talibani and Maliki.
8- my last point is I think nobody can stand up like Saddam did today and he knows that he will die after fiew seconds this shows how this man is strong ,he is really an Iraqi brave heart

May Allah forgive every Muslim and Yarhmna ajmaeen
I hope we will not celebrate any Eid in the future in this way
Eid Mabruk for all

welcome 2007

2006-12-28T22:58:00.000Z

First of all Eid Mubarak for everybody, I hope the New Year will bring new hope for better goals, and peaceful life.

I think 2006 was a quick year I do remember everyday on 06, to be honest in this year there is a big war or fight between brave heart and himself to adopt a new strategy in this crazy life, I did between 80 to 90% of my goals in o6 which it seems good, but my problem I can’t satisfy easily even I reach my goals, it seems I did nothing, that’s what I feel when I obtain my goals. It’s annoying me it makes me crazy.

For 07 the plan is ready, firstly finish my study which will finish in September, secondly I hope to secure a good job directly after finishing the study, I start to fill the application forms and I’m waiting the interviews.

The big challenge for me is how to pull myself out from watching Aljazeera and Alarabiya TV, believe me these two channels make me crazy ,I can’t leave them and when I watch them I feel sick and hate myself ,do you remember the last time when you heard a good news in Aljazeera or Alarbiya.

Plz pray for all Muslims in Iraq , Palestine ,Somalia, and Afghanistan ,may Allah bring fair solutions to them next year.

Really I feel sick

2006-12-18T20:07:00.001Z

I don’t know what’s happen to us ,every day we have disaster ,Iraq, Palestine ,Afghanistan, what happening now in Gaza proof one thing ,we are stupid nation ,and proof that the nation which Allah told us about it is not our current nation ,the nation that kills itself by its hand is not nation ,it is group from selfish and blind people .

What happen in Gaza and Baghdad now make me sick, killing people just because they belong to Sunna or Shiea, Hamas, Fateh. Allah creates us to believe him not to kill each other by his name, these stupid Palestinian who kill each other and forget the real enemy who just stand centimetres behind them and waiting to kill the winner. Plz see this picture and told me what’s ur feeling. I’m really sick. Can you imagine that the prime Minster can’t entry his country, what’s the hell we r living in ,and be4 few years President Arafat was locked in his building for 3 years ,r we Muslims ,I don’t think so.

Awful Application

2006-12-13T23:58:00.000Z

I’m very tired, I think I filled more that 50 application form in last 2 weeks, it’s too hard process, cos every company has its own criteria ,there are some companies u just send an email with cv and covering letter and another u must fill more than 10 pages of lies. My friend Hamza helps me too mush especially he has imagination mind and this sort of questions needs one like him .the most evil questions are those asking u to write about ur skills and how u can benefit a company, and u must write more than 200 words, imagine that 50 application with at least 5 questions with 200 words these mean I must write 50000 words which PHD, since primary school I don’t like writing especially “Alanshaa w altabeer” and now I find myself forced to fill these awful applications. I hope to get at least one chance from these 50 application to start a new career.In Libya the process is completely different; just bring a photocopy from the certificate, photocopy from the id, and after that it depends on ur luck and ur “wastta”.

I remember when I start my career in Libya, it was by wastta.

Ohhhhhhh I must let you now, I have another application to fill. If you have any advice tell me plzzzzzzzz

Believe or not its true

2006-12-04T19:48:00.000Z

Dear friend read this article and tell me what is your feeling
سعودي يكتشف بعد 7 أيام من الزفاف أن عروسه تم تبديلها بأختها

تنظر المحكمة الشرعية في العاصمة السعودية الرياض خلال الأيام القليلة المقبلة، في دعوى رفعها زوج ضد زوجته وعائلتها مطالبا برد مهره البالغ 65 ألف ريال سعودي، وسجن شقيقتها. وتعود أسباب الدعوى لاكتشافه بعد الزواج، أنه اقترن بشقيقة زوجته المفترضة.

ويقول المحامي، مزيد العلوش، الذي يترافع عن الزوج - من مكتب فراج العقلا للمحاماة - إنه نظرا لعادة بعض القبائل بالسعودية التي تمانع أن يرى الخاطب أو الزوج وجه زوجته طيلة حياتها، فضل شاب الاستعانة بوالدته لخطبة إحدى فتيات الأسر المعروفة بتمسكها بتلك العادات.

وقال للعربية.نت: "نظرا لعدم معرفة الأم بعائلة الفتاة، قامت العائلة بعرض فتاتهم الكبرى المتزوجة والتي تتمتع بمواصفات جمالية عالية على الأم، بكونها العروسة، فما أن شاهدتها الأم حتى تمنتها لأبنها الشاب، وتم الزفاف بعد أن قدم العريس لها مهرا يقدر بـ65 ألف ريال، وعندما حضر مأذون الأنكحة وقعت الفتاة الكبرى على موافقتها على الزواج وليكتشف الزوج ووالدته وبعد سبعة أيام من زفافه أن زوجته ماهي إلا أخت الفتاة التي رأتها واستحسنتها كما أنها قامت بتوقيع العقد بدلا منها".

وحاول الزوج بعد ذلك إعادة زوجته إلى منزل عائلتها إلا أنهم رفضوا استلامها خاصة وأنها مكثث لديه 7 أيام بالإضافة إلى أن الفتاة الكبرى التي رآها متزوجة ولديها أطفال.

وتوقع المحامي العلوش أن يأمر القاضي بفسخ العقد نظرا لأنه مبني على باطل وتدليس، مشيرا إلى الألم النفسي الذي أصيبت به العروس خاصة وأنه لم يمض على زواجها أسبوعا.

وقال الزوج "ص,ز" لـ"العربية.نت" إنه تقدم بدعوى للمحكمة بفسخ عقد الزواج وإعادة المهر وسجن ولي أمر زوجته نظرا لاحتيالهم بتزويجه فتاة مختلفة عما أشاروا له بها، بالإضافة إلى أن عروسه ليست جميلة.

وأشار إلى أن والدته لاحظت الاختلاف بين الفتاتين بعد أسبوع من الزفاف وعن طريق عينيها، "حيث أن عادتنا وتقاليدنا تمنع أن يرى أحد وجه زوجته حتى أمي لم أر وجهها للآن، فواجهت عروستي بما عرفت فاعترفت لي بما فعلته أسرتها بتبديلها بأختها الكبرى المتزوجة حتى يتم زواجها خاصة وأنه لم يتقدم لها أحد لخطبتها".

Klam Alnas

2006-11-25T17:43:00.000Z

Today I had chat with my best friend in Libya, as usual we chatted about every thing, we are extremely different, if I’m in the east he is in the west, and if he in the east I’m in the west, but he is the only one can understand me and can predict what I will do in next step which I found it amazing,Reda decide to get married next summer but he has as he see a problem and as I see it’s not problem ,his expected wife still in the second year in the university this mean she still have another two years to finish ,and he can’t wait another two years ,I gave him solution get married next summer and let your wife continuous her study, because its her right to finish study and decide after that if she want to work or no, this was my solution, he told me this solution is the worst solution he can accept .guess why ?

Cos he will be a tutor in the same college and is not accept that he work in the same place where his wife study, I asked why? He told me because people's talking.

Ohhhhhh my god how many time we make weight to the people’s views and it was wrong, how many times we did thing against our believe just to take care about what the people say, “klaam alnas” how many times these two words destroyed our life, why we must care about people views if we believe we do the right thing.

MY LOVE

2006-11-22T22:11:00.000Z

These some pictures of my city, my lover Benghazi, and these pictures were taken by my brother last month when he was in Libya, I think there is strange relationship between any Benghazino (any one from Benghazi) and Benghazi. It likes the relationship between the mother and her children, we as Benghazinos consider Benghazi as our mother, doesn’t matter from where originally you com from “Tripoli, .Misrata, Derna, Tobrock,” I hope you will enjoy these picture and believe me these pictures were taken last moth not last century.

Other pictures were taken in my family city Albidda 200 km in east of benghazi ,and some pictures in SHahett the tourist village just 10 km on the east of Albidda.
you will find big hole on the mountain(the green mountain) this is where AL-mojahedon were fighting Italians.
and there picture from Benghazi Arena ,and the much was between Ahli Benghazi vs Ahli Tripoli

Am I Grandfather?

2006-11-18T23:41:00.000Z

I dont know what happen these days ,i feel like i am older and older ,every thing happen suddenly ,
how i dont know ,but i think this idea started just last month when i started my study ,most of the group were younger than me by 4 or 5 years,most of them are Chinese ,there are very small and they act like children, i'm look like their grand grand father,i used to be the youngest in any group that i join ,secondary school,the university,my firm where i used to work in libya,any event i join usually i'll be the youngest,but now every thing is changed,i'll be 30 after few months and this notion terrify my because i think there are some years were stolen from my life from who i dont know,how they were stolen i dont know,suddenly i realised that there is a big gap from my graduation in 99 till this date when i started my MSc in 06,i worked hard all this years and i did every thing i wish but there isn't anything is tangible,all what i gain is the life experience ,is it enough? i dont think so.

Me , Hamza and Goerge Gallowy

2006-11-08T21:08:00.002Z

today was good day for me ,i met Mr Gallowy in the uni he came to speak about islamophopia in the west ,one of my friends told me that he(gallowy) was in Libya last month which made me crazy cos i thought he has double standards,to be honest i didn't make sure he was in libya or no .
when the quastions starts ,i asked him how you attack arab dictators and in same time you went to visit Qadhafi in his tent ,he looked to me and smiled and told me please make sure about your information ,i didn't visit libya and i won't ,cos i didn't agree with Qadhafi anymore ,he replied.
for me he was the first western politicans i met ,i met some libyan ,but the differnt point between him and them he was clear about his ideas but for libya they all have foggy ideas ,you cannot know which wing he is left or right.
it was good chance for my friend Hamza who just came from libya just two month ago to work as a doctor here in uk,to speak about politcs without fear ,cos in libya we was just talking with fear from everyone even the traffic police.

I am going to libya next month

2005-11-27T01:22:00.000Z

i have a year and have now in England ,but realy i feel it likes a week .
still my English bad .the most important reason to go libya is see my mum .she always asking me when u will come back. since i came here she asked this qustion more than 1000 times.i understand her feeling. i think i miss the sun as welli want some nuture heat.i think i will take a tough decesions on this trip i planning to stay in uk for the coming 2 or 3 years to complete my master degree. some times i feel i lost my way but i can mange at the end.i miss u libya ,i miss u mum ,i miss u benghazi
