The Award

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

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?

Suheir Hammad

check this clip guys, i haven't any description for her words,she is amazing

أحلى كاميرا خفيه على الإطلاق

Sallam guys, i hope Rammadn is going well with u, personally i enjoy bab alhara2 and the different food staff. these are random pictures from Benghazi and wadi alkof where cidi Omer Almokhtar were fighting against italy, wadi alkof bridge was the highest bridge in the world in the sixties

My Observations

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

God's Warriors

i came across this programm throyugh Entropy blog, so thank too much Entropy for grabing my attention to this. well this program is very good one, it give insight about the extreem people in the 3 main religions islam -joish -Christian. i think it published be4 in Alarabiya Channel but i'm not sure,i advice u to take a look on it,i think it will be usful.

Now if Libyan airlines tries to do good job Tomorrow and keeps thier time table fixed without any delay, if that happen i'll be in Benghazi AT 6 PM, I'll arrive Tripoli at 3 pm and fly to Benghazi at 5 pm.welcome benghazi and welcome Rammadan

Finally: The Freedom

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

Acknowledgement

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"وما اوتيتم من العلم الا قليلا"

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.

Do not ask why, it is very complicated

Second generation Issue

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?

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?

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.
