يا ثورة الأرض التقت بثورة السماء

A truly beautiful poem by Nizar Qabbani. (Arabic)
I am told that op-ed writers will contribute their honoraria to the same fund. Another good reason to subscribe?

Already did, check to be handed in on Sunday and my first sub issue should come to my door every morning thereafter.. maybe cancelling Al-Wasat in the process!
Two nice articles to read, first from the independent, and the other written by Saleem Al-Hus, x-prime minister.

Forgot the wahabees!
جاء ÙÂÙŠÙÂتوى أصدرها الشيخ السعوديعبد الله بنجبرينأنه “لا يجوز نصرة هذا الØÂزب الراÙÂضي(ÙÂيإشارة إلى ØÂزب الله) ولا يجوز الانضواء تØÂت إمرتهم ولا يجوز الدعاء لهم بالنصر والتمكين، ونصيØÂتنا لأهل السنة أنيتبرؤوا منهم وأنيخذلوا منينضموا إليهم وأنيبينوا عداوتهم للإسلام والمسلمينوضررهم قديماً ÙˆØÂديثاً على أهل السنة، ÙÂإنالراÙÂضة دائماً يضمرونالعداء لأهل السنة ويØÂاولونبقدر الاستطاعة إظهار عيوب أهل السنة والطعنÙÂيهم والمكر بهم، وإذا كانكذلك ÙÂإنكل منوالاهم دخل ÙÂÙŠØÂكمهم لقول الله تعالى {وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهÙÂمْ Ù…ÙÂنْكÙÂمْ ÙÂَإنَّه٠مÙÂنْهÙÂÙ…}”.
That’s all they’re good for.. “we’ve got the exclusive rite to Islam and Heaven.” And at a time like this?
Fine, you can have your version of both and stuff it up your ass for all I care bin Jibreen.
On the other hand, some Wahhabis had a different opinion from the Wahhabi clerical establishment:

Typical, riding on the coat-tails as now their star is waning. Is this Al-Qaeda’s swan song? Now that people have found others who they seem to have adopted as the “real” leaders and fighters for Arab/Muslim honour, something that could never have been attributed to bin Laden & Co.?
<Spelling Nazi>
Should be “exclusive right”

Nope, and (as a punctuation Nazi, you forgot the ending semi-colon, silly boy!)
A thought: war on Lebanon, international campaign, outrage, and help flying in from everywhere.
What about Palestine?
What about Iraq?
This is a stupid and ugly war (all of them are!)! Why is Israel killing hundred’s of inocent people in the capital of Lebanon or Tiro, when the terrorists are in the border? Leave the children’s alone!!! Army against army, not army against civilians! A war is between armys!
