SCENES FROM OUR WORLD TODAY .....



Of course Allah , God or Elohim , are willing it all , whether in our past or actual world , whatever is taking place and happening all over, good , bad or ugly . Subsequently all performers and perpetrators are not at a real fault , and should  not share any guilt feeling , as well as their victims of all religions and their different ways . It's all godly directed and orchestrated . Only unbelievers are the total losers , as there's no place for them in this world nor the next one .


Now the obvious question that jumps to mind would be ; " Let's assume that all factions of jihadi Musslems , manage to come together and form one unified negotiating team at the table , bargaining for a truce with the other side of the world , I'm grouping here AlQaida , ISIL , AlNusra and their sisters and cousins , Taliban and Boko Haram , even some of the militant Shiite groups and factions , an unimaginable scenario , only possible for the sake of argument . They all come together and propose an indefinite or long truce , with the "us" side of the world , peace against recognition .


Provided the world community recognizes and accept to live with their areas of influence and governance , mostly in parts of Iraq , Syria and Lebanon , and as well to parts of Libya , Yemen , Central and East-Africa , Afghanistan , Pakistan , Somalia , Algeria , Tunis and the Maghreb , Sinai and some of the ex Soviet Union , and maybe more , where the Jihadies are practically in control of the territories and their people , I have to mention here ,that Israel has been doing exactly this for more than 60 years with the world's full acceptance and recognition , an excellent example and mentor to all .


Can we accept such a negotiated truce ? and maybe learn how to live with it in peace , while watching young brutal Jihadies establish their own theocracy , Ummah , caliphate or whatever they agree upon , could we really accept such a scenario a la Israeli model , or not , and why yes or no !!!  they claim and swear that their god promised them the lands as well . Maybe it's a question we should all start contemplating more seriously than it appears .


Many , if not most of us  from all sides and walks of life are , either totally silent about these issues ,  living a tacit blind folded life , or obvious and clear about defending these entities , at any price, even if not so very convinced , we surely live in a world where archaic beliefs , and thousands years old convictions and covenants are still shaping a major part of our lives . Definitely  We are not as smart and mature as we like to believe ourselves to be .


Thank you all for reading , thinking about and considering the issues  , and spreading the word .

WEIRD & INCOMPREHENSIBLE LOGIC .....



Few days back , Jack , an American friend , sent me an article untitled  "The facts shoot holes in Obama's claim that U.S. is only host to mass killings " by a columnist for Fox News . In a nutshell the article describes how Americans were stunned by Obama's false claims about gun violence in America , when he stated after the last CA shootings that this just doesn't happen in other countries .


The writer goes on describing one by one , all recorded similar attacks to ours that took place in the last couple decades in central Europe , Scandinavia , the Balkans , Russia and elsewhere . The main aim of this article wasn't  to pinpoint or dispute the accuracy of the statement , but it was striving hard to show and stress the point , that other countries , with tighter gun control laws suffer as well from gun violence . As well to mock the president by implying that poor us here in the U.S. don't have enough guns available to adequately protect ourselves .


Let me answer briefly . First ; Thanks Jack , I will go this afternoon and buy myself an extra gun and an undetected army machine-gun , so as to sleep better and safer tonight . second ; Are we seriously striving to reach back in time , and relive our beloved old Western Cowboys movies , with their famous scenes of holsters and guns hanging by their sides , ready to draw while going from town to town and from saloon to gun shop , whereby the fastest drawer lives in eternal harmony , peace and fraternity .


This article , like many of the same type and spirit , and the last few years of U.S. politics , and the extreme right conservative re-awakening , proves that a good deal of Americans hate their president , far more than love their country and fellow Americans , they only care to prove that Mr. Obama's ideas and policies are flawed , and that he is talking nonsense while enforcing his policies of gun control or medicare , and other social issues , they hate his guts .


All fanaticism is political in its essence , and lately religious fanaticism is no different , its vengeance against all civilized societies is more of a political nature , when we succumb to fear and isolation , to panic and killings of everyone who is not like us , or strictly conforming to our views and ways , when we back presidential hopefuls in their disturbing calls , we only prepare ourselves for more brutality , more shooting of innocent people , Arabs , immigrants , visitors or citizens , Musslems or Jews , Sikh or Hindus , Atheist , gays or lesbians , yellow , black or red ..... so we can happily regain our lost purity and  harmony with our guns .


Some city Mayors are asking their citizens to arm themselves , and some university presidents are asking their students to carry guns !!! Have we reached the point whereby we're striving to reach and accomplish this base sort of scenario in our daily lives ?? And make our existence with guns an end in itself ???


As always , thanks for reading and help spread the word .

RELATED STORIES ........



1-- Any entity , country , their leaders and rulers , when their power , wealth or sheer force grows significantly , would eventually spread themselves , and inevitably try to subvert their weaker neighbors , always under headings of self-preservation to which morality , fairness and equilibrium are irrelevant .  This is nowadays the case , clearly witnessed , of the three major theocracies in the Middle-East ; Sunni Saudi Arabia , Jewish Zionist Israel , and Shiite Iran .


2-- Many Lebanese individuals lately , after the twin bombings of one of Beirut's suburb , were complaining bitterly that Western in general , and more so American medias did not give them their fair dues on their pages and screens and their radio reports , at least in comparison to the Paris bombings few days later .
Few days earlier Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington for an official state visit , where he was the guest of the White House and many other Jewish political organizations , whether intentionally or not , the visit was the least covered by American media , the least mentioned and talked about of any Israeli visits , especially Mr. Netanyahu's last few flamboyant visits .
Who orchestrate such media coverages , and how much coverage  certain news should get , at least in countries were the media is considered  free and independent , who gives the sign of more , or less coverage about any story or political event , involving local or international events ??


3-- One would be surprised , that the United States and the Western world , champions of human rights in all poor and weak third world countries , did not ever for the past 70 years , and presently do not mention at least once the word of human rights abuse toward Israel and its under occupation territories and peoples , its brutality , apartheid regime and evident hegemonic plans . Is the world and more so the West including the U.S. so scared and blinded by this entity and its Neocons brutal leaders ? Many Israeli columnists have strongly criticized the present heading of the Israeli politics , while not one politician or reporter here in the States dares even mention it .
Who was it that said ;" We live in a wondrous time , in which the strong is weak because of his scruples , and the brutal is strong because of his boldness and aggressivity ." Many in the Middle-East  share these traits though .


4-- Listening to Mr. Netanyahu lately , and some of his closest allies , members of his cabinet , who are openly stating , that the aim is to annex the occupied West-Bank territories , and the occupied Golan heights , expelling the remainder of their original  inhabitants . Gaza , the south of Lebanon and the Sinai peninsula would be next .
While their is no real immediate or serious connection between Palestinian youths and Islamist extremism and terrorism , if the under occupation territories are not dealt with seriously by the international community and the U.S. and given some sort of real viable independence , we will see hundreds of thousands of young Palestinian join the likes of ISIL , Al Qaida and their sisters , and literally spill over from Israel to the entire world , mostly our world though . 


As always , my many thanks for your time and help , spreading the word .
