Peace and blessing be upon youHello EverybodyToday is day 19 since Israel had assaulted Lebanon on July, 12th, 2006. This day is different because Israel had committed a new massacre in Qana where 57 innocent civilians were killed according to the BBC.
I want to say that what had happened really suites the mentalities which is rolling Israel since 1948 until today as I'd described the in the previous two posts; therefore I'm not willing to discuss it any more.
Today, I'm just a messenger; I'm carrying a message from this little girl; I'll call her Nur. Nur in the Arabic language = Light in English. Nur had told me something even if we didn't - and will not ever - meet on this planet; Nur said:She: Salam, HichamMe: Salam, Nur. Me: I don't know what to sayShe: Don't be sad dear; I'm not the first, and I'll not be the last. This is the reality of this state.Me: I know and I'd mentioned this before, but still don't know what to say.She: Do you know what happened?Me: No, you tell me.She: I was sleeping in the basement of a house with my family, and an "intelligent missile" hit the house and killed us for no particular reason except the deep hate those people feel against us. They are twisting the truth, forget that they are occupying forces anganist resistance, and still find the support from the world.Me: Did you feel anything?She: I was just sleeping beside my brother, my sister, father and mother. Suddenly, I find this man holding me. Actually, he's holding my dead body which had left this planet without any sorrow. My soul is free; my country will be always free despite of what's happening now. Finally I shall meet my family in Heaven, and this is the real happiness.Me: You are totally right.She: Before leaving Earth to Heaven, I want to mention something: We will always be free. The real losers are the Israeli people on the long run as you mentioned before. Let them twist the truth, let their friends + supporters use the "veto" and say "Israel has the right to defend herself". Let the world watch without making any real progress. Let the supporters legitimate the actions in the name of "Self Defense". Let them find the courage to sleep in the night, and kill from behind. Let them say whatever they want to say, but you should know that we'll always be free, as much as everyone performs his role in the right way.Me: You are totally right. Are you leaving now?She: Yes, and I want to say one last thing before leaving: Poor humans! Who didn't discover the light inside yourself yet.
Any listeners? Any one who understand? I'm leaving. SalamSalam, May ALLAH bless your soul

Peace and blessings be upon youHello EverybodyNo,
this post is not discussing the famous 1982 Pink Floyd's album; rather it is discussing the current Israeli assault against Lebanon, which is approaching its second week (14 days!).
1. IntroFirst of all, if you didn't read my previous post yet, please take few minutes to read it as the current one is build over it and I hate duplicating the words.
For those who had read the previous one; you will find some duplication of words because some of my comments shall be mentioned again but this time in a separate post. 2. OverviewOkay, let us start I intended to describe what Israel is doing with the world "assault" instead of the common word "offensive" which is widely used via the majority of news agencies; because what is happening in Lebanon can't be described as offensive only; it's rather a complete assault against a country which is a member in the U.N. since 24th of October, 1945 while Israel is a member of U.N. since 11th May, 1949. [ source = U.N. ]Israel – with total support from its colleges worldwide – is twisting the truth, and wants people to forget that they are occupation forces. Yet Israel was declared as a state on 15th May, 1948. Such declaration came as the according to The Balfour Declaration signed on 2nd November 1917. Later Israel became member of U.N. on 11th May, 1949 (one year after declaration of the state).I'm not willing to discuss the history or the political situation in this post. However, I just want to mention the dates because history is a good starting point. Talking about history, since the declaration of Israel as state until now, the successive Israeli governments was to shape the world opinion to support Israel against Arab, because they – Arab - are "terrorists" who want to destroy Israel. Very funny how the Zionists twist the truth and want people to forget that they are occupying Arab lands specially after 1967.Okay, a worldwide fact stats that Israel is a member state in the U.N., but what did this country – represented in their leaders – offer to the word except killing civilians in Palestine and Lebanon with its arsenal, killing children and women via their warplanes, destroying cultivated lands with bulldozers and abusing prisoners of war inside its jails and finally, destroying the entire infra structure of a U.N. state member – Lebanon – in the name of Self defending.When resistance reply, the Israeli say they are terrorists, and should be blamed! So funny how occupation force is talking against the legal resistance forces and world is just watching and legitimating the actions. Legitimating actions is not only by directly supporting the Israeli statements, but I consider people who are listening to one side only – Israel – and ignore the other side of the problem – Arab not only Lebanese, I think they are making the situation worries. At least, the 1st team is clear.Sorry people! Killing the innocent people in this brutal way is not a self-defense action at all. It's barbaric action, which can not be legitimated under any mean or within any mind that really care about humanity.In the World War II, Jewish had been abused via the Holocaust. This is a historic fact not deny. It was illigal acts aganist innocent people (Jewish + others) who were killed for no particular reason except the hate!As mentioned in the previous post, I understand well the difference between Jew and Zionist. Thereby, I don't have this stereotype image that many people have against Muslims when they say Muslim = Terrorist.For god sake, how can world describe the Israeli actions? Self-Defending. You may have watched the photos of the current attacks against civilians in Lebanon – and same against civilians in Palestine, which is a real holocaust. What is happening now had happened before: in Sabra and Shatila (1982) +
Qana (1996),
and the world is still watching. Before them, in 1970, the Israeli Air forces had bombed a school of kids in Egypt called (Bahr el-Bakar) and world is watching.
Same Mentaities that do not care about any other races except themselves since 1948 untill now, and still no one can dare to raise a voice aganist them because they don't want to look for the situation from all perspectives.3 Light through DarkThe U.N. had been established for the welfare of humanity after the stupid actions of Word War II, but unfortunately, when governments don't care about people injustice will reveal as we see today in many places worldwide.As I mentioned in a previous issue of I-MAG,
I believe that U.N. is still a good place to be a real meeting point for countries to co-operate, not for countries to fight!
If you check my profile,
you'll find me mentioning that I believe – and always belive – that we must co-operate to the welfare of humanity, and to spend our efforts in building not in creating another ruins on this planet.4. To the Israeli NationYou didn't proof anything yet except supporting the killing of the innocent people. Your actions + your words since 1948 until now is telling so. The wall which you are building to separate yourself from the other's is not only placed physically on the ground in Palestine; rather it's placed in your minds because you do not want to listen, apply force, see situations only from your perspectives and let the others burn.If you are really looking for peace, try to destroy the wall, as the Germans did in Berlin 1989, and try to find the way to communicate + respect the others. It doesn't matter wither you are an Oxford or Harvard graduate if you can not see what human life means, or respect the other races.
In fact, you are loosing on both: the short run and the long run; loosing peace, hiding behind the wall of fear which you had created by your hands. In fact, you are loosing everything.
5. Final WordsHuman Rights means that every one has the right to live in peace on this planet, not matter what the colour, race, and faith. Thereby, they should be placed in actions among all countries, not only to be printed over some papers and became a document (ref 123/xyz) in the U.N. archive.
On the other hand, it's very important not to judge people according to their races or their faith; rather judge them according to their words + actions. That what Islam taught us, as the final message from ALLAH (swt) to Mankind. That's why Islam is not accepting terrorism; simply because it came as mercy for Mankind for only who want to listen. In parallel, if you are not Muslim, Islam respects you. Human Rights was placed within Islam since 622. A.D. via prophet Muhammed (pbuh) whom were insulted before because of some people who do not understand / do not want to understand the others well.Neither me nor you can really judge the others' intentions; rather our Lord, ALLAH (swt) is the ONLY ONE who shall judge everybody at the Judgment day according to the whole package: Intentions + Actions + Words, because HE (swt) is GOD. Those meanings were discussed in details various issues of I-MAG Magazine before.
We are not ALLAH (swt), We are not the Creator of the World
We are neither Angles nor Devils; we are just Humans
Humans = subjected to do the right and the Wrong all the time
Shall we hear and understand?
Shall everybody worldwide try to improve the situation?
Say No and Protest. Go a head; Write, and resist.
Help the refugees. Aid the people as much as you can.
Work for Humanity when you performe your role as human
If you can not do anything from this
At least: supplicate for the Creator.
Work = Think globally + Act Locally

Peace and blessings be upon youHello Everybody1st of all, I want to apologies for everyone who might read this long post, because it is the first one after being back to my blog. It's long one so forgive me. Let's start this long post.
Intro"Vee, Voo, Vam." Those are the daily sounds people used to hear in ME since June 2006.The SituationWhile the world was busy following the fair battles on the green pitch to know who'll win the 2006 Word Cup, In Palestine, Israeli forces launched another unfair battle on the 28th of June 2006, which took place this time on the red pitch of civilians blood who were killed during an operation on Gazza Strip called "Operation Summer Rain".Two weeks later in Lebanon, on the 12th of July 2006, the Israeli forces launched a second military operation called "Operation Just Reward" which became later "Operation Change of Direction" in respond to an operation executed by Hizb allah (Hizbollah) called "Operation True Promise".I know that the world opinion says that the both operations from Israel are considered as "Self-Defense" against the terrorist attacks. Well, my reply for this is one word: "How funny when people convert + twist the truth".The international community used to talk about human rights, and how should all countries respect them, but when it came to this country which is not more than an Occupation Force since 1948, World can not raise any voice.It's very strange how people convert the situations and legitimates the actions of an occupation force in the name of Human rights, while when that occupation force uses their Air Force + Navy Forces to bomb Beirut's infra structure and to kill civilians, no one can raise a voice because they are "defending themselves".I'll assume they have this right – even if they are occupation forces – whey are they destroying the Infra Structure of Lebanon and apply a complete siege over Lebanon? Why destroying Beirut International Airport which carry the name "Rafik Hariry International Airport", Rafik whom had been assassinated. Why bombing civilians in Palestine and Lebanon including women and children?Call it revenge, call it dark souls, call it minds that don't have any kind of respect to another human race except themselves. Call it whatever you want to call; as this suites most of the Israeli governments since 1948 untill now.As I always say, no one likes violence. We – as Arab and Muslims – understand well the difference between terrorism and resistance. No one accept terrorism because it's forbidden by default according to the Islamic taught. However, when it came to resist an occupation force, things are different.I want to highlight again that civilians should always be out of the war actions.
On the other hand, Islam had guarantee how to deal with "prisoners of war" and how to respect them and not to hurt them, because at last they are human beings created by one and only one, the creator, ALLAH (swt), even if they are not following Islam.Don't tell me look what al-Qaeda or Zarkawi had done with prisoners, because this is not from Islam and those kind of people are not representing the real Islam at all.On the other hand, we understand well the difference between a Jew, and a Zionist. We don't have this misconception which most of people have against Muslims when they say Muslim = Terrorist.Light through the DarkI don’t see a single solution for the current situation. As I always write in I-MAG, the International Organization which was raised for the welfare of the world after World War II, called U.N. must play a real role in the Arab-Israeli conflict.Israel should understand that Arab is not accepting what they are doing with killing the civilians in the name of self defending.In the same time, we don't want war. That's why we presented a "Peace Initiative" @ 2002 via Saudi Arabia to reach a state of peace, but Israel doesn't want to listen. They are talking about disarming the resistance, and want people to forget that they are occupation force for the Arab land in Palestine + Syria + Lebanon.Thereby, I can't blame a resistance for fighting any occupation force in any country within any Era. If the current situation of world was revealing during the World War II, I think Charles de Gaulle would have been accused of being terrorist!The SolutionThe international community – represented in the UN – didn't take the right steps to stop the barbarian attacks and make a way to exchange prisoners among the two sides untill now. That's a short term solution, because I still believe in the power of UN as I'd mentiond in I-MAG before.A long term solution is to find a way to execute a real peace in ME, including the Iraqi situation, An urgent and real action plan that serves all nations in ME should be placed or else, I think we'll found ourselves in a situation worries than now.FinallyTo Lebanon + Palestine + Iraq + Arab: Don't let riot found its way to reveal. Supporting the Palestinian + Lebanese nation is a must to re-build what had been destroyed in the 3 comtries.To the Israeli Nation: If you want real peace, proof it! Proof it in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. It doesn't matter to be a Harvard or Oxford graduate if you didn't know how to respect the others.The darkest moments are those just before the dawn comes

Hello EverybodyYes, It's me and I'm back to my blog after 3 months + 11 days of being away from my small virtual corner @ Planet Earth.
The past period was a transitional one in my life, specially the career one, and al-hamdu llillah (thank GOD), it pass in a quiet way.I wan not able to be online because of hard work, which didn't gave me any spare time to be online to write anything. Al-hamdu lliah for everything.As I always say, as much as man takes care of ALLAH (swt), asking him help, and do his role in life, ALLAH (swt) will reward all his work.
You can not imagine how strange and un-expected situations I found myself in within the past periode, and al-hamdu llilah everything passed in a quiet smooth way.Anyway, let me stop talking about personal stuff.
Let us go back to some useful posts, or at least something not personal.
I'll be updating my blog from time to time, but not every day yet.
I just want to say hello for everybody who'd asked about me
I wish everybody all the best in everything, and keep on good work.
See you next post, incha'allah
