I do not understand this

I do not understand this at all, for sure there is some Irony here but it is not a usual thing to hear that they arrested a Neo-Nazi cell in Israel every day

The strangest thing I do not understand is that some members in these cells which according to the police are not few but many and active in Israel ;are Jews !! Yes Israeli Jews from the former Soviet union

Jews and Nazis !! This is something new I do not understand or get easily . I mean I know very well how the Nazis believe towards the Jews and despite all what is said I got a very good idea about the suffering the Jews had been through in the Nazi camps , it is not only the holocaust "I suspect in the number" ,watch Schindlr's list and you will understand what I mean

May be it has something to do with the Aryan race ,do not forget these are Russian immigrants ,do not forget that Russia and the former soviet union countries have their share from the Neo-Nazi groups

I still do not understand how Jews can respect and hail Hitler !!??

May be the ideas of Neo-Nazism of White Aryan Supremacy , homophobic,Islamphobic and racism play a significant role here but I can not get how the anti-Semitism ideas  find its way there and that's why it is so strange and ironic at the same time

The Victim of Rumors

The real victim of the Rumors about the President's life or health is not the Egyptian Economy or national security like what the official media is saying , the real victim of these rumors is Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa

Egyptian Journalist Ibrahim Eissa ,the Chief in editor of El-Dostor is going to stand in front of the court in October for the charges of "Spreading Rumors that affected negatively on the National Economy and Security"

The Charge that if he is found guilty of,he will be jailed for 4 complete years

This is of course beside the court's order on the 13th of September 2007 to jail him with other three Chief in editors and pay a fine for insulting the President and his son , there is an appeal for this court order

It is very astonishing because those who followed El-Dostor carefully  during the time of the rumors will know that it is a false charge

Ibrahim Eissa and El-Dostor did not spread any rumors from any kind and for honesty I did not know the rumor from them and for days they ignored till it became an impossible and unacceptable to ignore it ,when all the country ,when the people outside and inside began to speak about

And even when they spoke about they spoke about it as a rumor that came as a result of certain events , the absence of the President and the emergency situation in one of the military hospital according to the various tales that were spread across the Egyptians. They did not say it was a fact , Eissa did not say that that was the truth

El-Dostor did like any respectable newspaper and discussed the implications of such sudden absence of the President in that critical time in Egypt

The one thing that can be a mistake from their side "according to others not according to me" was that when they published a headline saying Mubarak is suffering from blood circulation shortage that causes faints , still I do not see any mistake in that , already they mentioned their sources which were as far as I remember Foreign Press ,I do not know why this is considered a Taboo , discussing the President's health , is not he a human like the rest of us ???

Ibrahim Eissa did another big mistake also according to others not to me when he wrote in his daily column in the front page of Daily Dostor from Two weeks ago attacking the regime under the title "The Gods do not get Sick" Powerful title , I will try to find and scan it , on that day he did not only attack Mubarak and Son ,but also he attacked Susan Mubarak Whom afterwards directly came out and appeared on Al-Arabiya Channel saying the President was fine and okay , and those who spread rumors should be punished and hold responsibility !!

Since then the official media began its campaign against Ibrahim Eissa and El-Dostor in a very stupid way , till one day we found that the State Security "follows the interior ministry" was demanding the attendance of Eissa to its headquarters and after that the story became uglier and uglier !!

They questioned Eissa about the meaning of his column under the title "Gods do not get sick "

What do you mean by that ??

and Eissa told them boldly

"I mean Gods do not get sick"

During that time all the official press began its war of vengeance from Eissa and his newspaper which used to attack them on weekly basis for their corruption and hypocrisy

The Journalists Syndication stood beside him , yet the high council of Press whose members are appointed by the regime  joined the crusade !!

It turned out that Eissa was the reason behind Egypt's loss of 300 million pounds because of his role in the rumor , it turned out that Foreign investors left Egypt because of him , it turned out that he is the serial killer of El-Maadi !! Seriously speaking they made him as if he was a traitor should be hanged !!

Ok he should be hanged but what about the others who spread the rumors for the sake of the NDP !!??? What about the Chief in editor of the newly daily "Badeel" who let his newspaper published under the headlines that "Mubarak's fake visit to the smart village "

This new newspaper published that the visit Mubarak made to the Smart village in the same week of the rumor was an old visit from two years ago and the ministry of information re-aired it again to prove that he is alive and fine !!

This is what I call spreading rumors , because many Egyptians on that day began to repeat that that was a fake visit , that was a fake visit !!

Still no one touched this chief in editor Mohamed El-Sid Said  , who is by the way working in the Al-Ahram Strategic studies center which follows Al-Ahram newspaper that is owned by the regime !! Hello why there is a discrimination !!??

Dr. Said is going to stand not in front of the court but in front of a discipline council only !!

In the end I want to say that I used to believe that Eissa was Pseudo opposition journalist like Mustafa Bakery , but I was wrong ,Eissa is an honest man

Updates :

• There is another new lawsuit for Ibrahim Eissa ,again for Spreading false rumors about Mubarak's health , oh boy this is so disgusting
• Al-Ahram is so happy , half page for the court's order yesterday !!

Bad days for Press Freedom in Egypt

The Egyptian Independent Press is living its worst days nowadays .

First yesterday ,according to the General attorney the Chief in editor

of  daily Newspaper "El-Dostor" "Ibrahim Eissa" is going to stand in  front of the court next October for the Charge of

"Spreading rumors that affected the National security and Economy"

A charge that can send "Eissa" to Jail for complete four years !! Of course with threats to close the Independent successful newspaper

It was not enough for some as today the court ruled to send four chief in editors of four independent newspapers to jail for a complete year with a fine of 20,000 E.P ,if they want to appeal then they have to pay immediately 10,000 E.P !!

insulting President Mubarak ,his son and the NDP !!

Those four chief in editors are :

• Ibrahim Eissa of Daily El-Dostor , again !!
• Wael El-Ibrahasi of weekly Sawt El-Oma
• Abd El-Halim Kandeel ,ex-chief in Editor of weekly El-Karma
• Adel Hamouda of weekly El-Fagr

Both Daily El-Dostor and Sawt El-Oma are published by the same  independent publisher "Essam Fahmy" { The brother of our Current Ambassador to the U.S and the son of our late foreign minister Ismail Fahmy }

Both Newspapers are considered the best selling daily and weekly newspapers

El-Karma is the a weekly Nasserite newspaper published by the Nasserite party "El-Karma" headed by the MP "Hamdeen Sabhy "

El-Fagr is an independent newspaper published by business Man "Nassif Kazman" , "Gamal Marwan's" partner in Melody company

This came today , bad news in the first day of Ramadan , the blessing of another black September , the autumn of anger has returned folks

It turned out that two NDP members had made a case in the court against the four chief in editors accusing them of the following :

• Insulting the President of the State Hosni Mubarak and his son Gamal Mubarak
• Attacking and spreading rumors about the National Democratic ruling party

I do not know but I feel the witch hunt against the free Press in Egypt began its season , just before the big changes in the NDP take place !!

This is not the first time El-Abrashi or Eissa to be accused and stand in front of the court for that reason ,insulting the President

The new thing in the whole matter is including someone like Adel Hamouda ,whom I consider to be from the regime's men , the pseudo opposition like Mustafa Bakery

I am not surprised by the other three because of the following

- Abd El-Halim Kandeel is the spokesperson of Kafya , a Nasserite and well known opposition figure to the regime , already that man from couple of years was abducted, was hit and was left totally naked in the middle of No where in the desert in Ramadan and till now those who did it were not arrested !! He is a very hardcore opposition figure , a serious one

-Wael El-Ibrahasi , he does not write in the same way like Kandeel or Eissa does , in a less attacking tune , but he exposed in his newspaper and his very successful popular weekly TV show the corruption and the scandals of the NDP members , well in my opinion he is much more dangerous to the NDP as he made it appear as one big gang of thieves , of course not to mention the four constant pages in the newspapers about the scandals of torture in the Egyptian police station

-Ibrahim Eissa , the biggest pain in the regime big a$$ , seriously Al-Abrashi is a diplomat in his writings ,Kandeel is an old fashion Nasserite in his writings where as this chubby man does not have boundaries to stop him for attacking Mubarak ,his sons and his wife , describing Mubarak as the Tyranny and the Moses' Pharaoh of his time ,attacking the government and the regime , exposing the plans of GM in the NDP

Eissa in his daily column almost everyday must attack Mubarak , in fact there is no day without attacking him and his regime whether in the daily or the weekly edition of El-Dostor on Wednesday where not only Mubarak is under fire ,but his regime and his men in the official media and that's why all the official media from TV and newspapers are very happy that he is going to be sent to jail

It is not the end for sure like some think , this is just the beginning , I have to go now because the IFtar is few minutes away

Wait for more coverage

I feel so angry, this is the first day of Ramadan

Updates: The Egyptian Journalists syndication issued an official statement I got it now

Of course it is in Arabic and I got no brain to translate except the bottom line

The Syndication is refusing this court order

They consider it as bad day for the Freedom of Press and Freedom of expression and they will not stand and do nothing , they will resist this aggression calling all those free people to stand beside them

There will be an emergency meeting for the council of the Syndication next Sunday the 16ht of September in Cairo to discuss the way they can fight back this court order

Well I know that if My grand dad were alive , he would be attending this meeting

And Nour will stay in Jail for a long time

Ayman Nour will stay in jail for a long time as it seems , some one does not know want him back free to the political arena very soon. Just from couple of days , a key witness in Ayman Nour's case , the primary eye witness who sent him by his testimony to jail was found dead in his cell at prison

The interior ministry said that he committed Suicide , that is the official statement the government is promoting

Before we go to any details ,I think I told you before there is a gap between the people and the regime in Egypt and that we do not believe easily their official statements especially when it concern political opponents and leaders with popularity like Ayman Nour and MB

As soon as it was announced on the net that Ayman Ismail ,the key eye witness was found dead in his cell as a result of suicide ,the Internet was full of conspiracy theories . Well actually it is one logical conspiracy theory that the regime got rid from Ismail

Why is it a logical conspiracy theory ??

For those reasons

• Ayman Ismail's testimony was the one which sent him behind bars
• Ayman Ismail wanted to change his testimony in the favor of Nour in the last months but the court refused to include the new testimony that could have proved the innocence of Nour in the case since last August
• The fact that he is a Muslim and Muslim people do not usually commit suicide ,as the suicide is a sin in Islam ,huge sin who does it will stay forever in Hell and is considered as infidel, the thing that his family denied so much
• The fact that late Ismail was staying the execution section in jail , yes , despite he was only staying in Jail for 5 years , he was put in the execution section with those who are going to be executed wearing the same red suite like them , of course you can imagine how he felt ,still there was hope
• Why staying in the execution section in jail is so significant well according to reports the  cells in this section are emptied from all the substances and materials the inmates can use to end their lives by themselves so how Ismail who was only going to stay 5 years succeeded !!
• According to his inmates in the cell ,he was not complaining from anything despite the harassments from other inmates , he watched the TV with them , then they went to sleep , when they woke up they found him hanged in the cell , they are three by the way
• Those three were sleeping and did not feel anything or any noise or move would make in a cell I do not think is too big  that they could hear or feel anything
• The way the police said that he had hanged himself with is not logical to me ,first of all there are two versions , one says that he killed him by the sheets of his bed and another one say that he killed him by his clothes not to mention that the window that supposedly he tied that cloth in as rope is only 170 cm high where as Ismail is 172 Cm tall which according to Ayman Nour himself is impossible possible to conceive the possibility of strangling, which causes a fracture in the neck vertebra due to the equivalence of the body weight to the energy of the fall "scientific proof" !!

Ayman Nour and the family of Ismail believe and are saying that he was slaughtered to make him shut up forever

of course these are the reasons that make you think twice before buying the official stories , still they are not the reasons that made many people believe that Ismail was slaughtered

The main reason is that most people know that regime wants Ayman Nour to stay the longest possible time behind the bars to secure the way for Gamal Mubarak to rule

Ayman Nour is a very powerful competitor , has a popularity that  went up after his prison as people began to see him as a victim for cruel regime that does not want any rivals or competitors from any kind

The West likes Nour ,he is liberal ,moderate and secular , also he is a civilian who is respected by many sectors in Egypt and it is enough to know about the pressures from outside to release Nour to be sure that he is respected from abroad

The court refused to release Nour in last August for medical conditions ,as he is suffering from diabetes ,in regular conditions that would be an easy thing but he suffered a lot whether from his legs or eyes or his hearts

If you understand how critical those next 6 months are for GM ,you will know why Nour and also the rest of MB members are in jails now and they will not be released except after long time

After Lebanon , Now it is Kuwait

Do you remember when all of the sudden the Arab world last year 2006 found itself in front of a storm coming from Lebanon that is the rise of the LGBT rights group there !!?? Do you remember the rainbow rally and the press conference in Beirut ?? Not to mention the various gay blogs and the endless press coverage for quite sometime , of course online Press

Well be ready because the Next LGBT in the Arab world is coming from Kuwait

Oh yes Kuwait

The homosexuals in Kuwait want a legal protection under the Kuwaiti laws especially for the transgenders as the Kuwaiti law prohibits the transgenders operations

The homosexuals in Kuwait already according to the Kuwaiti El-Nahr newspaper had requested the social Services ministry's permission to have their own LGBT rights group

This is not a surprise to me because Homosexuality is well known in Kuwait and it is something most Arabs know ,by the way here I am not attacking Kuwait heavens forbid ,it is not an attack it is something well known and everyone is speaking about it lately with the spread of the Internet and media 

It is used to be in the closet taboo , always brought up when some Kuwaiti attacks Egypt , in my Arabic blog I received similar comments about this ,yes Egypt has its gays and Lesbians in the closet but not in public like in Kuwait

It was a common thing last year to find the Lebanese and Gulf women and lifestyle magazines speaking about the gay men who go to the women beauty centers , it was a common thing in the Arabic forums and newsgroups to find the photos for Kuwaiti gays busted or had seen here of there

Yet no one dared to speak about it publicly except when the problem of the "Tomboys" or the "Boyait" in Arabic began to surface,it seems that there is huge attack of Tomboys in the Kuwaitis girls high schools ,that attack included direct sexual harassments to the normal girls

here is a misunderstanding in the use of the word I believe because not all the "Tomboys" girls are lesbians where as according to what the Kuwaitis and Gulf press are reporting for months these girls are lesbians who go after other girls 

It is a huge problem and many parents complained from especially after several sexual harassment incidents took place

in A very direct and rare move the Kuwaiti government funded a special campaign to fight back this phenomena with 2 million dollars , it is not in one or two high schools , as the researchers estimated the numbers of the Kuwaiti Tomboys by thousands only in the schools , it is very scary, is n't it!!

Not to mention I do not know how they fight it back !!??

Yet as I said it is not a surprise , the Lesbianism in Kuwait is a very well known problem ,it is just came out of the closet ,it was always there,yet no one dared to discuss it along with homosexuality in the case of men

Strangely Kuwait has a very strong parliament which discusses everything still they have never opened this taboo , in fact now they are suffering from the Tomboys and drag queens , a typical modern Arabic act

I do not know if the LGBT in Kuwait will have their own rainbow rally one day or not , if you ask me I do not want them , because it will be a very dangerous dramatic change to our believes "well I am a liberal in something and a conservative in other things"

Ramadan Kareem

Ramadan Kareem to all my dear friends , the grand Mufti of the Egyptian state has just announced that Ramadan will start in Egypt on next Thursday 13/9/2007

Happy Ramadan to all Muslims

Some thoughts about Bin Laden's latest video

I have just seen the complete latest video for Bin Laden his big message to the American people in the anniversary of 9/11

and certain things made think for some time

and  I do not know but is n't his nose suddenly became bigger in that  video or I am just imagining things ??!! "just look to the nose in the picture at the right then in the video and you will understand what I mean"

There is difference in that part of the face and it is not that he regained his health

updated: I am not the only one thank God who noticed this ,here is an American conspiracy theory website which noticed this point too ,I do not have any relation with it nor did I visit it before writing those lines

Of course this is beside his voice , there is something wrong about his voice

Also  the video freezes two times one till the end and surprisingly I found another one who was interested like me in that point

The beard , the new dyed beard , so black , I do not understand the man left it to gray naturally for years ,why now he decided to change the color

I am sorry but I think that this video is faked , made by Bush's administration to justify the existence of the American army in Iraq , to attack the democrats showing them as weak and disrespected even by America's worst enemy and of course attacking the heart of the American civilization a.k.a capitalism and the big companies in a perfect timing ,the anniversary of 9/11

These videos of Bin Laden and Ayman El-Zowahary I believe some of them are faked and released in time when Bush needs to raise his popularity playing by the natural Americans' fears and feelings

You know I feel that the game of Bin Laden can used in the presidential elections 2008 , for example I will not be surprised if another So-called Bin Laden Impersonator comes and says "Obama remember your Islamic roots, you are a Muslim"

or "Giuliani we hate you and that's why we destroyed the WTC because of you and what you represent "

and Yes I have my doubts and theories about 9/11
