Ramdan’s Arabian Nights : King Luqman And Salama’s Tale "Ep.8"

Here is the 8th night from our Arabian nights or to be accurate our 10th night.

First, you can refresh your memory with the last night's episode. 

We are still with Salama for the 7th night in a row. 

You can hear the rest of his tale right after the break. 

Eden , Eden Down with Eden and Her brothers in Arms

Our dear Eden is angry from all that attack on her , especially she did not do anything wrong , in fact she will be glad to kill Arabs , in fact to slaughter them
The IDF should hire a good PR company because it looks now more uglier than it is , Eden is not an individual case as there are others who also believe that the best moments of their miserable sick life is when they took a photo beside an injured or blindfolded or handcuffed man and posted later  !!
We found other soldiers in the Facebook posting disgusting photos with Palestinian prisoners “including children and dead body” in disgusting poses showing their sick side

it is truly sick , just look to this photo 4 stooge criminals with a blindfolded handcuffed little girl.

We do not know names except one : Dov Azoulay

Azoulay

This is even worse than Abu Gharib , it is not an individual case in a single area but rather a norm.
This post’s title was inspired by the famous Egyptian slogan during the Suez war “Eden, Eden , Down with Eden”

EAF Chronicles : Army Purchases From the U.S in 2009

We do not know much about Egyptian arm forces deals in our press despite the fact that other countries declare these deals to their parliaments just like for instance the United States of America.

Dear Arabist published the press releases of the Defense department’s security cooperation agency regarding our Egyptian army deals from the States.

Just going through the details so fast , you will understand why Egypt is from the top 5 countries when it comes to arms importers !! 

I do not have anything against these reports , in fact I am happy that our army is not neglected with all the corruption in the country , it is better to import F16 than dogs with millions of dollars to the MOI.

I do not know why the regime keeps these deals as secret when they are available to everyone online.

I love this part in the press releases : The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.This makes me ask : what is the basic military balance in the region !!??

I hope that the F16 pilots who will be trained or are trained in the States currently do not meet the fate of its colleagues in 1999 , I also hope that if we are going to spend billions of dollars that our regime and army be more generous and do not put all your eggs in one plane !!

I only have one question : If we know how to spend billions of dollars on the best of arms , why we do not spend millions of dollars on the best of civilian infrastructure as well !!??

The infrastructure is an essential part of our national security just like our arm forces’ arms.

Ramadan's Arabian Nights : King Luqman And Salama's Tale "Ep.7"

A new night and new details in our tale, the tale of Salama at King Luqman's court. 

First of all, you can refresh your memory and listen to last night's episode. 

Here is the 7th night from our Arabian nights and the 6th part of Salama's tale right after the break.

El-Rayan speaks After 23 years in Jail

I am from the generation who only knows Ahmed El-Rayan by name but in the same time know very well how his clients up till this day suffer so it was a great opportunity to see the man whose name entered our financial and social history speaking for the first time in TV.

Most if not all sources speak negatively about this man to the level that his family name has become the synonym of Ponzi schemer in Egypt , it has become a normal a thing to read the arrest of a new El-Rayan here or there now and then in our press. Indeed he left a mark just like Madoff in the States or even more ; the huge profits his companies used to make reaching to 25%  attracting people to leave banks and invest in his trade , his alleged Barka 'blessing' lists of officials he used to bribe , using Islam and the concept of Islamic economy and introducing the number "billion" to the Egyptian society for the first time not to mention his relations with the regime and his arrest; no wonder that he has been a media sensation up till now.

Despite all my differences with him , Amr Adib made a scoop when all other shows are either in holiday or discuss TV drama ; he scored the first ever televised interview with El-Rayan as soon as he got out of jail in less than48 or 72 hours if I am not mistaken. This was first ever interview for El-Rayan in TV after 23 years in jail and may be it is his first ever televised interview as I have not read that he made an interview to any channel before his arrest.

More Than A Center

I will tackle again the so-called ground zero mosque controversy as it seems that this is not the end and the whole world seems discussing it, it is not a local matter in the United States
First of all I must hint to two issues :

1. It is not actually ground zero mosque , it is four blocks away from ground zero.
2. It is not a mosque , it is an Islamic center.

Second of all this is not a campaign against a center that is few blocks away from ground zero , this is a campaign against Muslims and Islam , you only have to read the banners of those angry tea parties  supporters and the right wing in the States , you only have to listen to Gingrich and Palin's ignorant rants to understand that this is an issue against a whole religion.Already I do not understand how Palin wants to be the president of U.S while forgetting that she should maintain and build good relations with Muslims around the world and in the United States in order to win their votes !! By the way I believe Palin jumped to the center's wagon to avoid all this media buzz about her daughter's drama ; just check the dates and you will understand what I mean.
