Burning the Quran: A Paganist Rite !!

A few days ago, I was in a local school. While I was talking to a teacher, a student (probably 14 years old) approached politely and asked: “Uncle, do you have a lighter?”, and I knowing of smoking students asked him: “What for?” he replied shyly: ” I want to burn this paper, it has Quranic verses on it.” … I got the whole point then, but I smiled wickedly and shouted: “What! Are you crazy? You want to burn the Holy Quran? (and some students gathered) Look at him! he wants to burn the Quran… Didn’t you see what Happened in Afghanistan a few days ago?” … The poor child was horrified looking at his mates: “No.. I dont want to burn the Quran, I just want to burn this paper and protect the Quanic verses on it not to be stepped on!!” …There was a murmur among the students mostly supported him, and still I wickedly wanted to play the dirty game: “Do you know what does it mean to burn the Holy Quran? You should be killed right on the spot !!”… but I felt pity for the horrified little child and smiled lovingly at his face: “You are a good boy, I was just kidding… one must burn such papers.”… and handed him the lighter… after that I watched the bunch of the little Muslim boys circled on the burning “quranic” paper !!

  It is crazy to think of the whole story that way but for those who dont know, some (if not most of) Muslims feel that it is their duty to protect their Holy Book from any insult or humiliation.  Any paper (specially at school) that holds quranic verses on it (and you know that at school there are stacks of that) should be burnt to protect the “Word of God” from being stepped on when thrown on the street or be stained with dirt  if thrown in rubbish…  and so, devoted students usually take the “quaranic papers” to be burned or torn into tiny pieces safely !!!  I knew this as I was child, as I knew lot of other paganist rituals that were delivered to us ages ago before “our” prophet Muhammad !!

This story has led my exhausted mind to another one: When I was a child too, I was barely 14 by then and I was herding the goats by the road. A couple of Christians (probably traveling) stopped their car by me, chatted a little with me in my stuttering English and handed me the Bible in Arabic. I loved that present then, and cherished it as a precious toy, and even before going home I devoured the sweets Word of God and sympathized with Jesus “the poor” !!!

When I got home late that evening happy with my new Book, my dad saw it, he took it, read the title and was furious: ” are you crazy to read this book?” and after we housed the goats and fed them, he burnt it in the darkness beside the tent. I could see the flames lightening his happy face and wondered why to be happy for burning a book… just a book…… Now, ages later, I can understand my dad; he wanted to protect his dear son from that “poison”… But that didnt make me more Muslim, nor faithful… AND the burning flames were surging in my little heart ever since !!

Flames…Fire… Burning … is an adhesive part of our heart, the bedouins , we burn to cook, warm our shivering hearts and survive !!

At an international voluntary work camp, I was chatting to an American volunteer while a Palestinian mate was trying vainly to set the fire on… dozens of others volunteers were circling the big bonfire. As a bedouin who was born into the fire, I felt that that guy will never be able to sit a fire. I got up, asked him to rest and took off all the woods off the fire, then started to rearrange them again patiently; the weeds first the sticks and finally the trunks, and a final blow will finish the job to keep the flames for the whole night. as I was to finish, the American girl shouted: Hay Sami ! You are an artist.” and raised her thumb. “Don’t you know that bedouins worship the fire” I said smilingly.

Why in hell burning a book takes all that of blood? The answer is simple: it is the devilish intention to insult faithful believers.. the intention to humiliate a major religion… AND burning a book wont stop believing hearts, nor blinding the glaring eyes looking for the truth beyond the paganist rituals of burning a Bible !!

A Tale of Two Cities: A Different Approach !!!

“Woe for a nation that eats from what it doesn’t plant and wears from what it doesn’t sew”    Chinese wisdom.

And this is how in a few decades China turned out from a feudal country into the first industrial country and will soon beat the States… This is how and why China produces all what the whole world needs… at the time the Arab world (still ruled by the San Remo Plot through which the Arab area was divided into pieces) imports every single thing it needs, and even forced to buy what it doesn’t need in lots of cases (like the new military arsenals to be used against a neighbor or a brother country… but never against the occupiers that fill our region)

A few  weeks ago, a friend of mine (was a classmate) came to consult me in building his house (stupidly) thinking that I am a genius planner and builder… he got the excuse, because (after working for ten years –since I was a child- in all what you can imagine of works, specially construction) I could plan and work out nearly every single thing with my own hand- starting from drawing and redrawing the maps for nights, digging the bases, building the walls, the iron bars, the roof, planning and installing electricity and water systems…etc,.. and all that because I worked enough to learn what I need, and you cant imagine how much I saved, but I did that not because I wanted to save but because I didn’t have enough to pay the workers !!! It took me 13 months to finish my house of sqm107 !!

I took my friend to a local store where you can buy all what you can think of construction infrastructure; cement, pipes, wires (any size), tubs, faucets, showers, tiles, lightening…etc, etc, etc… When we reached the gate, there was a big sign (This store is clean from the products and services of the settlements) and when we got inside we found nothing but settlement products !!! You see how blatantly and unashamedly we are liars?  Why? The hell, tell me why !!

Burqan, is a big and well known industrial city, sorry settlement, in the heart of the West Bank, and it produces around 150 products of furniture, chemicals, plastic products (all what you can imagine of profitable plastic products), food, drinks, detergents, … almost all what you need at home…. But why the hell we lie? Why our “reverent” “government” spends millions of dollars for brochure, campaigns, TV programs, staffs, interviewing “specialists”, collecting data… all for a big lie?

This spring I started building a small mini-market in our tiny village. It took me six weeks to finish every single thing with my own hands- and it was exactly like what I wanted it to be .. after two months of the opening, I can tell you that most of what I sell is from “our neighbors” the rampaging settlers, the modern copy of the American fugitive cowboy .. Do I have the choice? Of course not. Even when I warn costumers (all are my cousins…. And if you don’t know we, Bedouins, have 500,000 cousins) some tell me: so what? Isn’t it edible?  Others even recommend certain products knowing that they are from their oppressor !!!

In “israel”, there is a system of vocational school called “Reshet Amal” of which you can find one in every town, and several in the big  cities…. And as “israel” is a “so democratic” state and the only “democratic oasis in the Middle East”, they (the Zionists) have two different systems of those Amal schools for the jewish settlers other than the system for the indigenous Palestinian villages and towns:  In the jewish system, they provide courses that produce fighters, snipers, security agents, economists, interrogators, armed guard, computer and net experts, hackers, musicians, painters,  site managers (to control and watch at the Palestinian workers) and mostly of what is called (white jobs)… however, the indigenous Palestinians are forced to choose the dirty careers of builders, garbage cleaners, servants, cooks, toilers … if not, they got to face the street and end into a dead end !!!

This way, this systematic teaching and training, makes the difference, creates and molds the generation you want !!! This is all done with the approval and auspice of the GRAND WB… yes, you heard it well, The WORLD BANK !!!  Also there is a very similar program that is conducted by the UNRWA vocational centers to produce the same quality of Palestinian servants … (in the early 1980s, when the “israeli” building market needed more and more dirty workers, the UNRWA launched a wide program in every Palestinian refugee camp to prepare the refugees to work and serve their oppressor as builders, tilers, bleachers, servants (in cooperation with the zionists of course) ) … but the problem is that when you ask the UNRWA officers, they will boast of helping the “poor refugees” to win their bread … the hell with the UNRWA’s well-planned programs !!!

………………………………………..

Two years ago, a friend of mine, a lawyer, a classmate too ( Didn’t I tell you that we, Bedouins, also have 500,000 friends?) told me a strange story: this lawyer (got his MA in International Law from Paris, and now preparing for his PhD dissertation- see? despite the UNRWA programs, we are not all builders) was working for a Law Institution. The manager held a meeting for the workers to decide “democratically” to rent a car, to decide its type, model and probably its color and accessories. After a heated discussion my friend suggested that it is a stupid idea to rent a car for two years, it is a waste for the donor’s money to pay some 30,000 USD (that apart from the daily fuel) to rent a car that doesn’t cost a third of this sum to buy it. He suggested buying a new one and using it for two years, then to sell it again, and this will cost them not more that 10% of the suggested sum… The Law Institute owner, sorry, the manager said a big NO. But why sir manager, businessman or whatever? The manager said that we are not allowed to buy, it is not only that, but also we have to choose from a “wide range” of certain car-rent companies. ”Who said that?”, my friend asked. “It is the donor, the WORLD BANK” !!!

You see? This is how the money is dictated to create a New Middle East in which “israel” is the dominant player militarily, economically, politically  and whatever you like –lly.

This could explain the reason behind the crises between Egypt and USAID. between Gaza and the USAID that happened this month, in wich the USAID stopped all its projects in Gaza… they dont want any one to interfere in their programs, not even the relevant countries and communities…. they, the USAID and such “humanitarian” agencies are not more than the economic arm for the intelligence agencies, they aim to set programs that facilitate their control…. every Western country has its own “humanitarian” agency

……………………

The Story started some 100 years ago. At 1917 (the date of Balfour Declaration) when the Palestinian economy was (comparatively) one of the most developed and modernized economies in the region. It took the British occupiers exactly 30 years to accomplish their promise to the jews; to -systematically- devastate the Palestinian economic and social structure, to kick the Palestinians out of their homes…and… build a modern, powerful and stable jewish colonizer society. This has happened deliberately, and step-by-step while deceiving the Arabs with the “good intention” of the government of His Britannic Majesty King George the Fifth in London. The trick passed and they transplanted a “nation” into the Arab body, however, we are still, after 100 years, suffering the side effects of planting that cancer of the Zionist entity.

Shall I stop  here?

IRAN

After the establishment of the Zionist entity on the rubble of Palestine, the French government was a major player in aiding the Zionists, both in the 1956 sub-war and later (after knowing that “israel” is defenseless without the Nuclear Weapon) in building the Zionist Nuclear core in more than a site in “israel” … France got it share in adopting the bastard !!

The American role in nurturing the “poor jewish state” emerged like a rocket after the war of 1973… the American role in aiding the Zionist entity dosnt need any further explanation after mentioning the  yearly unconditioned almost 4 billion USD, this is other than the unlimited military aids like those shipments sent to the Zionists while they were burning Gaza !!

Do you know Kurtz? Not my friend in no way, though I have dozens-virtually at least !! Kurtz, is the main character in “Heart Of Darkness” , [a short novella, strongly recommended] the masterpiece of Joseph Conrad. Conrad describes Kurtz as half polish half German, educated in France and served the British Crown. Conrad says: he is the breed of whole Europe. This Kurtz (as Conrad described him over 100 years ago) was in a “holy mission” to educate Africa, but he ended up a real curse for Africa, and turned into a cannibal opening his mouth wide to swallow the “white gold” of that time, the African ivory… Now we have our Kurtz now represented in the Zionist entity that turned into the butcher of the age, protecting the West greed of the “black gold” of the Arabia !!

Why Iran?

It took the Britons thirty years to kick the Palestinians out, and the French a few years to create Nuclear Zionist state that is eligible and entitled to any new technology specially the deadly ones…. The so “democratic” West, was about to make the Apartheid South Africa a nuclear state for them to be able to control the whole of Africa from Cape-Town …BUT… the democratic  and forgiving South Africa is banned from getting nuclear Power, even for peaceful purposes. Why?

This is how the whole west (talking of  governments and capital) is backing the Zionist entity; the only colonial occupying “state” on earth, not only with the Nuclear weapons, but also with the most modern and updated killer technology. Why?

Iran??

When Iran was ruled by a feudal dictator, the so “democratic” States started backing him with the nuclear knowledge, and even built a primitive core for not to compete them… BUT… after the public Islamic revolution it became a rogue country, that not only prevented from getting any scientific knowledge, but also besieged to be deprived from developing even its own knowledge. Why?

You see? A tale of two cities, two states, or even two tiny villages… never mind, but it is the politics of the whole world including its “benevolent” UNRWA and Grand WB !!  To keep enslaving the weak, to keep monopolizing the market !!

Nuclear Iran would mean a New Middle East other than that one of Ms Condie or that one drawn by the end of WW1, a new middle east that will be free off the American supported Arab dictators… to create it own future, to have its full independence off the transnation (American dominated) companies !!

——————-

But why to live the lie… our deadly lie of our so “lovely” and  American dominated PA? Stop lying my dears, we will never be able to boycott the Zionist products… stop the lie of the “Palestinian economy”, there is nothing like that at all. The Palestinian economy has been devastated decades ago. We are just consumers for the Zionist products that are cultivated from our land by our hands and you got to thank the UNRWA for training us to work and serve the “genius jewish mind” !!  If you want to help me fishing let me develop my own boat… don’t destroy my boat and train me to fish for you day-by-day

The “Palestinian economy” ? what a big joke… our PA managers and VIP holders are not more than  sub-sub-subagents for the Zionist businessmen. And our economy has completely been annexed to the Zionist one (thanks for the West, UNRWA and WB policy) decades ago !

Stop the lie and say it frankly that the West got sick of funding the occupation. That you are just managers for the tax revenue (mostly of the Zionist products). … the boycott campaign is just a lie, why you don’t admit? It only aims to control the whole market and to milk the already impoverished people, to get enough money to pay the occupation police .. you think you will get a state by obeying the American orders and milking your own people?  Stop the lie, stop devastating our economy first by annexing it more deep into the Zionist shark. Try the most primitive way of developing a primitive local and popular economy, micro-economy. There is space, there are minds (probably not as good as the “genius jewish mind”, but still we have minds to build our own boat and start fishing !!

The West got sick of funding a corrupt PA, they (the West) are seriously working on finishing our issue and give the rest to the oppressor, they wont give you a boat but will break you small boat…Saudi Arabia?  it is the slave of the big boss, it boasted of announcing donating 2 billion to Gaza but nothing arrived, nothing at all… build on your own nation, on your own children

We will never be able to build a state under occupation, not even with the existence of the transplant Zionist entity

In short, all the efforts of the West (including the “humanitarian” ones) are directed to create one fact of two cities; a Huge industrial settlement neighboring an impoverished refugee camp, a powerful transplanted “state” near impoverished, devastated and divided Arab cantons !!!

At the Spring of the Arab Street (two years ago I started talking of “my beloved man of the street” in my posts ) I have a VISION OF HOPE. Not that vision of hope built on the catholic marriage between capital and occupation to deceive the greedy agents… but a VISION OF HOPE that is built on the masses of the street to create a better future for the whole region without the side effects of the Zionist transplant… without the existence of the cancer itself !!

If I Were a Syrian… I am a Syrian !!

A few years ago, even before there was any trace of the Arab Spring,  I started to see and say that (the PA is a tiny Egyptian regime), that the PA is not only the breed of the close cooperation between the zionists and the Egypt of Mubarak, but also the American-Zionist-made and backed PA is a photocopy of Egypt of Mubarak in its corruption and the intermingling of power, police and business…. since the fall-down of Mubarak’s regime, the PA (tiny picture of Egypt)  started shaking in anticipation of an imminent collapse. Lots of things happened within the PA offices, but still the police grip is still faithful to its Creator in full cooperation with the occupier !!

Why Syria is the title here?

The funny thing is that the ruling party of both Syria and Iraq of Saddam are the Baath, identical in everything but were enemies in everything !!

When talking of Syria, I have to start with Palestine first… not miming the stupid Jordanian slogan of “Jordan First” which was created by the ruling family of Jordan intentionally to isolate it from its surrounding brother arab countries and to create a false “pure” Jordanian identity out of its natural habitat of the Arab world !! To magnify the “unique characteristic of the Jordanian people” in promotion of the “wise and historic” leadership of the ruling family, which is summed up in his “genius” political thinking of the ruling and zionist-American supported autocrat !! _ “Jordan First”… means Jordan first and last, and the hell with others… which simply cant work !!

BUT… I would start with Palestine “first” just because I feel that all the Arab nation faces the same dictator in different faces… the same regime that is built on Power, Capital and Bloody Police:

A few days ago, I was spending the evening with some friends chatting, one of them (a tiler) told me that he cant find a job since a long time and that he’s outlawed by the PA. Last year he went to work with some VIP holder’s company in tyling… he worked the first day, but the second day, the boss told him that they dont need him: “you are Hamas activist” the boss said. “but I never did something wrong…I was in the PA jail for political reasons…. and I am released now, they have nothing against me” my friend argued back, but the boss said: “We dont need you… go home.” … my friend left knowing that he will never be recruited (even in construction) within the PA circle.

It’s been over 3 years now and the PA’s ministry of education is firing every teacher suspected to be a Hamas “lover”… some (whom I know personally) were fired out of the teaching career only because they were faithful prayers… in this case, a tiny report of a PA (security or civil agent) is more than sufficient to end a career, to let a family starve.

Another person that I know personally, he wanted to guarantee a small canteen in a central clinic… through this “governmental-owned” canteen for the Ministry of Health, he can sell sandwiches, drinks and such trifles… he barely can save more than $10 a day. When he applied to guarantee this canteen, he was asked to do a security check, and you dont know what doeas it mean to do a security check in a CIA-fabricated, police-oriented regime… it means a week of torture to verify and certify that you are “clean” and dont “love the terrorists” specially if you pray regularly in the neighboring mosque.

First, you have take four “recent” photos of yourself and go the the local office of interior, fill an application with paid stamps of course, then to go to the traffic-police to verify that you are clean and get a certificate that you are a good civilian after paying the stamps of course (even if you don’t have a driving license nor ever driven a car), then to go the criminal-police and get their “benevolent” approval that you are not a suspect, then again to the political-police and pay again for “honor” certificate… the final office is the security-police… and this process takes days..paying all the time.

After that you take all your papers and travel to a central city, go to the Ministry of “Justice” give them all the papers and wait for a few days the final “security” check… if you are lucky you will pass and take the canteen to win $10 a day… however, if their is a PA senior officer  who hates you, or have trouble with one of your family, or your family is known to be faithful observant muslims, you are dead (talking of your job of course), you are out, you will be under the security eye until it is proven you are “clean” and not a possible (in the far future) supporter of Hamas, or an opponent party !! But Luckily, my friend passed all these “security” regulation and now he has the local canteen for a year !!

However, when you are a PA supporter, the story is totally different: a PA supporter teacher who has a diploma degree wanted to be a head teacher, but there is a problem that there is a better teacher (observant muslim) who’s got a Master degree in teaching techniques and other extra course is a rival…. the security is always there to intervene and the qualified teacher with Master degree was transferred to another area to create a vacuum for the “supposedly teacher” to be the head teacher in that high school…. now we have a wide spread saying: “Beware, education is heading reverse” and this of course will help the occupiers to create a whole country of wrongly and poorly educated people !!

What about Syria?

If I were a Syrian I would fight for my freedom…. the regime is the same all over the Arab world… the vast majority of (my beloved people of the street) the masses are marginalized to let the way to the 5% of the ruling individuals and their family members to keep monopolizing the power, capital and security !!

Syria... Revolution of freedom

The PA is a tiny copy of Egypt. The Syrian regime is not better than that of Gaddafi … and the Saudi one is the “greatest”

This is what happening in our beloved Arab world, but the revolution wheel is going on… the fear is over, and the Tyrant ruler must fall.

Here, I am not speaking of an individual, the person of the ruler himself (God forbid), I am talking of the whole regime that is monopolizing power, capital and “security”…. And in all of the Arab countries there is a long seated regime that could build and regenerate itself for decades, built and rebuilt itself to create a coherent system that is marginalizing the vast majority of the “citizens”, if there is anything called like this in the Arab world.

It is unbelievable criminality that is going on in Syria, no nationalistic slogans would save the butcher… and its time to pay the devil back !!

I am a Syrian in identity and blood… I am a Palestinian that Palestine is an intigral part of Natural Syria…before the West devided us into cantons called “arab states”…. I am a future Syrian citizin !!
