Simple forgotten things could please others

Most of you, who are living in the modern west, and taking simple decisions to improve your life style in an ordinary way that still happening every day.
Let me give an example, your decision to change your old laptop computer with a new version, of course you are going to throw away the old one in your storage room upstairs.
Can you imagine that in some parts of the world like Iraq, there is a very different image !!!
We have a new established non profit society for orphan children , being established by donor's efforts only , no grants from government or any other else , this society needs a three computers to teach their children how to use it .
I decided to donor the three computers for them; the total amount for these computers is equal to my hard work net profits of two years …!!
Very hard to believe it , and very brave to give also, but some people cannot see others suffering without paying attention. For me as a Muslim, and know very well what is the meaning of Islam concepts, I must not sleep well keeping other HUMANS suffering, (Humans are from all religions not Muslims only). So I do that with a great feeling of self trust to comfort my willing.
I am not telling you that to make you proud of me or to be famous on my blog , No I am gust trying to tell you that paying attention to other’s demand may cost us very little to make them feel happy.!
So , please before wasting any thing you don’t need , don’t be hurry , It could be very useful to others , and just ask me about it and I will find who deserve it.
Another example , I am quite sure as a Blogger , that a Laptop worth too much for me and for all Iraqi bloggers , ( not in money value ) but because it give me enough time to stay on internet while electric power get off in Iraqi cities for 18 hours in the 24 hours !!
And this is another story which I will you tell about later.
I write too much and have only five minutes before electric power off, see you later.

How to keep our blog alive ??

Most of my blog’s readers asked me to continue writing in English, this way could draw there attention to what is really happening in Iraq and how is our life running.
First idea passed my mind, I want you to know how is difficult to keep our blogs alive and running smoothly.
As a rule in the third country, always the educated people are suffering from an empty pockets.!!
It could be very strange for you, but here no one cares for your writings unless it is against our rulers intentions , and in this case , execusion or jail is waiting for you.
For average Iraqis, after last regime fall, Internet entered our life suddenly, opening a very wide screen in our thirsty soul for writing freely.
But due to the very small income for most of the Iraqis, using internet was only possible through internet cafe which cost the user 1$ per hour.
This kind is suitable for bloggers who are student or don’t have any income, and cannot pay for internet connection in their houses.
Wireless internet connection service here is monopolized by two private companies, they offered the service for 75 $ monthly. This amount of money is considered very high as compared to a standard average income of about 200 $ . Percentage of 35% is not little.
We have to stop buying many items, stop going to restaurants, no good candies or expensive toys for
Our kids, no gifts in occasions, we care only for one important thing , TO KEEP OUR BLOGS RUNNING.
As a writer in the west you can easily get some additional money from your writings, but here you write for free always.
For me, I even tried in the last two months to find an Arabic media that could pay for writings but failed. Then I tried some other western media in the USA, they accept my writings with a lot of their thanks but no Money gained at all .
I understood from friends who are living in the states and writing articles in USA media they get as an average of 200 $ per article.
My point, for making good bridges between cultures, we need to have some self confidence that our writings are worthy, and could bring some thing useful for our families.
I am asking any one in the west , who are working in societies , newspapers , magazines , and even website , have relations with some media channels to give a chance for our bloggers to sell their mini articles and reports , at least this can achieve some motives for others to write and get involved in the global net .
If you believe this is a good idea, let me know, of course I have other things in my mind for later discussion in next posts.
Thanks for all of you.

TO : ALL CHARITY AND HUMANITY SOCIETIS IN THE WORLD

This is message to conform that the Thalassemia society in Ninavah /Iraq is the first recent humanity and charity is to conform that the Thalassemia society in Ninavah is the one that established after the last war on Iraq by the coalition forces, because there was no such societies in the past! However our Thalassemia patients suffered severally from lack of drugs, health care and other medical supplementation’s including blood sacks and /or vaccines!!, some other patients died. There were over 250 patients died because of such circumstances .We have more than 750 Thalassemia patients under different categories of severity. Our new society is hopping to get some help and medical support our patients to keep their lives and health. Also we are hopping to get some volunteer center and people to send our patients to the BONE MARROW CENTERS or even the new CORD BLOOD TRANSPLANT CENTERS. (STEM CELL TRANSPLANT) The patients and their families looking forward to have such opportunity once for their smile and breathe You will be not forgotten at all please, our patients are waiting for a positive reply soon.

About Building Bridges - Friendship Groups

Fayrouz , is a very nice lady , she is an Iraqi origin lady , living with her husband in America , she always wrote in her blog (Live From Dallas) a great things that keep upper grade of nobel humanity active in people in a very calm and cool way , for which i am very gateful.
She replied to my last english post very quickly , so that i decided to post what she wrote in her blog , I hope this effort will be the first stone in our cooperating among nations .
Here is the text from Fayrouz blog :
This blog is known for building bridges between Iraqi and American people. Since, we're done with Iraqi elections, I'll write about building those bridges as much as I can. It's weird how you think of writing about a subject and all the sudden events direct you toward the resources. There's an Iraqi blogger, "A Free Writer", who mostly writes in Arabic with infrequent English posts. He's been writing for three months. His posts are very intelligent and informative in both languages. Yesterday, while thinking of "building bridges," I visited his blog and here's what I read: Why it is the US media continues to paint a picture of the situation on the ground in Iraq as one where the Iraqi people hate Americans? Most every service member who has served in Iraq will tell you that the majority of the people are friendly and hospitable, talking on the streets, inviting foreigners into their homes or businesses and many times offering food. Read more...He's asking for ideas on how to build Iraqi-American friendship groups. Knowing my readers, I know you and me can help him with this matter. So, please, visit his blog ,and drop him an e-mail or a comment with a suggestion. And please encourage him to write more often in English

Also i receivet another kind email from KT , another blogger also , for which i thank her very much.
I am enclosing the email below :
Much of what you say is absolutely true which is why blogging has done so much to bridge the cultural gap between Iraqis and Americans. Logically, we all thought we understood living under oppression, but not really until we read blogs and understood. Sounds stupid, I know. Thanks goodness for the internet and blogs, because it has opened alot of minds. We all do want the same things, and the majority of Americans just want Iraqis to be free to determine their own future.

I have often thought what a shame it was that the security situation was so bad that the coalition and Iraqis couldn't interact more on a one on one basis, because it wouldn't be long before things were on the right track. Blogs for Iraqis and soldiers certainly have made a difference and recently have been a topic of discussion in America. Think the media is beginning to understand we don't believe them anymore.
Also as you mention, if we can get people together helping in education, medicine, and business and reconstruction so much the better. Has to be Iraqis doing the work with assistance from the coalition. How to do that I don't know except bloggers as a group could make a difference and bring attention to the problem. Some have taken up certain things like Iraqi schools, and maybe that's the best way to get the word out for help.
Enjoy you blog; thanks for taking the time and effort to build strong bridges.

Building Strong Bridges

Why it is the US media continues to paint a picture of the situation on the ground in Iraq as one where the Iraqi people hate Americans?

Most every service member who has served in Iraq will tell you that the majority of the people are friendly and hospitable, talking on the streets, inviting foreigners into their homes or businesses and many times offering food.

There are insurgents, terrorists and bad people in Iraq who are gaining the media focus only, but not the average Iraqis.

Geographically, there are differences where people are friendlier or less friendly varying even from village to village or town to town.

The great majority of Iraqis are just like the majority of Americans; wanting to raise their children and prepare them for their future while earning a living in a safe and secure environment and continue living in peaceful environment .

Founding an Iraqi-American friendship groups that works in educate people, open a dialogue between the two countries, this idea came when I noticed that the American soldiers know nothing about the Iraqi and the Islamic cultures except a few ideas which's wrong in mostly and the same thing for the Iraqis, they only know America from Hollywood movies (violence, crime, gangs, drugs, and porn) !!.

Always when seeing all those kids working in streets, escaping from schools , or begging, cleaning shoes, smoking cigarettes etc … I always thought about how they works in bad situations and they still to young for that, I always asked myself "what will happen if one of them become the Iraqi president?, what is the common thing between them and Saddam ? My mind answer was: “poor uneducated” .

Let me get your emails which stimulate any ideas that may reduce the miserable life’s condition for those kids??

UFO again...in Tsunami !!!

Was it a coincidence?
Lots of people now from the Tsunami and earthquake hit areas are reporting about strange Unidentified Flying Objects they saw a few days before the mega quake and Tsunami. People in Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Andaman and Nicobar Island as well as many in Indonesia were reporting for some time about strange flying objects in the sky.
The local media in these areas did not know what to do with the reported sightings. But it seems now from the reports that many UFOs were in the sky and were trying to communicate something.
Some even are conjecturing that this horrific Tsunami and earthquake may be some kind of experiment. In Port Blair, the capital city of Andaman Island of India, last week some tourists saw strange silent flying objects.
In Sumatra, remote places also had similar experiences for quite some time.
According to some UFO experts, UFOs always hover around the epicenter of major calamities. They somehow sense these coming natural disasters. Some believe that they try and communicate with us to warn. Some even believe these UFOs simulate natural disasters in the earth.
India especially in the Himalayas, China, Indonesia were experiencing heavy UFO sightings in recent days. Remote areas of Bangladesh, Mayanmar, and Andaman Island, Sri Lanka have also recently reported such sightings.
Indian Government and the military are quiet for a long time about these numerous UFO sightings. Some believe that India in recent days have been contacted like America was in the middle of the last century.
The recent excessive UFO sightings all over the world are forecasting serious disasters in the world. Many people believe, we are in for a rough time as far as earthquakes; volcano and similar natural calamities are concerned.
The lining up of Sun, Earth, Moon, Venus and Jupiter is dangerous. And this has caused some to belief that earthquakes can havoc the earth. As a matter of fact India has seen many earthquakes in last few months.
Earthquakes in India are not common like Japan.
It is possible that UFOs are trying to communicate to us to warn about the planetary positioning effects on the Earth’s tectonic plates and crust.
In older days, Mayans and Egyptians were always scared about planets lining up in one line.
How did they know that earthquakes are eminent? It may be they did communicate with the extra-terrestrials and understood about planetary angular momentum theory that we just started learning now.

Needed Sympathy

USA and UK are in place in Iraq ,
How do American and British people move forward from their countries to help the Iraqi population?

Pulling out USA/UK troops merely confirms to the remaining Arab dictators that time is still on their side at least for the present time, also to maintain training of Iraqi forces until it can take responsibility of whole Iraq regions.

How about: each UK and US town/city to "twin" with an Iraqi town/city to show normal Iraqis that the West doesn't just consist of Armies only .

Any other ideas ?

أستدعاء المسوخ حين يغيب الأبطال

يا سادة شاهت مسوخ العصر التي قد يلتف حولها الناس حينا

وسيهلل الجمع قليلا ثم تسقط عنهم عباءاتهم الموشاة بالبطولة الزائفة

لا تثريب عليكم في لحظةٍ تنفسّون فيها عن الإحباط و اليأس و هواننا على الناس بالهتاف لهذا أو ذاك
لكن بالله عليكم كفى فرحا و تشييدا للأوهام على كاهل من ليس أهلا للأمر
خطر ذلك أننا نصدق أحيانا ما نصنعه بأيدينا

فلا يتحتم عليكم بالضرورة إن كنتم تبغضون أمريكا أن تناصروا صنيعتها القديمة وإبنها البار الذي إنقلب عليها

و للذين خدعهم الدخان المتصاعد حول أنقاض ابراج مانهاتن أو صراخ الناس في أنفاق مدريد أو رشاش الدماء النازفة على تراب العراق فاني اخبرهم أن الأسلوب الهمجي ليس من أخلاق الإسلام ولا فروسيته الأصيلة.

يحدث دائما في فترات الضغط و الإحباط....حين يغيب الأبطال الحقيقيين عن الساحة فإننا سنظل متعطشين لبطل أسطوري نهلل حوله

استدعاء المسوخ ليس ظاهرة جديدة ...

ففي ظل غياب البطل الحقيقي الشريف...يستدعي العقل أقرب الصور إليه وفي هذه الصور يتفاوت الناس تفاوتا واضحا حتى ولو كانت صورة شائهة أو كانت مسخا أخلاقيا أو حتى صورة مشوهة من البطل كأن يكون مثلا قد وُلد في بلدٍ أنجبت صلاح الدين أو غيره مما يستحضره عقلنا المعاصر الملئ بالإحباط من فشل متتالي وتأخر عن ركاب العلوم والتكنولوجيا مع ضياع متعمد او غير متعمد لهوية إسلامية خالية من العقد والأمراض ولأننا في ظل غياب الحلول المنطقية الواقعية يدفعنا الإحباط و رفض اليأس للهرب نحو انتظار الأساطير ...

والعجيب أن بعض من هللوا للبطل البارحة... قد يبصقون عليه اليوم إذا ما تكشفت لهم حقائق عملية تثبت خطأهم لكن ذلك لا يثير فيهم شعورا بالذنب تجاه دينهم.. فهم يستمرون بالمكابرة وتـأخذهم العزة بالإثم

كفى بالله عليكم.. فلم نتوه خلف المسوخ تاركين السبيل الحقيقي و الأبطال الحقيقيين. ثمة شئ يدفعنا دائما لترك الحقيقة جانبا و الهروب نحـو الأساطير
فالأسطورة تتحقق أسرع و بأقل التكاليف..ونحن لا نريد أن نتعب...

شئ أخير لابد من قوله وأنا أكتب هذا المقال في موقع عام يرتاده الجميع فلا يتصور احد أن الطريق لن يكون مرهقا و يستوجب منا أن نصبر ولو ألف عام لكي نستوضح الصورة ونجد ما أضعناه خلفنا قبل أن نصبح ما نريد... والسلام

UFO Sighting & Strange Signals in Indian Ocean

People are again reporting heavy UFO sighting in Nicobar Island, Andaman, India, Maldives, and Sri Lanka coastal areas. The animals in these areas are again showing strange behavior. The fishermen and their families this time are taking these signs seriously and are refusing to move near the ocean. The tribal people of Andaman Nicobar Island have again moved to the high grounds. The sea birds are also showing strange signals.

The UFO sightings happen at night with strange lights. The continuation of tremors of 6 or less Richter scale seems never ending. The ships traveling between India’s mainland and the Andaman-Nocobar Island as well commercial fishermen in Indian Ocean are reporting strange signals as well as jamming of their radio channels.

According to some experts, these are signs of possible experimentation with tectonic plates by some entity. People in Nicobar island complaints something is going on under the ocean – deep underground – many miles below the water surface.

The pattern of aftershocks is also strange. Normally on plotting the same they show a gradual decrease in the moving average of Richter scale reported. This time no pattern can be found. After one large aftershock, a considerable time lapses before the next one. It seems someone is controlling the after shocks and making sure plates are not over stressed. Andaman and Nicobar islands has experienced 121 aftershocks between 5.2 and 6.2 Richter scale. The Geologists in India are closely tracking these aftershocks and cannot find a pattern. The only pattern that can be found is a large lapse after a considerable aftershock.

A sailor in the Shipping Authority of India Limited who also sailed in transatlantic shipping routes says, this part of the Indian ocean resembles now Bermuda triangle region.

In Burmuda triangle part of Atlantic ocean manifest strange behavior and ships as well as aircrafts vanish.

But there is a difference. Here the disturbance seems to be coming from the tectonic plate levels.

One explanation can be some entity doing underground research with moving plates. It is known that some countries have research projects on creating artificial earthquakes. The other possibility is bizarre. Many in Indian coastal areas now believe that the UFO sighting before the Tsunami had something to do with the Tsunami.

المد والجزر ما بين النشر الالكتروني والمطبوع

في ظل التحدي الذي جلبته شبكة الإنترنت ، فرضت الصحافة الالكترونية نفسها على الساحة الإعلامية كمنافس قوي للصحافة الورقية ، بالإضافة الى ظهور الأجيال الجديدة التي لا تقبل على الصحف المطبوعة .
ومن أهم مميزات الصحافة الالكترونية هي نقلها للنص والصورة معا لتوصيل رسالة متعددة الإشكال والاحتفاظ بالزائر اكبر قدر ممكن حتى لا تتحول الجريدة الالكترونية إلى نسخة الكترونية من الصحف التقليدية كما ان هناك مميزات للقارئ الالكتروني منها السرعة في معرفة الأخبار ورصدها لحظة بلحظة على العكس من الصحف التقليدية التي تقوم بالرصد والتحليل للموضوعيات ، بالإضافة لغياب مقص الرقيب على المواد الصحفية التي يتم نشرها نظرا لان الانترنت عبارة عن عالم مفتوح .
و بالرغم من أن الوسيلتين لاغنى عنهما في الوقت الحالي باعتبار هما وسيلة من وسائل التثقيف إلا أن هناك مجموعة من التحديات التي تواجه الصحافة الالكترونية في العالم العربي من بينها تواضع أعداد مستخدمي الانترنت العرب والذين تصل أعدادهم إلى 14 مليون مستخدم معظمهم من الشباب علاوة على غياب آليات التمويل في مختلف صورها سواء كان تمويلا ذاتيا أو بصورة إعلانات حيث أن هناك حالة من انعدام الثقة بين المعلن العربي والانترنت بصفة عامة .
بالإضافة الى ان نقص المحتوى العربي على شبكة الانترنت يقف وراء عدم انتشار الصحافة الالكترونية بصورتها الواضحة كماهي الحال في الغرب – ونشير هنا الى ضرورة خلق كيان يضم فيه المحرريين الالكترونيين بحيث يضمن لهم آليات جديدة للعمل الصحفي من خلال التدريب ورفع مهاراتهم وكفاءاتهم .
اذ أن الصحافة الالكترونية مكملة لدور الصحافة الورقية والمطبوعة وليس هناك صراع بينهما الا أن التمويل أصبح الآن من آليات نجاح تلك الصحف في شكلها الحديث والذي ينعكس بالتالي على شكل وأداء الموقع من حيث تنوع اخباره وتحديثها بين الحين والآخر اذ أن ثقافة الانترنت اصبح لها جماهيرها وشعبيتها وهي بازدياد على العكس من قراء الصحف والكتب .
والصحافة الالكترونية التي تشهد ميلاد مواقع كثيرة تواكبها زيادة في عدد زوارها ، تستفيد من الأزمات التي تمر بها الصحافة التقليدية ومن بينها الرقابة عليها ومنع بعض المواد الصحفية من النشر و الأزمات الاقتصادية التي يمر بها العالم العربي مما دفع الصحف التقليدية الى الاهتمام بمواقعها الالكترونية على الانترنت وتحديثها بصفة دورية فالغالبية من الصحف أصبحت تتجه إلى الانترنت والإعلام الفضائي في ظل نزيف الخسائر الحالي ، الا ان الصحافة الالكترونية لن تحل محل الصحافة الورقية مهما طال الزمن .

تعزيز الحوار ما بين الحضارات

لقد أصبح موضوع فتح باب الحوار ما بين شعوب وحكومات العالم من أهم اللبنات والخطوات الأساسية التي يجب على جميع دول العالم أن تخطوها وذلك من اجل تعزيزعملية التعاون والتفاهم ما بين دول الشرق والغرب، فاليوم ما أحوجنا جميعا الى العمل بجدية في ترتيب مثل هذا النوع من الحوار والذي سيسهم، بلا أدنى شك، في تعزيز التقارب ما بين الثقافات والحضارات المتباينة سعيا في ازالة الحواجز المتراكمة من سوء الفهم المتبادل ومن الافكار المسبقة القائمة على القواعد الهشة والتي تختزنها الذاكرة الشعبية لثقافة شعب من الشعوب عن ثقافة شعب آخر، ما يجعل من مواصلة الحوار وتوسيع دائرته رسالة النخب الفكرية والكفاءات العلمية والثقافية، ومسؤولية المهتمين بالمصير الانساني لتحقيق توافق عالمي في الاراء.
لاشك أن هناك فجوة نامية في العالم، لكنها ليست نزاعا كبيرا أو عسيرا كما يعتقد البعض بل يرتكز هذا الصراع على قلق نفسي وخوف وجودي يولده عالم سريع التغير، اما مؤيدو نظريات الصدام او الصراع وعلى رأسهم صامويل هنتغتون استاذ العلوم السياسية في جامعة هارفارد وصاحب نظرية صراع الحضارات ، فيبررون انعزاليتهم بأن يضعوا (الاخر) في بؤرة كل ما هو خاطئ وسيئ في العالم, لذا ورغم الفروقات والخلافات في القيم ووجهات النظر والاراء حول العديد من القضايا، فإن ذلك لم يقلل أبدا من الرغبات والقيم التي تعبّر عن انسانية مشتركة، ولا تعني ان الخلافات السياسية القائمة بين شعوب ودول العالم تفوق قدرة الانسان على حلها، وبالتالي فمن يعتقد بأن هناك صداما فعليا ودمويا ما بين الاديان او الحضارات فهو ليس على الصواب، لان ليس من الضروري ان يعبر السلوك الشاذ الذي قد يصدر من القلة عن رأي الأغلبية ولعل خير مثال على ذلك هو موقف الدول الاسلامية من احداث 11 سبتمبر الارهابية، حيث كانت دولنا الاسلامية من اوائل دول العالم التي استنكرت تلك الاحداث التي هزت المشاعر الانسانية والرأي العام العالمي والتي طاولت اناسا مدنيين وابرياء من مختلف الجنسيات، وفي المقابل لقد انشأ اميركيون حلقات حماية حول المساجد في اميركا تعاطفا مع العرب والمسلمين الذين تعرضوا للمضايقات في بعض الولايات الاميركية، كما قامت بعض النساء الاميركيات بتغطية رؤوسهن تضامنا مع الاميركيات المسلمات المحافظات، فكيف يا ترى يطرح لنا البعض فكرة الصراع ما بين الحضارات او الاديان ويؤكد على وجودها، أو ليست تلك الامثلة كفيلة بأن تقنعنا بأن العلاقات ما بين جل الحضارات البشرية ليست في اسوأ أحوالها كما يبدو للبعض، أم أن البعض لا يزال الى الان مصمما على قطع جميع الروابط والصلات ما بين دول الشرق والغرب
إن الحوار والتواصل من اجل تعزيز التفاهم هما من الخطوات الأولى نحو السلام، وجهود الحوار هذه جسور حيوية بين الحضارات، والحوار والتعاون يحصلان رغم الفروقات بين الشعوب والصراع الذي يحدثه كره الاجانب او التطرف, لذا يتوجب علينا ان نضاعف جهودنا للاصغاء لما يقوله ويريده الطرف الاخر بالفعل، وعلينا الاستمرار في بناء النسيج الاجتماعي العالمي على أرضنا من اجل تعزيز الامكانية لعلاقات قائمة على الثقة وحوار قائم على الاحترام، وعبر المزيد من الحوار والتفاهم سنقوي ونطور روابط تسمح بتواصل مفتوح، ولذلك فمن الضرورة مواصلة التعاون لاقامة المزيد من الندوات الاقليمية والدولية حول الحوار والتعايش بين الحضارات والثقافات، ومدّ أسباب التواصل مع المنظمات والهيئات والجامعات الغربية للمشاركة في هذا التعاون، تحقيقا للمصلحة المتبادلة وتعميقا للتعاون الدولي في هذا الاتجاه الفكري والثقافي الحيوي وذلك لاقامة نظام جديد قائم على أسس متينة، فهذا الحوار والتواصل باستطاعته الحد من سيطرة مخاوفنا علينا، كما انه يحد من ترجمة فهمنا لهذه الفروقات الى عنف أو نزاع, هذا هو نبع السلام ومربط الامن الحقيقي.

A Baptism with Blood must be over

Men and women of our people in Iraq, who were armed only with faith and hope, passed the polls under the very real threats of being blown to pieces. These are the real braves; not the miserable dirty creatures of hate who are attacking them, now we knew the true metal of Iraqis.

I am just filled with pride and moved beyond words. People are turning up not only under the present threat to polling stations but also under future threats to themselves and their families.

While we are witnessing something quite extraordinary event, I myself have voted and so did members of my family. Thank God for giving us the chance.

In fact, most of the recent successes in capturing and rounding up terrorists can be attributed to the toughening will of the Iraqi security forces.

Local Iraqi TV , is showing every day members of criminals and terrorist gangs , some of them Killed ,slaughtered , kidnapped, Iraqi citizens , Translators who worked with MNF , Iraqi security forces members , and many other innocent people from other countries.

Police director considered this action as a final warning for terrorist to give up, otherwise, and after 15 days from today, a very big security action against terrorist will take place in the city center and the surrounding villages.

As we all saw, the media has an effective result in removing fear, encouraging people to take required action and in sending their security tips to hot lines and inform about any strangers seen in residential area.
