The Land Of Olive

The land of olive... Palestine. Olive has been a symbol of freedom & peace for hundreds of years, and Palestine is known by it's olive trees which are spead all over the Palestinian lands. Palestine... A land linked to prophets and messengers and great history. it's the land of all relegions, Christinaty...Islam... Judaism.

Cities of Palestine are parts from paradise, the beauty of it's landmarks attracts each person wants to see the beauty of nature. roads are covered with flowers and jasmines especially the road to jerusalem it's somehow a heaven on earth, cars moving through the road watch the olive trees on both sides and the smell of olive sends optimism and hope for the future.

The city of peace... Jerusalem, the holy land which embraces the three celestial relegions was a city of peace & freedom sending it's safe and liberty to the whole world. But a number of foreign countries wanted to steal the freedom of that city since ages by sending different crosedure campaigns to steal the treasures of that holy land and send it to their countries in europe. The situation now is not totally different.

The peace has been turned to war, the freedom has been turned to siege... That's the current situation in Palestine. Your heart will be broken down when you find a mother hugging her child crying and saying "Dear child... you are one of my eyes, if i lose you for the sake of Palestine i don't mind because Palestine is a land should be protected by you and all", by saying so she assured that a person in Palestine dies to let hundred others live. you can feel her pain while saying so but what you don't know is that her child is not dead he is alive in paradise and if Palestinian dies another hundreds will be born to complete resistance and struggling to get back the stolen rights.

The braveness of a child holding a stone in his hand, throwing it into an Israeli tank is a little of the Palestinian braveness... A Palestinian little Girl holding her father's hand encouraging him to go and fight the Israeli enemy is some of what we see and feel and suffer from the occupation in our country everyday & moment. But it's the only way to get back our lands.



The greatness of Palestine is known by all and the desire of the whole world to gain some of the Palestinian treasures increases each day more than the day before.

The dream

United Arab states, no borders.. One flag.. One slogan.. One dream... The Arabian unity. If we remember our brilliant history we can find clearly the greatness of the nation we belong to, the power we had and the respect from each person knows that we are Muslims or Arabs, all that happened because we had one goal, were one hand & one nation. But now... Unfortunately we lost most of that greatness.

Hundreds of Arabs have the same dream which is the unity of their Arab countries. After the (Sykes biko) treaty which divided the Arab world into small countries each has it's own authority, flag and system, After dividing the Arab world.. The need of getting back our unity is very urgent to face the continuous occupations on our countries and to get power which protect us from any outer pressure.

The current Arab situation is somehow a crisis from all sides, poverty is spread all over the Arab countries.. Most of our Arab countries are occupied.. Rulers don't want to leave their places and want to keep ruling till the last breathe. Nowadays the Arab world is not able to show it self, to protect its nation or even to improve it self economically or politically. But the dream of getting back our unity and power is still there.

Each Arabian feels that he belongs to that great nation(the Arab nation) and also belongs to it's great civilization. Each Arabian wants to be related to one nation and one territory, but the point is that -as many feel- Arab governments don't want that step to be taken; why don't they want that step to be taken while if that happens the Arab countries will be improved economically-to avoid economic sanctions, politically-to avoid political pressure, and most importantly military -to be able to protect our lands from any outer invasion.

If we look at the dream from the emotional point we can find the Arabs are in common with too many things which enable the dream to be completed. Let's show some of these... The majority of Arabs are divided into Muslims & Christians, the Arabs also speak one language (the Arabic language), they have the same customs & traditions which cannot be differenciated from a state to another.
On the other hand, if we look at the realistic point of the dream we can see it less able to be achieved during this era but it's not impossible, even if we see the division of the Arab countries -as authorities and governments- increases and we can see clearly the weakness of the Arab league in facing any crisis but it's just a step towards the goal.

The dream of the Arabian unity is not only a dream, it's a dream to be fulfilled as soon as possible. It's not impossible to unite our efforts, authorities & our countries. As we saw the soviet union before and we can see recently the European union which is a great model of the unity between countries even if they have some differences between them.

My words are not only to show optimism, they also show evidences which prove to you that the Arabian unity is available, and to tell those who deny the ability of the Arab countries to re-unite that the dream may turn to reality if we trust ourselves and insist to achieve our goals. And to those who assure that if the whole world come together and unite... The Arabs will never achieve that step, I tell those people "When you say so it means that you know nothing about Arabs, the Arabs who face occupations and disasters none of you can face as bravely as we do, just look at the positive side of the Arab nation and the Arab people who work to implement what's good for their country".

In the end, the dream of the Arabian unity will never stay a dream, it'll be changed to reality if we put our hands together. There is no impossible to a nation achieved conquests, reached the borders of Europe not by killing and destroying as many others do... But by a will & insistance to spread the means of love, peace & safeness. And that's what we need from our unity.

Attacking Islam or freedom of speech?!

Attacking Islam has been increased by the western world after the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. and -unfortunately- it became a usual act to find westerns attacking Islam & our beloved prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H.

But the un-usual is to find a Muslim minister of culture Mr. Farouk Husni expresses his hatred to the Islamic veil (Hejab) in a statement written on an Egyptian independent newspaper "al masry el youm". Yet the anger against the statement didn't rest especially after his refusal to apologize.

He said "I'm so surprised while seeing hundreds of girls & women wearing the veil, which divides the Egyptian society into Muslims (wearing veil) and Christians without a hair cover.. Which increases the sectarian violence inside the country".

By saying so he tried to defend him self, but the question is "does the minister want us to remove and forget our religion and become like the west without ethics or traditions?! The answer is well known!

By completing defending him self and during an interview on t.v he added "I don't know why should girls cover their faces & bodies at the time they are the (flowers) of any nation must be shown to all people". So what we conclude from Husni's words that -in his own opinion- women's body is a commodity in which men have to enjoy watching it.

Some people consider that accident as a freedom of speech should be protected by all, while others feel that it's an irrational attitude comes out from a minister represents the ruling party, the government and an Islamic country should protect religion not attacking it.

My own opinion is that the minister has the right to say whatever he want, even if he expresses his hatred to one of the most important issues of the Islamic faith which is the veil. But what should be determined is that who said so is not a simple person but a person who represents the local egyptian government and a ministy of culture it's duty is to protect our domestic customs & traditions.

In the end if we agree or disagree with the Egyptian minister of culture, we all believe that religious faith should be protected by all citizens & especially the government.
