Contradiction is a reality in our puzzling world; sometimes drawing a clear cut line to identify things is not an easy affair. Here we have a unique instance of such phenomenon which can be absolutely described as tiny in some aspects, but, however, can be seen as big and great in some other ways.

Sometimes I do not understand politicians, and some other times I perceive some of them as swindlers who think that they are smart, but actually they are nothing but mere cheaters.

With a wide charming smile that shines like the sun rise; breaking the ice and binding the ties; it is Secretary Clinton, the Queen of the Obama’s Administration, who could change both the tone and approach of the American foreign policy worldwide (notwithstanding North Korea of course!). Amid...

Religiously speaking, Jerusalem remains the holiest city for the Jews, a spiritual center for Christians and the third holiest city in Islam; it is the place where many Jewish monuments and heritage reside, same as for Christians and Muslims. It is a land that witnessed many conflicts and wars. And...

Please donīt get shocked when you read this, and donīt get surprised either; Germany is the land where the most brutal and ugly massacre of human history had taken place, and also it is the land from which a global war had swollen causing more than 45 million casualties, not mentioning the destruct...

Nejad is back! Does it make any difference? No way! Of course the regime is the same, whether a conservative like Nejad or a reformist like Musavi would virtually lead the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, it is a question of relativity in that some candidate appeared relatively moderate and open m...

“I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. Together, you represent the harm...

"American Jews recognize the importance of support for Israel because of the dire consequences that could follow from the alternative. Despite the fact that Israel is often referred to now as the fourth most powerful country in the world, the perceived threat to Israel is not military defeat, it is ...

We live our lives, and days go by; day in – day out, in a sequence of endless events and stories of love and hate, prosperity and poverty, justice and injustice, war and peace and so forth. A never-ending story of innovation and technological advancement; man became so conceited; he went so fa...

It is so depressing, and at the same time extremely alarming, to see a big nation like Pakistan on the brinks confronting one of the most aggressive and determined radical and terrorist groups in the world. I now do not think that there could be anyway to make a distinction between the Taliban and A...

There has been a series of baffling events around the world that caused my apprehension and, at the same time, wonder.

Lessons in Tolerance
The area where I had a stay in Hyderabad was in the outskirt of the city; in a high point. The majority of people in Hyderabad are Hindus but you can find many Muslims, many Mosques and some Arabic influence, except in that particular area where I stayed. It was the first ti...

My First Day
My short stay at the small gulf state of Qatar had come to an end in September, 1996, and I had to leave for India to gain more skills in English and computer applications for the sake of having a better opportunity. For me, this was the most risky step in my life, as I never travele...

It was a sunny day on the 6th of October, 1973. Nothing was unusual in the air, but the bizarre replay of patriotic songs and Quranic verses on the radio. It was ´Ramadan 10th,´ in the Islamic calendar, and people were just fasting and busy on their daily routines and gossips about war. ...

What is happening in America nowadays? Is it the beginning of an uncertain future, or is it the start of a new era? America needs a bailout plan? Thatīs indeed terrible in itself! What is really shocking is how easily and quickly the financial system of the biggest country in the world could come to...

She is perceived as a holy woman of spiritual life and miraculous virgin birth; a constituent of a lineage of a righteous elite, and a symbol of purity and graciousness. Mother Mary was mentioned in the Holy Quran in a respectable and honorable way; there is one full ´Surat´ that is name...

The Hamayouni Decree and Tax Payment [Al-Jizyath]
'Copts want the antiquated 19th Century Hamayouni decree be abolished. It is inconceivable to require that the president of Egypt must approve permits to build a church or even to repair a toilet in a church. Mosques in Egypt are being built with...

It was a beautiful day; I still remember one of my earliest days; my childhood days, when my mother woke me up in the morning of January 7th, as my friend was waiting for me to go out with him to play and enjoy in the street. It was the Eastern Christmas, and my friend was dressed with his new cloth...

Promises, pledges and assurances. Words here, words there; it's a world of mere words, which make no sense, but the glamorous lights and the enchanting crowds and the vibrant media men are so lively and fill the hearts with excitement or say measly deceitful illusion. It's the presidency (contest) i...

It was a period of high spirits and dreams; patriotic songs touching the very bottom of the hearts, and the very pride of every Arab man. Revolutionary councils that command everywhere; in Cairo, Damascus, Baghdad and Algeria. Buzzing movement of tractors and machinery, and deafening enchants of exc...

At a warm night of July 1952, the atmosphere was perturbed; there was uneasiness in the air. Some unusual event was going on, but no body knew exactly what it was. Some soldiers and officers took on the streets, and there was a suspicious movement of armored cars and military tanks outside their bas...

It is perceived as a land of myths; men ruling with fire and iron, systems that don´t allow power sharing and people who are extremely suppressed and ignorant. Is the Middle East a part of hell and mill of terrorists or is it a land of special culture and heritage that require a different way...

The little and noblest village in Arabia, Mekkah, was extremely disturbed and anxious about the news of the incoming massive army of Abraha the Abyssinian, with huge elephants aiming at the destruction of the holy mosque, the Kaība.
The then feeble tribes of Arabia had nothing else to do with t...

"Down with America", "Let´s fight the devil, America", Let´s announce
