I've never understood why do people get really upset when they get stereotyped. For sure, It's really hateful to see a Muslim getting beaten hardly just for being a Muslim, but why would he get annoyed if someone jokes with him saying that he’s a terrorist!!

I strongly believe that stereotypes is an expression of cultures, when I say black that is not an insult for his skin color, it might actually refer to a reflection of his culture and struggle! Why wouldn’t a white man get upset as much as the black guy someone mentions his color! So, nothing is wrong with his skin color?

The same thing goes with Arab. For example, when you have a lot of Iraqi friends you notice that they don’t mind interrupting you even if they are intellectuals because they can’t stand hearing something wrong (as they think)! Thus, you find that Iraqis are missing one of the main basics for communication, then why would they get upset when people tell them that you all miss this communication base!

In another place, you have the Egyptians and Lebanese for example being very deceiving because they both work on marketing their ideas (THE TRUTH) and because they are never civilized when it comes to their states, it forces the rule of ‘the survival of the fittest’!

We’ve got to understand the concept of stereotypes in a better and clearer way, away from generalization!

:/

Whatever man!

a footnote on a letter for obama

Hello again,
me & my friends talked about you. Selfishly, they do not want you in charge because you contradict yourself! They say that you voted for the war on Iraq before and now you come & say something else.
I do not know for sure if you did or not, I've also heard that you voted against gays marriage although you are described 'too liberal' as Mr. Ghost says.
They also say that you are unexperienced and that you act like celebrities not like a politician!

Well, I really do not know what to say, but once again, having someone unknown is better than having another Bush who just said 'my VP will send her kid to Iraq & will not go easy with Iran' as if he's trying to assure that there is no problem in choosing a beautiful chick as a VP!
see, I really hate Oprah, but when she talks about you, she is fun, she clearly knows how to play with words ..

I'll be here watching you with a loud voice :)

A letter for Barack Obama

Hello sir,

I do not know whether you are going to read my message or not, however, there is nothing wrong with trying. I just wanted to show you my support. I’m a girl from the Middle East and thinks that you are AWESOME. See, I don’t want to get into the whole ‘getting troops out of Iraq’ debate or the Israeli Palestinian clash; I would like to try to forget our issues and focus on you as a symbol of America.

My father thinks that America has no democracy that’s why you are not going to win and he also thinks that you won’t make a difference because the American policy has always been the same, violent he means, whether the president was democratic or republican! You don’t need to really care about what he is saying, I do believe that it’s his infection for Chomsky and Ginsberg that makes him talk negatively about anything American and analyze it according to the conspiracy theory! To me, I do believe that America is a democratic country and if the results of the elections were negative to this or that group of people, that doesn’t mean that there is no democracy! Democracy is a system and the results reflect a picture of the American mentality. Democracy means that there is no gun pointed to my head while I’m voting!

When I see you on TV, images of good people come to my mind. I recall Martin Luther king junior, Malcolm X, and Louis Armstrong. I recall Bob Dylan, Tom waits, and others. You represent America that I imagined, the diversified America, the ‘fun’ America, and the ‘heaven’ America!
It will be a big loss for America not to choose you, there will be no similar copy of you in the coming future, and there will be no chance and right timing like now to present such an American icon like you.

Sir, build more hospitals in America more than sending weapons to the world. Mention the word ‘peace’ more than the word ‘war’. Listen to rap singers complaining from their rough life more than listening to other politicians bullshitting. Grow flowers more than destroy houses. And always change yourself to the better before you change others.

Sir, consider this message as a message from a human not from a girl, a Middle Easterner, or any other label. America is the policeman of the world; we are obligated to deal with it and to let our destiny between its hands, so I hope that you will be the one who moves its hands gently and carefully.

Best wishes,

P.S. >> I know that you are not a Muslim, and I don’t really care : )

Do you still remember me? after 10 months of Absence!

A movie that makes me desire Death,

A movie that teaches me "that death is not that easy"!!
