You rarely see there things any more. Its all gone to generic key cards thats dont give you a feel for where you are. You really lose touch with the hotel. The keys make you visit the reception to actually interact with then. The key card doesn’t give you that.
You hear about but never see it. I got it at the KDD store in Shuwaik. It is on 17st right around the corner f rom A2Z & beside the AlShaya sanitary store.
Secrets we share, but do you share your hopes and dreams?
A wonderful video montage showing clips from movies that depict Arabs/Muslims in a negative stereotypical way based on the book Reel Bad Arabs
Out of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from the year 1896 to 2000)
12 were positive depictions, 52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.
We really get the short end of the stick when it comes to these things, even the scrawny Jewish guy gets the girl at the end.
After Saddam’s verdict yesterday it really didn’t feel like a real verdict. As we say in Arabic “mako dagam”, it had no taste or meat to it. Just the way the trial was created ran and televised, you could tell it was a show.
But last night on BBC radio I heard something that really put it all into perspective. We shouldn’t look at this trial as just a trial against Saddam and what happened before operation Iraqi Freedom, but as a precedent on what will happen in the future. For when Iraq is back into it’s feet the people who commited the autrocities now will also be on trial for their actions just like they did to Saddam. Only then there will be some real reconicaltion for the deaths.
