My God! I have been back for a total of how many days to this blog and I get this!!??

i was reading your blog about rebelious arab girl have no idea how i managed to come across such a shallow page, however i sympathise for you because surely your a very insecure individual with serious depression and negativity to come up with such a silly thing, i was born arabian (alhamdullah) my mother is iraqi and my father is lebanese/palestinian, the way i have been brought up has nothing to do with who i am, i grew up in the Uk and i get away with things no race on earth could possibly get away with because my parents are very undersanding and caring, thing is i dont choose to do any rebelious acts because i am a muslimah and nothing on this planet not even love can get between my religion, ive seen plenty of rebelious bitches that are pregnant from there silly acts and your telling me there happier than i am? naa i would rather stay a virgin and get married to one very sexy ARAB guy than lay around getting played about my europeans who are using me for one thing and one thing only. bottom line is your one unsatisfied ugly bitch that stares at her self day in and day out in the mirror trying to find an answer to why you dont fit into your roots, majorly because arabs are beautiful and perfect and you look nothing like them so obviously there going to pick on you

sorry for my honesty
Timaa stunninger arab

And I agree. I am a hideous ugly bitch who is rebellious and screws around all day with guys. I have been pregnant 10 times and every time I had an abortion and I am going to hell for killing 10 lives. Hence, that is exactly what Rebellious means.

God help you.

Blah Blah, Culture, Religion, They said what?, Whatever!

I was looking for an old blog post, but I may have removed it cause I am a bit moody and unstable. (We all knew that!) I was looking at my visitor statistics this morning, and I feel that Arabs and Muslims are still stuck in this mind set that I can never understand. I am an ethnic visible minority. I am not white. I am the only non-white in my family. Half my family is white and have blue or green eyes! I somehow inherited the DNA of some distant dark relative and that’s why I am tan. I am an olive skinned middle eastern girl and I have big eyes! I am who I am, but like many of you have labeled me on Facebook, I am a tough cookie! Meoow!

Don’t judge an entire culture and religion by their skin colour.

For those naive people that think Arabs are white or Muslims are white should get out of their little nests and see the world around them. We are so diverse, we are so mixed, we are not all WHITE!

Please, I am begging you! For your own sanity and to calm your nerves, we are not all WHITE! And for the most shocking news of all that you did not think about, WE ARE all homo-sapiens! We have a brain and we function just like you too! We are not the bottom feeders of the food chain. I just want to make that clear you know so you stop wondering that all Arabs or Muslims are white or should be white.

I wrote white far too many times in this post. I want to say green now because I am thinking that maybe we are aliens.

Blah Blah, Culture, Religion, They said what?, Whatever!

Due to the over whelming nature of my current life, I have decided that procrastination is not doing me any good and it is the reason why I am such a bad ass student. I was never a good student. I only got A- and B’s! No wonder why getting perfect was not a priority in my life. So, one more week of this Marketing course that is sucking the life out of me then I will be done 5 out of 7 courses for my project management certification. I decided I will re-post some of my popular controversial most hateful blog posts. I didn’t want to open them up again, re-posting them is easier. This is from August 25, 2009.

Why are Muslims turning Atheists?

(116 comments)

I had a pretty interesting afternoon trying to figure out why so many Muslims have turned Atheists. They seem to come out more now, and don’t care. You would think, that out of all the religions, a conservative one such as Islam, you would not have such a lack of faith.

A few weeks ago, when I learned that my cousins turned Christian, I was a bit dumbfounded. It is disappointing; however, it would have been worse if they completely lacked the faith of a higher power. At least they still believe in God, right?

In general, this lack of faith has a lot to do with where they are currently living, or what they are exposed to. Also, more and more Muslims are reading too much into their religion, and see how others are slowly destroying the image of it. Western media is trying to destroy it slowly. Muslims are lacking faith and don’t want to live this life, and are turning into a complete and opposite direction. I feel like we are back over 1400 years ago at the time of Jahiliyyah. I thought we ended this era. However, it doesn’t seem to be the case at all in such an exposed technology driven world.

I am not a Muslim scholar, or have the right to preach about any religion. All I know is that we are all raised a certain way. However, we all grow up to chose what is best for us. Some of us seem to lack faith, effected by media, or just read too much into a very simplistic religion. Why can’t people learn the basics of a religion? If everyone does that, no one would use religion in violent manners, to oppress others, or to manipulate other’s thoughts.

Also, what’s up with Muslims that say they are Muslims, but don’t follow the religion at all? What does it matter what others think of you religiously, if you don’t follow it or care enough to learn about it?

NOTE! Please, if you want to reply to this post, avoid talking about science, evolution, or the story of Adam & Eve. I don’t have time for never ending debates, and stick to the point of this article. Muslims that turned Atheists, or people who lack faith in their religion. Thank you.

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Religion

I know you guys want to kill me or are thinking that I suck and I have been neglecting my blog, but really I am not. I check it every day and since the day I made this blog, I have read every single comment. I appreciate your feedback, but 95% of the time I don’t agree with you. Sue me.

Anyways, I will stop being my true mean self for a second and be a bit serious. A lot of people have been asking me about religion and if I am religious. Does it matter? You know what I can’t stand though? Defining religion in scales of being truly faithful or semi or not as much. How can that be? I was born into the Islamic faith. I love it. I do believe it is a great religion and I follow it the way I think is fit for my life style.

I am in no way an extremist or even use religion to justify anything. I just believe in One God. I believe we will be all judged at the end of all this, and we have to accept our fate and live our lives to the fullest. I mean it, to the fullest. We should never back down or use religion to keep saying no to things or classify people in ranges of religion. You can’t do that.

Also, I have a huge pet peeve about something. You see, I do believe we are all brothers and sisters in some form of another. I mean we are all intelligent beings who live in a very small world and labeling each other and brother and sister is what really binds us together. However, I don’t like it when people use that term trying to bond others in a religious sense but don’t really mean it.

Brothers and sisters in Isalm. Ok, I get the point. However, I am seeing so much corruption in the Arab world that has a ratio of 80% Muslims and the birth of the religon, and that being a brother or sister is last in anyone’s mind. Like the crap I have been reading of excessive murders of innocent people, rape, etc. What the hell? This is how you define brothers and sisters? Is this how you use religion or even speak of the name of religion?

Not only that, it seems that all the mass revolts and destruction happen on Fridays, right after prayer. Friday is our holy day to make peace with our selves, ask God for forgiveness, and spread the love and prosperity between our people. Now, in the Arab world they are using it to spread hate and invoke people to defy the rules. I understand the frustration of living in a corrupt political system and totalitarian rule, but give me a break. This is not a way to resolve things and just using religion to justify what you are doing.

I think my brothers and sisters, my Arab friends and distant blood relatives living in the most critical, beautiful, magnificent portion of the world, I understand the boiling blood permeating through your veins. I understand your anger and frustration of being great nations labeled as 3rd world countries because of the injustice and corrupt political systems. I understand how you desire basic human rights and freedom of voice and choice. However, why is the devil playing with your minds making you believe that force, corruption, hate, and extreme violence is the answer?

All I can say is stop the madness. Nothing good is coming out of this.

Religion, They said what?, Whatever!

Title: Abu Dhabi hotel apologizes for $11M Christmas tree

Abu Dhabi hotel apologizes for $11M Christmas tree

Emirates Palace hotel in the United Arab Emirates erected a 13 metre Christmas tree adorned with $11 million worth of jewels. They now regret it. Is the tree in bad taste or should we loosen up and enjoy the elaborate gesture?

The folks in Abu Dhabi have received international attention after luxury hotel Emirates Palace decked out a 13 metre Christmas tree with $11 million worth of jewels. The government news agency has now issued a statement saying they regret the “attempts to overload the tradition” of decorating a tree for the holiday season. The statement was issued after critics condemned the tree as being in bad taste.

At first this story did not compute for me. Emirates Palace, a hotel in a predominantly Muslim country, has erected a giant, jewel-covered Christmas tree?! Something has gone awry in the world. It turns out that in the United Arab Emirates many hotels follow the tradition of putting a tree up in the lobby, to make visitors from abroad feel welcome.

I can appreciate the gesture though the irony of it leaves me wondering if extreme cultural sensitivity only occurs in Canada. Here, schools are removing ‘Santa’ images and have replaced the term ‘Christmas concert’ with ‘winter concert,’ leading some to speculate about our country’s cultural compassion and its ability to kill Christmas. Meanwhile in the Muslim country of UAE, publicly displayed Christmas trees are commonplace.

That said, this particular tree – described as the most expensive tree in the world – is a gaudy, tacky, tasteless PR stunt. I understand an ambitious attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records, but if you were decorating a tree to truly show your holiday spirit, perhaps you’d be better off with a tree that is dressed by the community and not an overzealous jeweler.

A more modest tree might have done a better job of not rubbing in the fact that you’re one of the wealthiest cities in the world. Abu Dhabi holds 9% of the world’s oil reserves. We get it. You’re rich. You’re really rich. No need to shove it in our faces, especially not during a time when the emphasis is meant to be on giving. There are so many better ways to spend $11 million.

If the hotel and the country truly wanted to draw positive attention to themselves they should have donated a large portion of the $11 million to the countries starving labourers, who for twenty years have worked tirelessly to build the UAE up to its current state of metropolitan glory.

Oh the poor people of my home land Palestine. That money could have fed a family or two for the next couple of centuries.
