I have seen it all. We've had family members who were imprisoned because of terrorist acts, just like any family in the West Bank... I have a cousin who was killed by Israeli forces on my wedding day, and I saw his corpse on Al Jazeera." "Of course Al Jazeera didn't report that he had been caught in cross fire between Israel and PLO forces."<br /><br /><br /><br />Zahran adds: <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"The king is trying a secular, anti-Islamist leader who wants to change Jordan through peaceful means and who seeks equal rights for Christians as well as peace with Israel, while the Muslim Brotherhood is free to preach hatred."<br /><br /><br /><br />Zahran is talking to the Israelis now and the Israelis are listening. They know what is happening on the ground in Jordan, of King Abdullah's growing weakness, and Zahran's political coalition may represent the basis for a democratically ruled Jordan, for real peace and cooperation with Israel, and the recognition of Jordan as the Palestinian Arabs' rightful homeland.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mudat Zahran is the outspoken Muslim leader of the non-sectarian coalition that wants to take Palestinian-Arabs out of the 7th Century and bring them into the 21st Century. He is an important person, one whom the rest of the world ought to be listening to, especially Americans, when it comes to looking at options for a democratic government in Jordan and resolving the Israeli-Palestinian issue. But it is certain that King Abdullah is listening to what Mudar Zahran is saying...and one can believe Zahran when he claims the king wants to silence him.<br /><br /><br />:)Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-54813854383628570732014-01-13T05:46:21.819-05:002014-01-13T05:46:21.819-05:00In reviewing Zahran's commentary in the Israel...In reviewing Zahran's commentary in the Israeli newspaper, one will see how he condemns the Hashemite Monarchy for their decades of deception. Just the titles of a few of his articles have obviously called attention to Zahran's poor opinion of the King: Is Jordan the Hashemite-Occupied Palestine?; Jordan's King Trying to Play on Israel's Fears; and Jordan's King and the Islamists: In One Boat? (http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/SearchResults.aspx?q=Mudar%20Zahran)<br /><br /><br /><br />In a Jerusalem Post interview, Zahran explained that the four separate charges against him relate to<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"incitement against the ruling political regime of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, "The court has indicted me for the crime of inciting hatred and attacking Jordan's image and the image of its one nation."<br /><br /><br /><br />But, Zahran's critique doesn't stop with Jordan's King. It includes criticism of other Islamic leadership for using the "Palestinian cause" for their own agenda.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"It is the Demonization of Israel in the Western media that is not good for the Palestinians... It is a threat to Palestinians... Arab dictators such as Jordan's current King, have been able to butcher and oppress Palestinians only because the media is busy demonizing Jews in Israel." <br /><br /><br /><br />Zahran claims that he is intentionally being targeted by the King because he speaks the truth and there are many Palestinian-Arabs who listen to him. Zahran's name was recently heard being chanted at a protest aimed at the King's mistreatment of the Palestinian Arab citizenry. His statements that the Jordanian Palestinians continue to be "treated as second-class citizens in comparison to the Bedouin and Muslim Brotherhood" seem to threaten the security of the King's position.<br /><br /><br /><br />Zahran asserts that the majority of the Jordanian population, somewhere between 60-80%, identify themselves as Palestinians with family having lived in the land now called Jordan, while the King's Hashemite dynasty originates from a small tribe in what is now called Saudi Arabia. In addition, the 'West Bankers,' Jordanian-Palestinians now living in the West Bank, have been stripped of their Jordanian citizenship.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />"The ruling Hashemites insisted that the West Bank become a part of the Hashemite kingdom as well [starting in 1948]. Then, when they retreated and ran away wearing women's clothes in 1967, they came back and told us suddenly: 'You from the West Bank are now not Jordanians any longer, you are Palestinian.'"<br /><br />"My call for a civil state that provides equality to all Jordanians including the West Bankers, East Bankers and Christians are a major threat to a King who survives on an apartheid regime...otherwise, why would the king single me out of all of his opposition members living in exile?"<br /><br /><br /><br />Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-19661302392549866132014-01-13T05:45:03.198-05:002014-01-13T05:45:03.198-05:00:)

Arab Spring Fever in Jordan...:)<br /><br /><br />January 12, 2014 <br />Arab Spring Fever in Jordan<br />JanSuzanne Krasner <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Many in the western world believe that the Arab Spring fever is by-passing Jordan and King Abdullah's government has only the challenge of containing the Syrian War from pouring into Jordan, along with an occasional protest demanding political and economic reform...and the end of government corruption. <br /><br />But, according to Mudar Zahran, one of 15 leaders of the growing "Dignity Revolution" in the Middle East, a leader of the secular Jordanian Opposition Coalition, and an outspoken critic of the Hashemite King, the realities on the ground are quite different.<br /><br /><br /><br />Zahran: <br /><br /><br />"Palestinians [of Jordan] and Bedouins, they hate the Hashemites...That is what you see today - people chanting against them."<br /><br />"All Arab countries, all of these names - Jordanian, Palestinian, a Qatari, etc. - are bogus names; they never existed...We were all Arabs and proudly so... The Hashemite regime, like all Arab regimes, works on our divisions to make us hate one another, creating bogus animosities between us. In order to make us hate each other for the last 40 years and therefore stay in power, the Jordanians of Palestinian origin were deprived of education and government jobs; no more than 10 percent of the ministers in Jordanian government can be Palestinian."<br /><br /><br /><br />It is statements like these by Mudar Zahran that demonstrate all is not well in King Abdullah's Kingdom and have gotten him indicted in a Jordanian court, in absentia, and he is now awaiting trial. If convicted by the military state security court, court officials say Zahran stands to go to prison for up to 15 years and do several years of hard labor.<br /><br /><br /><br />Meanwhile, Zahran has been living in exile with his family in the UK for several years and has been granted political asylum. During these last years he has been writing and criticizing King Abdullah II and his government through his published articles in the Gatestone Institute, the Middle East Forum and his latest articles in Israel's Jerusalem Post.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It must be noted here that Jordan, like all Arab nations, makes it lawful to prosecute any activist, peaceful or a terrorist. Zahran's articles that have recently appeared in the Israeli newspaper must have been the final straw that broke the King's back and he has been called on the carpet, according to Zahran, to be "silenced."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-10114341823556510102014-01-13T02:06:18.989-05:002014-01-13T02:06:18.989-05:00What the hell? Ash says it goes great with cookies...What the hell? Ash says it goes great with cookies......and that's food......<br /><br /><br />Colorado bill may prevent use of food stamps money to buy pot. Wait… what?<br /><br /><br />posted at 2:01 pm on January 12, 2014 by Jazz Shaw<br /><br /> <br />Admit it… when Colorado legalized recreational marijuana, some of you thought that the entire state had taken leave of its senses and the population was already well on its way to sinking into a Cheetos filled haze of confusion. But apparently there are still some sane – or at least somewhat less stoned – heads doing business out there. A bill is under consideration which would prevent make it somewhat more difficult to use cash from food stamps cards to buy pot. (You mean they can do that?) The details from Townhall.<br /><br /><br />A bill proposed this week by several Republicans would add marijuana dispensaries to liquor stores, gun shops and casinos as places where recipients of public assistance payments and food stamps can’t use their electronic benefits cards to access cash.<br /><br />There haven’t been any reports of public EBT cards being used at marijuana dispensaries. But lawmakers say pot shops should be added to the law to make clear it’s not legal.<br /><br />“We need this bill, if for nothing else, as a statement,” said Rep. Jared Wright, R-Grand Junction.<br /><br />“We shouldn’t be enabling anyone to buy a substance that is banned under federal law. It’s not a good use of taxpayer money,” he said.<br /><br />Of course, as Daniel Doherty points out, it’s not exactly a fool proof plan.<br /><br /><br />Presumably, EBT card recipients could still take out cash elsewhere — and then go and buy pot. (I hope I’m not giving anyone any ideas). But at least this kind of a law would prohibit them from flagrantly ripping off taxpayers, by making it illegal to withdraw government cash inside marijuana dispensaries.<br /><br />That’s got to count for something, no? <br /><br />We don’t want to just dismiss this plan out of hand and throw the baby out with the bong water here, guys. Okay, so in theory the pot smoker could grab some cash at the Piggly Wiggly and then head on down to Ye Olde Pot Shoppe, but consider the sequential thinking and planning that would be required to pull that off. Once they have the cash in hand they would probably have to walk past the inevitable snack food impulse purchase racks which stores always put near the checkout counters. The rows of Ho-Hos, Little Debby’s and (non-medicinal) brownies would probably be too much to resist. Before you know it the cash is gone and then they have to start the process all over again.<br /><br />Ah, Colorado. If nothing else, you’ll provide a huge boon to bored bloggers for years to come. And for that, America thanks you.<br />Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82483156707908012132014-01-13T00:45:01.257-05:002014-01-13T00:45:01.257-05:00Sounds like the Palestinians are the ones running ...Sounds like the Palestinians are the ones running the real anti-Semitism racket.Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-48783933300079014132014-01-13T00:24:37.140-05:002014-01-13T00:24:37.140-05:00That seems clear enough.

A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that "retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right." However, "not subject to retaliation" is "a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring." ('Umdat al-Salik o1.1-2). In other words, someone who kills his child incurs no legal penalty under Islamic law.<br /><br />The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but "the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour 'provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.'" And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that "Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values."<br /><br />In light of all this, until authorities get the courage to tell the truth about honor killing, there will be many more such murders.<br /><br />"Ex-resident of UAE allegedly stabbed to death by husband in Palestine," by Nasouh Nazzal for Gulf News, January 12<br /><br />Ramallah: A Palestinian woman was allegedly murdered by her husband after a dispute between him and his cousin. <br />Sources in Kofr Al Deek near Salfit of the West Bank claim that the 35-year-old mother of five, Suha Abdul Aziz Al Deek, was a respectable woman.<br /><br />“We believe that the woman was a victim of a problem that she had nothing to do [with],” sources told Gulf News.<br /><br />The alleged murder was part of an ongoing conflict between her husband, 46-year-old Abdul Moeti Fayeq, and his cousin, sources said.<br /><br />According to sources, the cousin and his family lived in Abdul’s family home in the village while Abdul, Suha and the five children lived in Sharjah.<br /><br />When they returned to Kofr Al Deek two years ago, Abdul took up a job as an Arabic teacher in the nearby village of Deer Balout.<br /><br />The dispute started when Abdul asked his cousin to vacate the house.<br /><br />The cousin refused to leave and “threatened the husband with a picture he had for the man’s wife,” said the sources.<br /><br />“The cousin and his family were forced out of the house but the husband became suspicious and could not stand the claim that his wife had been photographed with him,” said the sources. The picture was apparently just a general one taken with the cousin as they had all been living in the same house and was taken without the victim noticing.<br /><br />As a result of his distress, the husband did not go to work for five days. The family elders, meanwhile, summoned the two men for a reconciliation and the issue of the photograph was resolved.<br /><br />However, the husband could not overcome his suspicion so allegedly grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed his wife several times. The woman was taken to Yasser Arafat Hospital in Salfit where she was declared dead.<br /><br />Suha was buried on Saturday in the village.<br /><br />Her husband and his cousin have been arrested by the Palestinian Police who launched an investigation into the murder.<br /><br />“We never imagined that this respectable woman would be the victim of the family dispute,” said the sources.<br /><br /><br /> Posted by Robert Spencer on January 12, 2014Farmer Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392109642256694683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-18311910388046957032014-01-12T23:06:03.011-05:002014-01-12T23:06:03.011-05:00"You have everlasting life, as you are a part..."<i>You have everlasting life, as you are a part of the universe.
