Suddenly another Qa3ida branch popped up in Lebanon with no previous signs. Fatah al Islam jumped on the political scene and put forward an aggressive plan to neutralize the Palestinian camp in Naher el Bared and declare an "Islamic" state with no known Islamic jurisprudence.
The fight started with a claimed theft from a bank branch that is owned by the Lebanese ex-prime minister "Rafik el Hariri" that was assassinated 2 years ago by an unknown agent or foreign governments. The majority of Lebanese accused Syrians of this disaster influenced by the new USA agenda in the region that aims at democratizing Syria as they have done successfully in Iraq.
There are several stories for the clash in Northern Lebanon. However, what is clear now is that 75 people were killed half of them were soldiers in the army and were killed ferociously by members of Fatah el Islam. 25 from Fatah el Islam. The government claims that its army killed only one civilian while this video clip (Civilians killed in the clash in Lebanon) proves otherwise. Tens of civilians were killed and hundreds were injured.
Another article has a very special story and I would like to invite you all to check the article. It might be true or not but it has a very special point of view that deserves being explored.

Finally, please spead the word and call for the saving of civilians who are double victims from both sides and they have no asylum to seek.
Please call every human rights organization to save those civilians from the fire of Fatah el Islam, Lebanese Army and the hidden agents of Lebanese movements that are shooting at them while escaping.

GSA Elections voided
Fortunately or unfortunately, the university did not accept the elections because of too many violations. I expected that but I am not sure whether this is positive or negative.
Selfishly enough, we would be happy to get this because we can prove ourselves next time.
However, on the long run, this means that students are no longer independent in their decision and this means that we are always asking for the mercy of someone who is lazy enough to select good people to make good decisions.

Google History
Today I tried to test the history of Google search which is recorded using the Google tool bar. I was amazed to see that Google has saved everything for me since Oct. 8th, 2006. On the other computer the history should be much longer because I have Firefox there since 2004 with this Google tool bar.
As for me, I do not mind because most of my search are business-academic related. However, this feature is a dead lock for abusers and teenagers because it is easy to intimidate them now on the net by getting their Google account and then retrieve their history and use it illegally.

Cho Seung-Hui, "Ismail Ax", and James Fennimore Cooper (The Prairie)
The news emerging from V-tech two days ago was a real chock. Nobody even thought that something similar would ever happen in a prestigious academic institution where people intake the light of education and culture and come to learn how to cooperate to build a better world.
Similar to the isolated case in University de Montreal (UdM) several years ago, now the devil jumped into Virginia Tech and caused a huge loss of 33 souls. Most of them came to learn, take, and then go help advance their societies. They did not have to chance and that was their time to leave this world.
I felt terribly frustrated and could not absorb the news first. I thought that I got the wrong news because I was rushing to prepare myself to head to school and I mixed with all the sorrow news coming from Iraq every day. However, the photos did not give me more time to doubt. It was in US and this is another university being attacked by one of its students. Virginia Tech is far from Baghdad but it is facing now what G.W.Bush has created in Iraq.
However, this sadness is not the concern of most medias now. The main concern is to find a link between this guy and something Islamic. It might be especially with the "Ismail AX" written on his hand. However, there is nothing in the Islamic heritage to refer to Ismail AX.
Yes there is a story about Ibrahim AX or Abraham AX. However, nowhere in the Islamic literature an AX for Ismail is mentioned. What is the root behind this media phobia then?
GSA Elections gone
It is over now and waiting for results.
Meanwhile, I have to finish my final due today

Another day passed
Long hours and long days but finally the joy comes from the fact that people appreciate the good actions and judge correctly the bad ones.
The elections is going and three teams are doing their best to gather the maximum support. One team, however, is not accepting the fact that we are in Canada now. There is a huge cultural gap between what things should be and how things are done.
Some of the best examples on this, are the comments I am getting on this blog from one of the candidates and an ex-executive. Another executive was reported to the police also for his misbehavior and the violation of human rights and the distribution of hate speech.
After all, this is an election and will go like other elections. I have been through several ones and I still have positive feelings for our campaign. We are running by the rules and trying to win the trust of people before their votes. We could play a dirty game also and still win votes. However, this defeat the purpose the students activities are there for.
Tomorrow is the last day and counting would start after 8:00 pm. Let us see where the people trust is. Basically, if we win we will continue our life as regular. Otherwise, we would congratulate the winner and go back to our struggle for a better political environment in Concordia.
Another disaster might happen :) and the council might be filled with empty chairs that is used from time to time by some people getting cheques and accusing others of selfishness and cheap objectives.
Winning for us is a mandate that we are liable and accountable for. Winning was a game for others and sometimes an opportunity to insult the ones who supported them and basically showed them the way.
However, people are of two metallic bases. While fire create value out of noble metals, the value of low metals got deteriorated with the first test.
Let us wait till tomorrow and Good luck for United
