The flag of Lebanon consists of two red stripes at the top and at the bottom. In the middle portion of the Lebanese flag there [...]

Posted by Michel on July 20th, 2012
Is it election year? Are they all flexing their muscles for votes? Are they really divided on these major issues? In any case, what they are doing and saying will lead to total destruction. You have Lebanese supporting Islamists, Jihadists, Salafist, … in their demonstrations, sit-ins, roads blocking and others opposing. You have Lebanese demonstrating in support of [...]

The message can’t be directed to Lebanese politicians. Those are part of the problem. They are the one fuelling the fighting in [...]

The [...]
Spring is here but Arab Spring is no where to be seen
Posted by Michel on April 27th, 2012
In early 2011, millions of young Arabs youth took the street from North Africa to the Levant passing by the Gulf to get rid of dictators and corrupt regimes. Dictators were removed in certain countries but spring never came. It seems that the Authoritarian Arab winter is being replaced by Islamist winter. Under their rule [...]

This picture is “From an American, who is not Arabic, but loves history.”
Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’.

Even though I talked about this subject before but I had to do a follow up after reading yesterday an article in Al-Nahar newspaper “ ساحة الفصل بالأسلاك ” by Samir Atallah. A great article that hits the right spots. He took us on a short and important history ride that speaks about the Martyr’s square, [...]
