No, I don't mean capitalism gone out of control, but brutality. In Iran a 21 year old man was today killed, because at the age of 17 he had stabbed someone to death. The family of the original victim came to watch the murderer die, and were allowed to also stab him. The mother went along.

How disgusting is this? What is wrong with this?
  1. The man was a minor at the time of the act.
  2. The mother of the murderer has now also killed.
  3. Death does not fix the original death.
  4. This does not deter anyone else from doing the same.
Why isn't the UN, the world, doing something to stop capital punishment. It should NOT be legal anywhere.

An idiot in France has killed a number of "his enemies", which include children as revenge for children in another part of the world that he probably knows NOTHING about. It is an absolute disgrace and VERY VERY sad.

He is of Algerian origin, influenced by Afghan-based, Saudi-financed idiots. He calls himself a muslim and wants to avenge muslim children who were "murdered" by jews in Israel. FOR GOODNESS SAKE - this is just a mad man. He could also have said he is from the dark-side and would kill all those who wear blue light-sabres. Or he could be a white man from Oslo who kills anyone socialist or brown or ... or....

BUT, we know what will happen now. Marie Le Pen has started it already.

11 months since I last wrote here. There has been and is so much that I want to say and that occupies my mind!

Where do I start, no continue? Okay, in stream of consciousness.

The Arabic spring

Actually I don't know what spring in Arabic is, will have to look it up. It has had some success, much uncertainty and a long way to go. BUT, well done people of these lands. You are making yourselves heard.

Neo-Nazi terror in Germany

This so-called cell of three.

It is a long time since I wrote. In this time I have been growing my second baby, and I guess that is the reason that I have not been busy with other things. There are still 3 months to go, but I cannot avoid what is going on in the area where I kind of originate from, i.e. Mid East/North Africa. This is especially true as I was in Israel for a visit just a month ago.

My first thoughts as I got on my Lufthansa flight back to Germany were "The people here are all mad".

30 years ago it started. 8 year it lasted. It effects will be felt, echoed for many decades still to come.

It put fear in the hearts of millions, cost millions of lives and unbelievable amounts of money of course.

I remember so much fear during the 8 years. It seemed never ending and was the worst thing that can happen to one. Although I saw direct effects far more rarely than those in the south and west, it did and would not stop. It went on and on. For no reason whatsoever.

What is an -ism?

It is a suffix that describes an ideology. Known examples are: Communism, Imperialism, Capitalism, Fascism, Feudalism, Federalism, Optimism, Sexism, Ageism, Judaism, etc. etc.

Another - new-ish -ism

A relatively new -ism is however the ideology that makes Islam (a religion) into a political movement. This is not necessarily a new idea, the caliphate of Islam already existed centuries ago, but the introduction of it to the wide world is new.

Once an immigrant, always an immigrant? Or does this not make any sense? In my case, however it is true. Here I want to put my point of view of immigration across. I am not going to address the whole issue of what a host country should do, how they should prepare for integration or ejection of the immigrants, etc. but how I have gone through it, my personal experience. This is obviously a short summary of the whole deal.

I became an immigrant for the first time at the age of 3.5.

Just eating my lunch, thought again of my theory... The last shah of Iran is not dead, look he is here. Don't believe me, here was the Shah. They are look-a-likes, one has to admit.

How living beings share the sun's light

The light that reaches the earth from the sun changes mostly into warmth and sooner or later leaves our globe. The sun's energy has become the life-giving current, which all take a part of. (Gottfried Schatz, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, 2.11.2009) Translation by Maryam Yahiaoui-Doktor

"The sun rose in Paderborn, with very peevish gesture. She had to indeed carry out an annoying deed.

A poem from Ghadeh Alsaman

An able poet from Syria

If you come to my home, bring me a pencil, a black pencil;

I want to draw a line on my face, so I won't be caged for the crime of beauty, also a cross on my heart so I won't be tempted!

Give me an eraser for erasing the lips, I don't want anyone to blacken me due to their redness.

A shovel, so I uproot my feminine virtues, sow my being... without these is heaven's way easier.

Es is the 19th letter of many languages.

Es means "are" in French and "is" in Spanish.

Es means "it" in German.

But, in French est also means "is".

So, writing my German essay in my exam today, I caught myself, my mistake. I had est where es belonged. Who know what else I've written, or for oder? Water for Wasser? I do hope not.

I may start a campaign for unifiying European languages...

REVOLUTION

How revolting, revolving, what is this revolution thing about? Here's a definition. Now, the firstdefintion is probably good enough to get us going:

Possibly violent change/overthrow/rejection of a government/regime by its subjects.

FOOTBALL MANAGERS SACKED

What is this about changing managers every three minutes? My club (Spurs) does it, even Chelsea does it. The most successful club/manager in England are whom? OH, Man U, and how long have they held onto their manager? Yes, 20+ years. Hmm, put two and two together people!!!!

And while I'm here: three jobs to recommend to my child to seek: Football manager, politician or banker.

Sharon - seedless & sweet (Product of Israel)

No, no, not the fat old prime minister (is he still alive? I don't care to look it up.)

I was about to wash my Sharon fruit - Persimmon that I saw this on a sticker and giggled. Well, Ariel Sharon was certainly not sweet, and probably has kids. What this did make me do was look up what this fruit is about, and it's certainly no native of the disputed lands.

Oh, how my fuse is about to blow about this "finance crisis".

First of all, I'd like to know if it's a crisis, a blip or a total melt down of the world as we've known it? I had always thought that money was meaningless, a man made concept, which didn't have any value of its own. However, if I am made to play by certain rules, i.e.

Strangely, babies do not sleep "like a baby". I.e. they do not sleep deeply and for long as long as they're tiny babies. They also do not just fall asleep randomly, they need help to sleep.

At least my baby does. So, I thought I'd try to get her to sleep earlier in the evenings, as her natural sleep time is 9.30 pm. Boy, was I wrong to do this? She can fall asleep earlier, but then wakes up only to cry for an hour or sulk, or wakes up in the middle of the night.

So, there's attachment pareting to try. But my baby cries in carriers. We've waited around & now at 4 months she can sit a bit forward, hurrah. Happier baby? Well, yes if she could sleep. She's so excited and hungry these days that she sleeps little.

So, living in a new country is always very INTERESTING. Not only due to new culture, views, people, etc. The language is highly important in this integration. Now, I learn a few new words everyday and can communicate more comfortably as a result each day.

However, yesterday walking in the park, I realised how vocabulary is formed by my lifestyle/stage. I was walking with my baby's pram, and wanted to avoid the big slugs who had come out after the rain.

So, Bush wants to drill Alaskan wilderness to get oil out. But, hey at the same time, he psuedo-threatens Iran with attacks, so the price of oil goes up. What's he going to do with Nigeria where oil infrastructure is constantly under threat? For example read this.

Maybe he should stop waving his gun about and put a thinking cap on. It is so frustrating this one man (or his successors) will essentially fully rule our lives.

So, life has been very hectic now for the past 7 weeks. My baby's just that old, and I am learning so much from her. I have already learnt much patience and spontaneity. I have also learned to be much less selfish, more organised and how to read someone else. With her honest behaviour, there are no games to play, and I play no games with her. It is just totally wonderful.

She is beautiful even when she cries. That's her only way of communicating, so I just try to help her through it.
