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.
Give me a razor to shave my hair off and air my head, and to think some without head cover.
Give me thread and needle, for my tongue. I want... to sew it to my mouth... this way are my cries quieter.
Don't forget the scissors, I want to censor my thoughts!
I also need washing powder to wash my brain!
When I've washed my brain to hang it on the line so the wind can take my marks to where the Arab threw his flute.
Do you know? One should be realistic! If you find a silencer, also take it!
I want to shut my sobs in my throat when they beat me as a prostitute for the crime of love and choice.
I want a copy of my identity, to, so when the religious brothers and sisters swear at me and humiliate me in the name of preaching, I can remember who I am.
Pray to god... if you see they sell rights somewhere, buy some for me, so I can mix it with my food and deny me them before others do.
Finally, if you get some money, buy me a sign to hang on my neck... and I'll write on it in large letters:
I AM HUMAN! I AM STILL HUMAN, I AM A HUMAN EVERYDAY.

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. There will be a big scaremogering from the media in Europe about muslims and immigrants and assylum seekers and the need to bomb Iran to ruins and start a 3rd world war and how the immigrants of the brown colour from the outer world of islamia need to be castrated or integrated. And so on.


Oh, what a shame on this man for his lunacy. Oh, what a shame on the media. Oh, what a shame on people who take things out of all proportion. Oh, what a shame on extremists of any shape and colour. Oh, what a shame for us.
