For Those Who Missed It



دور الديوان الملكي في فضيحة البندر وتأجيج الطائفية.. وقضية الانتخابات..وماذا نعمل؟

كلمة عبدالهادي الخواجة في الاجتماع الحاشد في المنامة بمناسبة ذكرى استشهاد علي بن أبي طالب (ع)
13 اكتو بر 2006

السلام عليك يا علي بن أبي طالب، يا أمير المؤمنين:
· يا رمز وحدة المسلمين
· ويا رمز الديمقراطية وحقوق الإنسان قولا وفعلا
· ورمز العدالة الإنسانية محكوما وحاكما
· والمدافع الأول عن الفقراء والمحرومين
· ونموذج البطولة والشجاعة وتحمل المسؤولية
· وضحية الفتن والاغتيال السياسي

لقد قلت يا علي: و أنت الحكيم والصادق في قولك: "وما معاوية بأدهى مني، ولكنه يغدر ويفجر" ..
لقد تحدثت عن الغدر والفجور السياسي، وهانحن نرى هذه الصفات بارزة فيمن يتآمرون علينا.
· فقد شهدنا في هذا البلد نكث الوعود فيما يتعلق بالدستور والميثاق
· وعانينا التضييق على الحريات بعد الوعود باطلاقها
· ونعيش تزايد الاستبداد و الديمقراطية المشوهة
· ونرى نهب أموال النفط، وسرقة الأراضي كما لم يحدث من قبل
· والتجنيس السياسي على قدم وساق لاستضعاف الشعب، وضرب الناس بالناس
· و أخيرا وليس آخرا المخطط الطائفي والشبكة السرية:
Ø وصرف الملايين من أموال الدولة على إضعاف المؤسسات والجمعيات المستقلة
Ø وضرب وتهميش طائفة معينة، وضرب رموزها ومؤسساتها، وخلق بذور الفتنة الطائفية
Ø ووفقا للبندر، مستشار رئاسة الوزراء السابق ، فان المخطط ان يتم تجنيس 8 آلاف سنويا، ولكن ازدادت الوتيرة لتستهدف 20 ألف في السنة، وانه يقدر عدد من تم تجنيسهم 70-80 إلفا، والحملة متواصلة.
Ø واخشي أننا نشهد الأيام الاخيرة لهذه المناسبات وهذا العزاء في المنامة. فليس فقط تحولت المنامة إلى 70% من الأجانب و إنما تم الآن تجنيسهم خارج القانون، وأصبحوا أبناء البلد، وسرعان ما يطالب ممثلوهم في البلديات والبرلمان بوقف هذه المناسبات باعتبار إنها لا تتعلق بهم وتسبب لهم الإزعاج، وهم يمثلون الأغلبية في المنطقة وليس غيرهم.

ولكن من وراء كل هذه المؤامرات الخطيرة على الشعب؟
كل الدلائل تشير إلى أن الملك نفسه هو وراء ذلك:
· فهو من غير الدستور وجاء بالديمقراطية المستبدة، وأناط جميع السلطات بنفسه
· وهو من اصدر مرسوم توزيع الدوائر الانتخابية الطائفي الذي يجعل من سكان مناطق معينة اقل قيمة من غيرهم
· وهو من يولي ويعزل من المناصب، وزاد في عهده التمييز والامتيازات
· وهو الذي يمارس التجنيس السياسي الطائفي
· وهو من ينهب الثروة ويحتكر ملكية وتوزع الأراضي في جميع البر والبحر

لذلك ليس غريبا أن يكشف لنا تقرير البندر تورط الديوان في المخطط الطائفي والشبكة السرية الإجرامية؟
· فالمخطط المتعلق بتجنيس عشرات الآلاف، يتم تنفيذه عبر لجنة التجنيس بالديوان الملكي
· ويتم في الديوان توزيع الأراضي كهبات لشراء ذمم الصحافيين و النشطاء والسياسيين وبعض رجال الدين
· وان الذراع الإعلامية للمخطط الطائفي والتي تتمثل في صحيفة الوطن - والتي دأبت منذ صدورها على إثارة الفتنة الطائفية- يشرف عليها ويساهم في تمويلها ناصر محمد لوري، وهو الوكيل المساعد بمكتب رئيس الديوان الملكي محمد بن عطية الله آل خليفة. وهو على صلة بلجنة التجنيس بالديوان
· وجمال العسيري، المشرف على المجموعة الإعلامية في التنظيم السري والقائم بأعمال رئيس تحرير جريدة الوطن، هو مستشار رئيس الديوان الملكي للشئون الإعلامية.
· اما المشرف الميداني للمجموعة الإعلامية المصرية - وهم ثمانية أشخاص يعملون في صحيفة الوطن ووزارة الإعلام والجهاز المركزي للمعلومات وفي مركز الرأي العام الذي أنشأه التنظيم السري - فهو مستشار مصري يعمل بالديوان الملكي.
· وهكذا يصبح من السهل أن نعرف من هي الجهة التي تضع ملايين الدنانير في حساب بيت التمويل الكويتي والتي تحول إلى حساب بنك البحرين الشامل، والذي يتم عبرها تمويل المخطط والتنظيم السري ودفع رواتب ومكافئات القائمين عليه.

إذن من هم الرؤوس الفعلية وراء المخطط الإجرامي والشبكة السرية والذين لم يذكرهم التقرير؟
· إن الشيخ محمد بن عطية الله آل خليفة - رئيس الديوان الملكي، الذي يقوم هو ومساعدوه ومستشاروه بالإدارة التنفيذية للشبكة - هو اليد اليمنى لوزير الديوان الملكي، الشيخ خالد بن أحمد آل خليفة. وان الشيخ خالد بن أحمد هو اليد اليمنى لملك البلاد، فهو الذي يستدعي الشخصيات ورؤساء التحرير والنواب ورجال الدين ويرغبهم أو يهددهم باسم الملك، وهو الذي يدير الحكومة الخفية العليا في البلاد.

فمن هو الشيخ خالد بن احمد وكيف يفكر، ولماذا أصبح الشخص المعتمد من قبل الملك؟
في بداية أحداث التسعينات عام 1995 كتب احد شعراء العائلة الحاكمة شعرا نبطيا أرسله إلى الشيخ خالد بن أحمد، فرد عليه خالد بن أحمد بقصيدة أخرى تكشف حقيقة شخصيته ونواياه تجاه الشعب وبالذات الشيعة.

ويلاحظ أن ما جاء في هاتين القصيدتين ينطبق تماما مع الإستراتيجيات التي تم اعتمادها في القتل وقمع التحرك الشعبي في منتصف التسعينيات وكذلك في المخطط الطائفي الذي تم الكشف عنه الشهر الماضي. ومن تلك الاستراتيجيات الإقصاء من مناصب الدولة، ومنع الشعارات في العزاء، واستخدام القوة والقمع، والاستعانة في ذلك بأبناء القبائل الذين يتم جلبهم من الدول الأخرى. وتعبر القصيدتان عن الخلفية النفسية العنصرية التي تبرر إستراتيجية الإقصاء والتمييز و الإذلال التي تتبناها الأسرة الحاكمة في التعامل مع أبناء الطائفة الشيعية.

القصيدة الأولى من أحمد بن محمد آل خليفة إلى الشيخ خالد بن أحمد آل خليفة، ويقول فيها عن الشيعة:

وش عندهم ابناء شبر ومرهون
[1] ضجيجهم عالي بليا سبايب
في كل يوم بالقرايا
[2] يحرقون ومحد من الشرطة ولا الحكم هايب
ان كان هم للحكم ياشيخ يبغون تراها علينا من كبار المصايب
الحكم ما يصلح لهم لو يصرخون نحاربهم في حزة الضيق نايب
عشنا معاهم طيلة اعوام وقرون ما ساعدونا في الوغى والنوايب
جيوشنا من خارج الدار ياتون
[3] ويآزرونا بالسفن والركايب
وعيال شبر مانرى منهم العون والظن فيهم طيلة العمر خايب
ترهم الى جات الصعايب يخافون مافيهم اللي ينتخي للحرايب
رحنا الى بعيد العرب نطلب العون
[4] وعلمنا معاشرهم ولوهم قرايب
العجم داسوهم وهم يستذلون
[5] ومحد رفع لهم صوت بالطلايب
والبرتغال
[6] خلا نساهم يحملون من السفاح وصيدهم في الخرايب
ولازالوا حتى اليوم بالعار يمشون عيونهم (خضرا) لذيك السبايب
واللي عليه العار يركع مع الهون ويعيش في الدنيا ذليل وخايب
رووهم الشدة ابد لا تغفلون
[7] بلادكم لا تجعلوها نهايب
كلهم من (الجشة)
[8] اتونا يسبحون ومن القطيف ومن جميع الخرايب
كلهم اجانب عقبنا جاو يلفون
[9] دار العتوب اهل الصخا[10] والوهايب
وتاريخهم كل الملا عنه يدرون والتو كعام الضد يوم الحرايب

اما القصيدة الثانية فقد اجاب فيها خالد بن أحمد آل خليفة
[11] وزير الديوان الحالي، بالتالي:

عندي دوى
[12] أولاد شبر ومرهون يابو محمد يا بشير الحبايب
تهجيرهم لحوار وجنان مع نون
[13] اهل السمك يلقون فيها كسايب
مع صارم يلمع وصقيل ومسنون ينثر دماهم من عليهم سكايب
قرعان مازادوا ولوهم يزيدون اهل الخنا
[14] ويا المكر والمصايب
نمنع عزاهم
[15] في الشوارع يدورون شيلاتهم ترمي علينا سبايب
وكل مركز حساس منه يشلون
[16] الايام راوتنا من فعلهم غرايب
يبغون حكم الدار بالعد يعنون كثرة عددهم جعلها للنهايب
ماعمرهم شاخو
[17] ولا كان كان يبغون غير النخل ويا قليل الركايب[18]
وماعمرهم صدوا عدو وملعون وما كان فيهم غير عايب وخايب
وما عمرهم غاصوا مع اللي يغوصون غبات ظلما في وسطها نوايب
عقب المراكز بالمراكز يمارون
[19] من ذاقوا السلطة سعو للسبايب
ياشيخنا المنصور نفداك لا تهون شيفيد لي منها اوصلت للشرايب
دونك عيال في الشدايد يعدون ارخي عنان خيولهم للحرايب
[20]

والآن.. مالعمل في مواجهة هذه المخططات الإجرامية، وخصوصا ان من يقوم بها هم أعلى رؤوس في السلطة؟
لقد اعجبني ما طرحه الشيخ عيسى الجودر قبل عدة ايام في ندوة سترة بشأن تقرير البندر، وادعوا الى نشر كلمته القيمة وتبني المطالب الأساسية التي وردت فيها.
· هذا الشيخ الذي اخترق جدران الطائفية
· وصمد بأقصى ما تتطلبه الشجاعة منذ موقفه مع العريضة الدستورية في بداية التسعينات، رغم تخاذل العديد غيره. وان الذين تخاذلوا بسبب الإغراءات في ما يسمى بفترة الانفتاح أكثر من الذين تخاذلوا أيام الخوف والقمع. وصمد هذا الشيخ الجليل في المرحلتين، واثبت بأن الشجاعة والمروءة لا حدود طائفية لها.
· هذا الشيخ المتواضع، الشيخ عيسى الجودر، جعلتنا كلمته التي ألقاها في ندوة سترة الابية، أمام الحقائق وجها لوجه، وطالبتنا أن نرتفع على ضعفنا وخوفنا ومصالحنا الآنية
· لقد حدد في كلمته التاريخية مطالب بليغة واضحة، وأنا أدعو الى تبني هذه المطالب، و أدعو كل مواطن وكل غيور ان ينشر تلك الكلمة، ويتبنى تلك المطالب
· لقد دعا الشيخ عيسى الجودر دون مواربة وتردد الى:
1. ديوان ملكي بدون سلطات: لوقف دوره الخطير في التآمر الطائفي والتجنيس ونهب الاراضي
2. وحكومة جديدة تحظى برضى الشعب، وليس الحكومة التي قادت البلاد منذ 35 عاما، وافسدت وقتلت ابان امن الدولة
3. وبرلمان منتخب كامل الصلاحيات، يستطيع ان يشرع وبحاسب وينشئ لجان تحقيق قادرة على الوصول الى نتائج
· هكذا يتم تحديد الشعارات والمطالب، وليس ان نطالب بالقليل ظنا منا بأنها هي الطريقة الواقعية للحصول على الحقوق. واني ادعوا القوى السياسية و أبناء الشعب أن نكون بنفس الشجاعة، وهي شجاعة علوية، وان نرفع سقف مطالبنا، وان نتبنى هذه المطالب ونكتبها ونرفعها في كل مكان.

شارك في الانتخابات أو لا تشارك:
· المهم أن لا يتحول ذلك إلى خلافات ومعارك تزيد في إضعافنا، ومن يفعل ذلك يشارك الحكومة في تحقيق أهدافها
· والمهم أيضا أن يحدد ويثبت المشاركون كيف سيستفيدون من مشاركتهم في الدفاع عن حقوقهم وحقوق الناس، وكذلك يحدد ويثبت المقاطعون كيف سيستفيد الناس من مقاطعتهم
· ولكن يلزم علينا جميعا في يوم الانتخابات أن نلبس السواد ونرفع الأعلام السوداء تعبيرا عن المظلومية والاحتجاج على التمييز والانقلاب على العهود المتعلقة الميثاق والدستور والديمقراطية
· ويلزم علينا أن لا نحول الانتخابات أو النجاح فيها إلى أفراح وانتصارات، فذلك يخالف تصوراتنا جميعا ويجعلنا في حالة الخداع للذات، وشعور بانتصار غير حقيقي
· شارك في الانتخابات أو لا تشارك، ولكن يجب أن لا تغفل عن ما تقوم به السلطة من جرائم، وان لا نتهاون عن التحرك بشأنها وذلك بأقصى ما نستطيع ولا نتعذر عن ذلك ونؤجل بحجة الانتخابات، فتموت القضية.
· شارك أو لا تشارك، ولكن لا تتخلف عن التحرك الشعبي والفعاليات الشعبية الاحتجاجية التي يدعو لها المشاركون او المقاطعون، والتي تبقى الضغط على السلطة وتعمل على الحد من عدوانيتها ومفاسدها، وفضحها في الداخل والخارج

زيارات العلماء إلى الملك:
· أمامنا صورتان، للعلماء، ومن ينسبون أنفسهم لعلي ابن أبي طالب.
· فعلماء بعمائم بيضاء وسوداء يستجيبون لدعوة الملك الرمضانية، ويأكلون على مائدته ويبتسمون في وجهه، وكأنهم يقولون له بارك الله فيك على ما تفعل
· ولكن هناك صورة ثانية: وهم العلماء الذين أيضا توجهوا للقصر، ولكن للتعبير عن قلقهم وقلق الناس للجرائم التي يقوم بها الديوان الملكي والحكومة. ويقدمون المطالب ويطالبون بالإجابات العملية والحلول الحقيقية وليس الوعود.
· ونحن نعلم جميعا بأنها ليست المرة الأولى التي يقوم العلماء الأفاضل بذلك. ويعطيهم الملك الوعود الكاذبة وينكث معهم العهود. ومن جرب المجرب حلت به الندامة
· ولكن الفارق سيحدث إذا تحرك الناس بشكل متواص متصاعد وضاغط، عند ذلك فقط سيضطر رأس النظام للنظر في طلبات العلماء وغيرهم من المخلصين في هذا البلد.

ختاما:
· إن الأداة الوحيدة التي نمتلكها هي التحرك الشعبي، وبدونها لا تنجح مشاركة ولا مقاطعة، ولا ينجح سياسيون ولا رجال دين.
· فلا مجال للناس أن يتنصلوا من مسؤولياتهم ويضعوها على الجمعيات أو الشخصيات والرموز، فليتحرك الأفراد، وللتحرك المجموعات في أماكن العمل وفي مؤسسات المجتمع المدني وفي المناطق، لأن الضرر يمس الجميع ولن يوفر أحدا. والمسؤولية على الجميع. ويقول تعالى:
"لا يغير الله ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم"
"قل اعملوا فسيرى الله عملكم ورسوله والمؤمنون"
· والسلام مجددا على إمامنا ونموذجنا الأعلى أبي الحسن علي بن أبي طالب (ع)، الذي نحتذي به في نظم الأمر كما أوصى الحسن والحسين (ع)، وفي التنازل وتفادي الفتنة ما سلمت أمور المسلمين كما فعل أيام الخلفاء الراشدين، وفي الشجاعة والبطولة والحسم في مواجهة من يدعو إلى نظام عشائري مستبد، ومن ينهب ويقمع ويشتري الذمم ويمارس الفجور والغدر، ويفرق بين الناس على أساس عنصري، ويستخدم أبناء القبائل لضرب المخالفين ولضرب بعضهم ببعض، كل ذلك لهدف واحد هو أن يتسيد على الناس رغم إرادتهم، وينهب الأموال العامة دون حسيب أو رقيب.

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

It’s Alive!



Hello People,

Sorry that it took me way to long to get back on my “feet” and start posting again. I needed a little bit of time off to sit and relax.

If you don’t know, I finished my studies and graduated, and I am currently working with the family company as a site engineer. Beware! I might be doing your road next! Just kidding.

Anyways, I will be posting again, news and stuff. I mean I have to, since Bahrain is full of news these days hehe.

Take care all, and God bless you

Understanding Engineers

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
---------------------------------------------------------
What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechs build weapons and civs build targets.
----------------------------------------------------------
The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, 'How does it work?"
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
------------------------------------------------------------
Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
-------------------------------------------------------------
And One Of My Favourites
An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to his pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want."

Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, exasperated the frog asked, "What is the matter with you?
I've told you that I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, 'Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."

Quote To Remember

A Kingdom Without A King

That’s the situation in The Kingdom of Bahrain.

I mean, there have been many things happening in Bahrain lately, but no actions by the king.

Or is the country “United Kingdom” wannabe? The UK has a way better parliament than us though. Then what is it exactly?

Give us a good parliament?

I have two things to say:

One: Either we (people) get the right to make our future and get our rights.

Two: Or as the term used in the business industry say, if you can’t do your job right, then quit!

Lily

Or the official name Calla Lily Terracotta




Which I do not know what it is exactly, but it sure looks nice.
Well, Mahmood is the expert, maybe he can enlighten us by giving some info on this beautiful flower.

The Story

I went to a supermarket last week to get some groceries, as I was walking through the ails, I came across a nice section of plants and flowers. I have always wanted to get a plant and have it in my room, to add natural look.

So I browsed the section, and came across this deal. Where you get the full luxury to plant from scratch. I was so excited about this that I had to get it, so I did.

Came back home, entered my room, and started planting. The procedure was very simple and straight forward. Hey, ofcourse it is, but bare in mind that the only time I did a similar project was in kindergarden where I had to bring a small plate, cottons, water, sugar, and small seeds or some sort. And the thing would grow in matter of days, which was cool. Anyways that was over 20 years ago.

Back to the future. I got my sister's digital camera (mine was stolen a week ago) and started shooting a step by step planting sequence of Lily (that's what i call her).

In this picture, i removed the cover surrounding the pot and inside there are the compost.

There is the normal dark moisten "sand" and shreaded wood (which i dont know what is it used for)

I opened the bag of "sand"

And gently throw it in the pot

Pic showing "sand" in pot

This is the seed, or rhizome. It should be placed 5cm deep, and "eyes" facing upwards

5cm deep, "eyes" facing upwards

I covered it with "sand" then I placed the shreaded wood on top (dont ask why)

Placed it infront of me close to the window, so it could get some sun, and a nice view.

hopefully, when it grows, it will look something like this.

If not its written on the cover that "We are happy to refund or replace any product which falls below the high standard you expect"

In other words, if it dies (god forbids) i can have another one :D

But i am taking a good care of Lily, she will grow and blossom nicely.

Thank You

Strike

Many universities across the United Kingdom announced a strike on the 7th March 2006. The strike will be participated by academic staff demanding more pay. Because in the last 30 years, the pay has decreased dramatically, and it is getting worse.

What lead to the strike is since the top up fee was introduced by the government, the parliament promised that third of that fees will go to increase the salary of the staff. However that did not happen, so it is a promise that was not kept.

The staff will not be lecturing, and will not answer any student inquiry. Some say the strike will be for one day only, till a negotiation is held to meet the demands. Others say the strike will continue till the demand is met.

Now, this will greatly effect the students, that’s if the strike continues, and will effect the exams as well.

As for me, I just hope it goes all well, so I can graduate and return home. If you give a promise, you should keep it.

Detainee Story

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
وصلاة وسلام على سيدنا محمد و آله الطاهرين
و آلعن الدائم على أعدائهم إلى قيام يوم الدين


في الزيارة الأولى لمُعتقل الرأي و الحرية الأخ حسن عبد النبي حسن 24 عاما من قرية سترة .
صرح أنه و بعد محاكمتهم الجائرة تم نقلهم إلى سجن جو ، حيث تم هناك تفريق المُعتقلين إلى سجون مُختلفة حيث لا يمكنهم رؤية كل منهم الأخر ، و أما عنه فقد وضعوه في حجرة مع مُعتقلين جنائيين ياعنون من أمراض و إلتهابات جلدية كـ "الجرب" و الحساسية و الحكة ..... ) و مُجرمين مُدانين بالقتل و المُخدرات ، الأمر الذي أثر سلباً على نفسيته داخل المُعتقل ، فطالب بنقله إلى عنبر أخر ، لكنهم رفضوا طلبه ، فأضرب عن الطعام فوضعوه في سجن إنفرادي الأمر الذي أسهم في زيادة تردي أوضاعه الصحية فضلاً عن النفسية .

و بعد مرور يومان داخل السجن الإنفرادي و أضرابه عن الطاعم سقط من شدة المرض و الجوع ، مما أظطرهم إلى نقله إلى مُستشفى العسكري ، و بعد مُعاينته من قبل الطبيب قرر ـ أي الطبيب ـ بقاؤه في المستشفى "ترقيده" لمتابعة العلاج و وضعه تحت المراقبة قحالته الصحيةلسيئة جداً ، إلا أنهم ـ أي موظفوا الأمن ـ رفضوا بقاؤه في المُستشفى و أصروا على إخراجه و إعادته إلى السجن .

وعندما سأل المُعتقل حسن الطبيب : هل ستسمح لهم بأخذي قسرا إلى المُعتقل "السجن" ؟ أجاب الطبيب : بأنه لا يُمكنه إجبار المريض على البقاء في المُستشفى ولا إجبار المسؤول عن المريض أخذه من المُستشفى ، غير ان من يعارض مُشورته لابد لهُ من توقيع تحملهُ مُسؤولية تبعات إخراجه إذا تردى وضعهُ الصحي .

فأنتظر موظفوا الأمن وقت تبديل الزامات وتم تغيير الطبيب المُناوب و حضور طبيب هندي الجنسية ، و طلبوا منه تقرير يسمح لهم بأخذه دون الحاجة إلى بقاؤه "ترقيده" بالمُستشفى، فصرح لهم بذلك .

وهو الأن يعاني من ضعف شديد في المستوى الصحي و النفسي و الجسدي .
و إننا إذ نحمل السلطة المعنية المسؤولية الكاملة مما يعانيه المعتقل حسن عبد النبي حسن ، وما قد يترتب على هذه المُعاناة الأليمة ، كما و نناشد جمعيات حقوق الإنسان و الجهات المعنية و الجمعيات الأهلية للقيام بواجبهم أتجاه المعتقلين و مساندة المعتقل للخروج من هذه المُعاناة الأليمة و مد يد العون و المُساندة لتحسين ظروفهم داخل المُعتقل .


ما ضاع حق وراءه مُطالب

Trasnelation is:

Upon the first visit to the detainee Hassan A.Nabi Hassan (24 yrs) from Sitra, he stated that after the unjust sentence given by the court, they (the others sentenced with him) were transferred to Jaw prison where they have been taken to separate cells where they cannot see one another.

As for Hassan, he was placed in a cell with convicts suffering skin diseases (itching, allergies), and murder and drug convicts which has affected him tremendously.

He requested to be transferred to a different area, but was refused. So he began a hunger strike, and because of that he was sent to an isolated cell, which affected his health.

After two days in isolation and on hunger strike, he fell unconscious as a result to hunger and health problems. The police were forced to take him to the hospital to be treated by a doctor. The doctor advised him to stay to continue his treatment because of the bad condition he was in. However, the police refused and wanted him returned to prison.

The detain then asked the doctor “would you allow them to take me back to prison by force?”

“I cannot force the patient to stay at the hospital against his wish or the wish of the people responsible for him. However, if the doctor’s advice is refused, the people responsible for taking the patient from the hospital must sign an agreement to take full responsibility if the patient’s health deteriorates.

The police then waited until the shifts changed, and the doctor replaced by another Indian doctor, and asked for a report to allowdetainainee to be released from the hospital and back to prison.

He is now suffering emotionally and healthwise...

If Only

Due to the attacks that took place to the sacred shrines in Iraq, a massive and multiple demonstrations been carried out in Bahrain. It can be clearly seen that the people of Bahrain condemn these acts of violence.

Many activities will be carried out in the following week in Bahrain for this issue, and the participation will be overwhelming. I can imagine that thousands of people will be marching the roads of Bahrain, screaming their lungs out. Which I am totally with.

However, when I read about all the demonstrations that have been held and will commence in the next few days, I couldn’t help it but to think if only.

Yes, if only the figures who called for these activites and the people who will participate in them did the same to get our rights back.

If the reactions now towards the attacks in Iraq and the participation happens exactly the same towards getting our rights back, I guarantee you that we will have them, and have them all.

If the people march the same way, and scream their lungs out the same way towards getting the constitution they always wanted, they would on a golden plate.

If these condemns by figures and the citizens towards the attacks in Iraq happen the same way towards poverty, jobs, stolen lands, corruption in the government etc. everything will be fixed.

But what can I say, sigh.

I just wish, if only.

Shrine Attacks

First, I would like to express my sadness about the gruesome attacks in Iraq that happened early this morning to the sacred Imam’s shrines. This has to be the most evil thing I have ever witnessed. I have no idea what are the reasons for these attacks, however what I am sure of that they are not related or even close for being called Muslims.

And those attacks were carried by the groups whom they say they are doing this in the name of Islam! What Islam are these people talking about?? They don’t even know what Islam means, they will all burn in hell for their doing. Not just for the attacks today, but for all the kidnapping and killings they have been doing in Iraq.

I send my sympathies to the Iraqi people, to Shia, and to all Muslims, and on behalf of me and my fellow friends, we all condemn these acts of violence.


God help us all.

Forgotten?

The detainees are still in prison, if some of you have forgotten!

Yes, they still are. Every one has been very active about this issue. Trying to help by any means necessary, to help their brethren from the evils doing.

What really suprises
me is that after the court ordered their sentence (some 2 years others 1 year), everyone was waiting something from the king for them to be released. And I believe that they are still waiting.

Nowadays, this case have calmed down, the people that were active about it before, are no longer there. Its like being in a desert. Where have you all been?

Why aren't there any activities to pressure the government to release them. Or are you people seriously going to wait for 2 years for them to be released??!!?

We have to keep it together, and fight for our rights, no matter what the costs are. Those are our brothers in jail, this is our land, and we will fight for our freedom, and claim it victoriously.

Stop! I Demand My Rights! Now!


Yeah, that’s right, I’m talking to the high authorities in Bahrain, who control every little thing in the country.

Stop fooling me around and just hand it over, please.

See, I’m being nice now, I have been nice for the last few decades. I have seen what you have done, what you have done to my people, the people who live on my land, the people who I embraced them warmly.

This is my land and my resources, and it all goes to my people, you are not among them, because you stole what is not rightfully yours.

Seeing my people being treated this way, makes me shed tears on them. Seeing my people have not got the money to buy a loaf of bread to eat. Seeing my people living in the streets having no shelter to be in.

You took everything from them, you stole it all, so you better return it back.

Enough is enough, you took it all, and by God you will not keep it all.

Do you expect me to wait till you give it back? I know you won’t, people like you are greedy, selfish, and ignorant.

I will not wait anymore, I will not sit and listen to the lies you have been spiting on me. Those days are over, a new age is about to be born, a new era.

A time where every Bahraini is happy, living peacefully with all of his rights.

I’m not going to wait anymore, I wont wait till you steal and claim everything, specially I will not let you claim my land.

I demand it all, I demand my rights, I demand my people’s rights.


I Demand Bahrain, For I Am Bahrain

Accidents in Bahrain

The reason I a’m posting this, is because I need a favor from you readers. Yes, that'’s right, a favor.

I'’m taking a course called Transportation Engineering, in this course I wrote a paper titled Road Safety in Bahrain: Speed Monitoring. Where I identified the problems regarding speeding vehicles and that this has been significantly increasing over the past few years. I then proposed a solution to this problem and try to minimize speeding vehicles.

Alright, the favor. I have to make a presentation on this now, so I will be needing some pictures or/and videos of accidents that have happened in Bahrain. Anything would do really.

You have plenty of time, the presentation is due end of March.

If you could email me to this address wafyy@hotmail.com

Oh, if anyone is interested in reading the paper, I am more than happy to post it, just let me know. As long as no one criticize it lol.


Thank You

"55555" + "خخخخخخ"

You may wonder what on earth am I talking about right. Well, let me take a moment and clarify this for you people.

I’m pretty sure that many of you use MSN or Yahoo Messenger, or any other chatting software, to chat with friends relative etc.

You’ll be making jokes sometimes, and all of a sudden you get a replay like this “555555” or “خخخخخخخ”. Now, this is a laughter! Which sounds something like khkhkhkhkhkh.

I have never in my life encountered a human being with a laughter that sounds like that, never. If, I have heard a laugh like that, I will be like “hey man, I think there is something stuck in your throat, you might want that checked”. Seriously.

That’s that, I'm not even going to bother mentioning “h3h3h3h3” or “k3k3k3k3”, let’s leave that for another post, shall we.

Spreading Peace in Iraq

Watch Me!

As soon as I watched this video, I really felt a strong rage of anger building inside of me. Why? Because of those British troops beating the living hell out of what seems to be youths.

And I thought that the British are a bit more mature and human, but I was wrong. And to prove this video is real, the British government had “acted” towards these soldiers.

Read story Here.

I still do not understand why American and British military units are doing in Iraq. I mean, okay Saddam has been removed, that’s what the US government was “after”, why stay?

Valentine in Japan

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese women are fed up with a longstanding Valentine's Day custom requiring them to give chocolates to men without getting any in return.


According to an Internet survey, 70 percent of working women said they would be happy if there was no tradition of giving "obligatory chocolates" to their boyfriends or colleagues.

Nearly 60 percent said they felt unhappy as Valentine's Day approached, citing the cost and time it takes to shop for the gifts, which are finely calculated to express just the right emotions toward a boss, a colleague or a true boyfriend.

The custom has grown into a sweet 50 billion yen ($424.6 million) market for Japan's chocolate makers, some of whom rake in 20 to 30 percent of annual profits in a few short weeks.

Confectionary maker Morozoff Ltd. is widely credited with having introduced Valentine's Day to Japan with a 1936 advertisement for chocolates, but it wasn't until two decades later that Mary Chocolate Co. Ltd. used the day to promote chocolate sales.

"Our then-president admired how American women could express their feelings to men, and thought it would be good if Japanese women could do the same," said Yoko Usami, a spokeswoman for Mary Chocolate.

A month later, on what is known as "White Day," men are supposed to return the favor, usually by giving sweets -- a task that they too are far from happy with, the survey found.

Fifty percent of men said shopping for a return present was bothersome, and they don't like to be compared with others.

"Certainly things have now changed so women can freely express their affection, so the Valentine's Day custom isn't essential," Usami said.

"But it allows people to acknowledge their own feelings, so I think it's still nice to have."

In a reflection of the changing times, perhaps, retailers say that women are now becoming much more likely to buy pricey chocolates costing up to $200 a box as a special treat -- for themselves.

I think we should cancel valentine once and for all!


Embaressing Moment

Valentine’s Day



Today marks 14th February 2005, aka Valentine’s Day.

Millions of couples around the world celebrate this occasion by organizing a romantic day with their companion and do something very special.

This is mostly a west tradition; hence it is not practiced within the Arab – Islamic region.

However, I have noticed in the past few years that this “western tradition” became very popular in not just the Arab countries, but I personally noticed this in Bahrain.

You could actually see couples going on a shopping spree; trying to get flowers, hearts, chocolates, teddy bears…etc you name it.

I’m not saying its right nor wrong, its sweet in a way, it’s just not me adopting traditions from another place, specially the west.

Do we really need a day to express our gratitude to our loved ones? Can’t we just appreciate them every single day? I say we make valentine’s day an everyday basses.

Therefore, me and my wife decided to take the effort and make a day for ourselves, and call it “Our Day” hehe… we did not name it yet, but will be soon. I’m still not sure what will the plane be on this day, and what we might be doing. What I do know is it will be super awesome.

17 Year Old Girl Sentenced To Death

Iran Focus

Tehran, Iran, Jan. 07 – An Iranian court has sentenced a teenage rape victim to death by hanging after she weepingly confessed that she had unintentionally killed a man who had tried to rape both her and her niece.

The state-run daily Etemaad reported on Saturday that 18-year-old Nazanin confessed to stabbing one of three men who had attacked the pair along with their boyfriends while they were spending some time in a park west of the Iranian capital in March 2005.

Nazanin, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, said that after the three men started to throw stones at them, the two girls’ boyfriends quickly escaped on their motorbikes leaving the pair helpless.

She described how the three men pushed her and her 16-year-old niece Somayeh onto the ground and tried to rape them, and said that she took out a knife from her pocket and stabbed one of the men in the hand.

As the girls tried to escape, the men once again attacked them, and at this point, Nazanin said, she stabbed one of the men in the chest. The teenage girl, however, broke down in tears in court as she explained that she had no intention of killing the man but was merely defending herself and her younger niece from rape, the report said.

The court, however, issued on Tuesday a sentence for Nazanin to be hanged to death.

Last week, a court in the city of Rasht, northern Iran, sentenced Delara Darabi to death by hanging charged with murder when she was 17 years old. Darabi has denied the charges.

In August 2004, Iran’s Islamic penal system sentenced a 16-year-old girl, Atefeh Rajabi, to death after a sham trial, in which she was accused of committing “acts incompatible with chastity”.

The teenage victim had no access to a lawyer at any stage and efforts by her family to retain one were to no avail. Atefeh personally defended herself and told the religious judge that he should punish those who force women into adultery, not the victims. She was eventually hanged in public in the northern town of Neka.

Im not sure how true this is, but it is very shocking.

Is It Really Freedom Of Speech?

I’m not really sure about the whole issue of the cartoons that have been published in many newspapers around Europe. Not to mention the reaction of Muslims around the globe.

It started in Denmark, and then to France... etc
Then Jordan published some of the cartoons as well.

They all say its freedom of speech, but it back fired at them strongly.

So, does that mean freedom of speech has its limit?

If Muslims just ignored this issue, will it become a habit that Islam will be insulted? (It’s not like it haven't been for that last decades).

And if the Muslims react strongly and aggressively they're called violent and hateful.

So how should we (Muslims) react?

I wonder!!!

Please let me hear your intakes about this.

Where is Palestine??!!??



My sister recently bought a new shower curtain for your bathroom, and installed it. It is a really cool curtain because it has a big amp of the world, with all the names of the countries.

This map makes my time in the shower very fun, as I try to know where each country is located on the map. I was taking a shower today, and was doing the same thing, trying to name a country in my head and locate it, I sometimes get it right and sometimes wrong. However, after couple of wrong attempts to locate some countries, I decided to point a country i know where it is, Palestine.

My eyes went straight to the middle east, north of the gulf, where Jordan and Syria is. But i can not see Palestine. A big question mark appeared on top of my head, I started scratching the back of my filld-with-shampoo-head, wondering if I was looking at the wrong place.

I looked closely, I see the country, but i can not find its name on it, where is the name??!! I looked even closer, there was a writing, faded whitish writing, and it says Israel with a straight line pointing to the land of Palestine!!!

I was like " Thats not Israel, that is Palestine!!! Hey, Israel is not even a country, It should not even exist on the map ". That really egnited the fury inside me. I mean i really don't know what is hard about this Palestine issue, a group came to this land, killed its people and took the land and change the name of the contry to their own??????? And many say the Jews should get along with the Palestinians and accept Israel.

Read my lips, this will never happen, a day will come where Israel will have no other choice but to leave Palestine or else blood will be sheaded, mark my words. They have took it way to far, and this has to end, sooner or later it will, and the land will return to its owner.
