Abed Hamdan

Can anybody tell me who is Macadi Nahhas , please ?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting some bloggers of http://jordanblogs.net , the Jordanian blogosphere community.

It was a great experience indeed. meeting people you know -and those you don’t know- for almost a year just through blogging and comments. The idea itself was awkward somewhat, and I never expected having so much fun with people I meet for the first time.

The most interesting thing about the people I met is their level of maturity, and their outstanding awareness, and that’s the least to say

I don’t wanna mention names right now, but you can take a look at the pics. Oh by the way, Shaden uploaded the pics of the meeting, ..she’s dead already, im convinced.

My pics are the worst pics ever; so now let the humor begins:

How did I manage to have a shining face ?? did I use Detol or Flash cleaner ?? that’s the million dollars question.

Shy ?? why, Im showing a gayish smile, does this have anything to do with the newly controversial blog aka “gay Jordan”, whose author happens to be living in Irbid ???

My leg looks more like a cow leg; Is this a sufficient proof of Darwin’s Evolution theory ??? and If so, does that make me related to the cows breed ???

and Oh, this is Khaled on my right side, and M.Q on the left side..

Khaled is starring at M.Q, and M.Q looks more like a Syrian minister, given the fact that M.Q is Syrian….

does this make M.Q a Syrian intellegince agent ??

is this a proof that Khaled works for the CIA ??

and if so, did the meeting end with a fight between the two dudes ???

man, we are so … losers, and Im a public joke already

Click here to see more pics of the meeting.

So finally I got the time to write about this special event. I had the pleasure of attending and contributing to the first international “Digital Communications and Computer Applications” conference in Jordan.

First Day:

The opening ceremony took place at Jordan University of Science and Technology (my university!), with the prescence of the minister of higher education, and the distinguished guests from all over the world ! It was a life time opportunity, to meet professors from all over the world who have Published Papers on different topics related to communications and computer applications.

The ceremony started by the national anthem, holy quran, speeches by the deans, university president, and the minister of higher education.

After that, we went for a coffee break, where we had the chance to talk to the guests. There, I talked to the team of Czech Republic. They have some amazing work in solar energy, data compression, software engineering modeling, and image processing in general.

After the long interesting coffee break, concurrent sessions took place at the “c sqaure” rooms, where each guest presented his published paper and an open discussion regarding his paper followed the presentation.

Second Day:

At 8:00 AM, the Jordan University of Science and Technology team gathered and took a bus to Jordan Intercontinental hotel, where everybody was busy attending another set of concurrent sessions and presentations by the guests. New topics for the second days. I attented the Image Processing, Computer Security, Data Communication and Computer Networks presentations.

At the coffee break, we decided to pay a visit for the “WebIT” exhibition at the ground floor of the same hotel.

A very fortunate surprise was waiting us there; it was the meeting of the fabulous team of Jeeran.com !! Jeeran is the first and the most popular company in the arab world that provides blogging servies. Jeeran is a leading company, proudly Jordanian, run by a young promising team. I had the pleasure of meeting some fellow bloggers who works for Jeeran : 7ala, Wedad, and Laith Zraikat.

Not to mention the team of Talasim.com (Zaid Qudosi) , and the blogger/photographer Sabri Hakim ( SabriHakim.com ).

Oh wait, there are more surprises !!

The post is too long already, so I will write about the most interesting team in the DCCA conference, Microsoft Windows Vista presentation and the new service of Jeeran in the next post of mine.

Actually, I met a phenomenon, a God Power. I won’t talk much about him now, but it’s enough to say for now that the title of his paper was to “Proving the Noor of Allah in the distingueshed and unique vowels of Qur’an”. He is muslim, but oddly enough, HE IS NOT AN ARAB.

To the United Nations, Amnesty International and Red Crescent

To the Kings, Princes, Presidents, Leaders of the World, and all final authorities in the international issues

To all Human Rights World Organizations, Societies and Institutions

To all journalists and media professionals

To various Islamic and religious Organizations and to the clerics who always search for truth

To every Official in every part of the globe

To the whole world, we address this letter in which we demand our right to protect one of the most important religious and historical symbols, Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is being demolished and destroyed by the Israeli occupation forces without any intervention by the side of the authorities responsible for protecting the political and religious rights. The Palestinians are trying to defend Al-Aqsa alone and are exposed to gun shots, torture and killing because they are trying to practice their religious rights of performing their prayers in the mosque, and because they are trying to defend the most important place of worship in their country, history and religion.

Israel abuses all religions on daily basis and violates the sanctity of the religious shrines by digging around Al-Aqsa Mosque near to its bases. It also does not respect freedom of expression and practice of religious ceremonies by denying Palestinians and Muslims the access to Al-Aqsa mosque for prayers. These actions contradict the human rights laws and they stand against religion and principles of humanity and justice. They also contravene with Article 53 of 1977 Geneva Protocol I additional to the Geneva Convention of1949 which bans any acts of hostility directed against historic monuments, works of art or places of worship which constitute the cultural or spiritual heritage of people, noting that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred place for Muslims and one of the religious symbols and historical monuments that means a lot not only to Muslims and Palestinians but to the Arab Homeland, the World and Humanity.

In addition to all of the above, the Israeli aggressions against Al-Aqsa Mosque are considered as a war crime according to 1998 Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Thus, Israel violates all laws, charters, rights and conventions and commits war crimes before the eyes of everybody without reaction from any official or international organization to prevent such aggression, oppression and offence to religion, law, freedom and the whole world.

In this context, we demand every person in position of responsibility, every international organization, every satellite channel, every media professional, all those to whom this letter is addressed and all those who read it to immediately demand halting violations, destruction, demolition and digging of the scared sanctities in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and ensure access to it for worshippers to practice their right of worship and stop injustice done to the Palestinian people by the occupation forces that continue to torture and kill the Palestinian citizens.

A special appeal to all Arab Leaders,

We the Arab bloggers, would like to inform you that your complete silence toward the Zionist destructive acts in Al-Aqsa Mosque is another evident on your irresponsibility, your lack of fervency and the absence of affiliation and honor values. Thus the nation, in all its great stubborn members and believers, will never forgive your silence and feebleness. And, from now on, the history will never show any mercy toward whomever squander the Muslim and Arab rights. Your people, at their moment of anger, will sue you before you being sued by God.

We will never keep silent toward our rights. From here, we announce our campaign which will never stop until we achieve justice and equity in this world.
Thus we the Arab Bloggers, will carry the Arab and Muslim voice. And we will adopt our causes by ourselves, inviting all the others to support us, and support the basic human right in guarding and protecting the religious, humanitarian and historical heritage without any negligence or weakness or falsification of truth.
Let us take part in offering a better life for all where violence toward any one at any place or time is forbidden.

We will continue demanding all the addressees of these rights that we will never waive and we will be waiting for a conceptual and practical reply from all of you.

We thank you in advance for all what you will be doing in order to achieve justice, and we will present special thanks in our blogs to all those who take a step in response to our letter.

Please reply to: bloggersvoice@yahoo.com

Best Regards

Arab Bloggers.

Yesterday I took sometime off, and watched “Babel”. I heared alot about this movie, and as a good fan of Brad Pitt, I was disappointed.

Unlike MoeY, I was not fascinated by the plot, and nothing’s so interesting about the series of events. Actually, I found it somewhat boring and too expected!

Babel is categorized as Drama/Thriller, featuring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett (Oh my!) won the oscar of Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score.

One thing I liked about the movie is the variety of cultures exposed in the series of correlated events, like the old Arab culture, the Mexican, Chinese, and the American. It also touched the exaggeration of some governments in relating everything to terror attacks.

Babel got 6/10 on my scale.

[ Update]

Aljazeera journalist asked Al-Tantawi what’s his opinion regarding the desturction of parts of Al-Aqsa. Al-Tantawi was not aware of what’s happening and was completely careless. He asked the journalist to tell him the details of the situation, and then he asked her if this is happening today…then he asked why Israel does such thing, then he said if Israel is destroying Al-Aqsa, then a strict measure should be taken to stop this attack. The Journalist asked him how could this attack be stopped ? specially that Israel prevented anybody from entering Al-Aqsa. Then he said that all Muslims in Jerusalem should stand in the face of the caterpillars, he responded ignorantly, that Palestinians should stand, and it’s their problem, men and women! (mass suicidal), then if they standed infront of the caterpillars, then all the world will support them (them as if it’s not his business), and then they should victimize themselves and shouldn’t ask anybody to stop it. The journalist told him that Israel forbid any Palestinian from entering Al-Aqsa, then he responded stupidly by answering there’s nothing called “forbid” and those caterpillars are driven by people.

Then he asked the journalist, “What do you want from me ???” . she said she wanted to hear the opinion of the AL-Azhar imam, he answered “Do you want anything else?” “Goodbye”.

[/update]

I’m irked, irritated, and sick of this!!!

but as I promised myself to respect my fellow bloggers and readers, I won’t speak dirty here.

This is what we get from Al-Azhar, and the “imam” Al-Tantawi, he speaks of Al-Aqsa as if it’s not his business!! of course!! I wonder what problems does he care about ?? and Im wondering how much does it take to bribe some people here.

blaming the Palestinians for the destruction of Al-Aqsa, as if the Palestinians didn’t suffer in the last 6 decades, and as if the whole world didn’t prevent every single penny from entering Palestine.

As if Al-Azhar did anything to Palestine.

you know what, I don’t wanna start flaming on Al-Azhar! this is not the time and place for this.

but sorry, this time, my mouth won’t shut. This is the most irresponsible, ignorant, stupid, lame, ugly, bribed, careless, and retard speech I’ve ever heard.

he speaks of actions and yet he does nothing but speaking and telling Palestinians what to do. He wants a mass suicidal sqauds of Palestinians in the face of the Israeli tanks to protect Al-Aqsa, and that’s how he will move his lazy butt and do something.

Why, of course! It’s not his screwed up responsibility. Actually, he has no responsibilities at all. Nobody does.!! just eat, sleep, and get paid for defending your Pharaoh. and That’s it!! you are Ameer el mo2mineen!
