بغض النظر عن جدليات المرجع
الغالب أن هذه المقولة ليست بحديث نبوي ، ولكنها حكمة أموية تعبر عن فهم عميق وقديم لديناميات الاجتماع السياسي ، وتتفق في مضمونها مع أدوات التحليل المعرفي على نحو كلي
والراصد لتطور البناء الاجتماعي الثقافي في العديد من البلدان الناطقة بالضاد ، يجد تطبيق لا يمسه نقد أو خلاف على أن الحال العربي الآني هو ترجمة صادقة لتلك المقولة
ولا يجب أن يتخبط الناقد الواعي بالتغييرات الحالية في نسق البنيوية الاجتماعية ، فما يحدث على الساحة السياسية هو محصلة عديد من العقود ، ويمكن أن تكون قرون ، من التخبط والتيه والفوضى في المجتمع
فكما أن الرقص الشرقي هو رقص البدويات قبل عشرة قرون ، تحول بفعل النغم والتشكيل الوارد من جوجرات الهند وفارس والأناضول ، ليصير معلماً تراثياً في بيروت والقاهرة ، مثلما أن الجدل السياسية في بغداد وصنعاء وتونس صار بضعة من حوار الطرشان يحاولون تقليد الديمقراطيات الغربية ، أو الهندية

وبكم الهزل والفكاهة السوداء في القاهرة والخرطوم ودمشق ، بكم سرقة أحلام المساكين وطعام الجوعى وشراب العطشى ووعي الجهال ، دون إدراك أو فهم مضامين المسئولية الاجتماعية لاستثمار روؤس الأموال وجني الأرباح.. أو حتى الزعامة
الأمر برمته يعود إلى عصر المماليك ، عندما صار العبيد ملوكاً ، وصار الملوك عبيداً ، وأختلط الحابل بالنابل بدعاوي الحق التي دوماً يراد بها الباطل

فهل يتسأل المصريون عن "تحشيش" سياسيوهم ؟
وهل يتسأل السودانيون عن "سفسطائية" قادتهم؟
وهل يتسأل السوريون عن "دموية" حكامهم؟
وهل يتسأل الليبيون عن "هزال" زعمائهم؟
وهل يتسأل الآخرون عن أية أنموذج أتى منه قادتهم..؟

الأمر برمته مدعاة للحزن القاتل وكسر الخاطر ، وضرورة البحث عن وطن بديل

بالمناسبة

أثيوبيا تكاد تكون المجتمع الوحيد في العالم الذي لم يستعمر

بينما مصر لم يحكمها مصري منذ الفراعنة وحتى مجئ جمال عبدالناصر

كلاهما مجتمع أساسه الزراعة ونهر النيل ، كلاهما قطب للأرذوكسية الأفريقية ، كلاهما يحمل هم الراديكالية الاسلامية ، كلاهما يملك أكبر الجيوش عربياً وأفريقياً ، كلاهما يطمح ليتربع على كرسي أفريقيا الدائم في مجلس الأمن ، كلاهما يعاني من الفقر (30%) والأمية (70%) و80 مليون من السكان.. كلاهما يجذب الأنظار على نحو ما

كلاهما ورد في أحاديث المصطفي علية الصلاة والسلام 

لعل المواجهة بين العملاقين ستكون سجال معرفي يندر تكراره 

أوليس..؟

عصر المماليك

 إعادة لمنشور في 2013

‏ 

 مصر في عصر المماليك ، خلال 300 عام تداول الحكم 301 سلطان ، واختلطت دماء الفرق والأنساب والألسنة ، مصر باستمرار على موعد مع محمد على جديد ، فأفهم

المماليك وليس محمد على باشا ، هم من صنعوا مصر الحديثة ، من خلطوا وافرزوا الهوية ، من ابتكروا العامية الشهيرة ، من تركوا البصمات على التاريخ الحضري والعمراني ، من جعلوا مصر قبلة للحجاج والمستشرقين والتجار والنوَر ، من حاربوا الهند وابتكروا مسبة: أنت هندي؟! ، من جلبوا العبيد الترك والفرس والسود ، من ابتكروا طبقة وثقافة الفتوات ، من جعلوا مصر تؤمن بالولاء للعسكر فقط ، من جعلوا القاهرة هى جل مصر وما عداها لا شئ ، من نشروا مصطلح وثقافة الفهلوة ، من جعلوا مصر مقام الرقص الشرقي ، من أقاموا الأضرحة لأولياء الله الصالحون ، من جعلوا مصر بوتقة ثقافية لا يدركها أهلها

ثم جاء محمد على باشا وخلفاؤه ، على أكتاف البيادة التركية ، ليستبدل العمائم بالطرابيش ، والجلباب بالسراويل ، والعلماء بالدراويش ، والحرائر بالحريم ، وأرسل مبعوثيه إلى الحجاز وأعالي النيل والبلقان والمكسيك ، ورسخ ثقافة الباب العالي والأوقاف والشقراوات والهجانة ، فكتبت القاهرة قوانينها بالفرنسية ودرست الطب بالانجليزية ونطق سفراؤها بالتركية ، وتوارث أمن دولتها فصيل متوالد من عسكر الداخلية ، وصار المصري الفصيح راقصاً مشعوذاً من القهر والكبت والتيه والألم .. ولا عجب

The best places in the world to be a rich foreigner

By Ishaan Tharoor October 22 
 

This year's iteration of HSBC's annual ranking of the best places to live as an expat, published Wednesday, ranked 34 countries on a host of indicators, such as salaries earned, the expat's quality of life and an expat family's ability to raise kids abroad. The full rankings are in this chart below. Switzerland tops the list overall, with Egypt coming last.

The bank surveyed 9,288 expats in over 100 countries, but only presented findings for countries where there were more than 100 respondents.

Switzerland topped the rankings, as it had done the year before. Over a quarter of the expats HSBC polled earned more than $200,000 annually, but also maintained a better work-life balance than in their home countries. Switzerland's beautiful scenery and lack of air pollution is a plus, with vast majorities of expat parents there saying their children lived safer and better lives than in their previous home, according to HSBC's press release.

Perhaps more interesting is the growing draw of Asia for the expats surveyed, with its booming economies presenting lands of opportunity for expats from all over the world. "Asia emerges from this year’s survey as the best region for financial wellbeing, with nearly one fifth (19%) of expats earning over USD200,000 p.a. and 65% saying they have more disposable income since relocating," says HSBC.

The rankings look rather different when you separate the findings by category. Asian countries may account for terrific remuneration, but not necessarily the greatest living experience. You'll note China is not in the top 10 countries for raising children. Many expatriates, particularly those living in Beijing, the smog-clogged Chinese capital, fear the long-term effects of the country's air pollution on their kids.

Explore HSBC's data in full through an interactive that rearranges the rankings on the basis of various criteria that you can sort and toggle, ranging from an expat's ability to assimilate to a local culture to his or her satisfaction with the country's economy. The report is connected to HSBC Expat, which provides off-shore financial services to clients.
This likely influenced the profile of the expats surveyed for the study. The scores for China and the U.S. probably don't take into account American immigrant diasporas, nor the hardships faced by a growing community of petty merchants from Africa and other parts of Asia trying to eke a living in China.

In HSBC's survey of global high-rollers, the expats in the U.S. do applaud their host country for one thing -- its education. More than three quarters of expat parents in the U.S. state educate their children. The global average in the HSBC survey was only 37 percent.

Veer & Zara

Indians are more brave in addressing the "Partition" dilemma..

The outstanding economic, demographic and cultural weights of Delhi had no match to the Islamabad's.. Certainly; the religious pros an cons among both had draw the visions, capacities and solutions..

I personally believe that the "Partition" was a political plot; which "Jinnah" was unable to properly seed or grow.. On Parallel; "Gandhi" did not object; acknowledging how religion would be a time bomb.. They both had believed that the only defuse is partitioning the parties..

Flames of War

I had spend an hour watching the latest film produced by ISIS; Flames of War; which is banned from public airing.. Thanks to Clarion Project - Addressing Islamic Extremism for sharing..

 I can concluded three issues for the thoughtful to consider:

1. Martyrdom is unprecedented weapon in modern warfare, apart from Japanese and Vietnamese heroic acts, which uneasy to deter but Nukes or Withdraw..

2. Media contents have to change to confront these enchanted enthusiastic guys, by deploying new Arabic anchors, facilitating new Muslim task-forces, and play the same but reversed tunes..

3. Despite how problematic the development of a united political will; yet it is conceivable by reduction of political agendas; then the Arabic Muslim civic societies will provide truly effective actions..

سودان الاستدامة

السودان تم اختزاله في الخرطوم المدينة ، وقد شمل هذا غالب "متعهدي" السياسة والعلم والفن ، ولعل هذا شأن كافة البلدان المتعثرة في النمو والتنمية ، حيث تتدهور الأقاليم والأمصار لصالح معقل الدرهم والقلم والدولار ، ألا وهي العواصم التي تنوء بالعشوائيات والإمتدادات العفوية التي تسمى زوراً وبهتاناً بالخطط والبرامج الاسكانية ، ولا يوجد من يستحي معرفياً ليسميها مدناً ويناديها حضر .. الأزمة كما يبدو جلياً لم تختزل وتنحسر لتكن في فرقة حاكمة وأخر تتنافس معها على حاضر ومستقبل الأمة ، ولكنها تتمدد وتتضخم لتشمل الكافة ممن تجذبهم الجرائد الصفراء والمقالات الحمراء والأحلام الخضراء ..

My Dear 40+ Professional Single Friend..

My Dear One..

You had been a bright addition to my existence.. We had shared the sweetness of honesty, innocence and goodness.. Together, we had assembled a new meaning of closeness and individuality.. Together we had defeated the taboos and the defective norms.. We had proven been Humans..

It breaks my heart observing the wonderful years slip away.. It is cordially known that we had never been meant to live alone.. Please, do not draw your coming years with loneliness.. Do not waste your amazing energy in vain.. Do not value the defective fantasies once more..

The Forgotten White Slaves

The Irish slave trade began when the Proclamation of 1625 James II required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70 percent of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.” “Ireland quickly b...ecame the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants and the majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.”

 “During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, [Oliver] Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.”
Martin goes on to explain that for some reason, the Irish slaves are often remembered as ‘indentured servants.’ However, in most cases during the 17th and 18th centuries, they were no more than “human cattle.”

هو ليس الأول بين علماء العرب الذين تنكرت لهم الأيام والناس وأولي الأمر والمؤسسات كذلك ، هو مجرد تعبير وتأكيد اضافي على حالة الإزدواجية النفسية والثقافية الني تصبغ الثقافة العربية المعاصرة ، وبكم الدعوات والمقالات حول فضل العلم والأخلاق والمساواة والتكافل والتحضر ، بكم الممارسات سيئة السمعة من الجهل والسوقية والتفاضل والتجاهل والعشوائية في الواقع العربي المعاصر

هذا يشمل سائر الناطقين بلغة الضاد ، من عرب وأشباه العرب وأنصاف العرب والمتمسحين بالعروبة فيما بين القارة الهندية والمغرب الكبير ، وفيما بين القوقاز والآناضول وساحل الصحراء الكبرى

Sacred Symbols of the Stone Age

Based on the works of Genevieve von Petzingerwww.bradshawfoundation.com/geometric_signs/index.php

Throughout the Palaeolithic era (50,000 BCE – 10,000 BCE), our distant ancestors often used cave walls and rock faces as a canvas to paint their thoughts and experiences upon. In a time dominated by hunting and survival, these images would often take the form of animals, warriors and ritualistic activity.

However, there are also a large number of strange symbols which appear repeatedly throughout Stone Age, in all areas of the world. Spirals, triangles, zig zags and hand prints were common motifs etched upon the cave walls of Europe, America, Asia and Indonesia. This begs us to ask the question, did our ancestors use symbols as a means of pictorial communication?

The oldest known geoglyphs ever recorded can be found in the Spanish caves of El Castillo and Altamira, dated to between 39,000 – 34,000 years ago. They include red ochre dots and club-shaped images known as claviforms. Genevieve von Petzinger, a cave art researcher, has recorded 28 significant symbols which appear repeatedly and consistently around the world.

Scotland Blue Print..

Across the world, there are many political movements target to break-away regions from their countries.. This is the seriousness and implications of Scotland Referendum 2014..

This is the unspoken and common worry among all ruling politicians worldwide.. If this "Legal" processing make its success in Scotland on Sep 18; there will be no excuse or justification to ignore claims for independence from any territories across the world..

This will start with Crimea, which its referendum had took place, yet rejected by the "Democratic" world, despite the presence of international monitors..

In advance to the referendum in Scotland; it is widely proven how politicians would compile false facts to reach their goals.. Despite the high HDI rank in UK in general and Scotland in particular, there are many evidences that the true facts had been carefully hidden within emotional campaigns of both parties..

Nuclear Family Needs To Die

Why the nuclear family needs to die, in order for us to live

The concept of a nuclear family is relatively recent – it is first mentioned in The Oxford English Dictionary  in 1925 – and refers to a household that consists of a mother, father and their children.  It is recent because the cost of establishing a household has been historically very high and young couples simply could not afford to do so.  It was the economic ability to live separately that then enabled the significant social change of splitting up the extended family.  History Future Now believes that the nuclear family is a historical aberration and ultimately doomed to fail.

Failed Democracy

 

The true failure of the "Democracy" is never the concept itself, but the governance tools..

If an elected politician fails, no mechanism to remove him/her from the office; till forthcoming elections take place.. Even so, lobbying would control rather than the dissatisfied public..

Political Scientists try to defend the democracy rather than rectify the gaps for potential corruption and misalignment to the public.. No one question the justification and legitimacy of Democracy as a proper ruling mechanism..

WE question the guarantees for its health, fitness and consistence..

Undoubtedly, there is no proper mechanism, therefore, people across the world are angry and eager to mob and revolt..

 

We need to rationalize the Democracy..!

 

Breaking-away.. Scotland Blue Print..

 

Across the world, there are many political movements target to break-away regions from their countries.. This is the seriousness and implications of Scotland Referendum 2014.. This is the unspoken and common worry among all ruling politicians worldwide.. If this "Legal" processing make its success in Scotland on Sep 18; there will be no excuse or justification to ignore claims for independence from any territories across the world.. This will start with Crimea, which a referendum had took place, yet rejected by the "Democratic" world, despite the presence of international monitors..

The list below tells only about the main claims in Euroasia, yet not all of them.. There are many more in Africa, Asia and South America..

Arabic re-Renaissance

Very few Arabs and Muslims; who had been gifted the capacity to scrutinize righteous from wrongdoing..  Despite how delicate to address the mostly emotional and passionate topics related to religion and mythical beliefs; these knowledge-warriors are symbols of the divine verdict to enable the nation to survive.. This survival is not meant to hurt, disgrace or defeat any other school of thought or belief, but was necessary to balance the evil powers from stimulating desires and soft spots within the humane fabric..

Prior to September 2011, there were no security domination worldwide, apart from routine criminals and outlaws.. Rare events of terrorism were easy to control and defuse; without depriving the principle rights, interests and concern of the public.. Since September 11, billion were invested in security operations and precautions that already provoke most rights.. Certainly, blames of this spiral phenomenon are pointed to Muslims..

Sexual Objectification..

During the last four years, particularly since the awful sexual harassment of female protests and journalist at Tahrir Square, the talks are endless about this phenomenon and the various social, psychological and religious implications..

The below video is a simple nice attempt to hi-light the cause-roots of the universal problem, as defined: Men are Sexual subjects, while women are sexual objectives.. Maybe the video comes for equality and feminism perspectives, yet it is good point of view should the media tycoons respect..
Certainly no...!!

Racial or Social Tension..?

State vs. People.. An American Spring..!!


It is not racial riot at Ferguson of Missouri

It is a social breakdown that Obama had escalated 

Social Estate is not only Moneys in hands, but also Inspirations in hearts, and Integrations in minds..

Statistics tell that the loud failure of Obamacare had attracted attentions away from deep poverty and inequality among disadvantaged Americans..

Also, while Immigration debate uncontrollably triggered philosophical talks, it hides sever misery among the unfortunate earlier migrants..

Despite how citizen of US and most of industrialized world, have little or no interest in world order and politics, yet the noise associated with failed attempts to contain ISIL, ASAAD, PUTIN, KIM-IL, BASHEIR, LIBYA, and EBOLA

Obama PR disasters had gone to far to contain..

The Public needs a continuous feed of victories and excitements.. The minute you stop; the second they recall your ill-deliveries..!!

Watch out for Farrakhan guys..!!

Illiberal Democracy

My respect to Fareed is undoubted and steady; yet; I can see how he is seized in advocating the "End of Time".. Liberal Democracy is widely proven inadequate for progressive realities, not because it offers no upgrading, but because it enab...les awful parasites to uncontrollably grow.. This is happening across the world, and requires no permission to grow.. Hungary took the lead of "Illiberal Democracy" in Europe, while India and Brazil will follow..!

Tango on..

Inevitably, Tango is sensational.. It is an interpretation of life.. Certainly it was not an invention of one person, but centuries of living exercises with full measures and exposures..

The secret of Tango is the Latino Passion for life, which is a distant evolution from its Latin roots.. Tango had taken Latin into another level of life, where no partition, separation or limits for the humane exercise, including all morals, ethics and philosophies..

Tango is mostly Atheist.. Yet, Monotheist..!!!!

Frank (Al Pacino) teaches the beautiful and charming Donna (Gabrielle Anwar) how to dance the tango.

No mistakes in Tango.. not like life..
If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just Tango on..!

Eid Mubarak

 

To all my Family, Friends and Colleague: Eid Mubarak May Allah swt will shower your with blessings, generosity and forgiveness
