Christ Is
From My Country
Mohammad
Yousouf Hammoud
The
hearts, tongues, pens, and ears became
accustomed to believing, saying,
writing, and hearing that the immortal
verses of the prophets along with their
miracles and victories were merely
inspirations inspired, wills dictated,
and victories achieved by God. This
belief became fixed in the hearts and
minds of the people as a deep,
reassuring faith, which strips the
"messenger" of his personal genius,
individual will, and heroic deeds. (More)

Bloody Pentecost
By
Franklin Lamb
"I
tried to change the subject and I
mentioned my 12 year old daughter in the
States. I told Aya how much I missed her
and wished she could come to Lebanon and
the girls could be friends. “And you
could teach her more Arabic and show her
around your beautiful country and you

her for awhile?”(More) |

Mr
Bush and the Goat
By Antoun Haddad
It’s a goat”, says Mr
Bush. “You’re mistaken Mr Bush!” Responds
the rest of the world. “How could this
damn thing be a goat when we all can see
that it’s flying?” They add in
anticipation of some convincing answer.
“A goat cannot fly Mr Bush!” They
continue after waiting to no avail for
an explanation from Mr Bush, as he keeps
insisting that flying thing is a goat
and keeps trying to convince the whole
world that a goat can fly indeed!
How can Mr Bush be so
paranoid and so delusional? Isn’t he
the president of the United States?
Don’t they call him “Mr President”?
Hasn’t he been elected by the people of
the United States? ? (More) |
