Here’s a very insightful excerpt from Muammar Al Gaddafi’s book, ‘The Green Book‘:
Women are females and men are males.
This is but one of the many discoveries Gaddafi unearthed in his book. That’s a fact.
It’s also a fact that The Green Book is filed under “No Shit, Sherlock”.
Who-sane’s is not a political blog, but there’s been a great deal of political turmoil in the region lately that one can’t sit and observe silently.
Frustrated Jordanians took the streets yesterday, Friday the 14th of January, the same day Tunisians put a end to an era of tyranny, in protest against the ever increasing cost of living.
Protestors mostly asked Al Rifai’s government to step down.

Were you there? What happened?
Thank you O great Tunisian people for reminding us of some of the important forgotten things in life:
I hope the bravery, determination and the sacrifices the Tunisian people have made for their freedom is contagious.
Dictators take note. This could be you.
‘Obama Does Not Mind Announcing His Islam if That Pleases Republicans‘, was one of Al Hayat’s very interesting headlines today.

WHAT?! Obama is a Muslim AND he wouldn’t mind announcing it either?
The article quotes a recent article that appeared on The Huffington Post.
What Al Hayat’s reporter and editor did not know is that the article was written by a satirical comedian! A very funny one too.
What amazes me is that even if the editor did not get it, since the article did somewhat appear as a serious one, which is the whole point of satire, but couldn’t the genius figure it out by the last bit of the article:
Elsewhere, moments after his capture in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said, “I knew I shouldn’t have signed up for Foursquare.”

- Saudi Media Fall for Muslim Obama Joke
Al Hayat should really just stick to gathering their news from main stream media. Let’s just hope they won’t take Andy’s latest post seriously!

But upon hearing and watching all the news of Park51, (twitter updates) the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, I find myself thankful for the basic human rights I’m enjoying at the moment: the freedom to practice my religion without shame or fear. Something, sadly, our Muslim counterparts in the most “developed” parts of the world are being robbed of.
Park51 Rendition
Patriotism is good, extreme patriotism, or jingoism, is not necessarily a bad thing. But when ideas stretch out to their extreme, and xenophobic supremacist ideologies lead to the utter refusal to rationalize, that is when a situation becomes serious, or even scary. And it all becomes even more absurd, and very hypocritical, when people’s rights are well acknowledged but are taken away from them. Continue reading
