A would have been nation

"Do you Christian, take your fellow Muslim as your compatriot, to accept and to hold, forming together a great nation, that none can do apart?"These words resonated in Christian's ears. Can I take a vow that many before us have broken? Can we defy history,...

The Truth

More and more, we are surrounded by an artificial world.Some people would even find it awkward to live within nature.That is because humans are getting farther and farther away from their inner harmony, from their inner nature.They are afraid, afraid...

Thank you

Though our roads frequently intertwined, each would continue on his own path.Though truth was shining like a sun, doubt would always blind me.Though I heard you scream your love, prove it, though I drank from your wine,I would forget all your sacrifices,...

J'ai peur

J'ai peur de me couper les cheveux. J'ai peur de manger. J'ai peur de ne pas manger. J'ai peur de marcher. J'ai peur de ranger ma chambre. J'ai peur d'aimer. Je ne peux rien commencer, par peur que je ne termine jamais. Je ne peux rien faire, rien n'étant...

Israël: Un projet de métastase

ILe problème israélien a été abordé par plusieurs points de vue: historique, politique, financier et surtout humanitaire... mais en vain. Essayons donc de l'aborder d'un point de vue purement objectif et scientifique: d'un point de vue médical.Israël...

Goodbye

It doesn't matter where I go nor how long I stay, as long as there's someone home to say goodbye to.A kiss, a hug, a smile, two words "allah ma3ik"... and I am ready to face the world, for this ship is not leaving the port: she's taking the warmth and...

Misanthropy

Somehow misanthropic: I look at others and I get irritated. I stare at others, I observe them, when they know someone is watching and think everyone is, when they have to act like they're not acting. I look at them but I don't give a shit about them....

Watch where you're walking, etc...

While other kids might be irritated by the endless annoying lessons, I, as a kid, took some very seriously.While others, I admit, never even considered following.One of the most precious lessons given to me was "Watch where you're walking".It's true....

Je n'en peux plus. Je m'enfuis. Je me recroqueville. Je ferme les yeux, me bouche les oreilles. Trop de souffrance. Trop de malheur, dans ce monde, dans cette vie. Je vous supplie d'arrêter... vous, tous.. vous, Toi!! Arrêter de parler, arrêter vos gémissements,...

What if God was one of us?

A famous song title, a catchy 7-words sentence, an absurd or incomplete question... "What if God was one of us?".The muslims would find it scandalous to bring up such a subject or to imply that Allah could be a human, one of us. The jews would reply that...

Golden 2 out of 3
