A lady’s desire: to be successful as a mother and career woman
The Filly Became a Mouse by Layla Ba ’labakki is about a woman’s desire to be successful in several fields—motherhood and her dancing profession, ballet.

From this written story, I will write an essay understanding it from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Just after the basic and emotional needs of an individual is the esteem needs and las… Continue

Gaza's Untold Story – Book Review
One year on since Israel's criminally-insane war on Gaza, many are still unaware of the roots of the 'conflict' and the plight of the Palestinian people. Israel would like to have us believe that its latest onslaught was a direct response to resistance rockets or even Hamas's democratic accession to power, forgetting that both of which came into existence as a response to Israeli policies.

They continue to suffer from discrimination in the workplace, schools and in the general public life. Access to education, especially higher education, remains far fetched for many Arab women. This is especially true for those living in poorer rural regions. Constraints in terms of accessing health services ar… Continue

The Internet in post-Saddam Iraq
http://www.dayan.org/In_Iraq.pdf
The status of the Internet in Iraq, regarding both governmental policies and usage, underwent a fundamental change following Saddam Husayn’s deposal in 2003.

November 6, 2009
Since 1999, US. immigration authorities have, for a variety of reasons, denied Imam Qatanani's petition to become a permanent resident. The 47 year old Imam has since 1996 served as the spiritual leader of the tri-state’s largest Muslim mosque, the Islamic Center of Passaic County. Over a year ago, a Newark Federal Immigration, in a much publicized trial, ruled in favor of the Imam. In his… Continue
