... when you start getting hate mail.
Actually, I've had hate mail before. Most of it came from American religious-right nutjobs after my husband and I were interviewed for an article about choosing not to have children, specifically for reasons related to the environmental and climate change. But that was a couple of years ago.
The new batch is coming from Zionists, mainly in the USA (again - jeez, how many people over the pond have nothing better to do than send hostile email…

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. This is a yearning which I personally believe is acceptable and just right for each individual in this world—to excel in his choice of career. 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…

My Father Was a Freedom Fighter: Gaza's Untold Story'. Ramzy Baroud. Pluto Press, London: 2010.
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.

Despite the economic prosperity and the modernity brought about by the discovery of oil in the Arab region, gender equality remains an uphill climb for many Arab women. 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…

The status of the Internet in Iraq, regarding both governmental policies and usage, underwent a fundamental change following Saddam Husayn’s deposal in 2003. Still, as is true with so many other features of Iraqi life, Iraq does not constitute a single, homogenous unit with regard to the Internet. Along with b…

Aref Assaf, PhD
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…
