Inshaa Allah this weekend we’ll have another one at McMaster for the MSA’s of Southwest Ontario. More on LTP’s later inshaa Allah - […]

A few quick responses are in order.
Abeer: thank you so much for the links. The pictures and the drawings are beautiful. Now I have to decide how to use them :)
Farah: thank you for […]
Just as an aside, the comment by Ayman Khafagi on “Kudos (Big Time!)” contains a better link to each episode in its entirety from google video.
Now that the custom header feature for K2 has been fixed I figured I’d play with it a bit. I don’t have an ear for music or an eye for color, so if my colors ‘trouble’ you in some sense I would not be offended at suggestions. The picture is from Cordoba. Since we anointed […]

Tokyo Rose
Published January 19th, 2007 in Civil Rights, History, Politics, Prejudice and U.S.. 0 CommentsToday’s “This Day in History” was about Tokyo Rose. I found myself asking for the nth time when we as a society will ever learn the lessons of the past. I still remember the 1st gulf war and the reporting that essentially made CNN. They covered “smart” weapons as if they were computer games, or […]
