An old man lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky withhis young son. Each morning he was up early sitting at the kitchen tablereading his Quraan. His son wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in everyway he could. One day the son asked, "Papa, I try to read the Quraanjust like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forgetas soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Quraan do?"The father quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,"Take th... Read More

Peace be upon you and best wishes on the occasion of the seventh Resistance and Liberation Day. As I make my live address through Al-Manar TV station, I thank Almighty Allah for His blessings.

O divider of heaven and hell bring relief, Don?t let us give in to our grief. How long upon our lives you prey? Why don?t you hunt our lives? thief? I wish that fate would cease this carnage, And to the lovers give their due wage. In times of youth the rein in my hands, Now on the saddle, I ride in old age. If like me, you too fall in this trap, Hold the wine and cup upon your lap. We are the lovers, burning our tracks, Join us, if you can put up with the crap.

May 25, 2000, day of glorious miracle that came true The past broke off from the present on May 25, 2000 to date the miracle of forcing out the Israeli army from the vast majority of occupied Lebanese lands came true. It was the day when Lebanon through its resistance defeated the "legendary" army"; something Arab states failed to achieve and UN Security Council resolutions left undone. When Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the UN Security Council issued resolution 425 binding Israel to withdraw immediately... Read More

Franklin Lamb Inside Narh al-Bared and Bedawi Refugee Camps Wearing a beat-up ratty UNCHR tee-shirt left over from Bint Jbeil and the Israeli-Hezbollah July probably helped. As did, I suspect, the Red Cross jersey, my black and white checkered kaffieyh and the Palestinian flag taped to my lapel as I joined a group of Palestinian aid workers and slipped into Nahr el-Bared trying not to look conspicuous. Our mission was to facilitate the delivery of food, blankets and mattresses, but I was also curiou... Read More

Prominent British writer Patrick Seale said in an interview with the Al-Hayat daily that the bitter fighting in north Lebanon between the Lebanese army and Fatah al-Islam has added a new and dangerous dimension to the Lebanese crisis. "It poses a serious threat to the already fragile pro-Western government of Fuad Saniora, besieged internally," Seale said. He added that this outbreak of violence, the worst in Lebanon since the 1975-1990 civil war, is yet another consequence of the world's - and specifically Am... Read More

The ultimatum followed three days of fierce fighting between the army and the Fatah al-Islam group. The army has laid siege to the Nahr al-Bared camp since the fighting erupted on Sunday, bombarding it with tank fire and artillery shells. At least eighty people have died, ... Read More

Yesterday, a major study was released by the Pew Center citing, among other more positive findings, that 25% of Muslims think suicide bombings are justified. This is one of the largest studies done on Muslims in America...what do you think? Do the findings seem entirely plausible or does anything surprise you? I do social science research for a living, so I am always hesitant to believe any survey study findings I read about until I see the methodology. One thing that surprised me is that they said they interv... Read More

One of my friend's sent me this poem. He writes as well but I'm not sure if he wrote this. I will confirm, but I wanted to share in the meantime. Taras jaoge tum mehfil-e-wafa ke liye, kisi se pyar na kar khuda ke liye Jab lagegi ishq ki aadalat ek din tum hi chune jaoge saza ke liye Kamabakth Ishq ne aaj mujhe rula diya Jis pe marta tha usne hi bhula diya Mai bhi uski Yaad bhulane ke liye peeta gaya Ek din zalim ne usme bhi Zeher mila diya Ishq dariya hai jiska sahil nahi hota, Har dil mo...
