  • Mohamad Shmaysani French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Tuesday launched a fresh bid to break a political impasse in Lebanon that is threatening to derail the election of a president by a November 23 deadline. His visit, the fifth in recent months, comes amid a flurry of diplomatic initiatives to nudge the country's rival camps to agree on a consensus candidate to replace the current head of state Emile Lahoud, whose mandate expires November 24. Parliament speaker Nabih Berri has already postponed three... Read More

  • Despite the existence of hundreds or perhaps thousands of religious sects, mankind remains for the most part bewildered and uncertain of what to believe or how to find enduring peace and happiness. Everywhere one looks, there are countless people scurrying about, searching for, or hoping for, some hidden secret that will lead to happiness. Thousands upon thousands of spiritual guidance books have been written, yet all too many people still wander about, unaware of their own Divine heritage, unhappy and lacking c... Read More

  • Elias Aoun For the past two years, many ?made in Lebanon? solutions were rejected. There are many dark predictions, but they can all be transcended by taking a different path, making wiser decisions, so that the dark plots do not have to unfold. Achieving a constructive outcome requires awareness of what is possible (both positive and negative), good intentions, and an enhanced decision-making process by widening the source of information upon which those decisions are made. It has been said that polit... Read More

  • Bowl of Saki for November 11 OUR THOUGHTS HAVE PREPARED FOR US THE HAPPINESS OR UNHAPPINESS WE EXPERIENCE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): The average person under the influence of ego casts shadow thoughts over the heart so that the heart does not experience bliss. Happiness is not to be confused with momentary pleasure. One way to distinguish them is this: any act, speech or thought which, while bringing some pleasant result also affects one at some...

  • Ok, so I got a little lazy after Ramadan, gained 10 lbs after and have to get back into shape.... My question is this, someone told me if you have something sweet in the morning its worse then having it later cause it messes up your body for the rest of the day....well not in those words, but it was a fitness instructor, so my question is is this true and if so, why? PS My new workout song is "push it to the limit" by rick ross...just added it to my iPod. ;-)

  • Editorial - The Daily Star Israel provided yet another example on Thursday of the double standards by which it feels entitled to operate on the world stage. Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz demanded that the international community replace Mohamed ElBaradei as the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, saying that he has not done enough to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions. Mofaz, whose own country has openly threatened to launch a military attack on the Islamic Republic, leveled the utterly absurd all... Read More
