153: WOMEN’S RIGHTS GROUP RILED OVER MINISTRY’S REBUFF

WOMEN’S RIGHTS GROUP RILED OVER MINISTRY’S REBUFF

Arab News Thursday, 28th / Friday, 29th Feb. 2008

RIYADH – The founder of the ANSAR AL-MARAH Women’s Rights Society has condemned the Ministry of Social Affairs for denying them the initial approval to establish the society.

Women’s Rights Activists in the KSA were eagerly anticipating the establishment of the AAM; the first civil society group dedicated to women’s rights in the KSA.

A Women’s Rights Activist and writer told Arab News recently that Saudi women see such groups as Ansar Al-Marah as a platform that would deliver their problems to decision makers and would speed up efforts to resolve issues pertaining to them.

She added that in the last few years much economic, educational and political reforms have been accomplished but not when it comes to Women’s Rights. Women still face discrimination in almost all important aspects of their lives, including and especially education, employment, civil affairs and the justice system. Women make up 70 percent of those enrolled in universities but only make up 5 percent of the work force.

I ASK YOU! AND WHAT A WASTE OF POTENTIAL AND RAW MATERIALS! BY GOD!

The Ministry of Social Affairs claims that it has not given its approval for the establishment of the society because that is not part of the ministry’s functions.

The founder of the group said that not allowing the group to function was unfair and that if authorizing such groups were not one of the ministry’s functions then it should have informed them at the time and refused the application of the group – a properly constituted group that would provide very necessary and highly important humanitarian assistance to women who need specialized help; which officialdom tends to deny instead of embracing and supporting them.

He added that the society does not enjoy support in some official circles because the organization plans to have a workplace comprised of both genders, which is illegal under Saudi law unless clearly segregated areas are provided.

The proposed society would be comprised of men and women working together and dismisses such segregation as a clear attempt to isolate women in the work-world. Smaller businesses, for example, might not be able to afford investing in almost redundant facilities such as extra office space in order to maintain such segregation, so they simply choose not to hire women. And in companies that have separate areas for women, they tend to be smaller and set to the sidelines of the main operations, which also contributes to isolating women in the work-places of the work-world.

I ASK YOU AGAIN! AND REFER YOU TO MY POSTINGS STATED IN MY PREVIOUS POSTING ON:

152: LEFT WITH FEW CHOICES, WIDOWS RELY ON CHARITY OR THE STATE – OR LEFT AT THE MERCY OF LOCAL COURTS

LEFT WITH FEW CHOICES, WIDOWS RELY ON CHARITY OR THE STATE – OR LEFT AT THE MERCY OF LOCAL COURTS

Arab News Thursday, 28th Feb. 2008

RIYADHUmm Koloud, a 41-year-old Saudi mother of six girls whose husband died seven months ago, lives in a squalid apartment in Athoqbah, Eastern Province. She gets SR 2,100 in social insurance every month, over half of which goes to rent. She and her daughters live under constant threat of eviction. They simply cannot afford the exorbitant rent every month.

Umm Koloud is only one of Saudi Arabia’s estimated 182,403 widows, most of whom scrape by with little or no support from blood relatives or in-laws.

For Saudi women – and all women in Arab and Arab-speaking countries, for that matter – the death of a husband often means more than losing a loved one; it is the beginning of a phase of more responsibilities, challenges and economic uncertainties. Some widows are left with relatives reluctant to take them in or offer even modest financial support.

And because of the Saudi guardianship laws, most of these widows are caught between the rock of an indifferent extended family and the hard place of a system that prohibits them from managing many of their own affairs.

Male guardians or Mahrams – a husband, father, brother, or son – are required to sign on behalf of women. Women who have no one to be their Mahram have no alternative but to become wards of the state; under the guardianship and at the mercy of local Islamic Courts.

Saedah F., 36, got married at 19 to a man much older than her. She never graduated from high school. She’s the mother of numerous children. When her husband passed away, the women who married him before her got most of the inheritance set aside for his wives.

A Sociologist said that the Saudi custom of parents forcing young girls to marry older men is mostly to blame for many relatively young women becoming widows. Although forced marriage is forbidden in Islam, many girls find it difficult not to submit to the marriage wills and selections made by their parents.

Marriage is viewed as a way to get out from under the yoke or tyranny of parents, too; forcing girls to make hasty decisions that might be the most contributing, if not the main, factor to Saudi Arabia’s growing divorce rate.

Like divorcees, widows are faced with the “damaged-goods syndrome” or stigma.

Fatimah Hussan, whose husband is currently serving 17 years in prison and still has 15 years to go, has two children and cannot find a place to put them while she’s at work. She survives in part through charity from neighbours and friends. Her social insurance disbursements barely cover what she pays in rent annually.

The Ministry of Social Affairs provides welfare to Saudi widows who are landless and with at least two children. However, as soon as a son turns 18, the mother becomes dependent upon him and is no longer eligible for ministry disbursement based on being a single-woman head of a household.

According to a women’s rights activist and member of the non-governmental National Society of Human Rights (NSHR); depending on financial help is not a cure for the predicaments of these widows, but a lame treatment of the symptoms.

She stated that surviving on charity exacerbates the feeling of helplessness and hopelessness in widows! What would give them hope was to implement programmes to help widows recuperate their emotional losses and regain their sense of being simply ‘persons, and not slaves, servants, or properties’ was to encourage them to be active members of society. Vocational and other educational courses would be a positive step.

Now – dear readers and fellow-Apes – the above are further proof of what I stated in my postings stated below – in that order – to avoid repetitious repetitions. All my Postings are now numbered:

151: SYRIA SLOW TO INVITE KSA AND LEBANON TO SUMMIT IN SYRIA OVER LEBANON
29 February, 2008

SYRIA SLOW TO INVITE SAUDI ARABIA AND LEBANON TO SUMMIT IN DAMASCUS IN SYRIA OVER LEBANON

AFP via Yahoo! News Thu, 28th Feb. 2008

DAMASCUS – Syria has yet to invite regional power-house, Saudi-Arabia, and the controversial country, Lebanon, to an Arab summit in Damascus next month, an official said on Thursday, as Arab League Chief, Amr Mussa, said some member states would only attend if Lebanon's political crisis were resolved.

This makes the average decent and sensible citizen of the world wonder HOW Syria could possibly invite all the Arab League States yet leave out Saudi-Arabia! And HOW the Arab League of Notions could possibly discuss Lebanon – let alone (try to) solve its critical crisis and dire situation – without Lebanon! One would think that Lebanon ought to be the first to be invited, and the first to show. One would also wonder WHY the Sneaky Slimy Scurvy Surly Scumbag Shit-head Schmucks – all under “S” for Syriansare doing this and WHAT they hope to bargain for!

Syria hasn’t yet invited Lebanon (via its bloated hog) because it has no president to receive the invitation, and if Syria hands the invitation to Foud Saniora then Syria automatically acknowledges and accepts the present government as legally legal and constitutionally constitutional which would then leave Syria’s Proxies Moles Pawns Puppets and Fiends, not in the lurch, but in the gutter!

How simple and obvious and transparent and BY GOD!

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it too many times already, that not all of us are...Etc…Etc...and Etc.

Syria and its regional ally Iran are the main backers of the Lebanese opposition which has been at odds with the Western and Saudi-backed Beirut government for months over the election of a new president.

Amr Mussa said he would be visiting Damascus soon for talks on the summit, but he sided with the Beirut government against the opposition by insisting that it had executive powers amid the presidential vacuum.

The Lebanese constitution stipulates that in the absence of a president, the prime minister assumes his powers, but the Syrian-backed opposition insists that Prime Minister, Fuad Siniora's, cabinet lost all legitimacy when six of their ministers quit in November, 2006, but have since then collected their un-earned illogical salaries regularly, every month, from Fuad Saniora’s illegitimately legitimate government.

Finally – kindly allow and forgive me, dear readers and fellow-Apes, to repeat the following: Trust the Arab League of Notions to come up with the Notion to hold a Summit Meeting right smack in Damascus, Syria! That’s like going to the Lair of the Foxes to discuss the plight of the Chickens! BY GOD!

149: RUSSIA READY TO SUPPORT SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN – ENVOY
28 February, 2008
RUSSIA READY TO SUPPORT SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN – ENVOY AFP via Yahoo News Alerts Wed. 27th February 2008

MOSCOW: Russia is ready to support new UN sanctions against Iran if Teheran does not change tack on its nuclear programme; Russia's envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, told journalists on Wednesday.

Asked if Russia would support sanctions – via a video conference from New York Churkin said: “Yes. If Iran does not change its position in the next few days, Russia, as a member of the group of six UN Security Council permanent members plus Germany, will support the UN resolution.”

Western powers have stepped up efforts to impose a third set of UN Security Council sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme in response to Teheran's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, a potential weapons-making process.

Moscow has relatively close ties with Iran, and Western powers worry that Iran may be trying to develop a nuclear weapons programme under cover of its stated goal of developing civilian nuclear power.

Iran denies having any such weapons programme

Russia has been supplying nuclear fuel for a nuclear power station that Moscow is building at Bushehr in the Islamic republic, and is committed to also removing spent fuel.

Some time ago, there was a report in the foreign and domestic papers with a picture showing Putin and Ahmedinejad and one other Ape; after an agreement on nuclear co-operation between Russia and Iran. Trust the Russians to first sell nuclear stuff to Iran for money, then turn around and join in preventing Iran from using the stuff as it wants. Let me draw your attention to the following headlines which also appeared in newspapers at home and abroad quite some time ago:

A UN WATCH-DOG REPORT FOUND IRAN GENERALLY TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE KEY ASPECTS OF ITS NUCLEAR HISTORY

IRAN DEMANDS APOLOGY FOR WRONG NUCLEAR ACCUSATIONS

IRAN’S AND THE IAEA’S SCAMSaturday, 17th Nov. 2007

What does ‘a UN Watchdog report found Teheran GENERALLY TRUTHFUL about the KEY ASPECTS of ITS NUCLEAR HISTORY’ mean exactly?

To the average, decent, and sensible person, it simply means that ‘Teheran was NOT PARTICULARLY TRUTHFUL about the KEY-AND-LOCK ASPECTS as opposed to the KEY ASPECTS only – of what use is THE KEY without THE LOCK since THE KEY is light and can be carried around, and lost, too, and although THE LOCK is FIXED or INSTALLED there, IT CAN BE BROKEN OR REMOVED AND REPLACED?

The average decent and sensible person knows fully well that: GENERALITIES ARE MEANINGLESS! IT IS THE PARTICULAR IN LIFE THAT IS MEANINGFUL!

The report also stated the there had been Relative Co-operation and Relatively Realistic Indications to that effect. What do ‘Relative Co-operation’ and ‘Relatively Realistic’ mean? ‘Relative’ to ‘Whom’ and/or "What"

Relative to Mohammed Baradei’s and his Team’s pockets or bank accounts; or relative to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s budget; or perhaps Mahmoud should have paid them more? Is that it?

What does ‘The IAEA’s insight into Iran’s present atomic work – in other words; Nuclear Programme – is shrinking’ mean? This clause was inserted into the report to cover their asses in advance because it simply means that The IAEA’s access to Iran’s Nuclear Programme was, and is, and will always be stringently LIMITED to only what Mahmoud wants them to access!

Not all of us are………

We all know what ‘The Islamic Republic – or Iran – continues to defy UNSC and the IC demands that IT freeze ITS Uranium Enrichment Programme’ means; what are we; Etc, and so forth and so on?

Finally, what does ‘Iran’s history of Black Market Procurements – or Black Market Deals – and Past Development of Uranium Enrichment Technology’ mean; Technological Enrichment of Uranium for what purposes exactly?

Furthermore, let me remind all of you out there that Syria had a nuclear plant or facility going – begun in 2003 or (much) earlier – and which was (almost) fully completed and probably operational, AND! NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT, INCLUDING THE STUPID, USELESS, HOPELESS BUT COSTLY UN AND THE IC AND, ESPECIALLY, THE BLIND, DEAF, GULLIBLE, IDIOTIC, MORONIC, AND OBTUSE IAEA – I do not believe for one moment that they did not know about it! They knew, but they were paid and told to look the other way with both eyes – until the Israeli Air-force bombed it not so long ago; and which, by the way, dear readers and fellow-Apes, is being rebuilt by Syria again!

AND! Would you believe that neither The UN, nor The IC, nor The UNSC, nor The IAEA even bothered to send a team to check out and investigate the remains?

They waited until Syria had cleared up and cleaned up the area and removed any and all traces of anything – I wouldn’t be surprised if THEY actually advised her to do it – and now they think and believe that only God and Syria and Israel know the truth; they couldn’t be more wrong, because not all of us are Etc, and so forth and so on. And now, instead of checking on what exactly Syria is doing or building, they wait, and look on with one eye, and look the other way with the other eye. AND! If Israel manages to bomb the same project again, they’ll start FARTING FROM BOTH ENDS!

Actually, even if Iran had been, or is, working toward nuclear weapons, THEY – Mohammed Baradei and The IAEA, The UN, The IC, The IAEA, The UNSC, The EU, and The Arab League of NotionsWOULD BE THE LAST TO KNOW! No. Scratch that.  The IAEA is the last to know; or the first to know but the last to show; if the price of not-know and not-show is right!

AS FOR THE IAEA; THEY WOULD BE – IN FACT, THEY ARE THE FIRST TO KNOW, BUT – THE LAST TO ADMIT AND/OR TELL! BY GOD!

IS IT FUNNY OR IRONIC OR AMUSING OR AMAZING OR FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING – THAT THE WHOLE WORLD CARES AND WORRIES ABOUT LEBANON, AND STRESSES THE NEED FOR THE ELECTION OF A NEW PRESIDENT EXCEPT LEBANON AND THE LEBANESE THEMSELVES?

Nasdaq – AFP – via Yahoo Alerts Mon, 25th Feb 2008

MANAMA, Bahrain – Egypt and the Gulf States fear an upcoming Arab summit could be sunk if Lebanon fails to begin resolving its political crisis by naming a new president; a senior Bahraini official said on Monday.

Moussa's Double Failure: No Breakthrough Declared, No New Meeting Set

Dear readers and fellow-Apes; as usual, my comments included and/or inserted in black and red, so you won’t have to read everything twice. BY GOD!

Arab League Secretary General, Amr Moussa the Mongrel-Mouse, on Monday concluded a two-day rescue mission in Beirut with double failure: No breakthrough has been declared and no date has been set for further talks.

However, Moussa was quick to stress: “we've agreed on meeting again” in a lame and transparent attempt to avoid stating that the Arab Initiative had collapsed. He could have added: “Actually, it was to be expected. However, there is Hope-Nope, since we have agreed to meet again to continue to disagree.”

A reporter: “What do you mean by that, Mr. Mouse? OOPS! Sorry. Mr. Moussa?”

Amr Moussa, the Amiable Mongrel-Mouse: “What are you, stupid? What else did you expect, since my instructions – and/or my decision – were to visit Nabih Beriberi Berri first, before Mediating the Mooing and Mewing between the Main Morons?”

He made the remarks to reporters at Parliament following a second round of talks in as many days between March 14 majority representatives, ex-President Amin Gemayel and Mustaqbal Movement leader, Saad Hariri, and Un-Free Un-Patriotic and Mis-Movement Maronite Moron Christian Bleeder, Michael Aoun in his crappy and copious capacity as the misrepresentative of the Hezballah-led Opposition.

AOUN! To state the truth unequivocally: The French actually screwed the Lebanese twice. The first time was when they saved this creature and kept it alive in a gold cage for 15 years; and the second time was when they sent it back to us!

To the French, he was a thorn in their side and a chronic canker in their society, but they finally managed to get rid of him by sending him back to Lebanon. To the Christians, he is nothing but a Comic and Compost Clown-Comedian, and only God could rid them of him; but to the Opposition and Syria’s and Iran’s Tentacles of Terror and Turbulence – Hezballah and Amal – he is a cozy and convenient cover or coverlet: the shield that protects them during the days and the blanket that keeps them warm during the nights; until Syria’s and Iran’s aims,  goals, and purposes have been achieved and served; then he’ll be tossed aside and discarded like the dirty old frayed and useless blanket that he is!

145: AMR MOUSSA, THE AMIABLE MONGREL-MOUSE, MEDIATES MOOING AND MEWING AFTER MEETING MAIN MUTILATOR AND MAULER
25 February, 2008

Moussa mediates 'decisive' talks in Beirut

Arab league expected to abandon initiative if marathon negotiations fail to yield results The Daily Star Monday, 25th February, 2008

Dear readers and fellow-APES; the following is the gist of the above report with my remarks  replacing some words and/or inserted in-between in red, so you won’t have to read everything twice:

BEIRUT: Arab League Chief, Amr Moussa, the Amiable Mouse, held Mooing and Mewing with rival political leaders in Lebanon on Sunday, in a bid to break a deadlock that has left the country without a president for three months. Moussa hosted a meeting between two leading members of the Western-backed ruling coalition: parliamentary majority leader, Saad Hariri, and ex-President Amin Gemaeyel; and Christian opposition Bleeder, Michael Aoun; as The Daily Star went to press the meeting had not been adjourned.

Well-informed sources told The Daily Star that the meeting was expected to be a decisive one, whereby either some kind of solution would be agreed on or the Arab initiative would be dropped all together.

The three-point Arab initiative calls for the election of a new President, who would represent Lebanon as its Head of State at the Arab Summit in Damascus, Syria, the formation of a national unity government, and the drafting and implementation of new electoral laws. The Chief-Thief and Liar of the Arab League arrived in Beirut on Sunday afternoon to resume Mooing and Mewing between Lebanon's feuding factions amid signs that a solution to the three-month presidential deadlock silly and sour situation was still far off.

Who gives a damn or cares a hoot – or gives a Fuck in Heaven or Hell or Horse-shit – whether the next new President is Michael Suleiman or TOZ WA MARHHABA, so long as he is fit for it and patriotic?

Amr Moussa, the Amiable Mongrel-Mouse, went straight from the airport to meet with Parliament Speaker, Nabih Beriberi Berri, who actually leads the opposition.

Now that, dear readers and fellow-Apes, is what the Arab League Chief-Thief calls True and Fair Mediation Efforts; go straight to the Canker or the Beriberi disease – the Third and Constant and Cancerous Point, or Side, or Element, of The Ruling Triangle or Troika. The one man who is the main cause and main source of Lebanon’s and the Lebanese’ Worries and Woes; the Main Mutilator and Mauler of Lebanon’s and the Lebanese People’s hopes and dreams, and the Major Mole and Monkey-wrench in the whole works!

The 22-member Arab League's annual summit would be held in Damascus on 29th and 30th March in spite of Syria's alleged involvement in Lebanon's political crisis. Lebanon has been without a head of state since 23rd November

Syria is keen on having a high volume of high-level representation at the March 29-30 Summit Meeting in Damascus, and Syria’s Foreign Minister, Walid Al-Moallem, will travel to Gulf States other than Saudi Arabia to deliver invitations this week.

Syria is keen on having a high volume of high-level representation at the Arab Summit – as many as impossible – only to throw dust into the eyes of the rest of the world and throw them off the tracks! That' all.

My title for the above report would have been:

AMR MOUSSA, THE AMIABLE MONGREL-MOUSE, MEDIATES MOOING AND MEWING AFTER MEETING MAIN MUTILATOR AND MAULER

It would have been more fitting, too. Furthermore, I refer you to the following article or report that appeared in the local papers and which I posted and commented on (number 131):

131: KING OF JORDAN: 'CAREFUL PLANNING’ NEEDED FOR ARAB SUMMIT

Compiled by the Daily Star staff Monday, 11th February, 2008

I invite you to read the above posting.

Selected excerpts: After receiving an invitation from Bashar Al Assad via Syria’s Foreign Minister, Walid Mouallem, King Abdullah II of Jordan said:

“CAREFUL PLANNING IS NEEDED FOR THE ARAB SUMMIT INDEED”

My Comments: Just take a good look at THE CAREFUL PLANNING BY THE ARAB LEADERS, my dear readers and fellow-Apes! AFTER MUCH CARELESS PLANNING they decide to hold THE ARAB SUMMIT MEETING IN DAMASCUS IN SYRIA!

I ASK YOU! AND BY GOD!

Parliament has not failed to elect a president. Parliament has been prevented – hamstrungfrom electing a president by Syria and Iran through their proxies, moles, puppets, pawns and fiends in Lebanon.

How is it possible to elect a new President when the Opposition claims the present government is illegal and unconstitutional? Whom are they going to elect the President with?

Parliament has been closed for more than a year now by Syria and Iran through their prime proxy, major mole, and fondest fiend, Nabih Beriberi Berri, who shut and locked the doors, then put the keys in his pockets and went home.

Trust the Arab League of Notions to come up with the notion to hold a Summit Meeting right smack in Damascus, Syria! That’s like going to the Lair of The Foxes to discuss the plight of The Chickens! BY GOD!

The average decent sensible and law-abiding Lebanese citizens – might ask:

How are they going to form a New National Unity Government and draft and implement New Electoral Laws without a President?

How on Earth or in Heaven, or in Hell, or in HORSE-SHIT, are they going to hold a Summit Meeting on Lebanon when Lebanon has no President or Head of State to represent it? In other words: How are they going to hold an Arab Summit Meeting on Lebanon without Lebanon?

How on earth or in Etc and so forth can the opposition be a part of and apart from the government at the same time?

Where om earth or in Etc and so forth is The Speaker the Leader of the opposition?

Who is going to replace the President or the Lebanese Head of State at this meeting?

Are they going to send two delegations again as is the current trend – one representing the government, and the other representing the opposition – with two more delegations attending the meeting – one from Syria, and one from Iran?

IF – according to the opposition – the present Lebanese government is illegal and unconstitutional how is it possible to hold a Summit Meeting on a country that has been a member of The Arab League from the onset, and yet has no president and no government – or a government that is refuted and denied by some?

Excerpts from KUWAITI MPs IN DEEP SHIT OVER I’M MAD MUGHNIYEH

Kuwaiti Lawyers Sue Shiite MPs over Hezballah’s Imad

MughniyehAFP & AP via Yahoo! News Alert & Middle East Times Wed, 20th Feb 2008

Four Shiite MPs and a council member held a rally to mourn the slain top commander of Lebanon's Hezbollah, Imad Mughnieh, who was accused of hijacking a Kuwaiti plane in 1988 and killing two Kuwaitis whose bodies were dumped on the tarmac of Larnaca airport in Cyprus.

The rally, was held on Saturday, 17th Feb, to mourn Imad Mughnieh, who was killed last week in a car bombing in an upper-class neighbourhood in Damascus, was attended by hundreds of Shiites under the close watch of security agencies.

Comments: Not a few of you might (want to) ask: What’s your point and where are you going with this, Daniel? My point is what a lot of you out there and a lot of those in here don’t seem to realise; and that is: Hezballah in Lebanon and in Kuwait and elsewhere, and their allies and alliances, especially Amal in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine, are all Iran’s Tentacles of Terror and Tools for establishing Iran’s own version of A United States of Shiite Islam, comprising Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Palestine, Afghanistan; and Saudi-Arabia; although not necessarily in that order.

Syria thinks and believes it is part of Iran’s plan and that it will share in the spoils of war and/or terror, but the fact is, Iran is tagging Syria along for the ride, and using Syria because Iran needs Syria now. Later on, we shall see.

A word to the wise is enough; and a thousand words to the fool ought to be enough! BY GOD!

142: KUWAITI MPs IN DEEP SHIT FOR MOURNING I’M MAD MUGHNIYEH'S MURDER
21 February, 2008

KUWAITI MPs IN DEEP SHIT OVER I’M MAD MUGHNIYEH'S DEATH

Kuwaiti Lawyers Sue Shiite MPs for Mourning Hezballah’s Imad Mughniyeh's Murder

AFP & AP via Yahoo! News Alert & Middle East Times Wed, 20th Feb 2008

Dear readers and fellow-APES; below is the gist of the articles or reports:

Four Kuwaiti lawyers filed a suit against four Shiite MPs and a council member on today, Wednesday 20th Feb. for holding a rally to mourn the slain top commander of Lebanon's Hezbollah, Imad Mughnieh, who was accused of hijacking a Kuwaiti plane.

The rally which was held on Saturday, 17th Feb, to mourn Imad  Mughnieh, who was killed last week in a car bombing in an upper-class neighbourhood in Damascus, was attended by hundreds of Shiites under the close watch of security agencies.

The lawsuit is against MPs Adnan Abdulsamad, who spoke at the rally, and Ahmad Lari, as well as former minister Abdulhadi al-Saleh, former MP Abdulmohsen Jamal and municipal council member Fadhel Safar.

After a meeting with the Public Prosecutor, lawyer Dhaidan al-Mutairi said: “We accused them of being founders and members of Hezballah Kuwait, undermining national unity and declaring loyalty to Lebanon's Hezbollah.” “These charges are punishable under Kuwait's penal code,” he added.

MPs in Kuwait cannot be arrested, interrogated, or prosecuted unless parliament agrees to lift their immunity. This can be done through a formal request by the Public Prosecutor.

Abdulsamad described Mughnieh as a “martyr and a hero” and denied that he was involved in the 1988 plane hijacking which led to the killing of two Kuwaitis whose bodies were dumped on the tarmac of Larnaca airport in Cyprus (which makes one wonder whether he was there, and took part in the hijacking).

Sunni MPs and activists have blasted organisers of the rally and called on the government to prosecute them. Some MPs even called on Abdulsamad to give up his parliamentary seat.

The government of oil-rich Kuwait appealed for restraint on Monday after the reactions to the rally had taken a sectarian turn.

The cabinet also condemned organisers of the rally for glorifying “a murderer, a mercenary, and a terrorist” whose hands were stained with the blood of innocentsmartyrs – and who was behind many terrorist and criminal, heinous and hideous atrocities against innocent civilians.

And below, are my comments:

First of all; if I’ve told you half a time, I’ve told you too many times already! ImadI’m MadMughniyeh’s case is another typical and exemplary example of the Arab Mentality – albeit not all of them. Thanks to God? NO! Thanks to education and enlightenment! I call Imad Mughniyeh ‘I’m Mad Mughniyeh’ because we’ve got two of him right here in Lebanon: I’m Mad Michael Aouu and Hassan Nesa-Allah!

If an Arab blows himself up, or pays blood money and sends innocent, illiterate, and ignorant Arabs to blow themselves and/or vehicles up – killing, wounding, and maiming innocent civilians; and destroying homes, buildings, streets, churches, mosques, and other structures – whether public or private – THEY CALL HIM A HERO AND CALL THEM HEROES AND MARTYRS! And when this very same Arab gets the same treatment from others – when he is given a goodly taste, or a goodly dose, of his own medicine that he’d been giving to others, THEY CALL HIM A MARTYR AND A HERO! HORSE-SHIT!

Let me remind you – dear readers and fellow-APES – that NOTHING like this could take place anywhere at all in Syria without the knowledge and participation and approval of Syria’s Intelligence AgencyMOUKHABARAT!

I’M MAD IMAD MUGHNIYEH LIVED BY DEATH – indirectly dishing out death to others indiscriminately, and regardless of the fact that he was indirectly killing without fighting, not Combat-People (soldiers) but innocent civilians! And, like my late beloved Mama (who is I, myself, and me) would say: “SON! I QUOTE AN OLD SAYING: HE WHO LIVES BY THE SWORD DIES BY THE SWORD! AND HE WHO FEEDS DEATH TO OTHERS SHALL BE FED DEATH IN TURN!”

However, and but! And before I forget; what really amuses, amazes and annoys me, and really pisses me off no end is: in The USA and the other advanced countries, the president can be accused, interrogated, indicted, convicted, and removed from office if not actually prosecuted – Bill Clinton was nearly removed from office after he’d been exposed and accused of adultery, i.e. screwing Monica in The White House; and The Royal Family (or Royalty) in England were given the same treatment.

BUT in Kuwait, Saudi-Arabia, and Jordan; as The Symbols of Sins, Beacons of Banalities, and Icons of Inanities; and which represent almost all Arab and Arab-speaking countries; and LEBABON especially, as the worst and most ludicrous, ridiculous, and preposterous of them all; no MP or Minister or Representative can even be approached without Parliament lifting Immunity (such HORSE-SHIT that not even a HORSE would shit), and where the president and the speaker lead the opposition; the president refuses – is forbidden – to say or do anything; ministers resign yet still keep their posts and collect their salaries; the opposition claims the government is illegal and unconstitutional but still collect their salaries from this same government at the end of every month; the speaker resigns but keeps his post, collects his salary, and shuts down and locks parliament and puts the keys in his pockets; and the last Maronite Moron Presiding Prick, Hermit-Baboon and Jinx, and Champion Jackass, leaves Baabda Palace (Donkey-Stable) and takes the Maronite Moron Presidency with him! Actually, he couldn’t have done it without I’m Mad Michael Aoun! And where Syria’s boots are on their Proxies,’ Moles,’ Puppets,’ and Fiends’ necks and Iran’s boots are in their mouths!

Dear readers and fellow-APES; I could go on and on……ad infinitum but you could get them all by reading my postings. I promise to prepare a list of them for you, to facilitate your search; and you may choose.

BY GOD!

141: Top Lawyer - Wants a Piece of Yara's Cake and The Action - Comes to Yara’s Defence
20 February, 2008

Top Lawyer Comes to Yara’s Defense

Arab News Tuesday, 19th Feb. 2008

The above was the headline as it appeared in The Arab News

Below is what the headline actually meant:

Top Lawyer Wants a Piece of Yara's Cake and The Action, so He Comes to Yara’s Defence

The article or report (I had to include it all in order for you – dear readers and fellow-Apes – to follow and stick to the path):

JEDDAH – A prominent human rights lawyer, Abdul Rahman Al-Lahem, said yesterday that the CPVPVthe Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice – committed various violations in the way one of its members arrested a 37-year-old businesswoman in Riyadh.

Yara was arrested on Feb. 4 by commission members for being in a curtained booth in the family section of a Riyadh Starbucks cafe with a Syrian colleague.

“There is a good possibility of winning the case against the commission if Yara filed a lawsuit at the Court of Grievances,” Abdul Rahman Al-Lahem told Arab News.

He added that the commission member in this case violated an order from the Interior Ministry that binds commission members to produce suspects at the local police center. It is the local police’s responsibility to investigate such cases.The Interior Ministry’s rule is clear on that matter,” Al-Lahem said. “The commission must hand over anyone they arrest in any case to the police.”The lawyer added that placing a suspect in a taxi for transfer is a clear violation of existing rules, which is what happened in Yara’s case. Al-Lahem said that the commission member should have had proper identification. “He’s actually violating the commission’s own rules,” he said. “When arresting someone, they should present the commission’s ID card.” Yara claimed that the member who arrested her refused to produce any identification.

The lawyer also questioned the commission’s claim that Yara and her colleague were violating Islamic law and instead criticized the commission member for forcing Yara into a taxi.

“What is a Shariah violation?” he questioned. “Who defines one? There is no legislation that prevents people who are not related from meeting in public. In fact, being in a limousine with an unrelated man is more of a ‘khulwa’ than being in a coffee shop.” Khulwa is defined as being in a state of seclusion with an unrelated man or woman.

In its statement on Monday, the commission charged that Yara and her colleague violated Labor Ministry regulations for “working together”

Al-Lahem countered this saying the commission is not authorized to monitor Labor Ministry violations.

The Ministry of Labor is the only authority to check on such violations,” he said. “Does the commission now want to monitor all violations in the country?”In addition, the commission accused two prominent Saudi columnists — Abdullah Al-Alami of Al-Watan newspaper and Abdullah Abou Alsamh of the Okaz daily — of supporting illegal and un-Islamic activities.Abou Alsamh denies making any un-Islamic remarks in his column and said he merely questioned the commission’s interpretations about khulwa.“My point was that the commission members humiliated her,” he said. “They said that under Islamic law a woman couldn’t travel without a mahram (a legal male guardian). If so, then why is the government allowing this? Why are local airlines not prohibiting women from traveling alone?”

In Al-Alami’s case, the commission threatened legal action against him for describing Yara’s arrest as “abduction”

“I still stick to what I said in my column,” Al-Alami told Arab News yesterday. “I’m committed to human rights as mandated under the law.”

Arab News attempted to contact Abdullah Al-Shathari, the head of the Riyadh branch of the commission, who released the statement on Monday. He was, however, not available.

My comments: Before I begin, there is no such a thing (or a person) as "a top lawyer" omly "a top liar" since all lawyers are liars. Second,  “Well, Yara; here you go again, or there you go again!”

Yara could have avoided all this by splitting up with her Syrian ‘Coffee-drinking’ ‘Coffee-mate’ as soon as they had entered the Starbucks Café. She could have stood on her rights and yelled and screamed and refused to go along with the commission member in a taxi without a police escort. She could have called the police or asked someone to call them. Her Syrian ‘Coffee-drinking’ Coffee-mate’ could have done it.

Like I said in my previous comments: read my posting on this silly and very sorry story titled: NSHR Seeks Commission Response in Yara Case

The whole most important and crucial points are: she, and her Syrian ‘Coffee-Drinking’ ‘Coffee-Mate’ are guilty as hell otherwise she (they) wouldn’t have gone along so meekly and submissively only God, and the commission member, know what he saw when he pulled the curtains that hid the booth in which they were lurking apart – the least she could and would have done was raise her own fuss and screamed; then asked for the police to be present, and accompany them while she was being taken away. The way she and he (they) just went along with him was too glib, too quick, and too easy and highly suspicious for belief. BY GOD!

And to Yara and her husband, I say: “Let it go! Don’t push it! Don’t push it because her name and her whole body have been dragged through enough mud, shit, and rubbish already!”

This cotton-picking and mother-fucking prominent promiscuous lawyerAbdul Rahman Al-Lahemhas done his homework well and has prepared the grounds for his onslaught, not against the CPVPV, but against Yara and her husband by saying: “There is a good possibility of winning the case against the commission if Yara filed a lawsuit at the Court of Grievances,” knowing fully well that the president and vice-president – and the whole bunch – of The NSHR are playing their game within the rules and within their rights.

Al-Lahem is going to do what lawyers do best: drag her through an even worse ordeal than what she’d already been through. And she and her husband are going to pay for all the screwing – both in bed and in court – AND! Nobody knows how long just such a case might last or what it might end in! He definitely has nothing to lose since she and/or her husband will have to pay the fees, costs, and other expenses; and even if they lose the case, she and/or her husband will have to pay the court fines, and she will have to face the consequences – a prison term or deportation.

If ‘Khulwa’ means ‘a state of seclusion’ then no one could possibly imagine ‘a more secluded seclusion’ than lurking behind a curtained booth!

Also, what exactly is the Court of Grievances, and who preside(s) over it, other than birds of the same feather, students of the same school, graduates of the same university, college, or academy, and servants of the same master?

It’s like asking the masters to punish the servants for doing exactly what the masters ordered them to do.

Perhaps she loves it and enjoys all of the above and the publicity – or notoriety – and man-handlings; and she and her husband are prepared to pay the costs? If so, then I say: “Go, Yara, go!”

140: The CPVPV Defend Arrest of Yara & Maintain Stance
19 February, 2008

The CPVPV Defend Arrest of Yara & Maintain Stance

Arab News Mon, 18th Feb 2008 Dear readers and fellow-APES. Below is the gist of the report:

RIYADH – the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice – the CPVPV – which is the CDVPV – Commission for the Demotion of Virtue and the Promotion of Vice – yesterday defended its action against the Jeddah-based 36-year-old businesswoman, Yara, earlier this month, saying she violated Saudi regulations and Islamic law.

In its first reaction to the arrest of Yara, a mother of three, in Riyadh 0on Feb. 4 by its officials, the commission also said that it reserved the right to take legal action against columnists who had questioned the way Yara was treated in their columns for accusing its officials of abducting the woman. Yara was arrested along with her Syrian colleague for being together alone in a curtained booth in a Starbucks Cafe.

Arab News tried to contact officials of the National Society for Human Rights – the NSHR – to get their reaction to the commission’s statement, but the president of the organization and his deputy – the vice-presidentdid not respond.

And below are my comments, BY GOD:

I TOLD YOU SO! I also told you: serves her right! And there was nothing anyone could do to undo what had been done or do anything about it. They were wasting the time while biding their time and using the time to manipulate and exploit the poor, stupid, asinine, and naïve woman.

And now – dear readers and fellow-Apes – after dragging her through ‘the mud and shit and rubbish of too much publicity by ‘The Media’ who are always circling above like vultures, and sniffing and rummaging below like hyenas, looking for just such a silly and sorry story like hers to fill their pages and air-time; not to mention the usual, if not always, additions and subtractions; and further exposure, shame, and embarrassment; and after sexually manipulating and exploiting her; the NSHR will tell her to forget it and go home!

Actually, the president and vice-president – if not the whole bunch – of the NSHR will be damn lucky if they are not dragged through the Civil and Religious Courts by the CPVPV for their remarks – and their actions, i.e. their sexual manipulation and exploitation of Yoyo Yara!

139: SAUDI PARENTS ABUSE & MOLEST CHILDREN - Elementary School Children Physically, Verbally, and Sexually Abused by Parents
18 February, 2008

Sexual Abuse Among 12% of School Kids Arab News Sun, 17 Feb 2008

My dear readers and fellow-Apes; below is the short but full gist of the report, with my comments included or embedded within, and like my late beloved Mama (who is I, Myself, and Me) would say: USE YOUR BRAIN; (IF) YOU’VE GOT ONE! BY GOD!

The above was the Headline as it appeared in the Arab News, and it was calculated to mislead and misinform – if not actually confuse and lead astraythe public in general and readers in particular, since the above Headline could/might/would give the impression that the School Children Abuse One Another, whereas they have been, and continue to be, Abused by Their Parents, AND; in Saucy-Arabia, the nucleus – the heart – of ISLAM.

I, for one, am not surprised, since this is Highly Typical of all Arab Newspapers to continue to connive with, condone, and protect Arabs no matter what they do, and even after what they have done, in order to show the rest of the world how Decent, Moral, and Pious they all are – whereas the extreme opposite is the truth and fact!

If an Arab blows himself up and kills several innocent civilians and destroys several vehicles, homes, streets, and other structures, THEY CALL HIM A MARTYR IN THE NAME OF ALLAH AND ISLAM; and if Arab Parents commit such heinous and hideous acts – crimes even worse than murder, since murder kills the persons once only, whereas such crimes kill the persons all through their lives – they say: HEY! THEY’RE DOING IT TO THEIR OWN CHILDREN WHO ARE THEIR SLAVES OR PROPERTIES! They’re not hurting the community or anyone else. I ASK YOU!

The Headline should have read:

Saudi Elementary School Children Physically, Verbally, and Sexually Abused by Parents

Then go on to give details: 35% of them Physically Abused; 50% of them Verbally Abused; and 12% of them Sexually Abused – BY THEIR OWN PARENTS! I ASK YOU AGAIN!

RIYADH – a recent study conducted on 10,000 elementary school students between 8 and 12 years of age showed that around 35% of them have been physically abused by parents, the Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported yesterday. The study showed that 50% of them have been verbally abused while 12% complained of sexual abuse.

The study also pointed out that most abuse cases were in the main cities of Riyadh and Jeddah. It said that the kinds of abuses the children suffered caused fear and stress among them and might lead to serious complications when they grow up.

The greatest wonder of all is HOW these Poor and Helpless Children of Perverts managed to tell the truth – or HOW the authorities managed to coerce them into telling the truth – since they are taught from birth to be timid, submissive, mute, and stoical.  I say: The Males among the Parents involved must be castrated, and the Females among them must have their sexual organs surgically removed – BUT NOT IN PUBLIC! It would be more than enough to publicly announcein the Media: TVs, radios, newspapers, mosques before prayers, public squares, Etc – that such and such was done to so and so for such and such a crime or offence.

So; my dear readers and fellow-APES, now we know why the 19-year-old Jordanian girl killed her parents and two brothers but spared her 14-year-old sister; and why the 19-year-old Jordanian boy killed 12 people – his parents and siblings, a relative, and a friend. I hereby cordially invite you to read my posting (number 127) on the above – that is, if you haven’t read it yet:

127: JORDANIAN GIRL POISONS FAMILY – JORDANIAN BOY MURDERED 12 PEOPLE! BY GOD AGAIN!

Furthermore, and finally; I do not believe this is taking place in Riyadh and Jeddah only! I believe it is taking place all over the KSA and every and all other Arab or Arab-speaking countries; which makes us all wonder again HOW THE SAUDI OR SAUCY AUTHORITIES MANAGED TO ALLOW THE ABOVE REPORT TO APPEAR IN AN ARAB NEWSPAPER! Well, like they say: WONDERS WILL NEVER END! BY GOD; ONE MORE TIME!
