He sounds like an angel. After all he has gone through, to have the strength to educate, in the hope of changing the US’s attitude.

But those stats at the end. Wow. America has such a long way to go. How do American voters, rational human beings, let them get away with that. In no other country in the world does Israel have that kind of support. In fact, in no other country in the world do a majority of citizens support Israel (except Russia).

Let's also try to get OPEC to stop blocking international climate change negotiations.

Nice one … just hope some of our fellow countrymen take heed.

Hopefully, people will also realise that most of the simple actions you listed, also make economic sense in reducing their electricity bills.

So… we have no excuse really…

Sea levels are rising at an increasing pace, and we’re losing glaciers and polar ice caps. Global action on the subject is a long way from being satisfactory or effective. The US demands China to lower their CO2 emissions because China is the worst offender when it comes to emissions. On the other hand, China demands that the US lower emissions since the US has the largest carbon print per capita. The blame game goes on and in the end – which is coming a lot sooner than we projected – all of us are losing. (Read less) — From the page [...]

Welcome Yaman,

I’m glad we agree. This whole thing was blown out of proportion for no real purpose. I hope this long ongoing feud ends and people start feeling that disagreement on certain topics is not a threat to the “Syrian way of life.” However you define that.

I am glad you wrote this. When I saw the feud, I had a similar reaction to yours. I believe in ridiculing the ridiculous whenever possible, but in our small blogosphere, when there is such a big threat to its existence and to the freedom of bloggers to write what they want to write, it seems to me the entire back and forth was a distraction.

Jabi, yes Anas said it all .
this chart made above is just the real pic we have here.
i don’t think that any would have minded or got offended by having any of these campiegns or reading each others’ thoughts, – coz they are not any different than their previous posts- IF they were naturally brought up to the sphere and not as a response to the first one.
in fact they all looked extra informative and funny, at least to me.
i just wonder why they didn’t follow this policy of “YOU ARE ALWAYS FREE TO SKIP A BLOG” made by one of the bloggers , or is this freedom 7allal for some and 7aram for others!!

Regards

Razan,
I read two blog posts when I came up with this conclusion. The first was Abu Fares’s response to a campaign or initiative against masturbation and the second was the post written by the person who started that awareness or blogging campaign. I had no interest in the whole debacle in the first place.

The issue is not arabic or english blogging it is an issue of different opinions and the perception that different bloggers get when someone expresses an opinion on their own blog. Why is it ridiculous (a comment said by alot even on some responses here) to start a blogging campaign to raise awareness to the negative effects of masturbation? Abufares in his latest post wrote “disparity of opinions should never degrade to a personal conflict.” and this is exactly what happened.

It is not necessary that a person mentions the word masturbation in order to ridicule the topic, i can ridicule and mock an issue that you raised by not mentioning the main issue in the first place. Again check Abu fares’s post on “Blogging week against anal orifices” and you would see that these are responses to the initial campaign against masturbation, or am i wrong?

The way that some people reacted to the campaigns that happen to be in the Arabic Syrian blogosphere, were in a way that whatever issue was raised was meant to limit the personal freedom of other members in a society by bringing back islamic values, and this is true for any situation where islam and secularism.

Correct me if i was wrong but didn’t the masturbation campaign contain some islamic elements within?

An individual islamic perspective and not the perspective of all the different sects within islam. I didn’t read everything about the campaign, all I read was a couple of responses in english to those campaigns, and since I have been following some of those blogs for a while now I know that those people disagree with most of the things that are said from an islamic perspective, therefore it is not baseless and is not bad faith.

Again it is an islamic perspective of an individual. It is not a myth, we all know that there are different sects within islam however they mostly only differ in more important elements of the islamic faith.
