(...)"The path leading to the scaffold was extremely rough and difficult to pass; the King was obliged to lean on my arm, and from the slowness with which he proceeded, I feared for a moment that his courage might fail; but what was my astonishment, when arrived at the last step, I felt that he suddenly let go my arm, and I saw him cross with a firm foot the breadth of the whole scaffold; silence, by his look alone, fifteen or twenty drums that were placed opposite to me; and in a voice so loud, that it must have been heard it the Pont Tournant, I heard him pronounce distinctly these memorable words: 'I die innocent of all the crimes laid to my charge; I Pardon those who have occasioned my death; and I pray to God that the blood you are going to shed may never be visited on France (...)

Some of you are perhaps much more familiar with Tlemcen than I am, as it is a city I have yet to visit. Amongst us in the Maghrebin cultures, we know of Tlemcen for its history, art, architecture, and music. But the rest of the Arab and Muslim world may not have heard of it much (if at all in the case of many), until recently it was designated a Cultural Capital of the Islamic World for 2011 by ISESCO.
At home we watched on TV the inauguration of Tlemcen and the celebration of this title, and you couldn't help but want to go visit and explore for yourself, as you would with other historic cities in the Maghreb. But what struck me personally, having visited other very historic places in Algeri
has anyone watched generation news on medi1 sat? any reactions, thoughts, opinions? i just watched an episode and it reminded me of how at a certain age we were both critical and yet also know-it-alls.. :o)

I hope Algerians and Tunisians find peace, and I hope Morocco and Algeria's political relations coalesce towards sincere contribution and exchange of resources, education and talent in order to send this distressed North Africa towards a progressive renaissance in all arts and sciences and towards a spiritual strength of which our past remains the only witness to our collective potential and our only role model.
Verses like these from the Quran come to my mind:
Surat Al-3imran Verse 140 "If misfortune touches you, [know that] similar misfortune has touched [other] people as well; for it is by turns that We apportion unto men such days [of fortune and misfortune]: and [this] to the end that God might mark out those who have attained to faith, and choose from among y
I have to admit that recently Moroccan cinema has released some promising productions, at least the ones I watched recently such as: L'Comtable, Yak 7na Jiran (sitcom), 3ouqbal lik (the TV series), Kherbousha, Lamshawsha and perhaps more I'm missing. But let me say this, almost all the modern Moroccan films share one major flaw: a terrible ending. They tend to end suddenly in a disappointing incompetent twist of events almost as if the director et al have ran out of breath. In contrast, I am yet to see an Algerian film that leaves me complaining of how badly it ended. There are many Algerian films that blew my mind away in the past, and many out there I'm yet to find. So I tend to always marvel to my friends and family in how much I admire Algerian cinema and in contrast how much I
Everyone of us had dreams at some point in life to achieve something however minute or grand it seemed. I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I don't look at those as dreams. What I experienced were real ideas forming in my mind, sometimes in a blink of an eye - an A-ha moment. Perhaps for the purpose of metaphor people adopted the word dream since some of these ideas could appear too good to be true or be crystallized or maybe because they pass by so fast one barely gets a chance to plan them, or maybe because they seem too naive and infantile. To me, they are the fun projects of life; they can be projected; they can follow a projectile path along your daily activities and stand a chance. They are natural projects stemming from your guts without consulting you; they are an important con
People move around from one culture to another. People defy boundaries. That's how the next great civilization is made perhaps. Or simply, that's how the next great song is made. I always liked this style of music, like the guy put it: psychedelic, gypsy and witchy. It's not crazy, it's not loud, and doesn't make me want to do something silly. It plays in the background and doesn't intrude with my time of being myself when I'm done finding peace in a prayer or when coming home from a long day at work.
I have to observe, and you can correct me, that social scholars or anthropologists usually make revealing, honest and telling analysis about the cultures and communities they study, yet, their analysis rarely if ever influences politics and world relations. Would it be figuratively accurate to say that they speak in a vacuum or would that be simply offensive? Politicians and war generals are usually always looking for the best interest of their respective nations or persons now or within a 4-year term, and that cannot happen if they followed the advice of social and anthropology scholars - which I would guess is usually not to wage wars because all land is sacred and all land is a museum.
So much has been researched and analysed about the Arabo-Muslim communities. The research and
I find it odd that many Muslims have adopted using the term "Moderate" Muslims to somehow justify that they're good people and to score points with the media perhaps. Mr. Rehab, in the video clip below, had good things to say for the most part, yet he used the term more than once and that got me reflecting. Technically, I cannot find evidence that there is such term as "moderate Muslim", please correct me if I'm wrong. Moderate relative to which point of reference? Moderate about what exactly? does this term, as it's being used in the media, refer to Muslims who reject terrorists? does it refer to Muslims who relax some hard-line rules and though decisions Islam brings to their lives? does it refer to a situation whereby a Muslim under necessity chooses to follow an allowance as opposed to
I thought this was a very nice way to give away something as entertaining as an accordion. And I love the song at the credits, anyone knows where I can find it? but all in all, this is from craigslist tv, a series of videos that follow the lifetime of a craigslist ad. Pretty cool idea from craigslist. May be next time I decide to give away my dust-collecting guitar I'd try something similar.
I received this email recently about some deals going on from Royal Air Maroc. The addition of a morning flight from NYC arriving around 10pm. Nice for Casawa and Ghraba who arrive home the same day. May not be attractive for the rest if they have to take another domestic flight, most likely the next day. The second deal is a free Boston-NYC flight. Whenever I hear free I turn on my skeptical mode, because nothing is free. So if anybody knows anything else let us know. I think these are very nice steps and we should thank those in our community who have worked to push RAM to offer better deals. But I personally look forwards to price tags less than $800. I've seen people today practically fly from Boston to Madrid to Casablanca for less than $800. Some fly Boston to Madrid to Melil
