Work continues on Mamnou3 El Intizar. I want to thank everybody for their comments and downloads, and I can assure you that the album is almost finished, and I’ll start working out release options pretty soon.
So far, the track listing includes tracks such as ‘Shafshaq’, ‘Ghali’, and ‘Be3eed’ – which...
I sneezed last week.
It was a good sneeze. It announced itself to my nose with a slight but telling twitch, and when I let it go – it shook through my whole body, and went through like a shock-wave, finding deliriously pleasant release both from my mouth and my nostrils....
Three weeks ago, an Egyptian Muslim mother and wife, four months with child, was stabbed to death in Dresden, the civilian city bombed to the ground by the allies during World War II. She was stabbed in full view of her son and husband, and when her husband rushed to...
I keep getting told that life is not black and white, that I can be too judgmental – that things are not that cut and dried. That the Good is not discrete. That the Good and the Bad hold hands, that they blur into a vague grey.

Giles: “Yes, it’s terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats..and uh…we always defeat them...
