“May I taser him?”……. Then shortly after, 40 year old Robert Dziekanski was dead…
The video is quite disturbing, and you just can’t help but feel a mixture of anger, revulsion and sadness……
Sadness because this death was so unnecessary, and anger because this happened in a supposedly civilized country, at Vancouver International Airport, with a whiny ass Mounty asking his superior for permission to pass 50 thousand volts of electricity through an obviously distressed man, with the same childish attitude as a kid asking his mom for a new puppy.
The fact that Canadian police, being the unfacist, disciplined and modern professional police force that they are, added insult to injury and immediately put a spin on the incident, saying that the guy had attempted to attack them…….so they felt that the incident was justified self defense…
Of course, when the video of the whole thing was released, they quickly scurried off into a little hole, hid their heads up their asses, and stated that the matter was “under investigation”
Seems truly amazing to me, that in this day and age, in a supposedly civilized part of the world, there can be so little compassion, understanding, and just down right simple common sense and decency. I mean, the guy was a Polish immigrant who was flying for the first time, knew no English and had been stuck in an Airport terminal for 10 hours waiting for his mother to pick him up, with no one, not even airport staff or cops, offering to help. Wouldn’t you expect him to get a little frustrated? wouldn’t you expect him to try and draw some attention to himself?…. well the only way he could do that was by picking up some chairs and throwing them around….as obviously, no one at the airport had the intelligence to get a translator and find out what was going on……. much easier just to taser the bugger………….
Brilliant, half a dozen brave Candian Mounties, wet their pants and get scared shitless by a middleaged Polish man brandishing a “deadly” coffee table…..so they electrocute the poor bastard to death….
in the end, its:
Fascits: 1
Poor immigrants : nill

A couple of days ago, while I was watching TV, the term “coulrphobia” phobia of clown was mentioned. I didn’t know that such a terminology existed; I thought I am the only one who really hated and feared of stupid clowns. Maybe a lot of people see clowns as funny with their colorful cloth or their red noses, for me it’s scary.
My story goes back to the day I first saw the movie” IT” a 1990 horror movie ,based on Stephen king novel. I can’t remember how old I was, but that was really one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, especially when it comes to the scenes where “IT” appears in bathroom or blood started to pump up from the tape, at the time I hated going to toilet alone lol !!
I looked up in the dictionary on line, and I was amazed by the numbers of phobias we have. Did anyone ever heard of fear of feces “coprophobia”, I suppose he/she never go to toilet or what!!! Even when I searched for pictures of clowns, most pictures were either for scary clowns or sad ones! Where is the fun in that…Huh?
The history of clowns goes back to ancient Egypt, where they were called “fools” most fools suffered from some physical and mental deformity and were given to the local landlord as a charge, because their families were unable to look after them, and the surrounding communities often feared them, However, being perceived ‘idiots’ they were often the only people in court who enjoyed free speech, and during the 16th century, especially in France, actors began to train as fools, often in order to have the ability to make satirical comment. “Wikipedia”.
I believe media has played a major role, in portraying clowns as evil or scary. Especially in scenes where the boy tries to sleep but his clown toy is sitting on a chair, staring at him!!
i wanted to add pic..but was scared of his look,especially the one of the movie !!!
I just found out that yazan badran’s parents passed away in a car accident, while I was writing in one of the groups on facebook; actually I was really shocked and sad even though I don’t know yazan, but always enjoyed reading his blog ….I am really sorry for your loss….may their soul rest in peace
إنا لله و إنا الية راجعون
Well I’ve always believed in this….maybe their government is smart enough that it makes it’s people live in a bubble were they have no idea about what is going on in the world….only through stuff they see on TV …and through a certain agenda which is previously made for them…anyway, who cares if they are stupid or not, they r dominating the world in everything soo!!

I found this video on you tube…as it is shown…when I was searching about Syria. Anyway…I don’t know should we laugh or cry when no one knows where Syria is…which I believe is taking a huge part these days in media …since the assassination of prime Minster rafiq al-hariri …and the Iranian nuclear thing…is this ignorance from the west or should we wait for America to launch a war “Allah la y2der” so that everybody knows that such a country exist …!!

I must say that I really admire Asma abdol-hamid courage for standing in front of these obstacles and refusing to take off her hijab…..if women are not allowed to wear hijab in parliament , then I guess Jews should also not allowed to wear the kippah or yarmulka !!
COPENHAGEN – With a headscarf elegantly draped over her hair, Asmaa Abdol-Hamid, a Palestinian-born Dane, has sparked a heated debate in Denmark by declaring that she would wear her veil in parliament if elected in 2009.
A member of the ex-communist Unity List, Abdol-Hamid has a good chance of becoming what could be the first veiled Muslim in Europe to be voted into parliament. The 25-year-old social worker and former television host from the Danish city of Odense is known for her commitment to politics and equal rights, as well as her headscarf and her refusal to shake hands with men.
But the prospect of a woman in parliament wearing the traditional headscarf, or hijab, has further disrupted sensibilities in Denmark, a country still shaken by last year’s Mohammed cartoons row that swelled from a domestic Danish affair into a worldwide crisis pitting Muslim values against Western ideals.
Muslims make up 3.5 percent of Denmark’s population of 5.4 million.
A recent poll showed 48 percent of Danes believe Muslim women have the right to wear a headscarf in parliament but the same number are opposed to the idea, with 4 percent undecided.
A spokesman for the far-right Danish People’s Party (DPP), Soeren Krarup, was among the first to react to Abdol-Hamid’s pledge, calling her headscarf a “totalitarian symbol” similar to “the Nazi swastika.”
And a DPP member of the European Parliament, Mogens Camre, said Abdol-Hamid “needed psychiatric treatment.”
But harsh words have not deterred Abdol-Hamid, who moved to Denmark at the age of five with her Palestinian parents. She has rejected her critics’ view that she is an oppressed woman and defends her “right to be different.”
She was recently designated by her party as a candidate for the Copenhagen constituency ahead of the February 2009 general election, and polls show she is well-placed to win a seat in the national assembly.
Although other Muslim women have won seats in European parliaments – in Belgium and Bulgaria – none have worn the veil.
In secular Turkey, which straddles the Western and Muslim worlds and hopes to one day become a member of the European Union, parliament was thrown into an uproar in 1999 when a member of a now-defunct Islamist party showed up wearing her headscarf to take her parliamentary oath.
She was prevented from doing so as lawmakers protested loudly, and shortly thereafter she left Turkey.
Abdol-Hamid is confident that things will turn out better for her; she is used to breaking new ground.
A poised young woman with a broad smile, she made Danish headlines last year when she became the first television host in Denmark to wear a Muslim headscarf.
But the head of the Danish People’s Party, Pia Kjaersgaard, whose anti-immigrant party has grown into a political force to be reckoned with, is not convinced by Abdol-Hamid’s self-assurance.
Kjaersgaard said she “feels pity” for a woman who “tries to make everyone believe that the veil gives her freedom,” adding that the headscarf is “often imposed on very young, innocent girls by authoritarian men.”
Abdol-Hamid insisted that is not the case for her.
“I am free with this piece of material on my head. It is a choice that I consider to be right. And I prefer to greet men by placing my hand on my heart. But I would never insist that others do it,” she said.
For her, winning a seat in parliament is “a way for a Danish Muslim woman to show what she is capable of, and to fight for her ideas such as the struggle for equality between men and women.”
She said she believed firmly in “the separation of religion and politics,” and has said that she would not ask for a prayer room in parliament if elected.
While criticism of her has been harsh, she does have backers.
Several Danish imams have called on Muslims to vote for Abdol-Hamid but most of her support comes from ethnic Danes on the left-wing.
Elsebeth Gerner Nielsen, a member of the opposition Radical Party and a former culture minister who was scandalized by far-right attacks, recently greeted journalists and press photographers wearing a headscarf.
She insisted on Danes’ “right to be different” and stressed the importance of freedom of expression and the need to counterbalance the “nationalist and closed-minded” far-right which “demonizes Muslims who wear headscarves.”
“What is important is not what we have on our heads but the opinions we express,” she said.
Gerner Nielsen has, however, been criticized by a former party colleague, Naser Khader, a moderate Muslim who accuses her of “playing into the hands of Islamists” – a point of view shared by Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Blair announced that he’ll be buggering off this summer. Good riddance I hear you say…ah yes, but hold yer horses a minute, who’s going to stop Bush from bombing media stations? Especially a certain Aljazeera in Qatar, a country allied to the U.S.
No one? not even Gordon brown? A shame really, I liked Aljazeera, especially all the Jerry Springer stlye fights and verbal abuse in the debates programmes.
Oh well, it seems to be another case of “you never miss it till it’s gone away”. Bye bye Mr. Blair, we’ll miss how you steadfastly supported the U.S while it bombed people and invaded countries. Who can forget all the good times we had together? Iraq, Guantanamo, AbuGhreb, the C.I.A abductions and tortures….oh those were the times, we had so much fun. And now forever shall they be assigned to history, as part of your legacy to the world. A legacy of a shriveled pathetic man, who pursued his religious ideology with Machavelian zeal, to the point of murder and destruction, disregarding the wishes of his own people, and readily sacrificing their sons in a pointless war. Your average run of the mill despot I’d say, but chillingly reminiscent of his own sworn enemy, AlQaeda.
“Blair” ponder that word carefully…..say it again slowly, relishing all the sylables…. Bbbb-Laaaayy-rrrr …. what does it remind you of? don’t know? clueless? Here’s an interesting fun experiment you can try, turn on your tape recorder, and record the previous Bbbb-Laaaayy-rrrr. Now play it back to your grandma, or favourite relative, which ever happens to be closer, ask them what they think that sound is…..
9 out of 10 times the answer will be: ” sounds like a sick dog vomiting a turd it’s just eaten”…(the other 1 time your chosen relative would have been too deaf to hear it, repeat experiment and change relative).

Maybe I wouldn’t be so upset if Segolene Royal wasn’t so hot……. then again when I think of the other candidate, I can see that I’m upset for all the right reasons!
I’m upset because someone who calls the frustrated, unemployed children of immigrants “scum”, and orders their beating and arrest without addressing any of their issues, is hardly worthy of leading the nation which brought Liberty, Equality and Fraternity to the world….then again, when you consider just how much “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” the French brought to their former African colonies, suddenly it becomes fitting that a fascist prick such as Sarkozy should lead the French, keeping in tradition with the long line of countless mad despots that France has had throughout the centuries… louises, Napoleons et all….
So it seems the French are gearing up for another round of native bashing, albeit this time right at home on French soil. Sarkozy is calling on immigrants in France to be “more French” to integrate into French society. Now what in Gods name can that mean? Most of these unfortunate immigrants were born in France, and lived there their entire life. Perhaps it means that they have to wear berets, eat more frogs with their baguettes, and sip Château Margaux while munching on a slice of Camembert on the porch of their cottage located in a quiet rural spot in the countryside? I actually think that most immigrant youth would love to grow up to be wine sipping middle class poofs like their “true French” counterparts, if only someone would give them a job, help them out of their poverty and stop treating them “like scum”.
Congratulations Mr. Sarkozy, yet again the score in Europe, as was before in the States and Australia, is: common sense -nill, bigoted gits- 1…

Cho Seung-hui AKA Lara Croft!
32 dead in Virginia and the world is in uproar. It makes front page headline news in all the international media for 5 days. heads of state and foreign ministers send condolences, candlelight vigils, mass rallies, cries for change, harrowing eye witness accounts, video footage, reports , documentaries, analysis……all of the world’s press descends on Virginia Tech….
100 people a day are massacred in Iraq… hardly anyone notices….just another by-topic to include somewhere in the news broadcast…. just this week 178 people were blown to bits in car bombs in Iraq… where are the candle lit vigils for those people? where are the outpouring of grief? where are the letters of condolences from heads of state? where are all the voices calling for change and something to be done?
Ofcourse, the massacre in Virginia and the massacres in Iraq have one thing in common, they were both caused by a crazed, deranged individual…….in one case it’s a student, in the other it’s a president!
The real irony is that apart from the obligatory increase in flags that Americans resort to when they’ve “been had”, there’s almost no serious steps being taken to insure that a “mini-Iraq” doesn’t happen again in the states. Americans are still wondering how it could have happened….! as if it doesn’t happen every other month! the only real talk of taking action, is directed at stopping deranged nuts before they start going Rambo, just another f****d up misfit from the Americana/holywood/media/mtv pop culture delusion where everyone is supposed to be white, good looking, rich and successful. Those who fail to fit into this distorted category and aren’t pretty enough or rich enough view themselves as worthless or find themselves being outcasts ….which leads to head cases like Mr.Cho Seung.
As if the fact that 200 million guns amongst the populace wasn’t a valid reason……nah, it’s the fault of a crazed lunatic….he did it, not the guns…..can you then please explain to me how that very same crazed lunatic could have killed 32 people if he was armed only with a kitchen knife?
Watching these events unfold in the states is more than pathetic, it’s quite sickening. what valid reason can there be for American people to be the most heavily armed population in all of human history? What argument for gun ownership can possibly out weight the consequences for it? the countless massacres and gun related deaths?
Not content with keeping their violent murder culture to themselves, Americans are now exporting violence wholesale to the world….Iraq is currently the unlucky recipient, but it’s coming soon to a country near you…..
Wake up people, Virgina x3 is happening everyday in Baghdad……
i found this quite intresting to know!!
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA – A study released Thursday indicates that more women than men go online in the United States, defying the perception of the Internet as a male-dominated realm.
Approximately 97.2 million women use the Internet in the United States, compared to 90.9 million men, according to research by eMarketer.
“There are absolutely more things women do online than men do,” said eMarketer senior analyst Debra Aho Williamson, author of the “Women Online” report.
“Women are the supreme communicators and the Internet makes it easier for them to communicate and socialize.”
For example, Williamson added, women and girls make up the majority of the users on popular social-networking Web site MySpace while only 45 percent of the audience at video-sharing Web site YouTube.
“Social networking, in general, is very big with women,” Williamson said. “Particularly young women interested in meeting people and talking with friends. It fits very well with the lifestyle.”
Seventy-eight percent of male US Internet users will watch video online this year while 66 percent of the female users will, according to eMarketer.
Reasons given for the difference in video-viewing proclivities included men adopting new technologies faster than women and having greater access to high-capacity broadband Internet connections needed to handle data-rich video streams.
When women watch online video, they are most interested in news, weather, music, and movie clips, according to eMarketer.
Women are less likely than males to visit video Web sites and not drawn to “silly videos” such as those abounding on Google-owned YouTube, Williamson said.
Women are inclined to use the Internet to accomplish tasks instead of as a diversion, according to the eMarketer report.
“Females, especially adult women, are more likely to use the Internet to get things done, rather than to have fun,” the eMarketer report states. “Many adult women, busy juggling work with their relationships and child-caring responsibilities, don’t have time to surf the Web for video.”
More women are expected to take up viewing video online in coming years as broadband connections become ubiquitous and television shows that they like are made available on the Internet, according to eMarketer.
“Early data indicate that female teens are as enthusiastic as male teens about online video,” Williamson said. “The networks are well-positioned to drive greater female online video usage by offering more programming that appeals to females, particularly adults.”
When women play online they prefer “casual games,” such as computer versions of board, card, or word games, over battle games with proven appeal to the opposite gender, according to eMarketer.
The eMarketer study estimates that 66.2 percent of female US residents three years of age or older will use the Internet this year as opposed to 64.2 percent of male residents in the same age range.
Women outnumber men by approximately 5 million in the United States, according to 2005 census figures.
“Even within the populations of men and women you see more women than men using the Internet,” Williamson said.
