Ammar Mohammed - AlJazeeraTalk - Doha
 -Aljazeera Talk-In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Sami, we would like to thank you for your time and for giving us this opportunity to talk to you.
We are aware that you studied music and have been in this field for a good period of time; however, we only started hearing about Sami Yusuf few years ago but since then you became one of the most popular personalities.
Why did Sami Yusuf become so popular? Is it the way he sings? Is it the type of art he is delivering? Who is Sami Yusuf and who is his target? |

 Today was with and for the migrants. I was in a short visit to some family migrants, and my way back home in the coach, my ears had to accustom their tunes to migrants talks.
I should not say that the Moroccan migrant population has been in an unprecedented increase, especially since the 1990s – the first generations of migrants started during the colonial era and the years that followed independence, the 1960s. At the university, at primary and high schools, in the street, at home, wherever you go, the talk over migration and what the European Continent could offer for the poor and low classes has become a kind of tradition in the Moroccan society. It is hard to find a family that has no relative(s) in Europe, the major orientation for the Moroccans, though America and Canada are also taking good space in the migrants’ psyche. Some have coined the term ‘The Moroccan Dream’ to refer to Europe. A film with the same title/label was produced not long time ago. Back to my day.

Alaa Malhas - AlJazeeratalk - Beirut
 IT ALL happened on Thursday the 14th of August 2008 in Beirut-Lebanon, the night I decided to write about the irony that shocked me. My friend called me at about 10 pm asking me to take her to the hospital urgently with her voice almost fading. After 10 minutes of rushing to her house along the negotiations with the sarvees (taxi) drivers to give us a ride, we got to a hospital. Now the fun has not yet begun. Wait and see. Reaching there was at first perfect with their good service that was almost impeccable, but what happened inside and later on was all the disappointment and irony I witnessed.
At first a security guy seated us in the waiting area for the nurse to come and probably check and register my friend to the hospital, or maybe that should have been done.

 The former Malay kingdom of Patani is composed of what are now the three Thai provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat. They are home to 1.8 million Muslims or 80 percent of the populace. The most that people from other countries know about this region is that it has a majority Muslim population in a country which is overwhelmingly Buddhist.
Like many of the communities in Southeast Asia, its rulers and then its people embraced Islam and this led them into various societal and behavioural norms that differentiated them from non-Muslim people. Diet, dress and language were all affected, for example.
Thus, The General Union of the Patani Revolutionary Students held a Patani cultural day at the University of Damascus on Saturday 26 July 2008. The event, which showcased the dress, music, language, dance and martial arts of the Patani people, was attended by university students from many different countries.

Mohammed Hashas - AlJazeeraTalk - Oujda, Morocco
 With great sorrow I received the news of the death of the contemporary Egyptian, Arab and Moslem scholar Dr Abdelwahab Almassiri (1938-2008). My sincere condolences to his family, to the Arab and Moslem world, and to humanity.
Almassiri was a moderate scholar who knew what he was doing. Saying few words about him is not enough, but for memoriam I dare to do that here. I first heard of him during a three days international symposium on Thought and Politics organized at Mohamed I University in Oujda, Morocco, in March 2005. It was an opportunity to listen to the deceased and to a number of renowned Arab and Moslem scholars and researchers. Since then Almassiri has become my ‘intellectual friend,’ because I respect and like his beliefs that are founded on ethics, identity, and are most importantly humane.

 Abdullah Badawi the Malaysian Prime Minister and his deputy, Najib Razak, have agreed on the proper timing for a leadership change.
Abdullah has been under pressure to resign from his post after the governing Barisan Nasional's dismal election performance in the general elections in March. For Brisan Nasional, the last election carries its worst results in 40 years, losing its two-thirds majority in the federal parliament and control of several states. The election was widely seen as a referendum on the rule of Abdullah.
The pressure increased after former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced his withdrawal from United Malays National Organization (UMNO). He further urged UMNO members including elected representatives to quit as one group to show no confidence in Abdullah’s leadership.

 Brave New World is written by Aldous Huxley. He was born in 1894, in Surrey, England. His parents were extremely intellectual, and living in such an atmosphere, he was very well educated, at home and later at Eton. Unfortunately, Huxley had an eye disease that left him almost blind.
Almost most of his works, deal with the clash that takes place between the interests of the society and those of the society. This dispute reached its peak in his novel, Brave New World, published in 1932.
In his extremely satirical Brave New World, Huxley, gives us a picture of what kind of life would be in the future. Being of course a writer living among different wars and conflicts, his image of the future wouldn't be so rosy, cheerful, optimistic nor positive one. So, in brief, Brave New World, stands for a dystopia (compare it with Utopia- The ideal city). |

Mohammed HASHAS and Mustapha ABAJ - AlJazeeraTalk - Morocco
 Though each of us thinks of Palestine in solitude, this time we would like to think of it together because it is for everybody and it deserves the attention of everybody, be him/her a Jew, a Christian, or Muslim. We should not say before 1948, rather it is before 1892, the world, especially the Islamic world, was not in discomfort about the situation of Alquds, Jerusalem, because it was in peace within the Ottoman Empire. The majority of the Muslims lived in harmony with both the Jewish and Chritian minority. They all worshipped one God together, though differently. |
