How would you describe the use of a little boy as a tool to support a president or head of state? Pathetic and shameful ... I could conjure up a whole lot of other words too!

Imagine that Syrian actors Sulaf Fawakherji and Wael Ramadan have made their son perform a song that supports Syrian president Bashar Al Assad!

No matter what we all think of the Syrian regime, and no matter to whom the actors loyalty goes to, it's no excuse to get children involved.
Hamza and a bunch of other kids, recorded a song called "Wladek Ya Suria" that shows how the children are in support of the current regime.

After the tragic death of his daughter, rumor has it that Egyptian singer Hani Shaker may decide to retire.
The celebrity circle in Cairo has it that Shaker may decide to retreat from the spotlights and only participate in Religious singing from time to time.
Shaker was very close to his late daughter, Dina. She has left this world and left behind two daughters, twins Malak and Malika.

What do you think? Could this be true?

Could you guess who this is?

How big a deal is it, that women in Saudi Arabia want to drive their own cars?!
Well, it may seems a normal matter all over the world, but it is a VERY big deal in Saudi Arabia!

What a shame it is to treat women as second class citizens! A woman has just as much right as a man to drive herself to the university or the bank or the market!
Is it still logical that in this day and age, the matter of a woman driving a car is made into such a big deal and that women as arrested for it?! What an outrage!
Instead of working hard on advancing technologically or environmentally, the issue of a woman behind the steering wheel is preoccupying decision makers' minds! What a shame!

Sometimes human beings are so cruel and ruthless that they do things not even animals with their wild nature would do!
Would you imagine a father burning his 3-month-old baby boy with a hot light bulb?!
Well, believe it or not, this happened in Algeria, when a 45-year-old man could tolerate the crying of his infant, so the only thing he could think of was burning him with a 200w light bulb, causing him serious burns that resulted in even more crying! What an idiot!
