WALEG: Various Subjects ArchiveSeptember 14, 2007Taboo Topics on Movies & TV Series
It seems that more and more writers and respected celebrities are deciding to make the subjects of their movies or series more and more controversial! It started a few years ago with ‘Mothakarat Moraheka’ which tackled the issue of adolescence and the changes and needs of that time in every girl and boys life. Posted by WALEG at 11:00 AM September 10, 2007Why Watch The News?!A group of my friends realized how many males especially are pinned in front of the news for hours even though the news hardly changes every hour and so we decided to do a small survey. We asked 100 males which news channels they watched most often and how long they watch it for and which channel had the most attractive presenters. The results were not very surprising! Al Arabiya was the most popular Channel which many of the men watched for up to 6 hours a day. Continue reading "Why Watch The News?!"Posted by WALEG at 07:15 PM July 21, 2007Should Shisha be Banned?
The Cafe or 'Il Ahwa' as it is known in the Arabic language is a huge and practically monumental part of the modern Arabic culture. It is common to see tables & chairs from cafes flooding on to streets and even blocking walkways and pavements. Like the West is renowned for local bars and pubs and punters eager to get away from work worries or family worries and drink themselves half to death, the Middle-East is known for its alternative getaway. Continue reading "Should Shisha be Banned?"Posted by WALEG at 07:40 PM July 18, 2007New Age Soft Porn in the Arab World?
It is a harsh and painful reality, if one perhaps that is swept under the carpet; ordinary Arab girls are being exploited not only by men equipped with recording devices but also by their own will as they parade in front of cameras without a care in the world. These girls neglect to think about consequences of being recorded; namely where their shameful antics will end up. It is difficult to understand why a girl would allow herself to be filmed in compromising positions, at times wearing very little. The sheer quantity of internet videos with ‘Arab girl content’ is shocking. Their actions lack sensuality; in fact many subjects resemble mating baboons with their dance techniques… Not wishing to relate this to the corrupt celebrity videos that have demeaned sex; but this type of video has received such hysteria and propaganda that it is almost impossible to divorce the idea that everyday girls are under an influence to stand in front of a camera and be sexual; failing dismally to be sexy.

A recent study showed that more than half of the Saudi youth believe they are better then any other nation. The study included nearly 6,000 Saudi youth in different principle locations; 50.5 % from females believe that they are the best and 46.5 % from males believe the same. The research studied the relationship between the age, educational level and geographic area and the level of racism. It showed that as much as they are old and more intellectual, the less they are racist. The research blamed the educational system in the middle level that it contributes in the increase of the racism.

No one can deny the fact that the Internet has opened up a bigger world and wider opportunities for people of all ages. In the online realm everyone are equal. Celebrities and ordinary people alike have all the right to say what they want and reveal what they want. Every one of us has the innate desire to share something of ourselves to others…to reach out and I think this is why networking sites have become so popular. There is just something about belonging to a certain community in the web even though you’ve just interacted with them virtually.

Nancy had her Coca- Cola advert, Amr Diab and Hayfa worked with Pepsi but the one that beat them all was Elissa. Not only is Elissa the new ‘face’ for Lux and has an advert featuring her that is repeated TV and her own bar of soap but she has also signed a contract with the Gold Manufacturers ‘Lazurde’ and ‘Vogue’ for sunglasses.

Some of the jobs that these celebrities whom we all love used to do will shock you! Mohammed Abdu who is internationally acknowledged as one of the best started his career early but as a boy he helped out his less fortunate family by selling marbles and nuts and he doesn’t have a higher education degree! Who would have thought when he sounds so intellectual when he talks; I guess the world teaches you more than school!

If you are a chocolate addict then for sure you have also tasted the one of a kind and all original flavors of M&Ms. Children, teens and even adults can’t sometimes resist the taste of this particular chocolate. But like in other kinds of food, the appearance or presentation also plays a great part in creating the desire to eat the stuff. So you can see that presentation is a great key to opening new doors and this is exactly what the M&M Company has done. M&Ms has now joined in on the fray for online interactivity.

Elissa: The biggest surprise for charming Elissa is that she will most probably get engaged.

If you are a gamer (or just a person who enjoys funny things) you'll love this wedding cake!
This woman loved games so much, she made the whole wedding cake into video game systems!! The bottom layer is an Xbox 360, on top of that is the PS2, then an Xbox with, if you could notice, the DVD remote sensor in the controller port. On the top is the limited edition 'Legend of Zelda' GameCube. All, of course, with little icing controllers. And such attention to details! The handle is sculpted out of fondant for the GameCube, and air vents were pressed into the cake.

1. Saddam is clearly the scapegoat for an international war syndicate, which includes many in our current political leadership, both in front and behind the scenes. Evacuating due process, controlling evidence and terrorizing the prosecution team were all par for the course in Saddam’s trial. A key reason for the speedy road to execution, was to eliminate a prominent player and key witness of this international criminal war conspiracy, thereby avoid further indictment of members of our leadership, many of whom have been accessory to Saddam’s actual crimes.

Young chat with old, Indians to Americans, 'online couples' meet and marry, followers of religions become more confrontational behind the safety net of technology’s distant communication, and paedophiles use it to seek their prey. Cyberspace eliminates much of what being human is therefore presenting people as confident and outspoken. It seizes to reveal characteristics of shyness and true emotion. Online pauses surpass face to face confrontation allowing more controlled reactions. Habits and hygienic behaviour are invisible. Facial expression is invalid unless aided by a potentially deceptive webcam, and even so it is logical to assume occurrences of exaggeration.

It is common and practically a code of gender for any group of giggling gossiping girls to have that oh so imaginary conversation ‘What would make the ideal man?’, or to indulge every so often into that illustrious notion of ‘Who would qualify as Mr Right?’ Of course for each girl Mr Right is different, and indeed one girls Mr Right is another girls ‘…Out of the question…Couldn’t be more wrong!’. Having only ever been acquainted to and falling head over heels for a cue of Mr Wrongs, and failing the task of subjecting one man to the status of Mr Right, the next most convenient and sensible course of action unravels: analyzing every man in the celebrity Kingdom and ripping apart one characteristic or feature from the contenders in something more like mental mutilation in effort to create the perfect man. The practice is virtually logic in any girls maturely imaginative mind…be the object of fascination, him or it resembling something more alien-like than man.

The act of plastic surgery is reputed throughout the world and perhaps has found its place for acceptance, particularly with the upcoming generations who hold fame and celebrity in high regards. Surgery in its many techniques and procedures has certainly become a familiar practise. There are now almost one million surgeries for plastic or cosmetic surgery across the Arab world. The only factor that exists in relation to what would be regarded as wrong is the question and attitudes of beautifying men beyond ironing hair, perfecting teeth, plucking eyebrows and dress sense. It’s possible to say that we are just beginning to be familiar with the new wave of men who style themselves using the trendy and self conscious ‘metrosexual’ criteria.

Hey I have a question: What age do you think is a suitable age to start teaching sex education? And where do you think sex education should begin, at the home or at school? I started being taught sex education at the age of 11 and I was taught it at school having previously never been taught it. As any normal female and particularly an Arab one I think a lot about what I want my future kid/s to learn (if I have any children off course). I've kept a lot of my old mathematical, science and other textbooks and some of my old exercise books so that I can rejuvenate my mind when duty calls for me to be a teaching mother because we begin to teach kids maths at a young age and art and languages...

We've heard recent studies saying that the number was about 100,000 and another saying 50,000 and others suggesting about 150,000 but this new study is way higher than the previous ones. Their conclusion is based on interviews of households and not a body count which suggests that about 600,000 died from violence, mostly gunfire and another 55,000 from unrelated events. However, they also found a small increase in deaths from other causes like heart disease and cancer.

Your West only began to 'accept' multiculturalism in the mid 1900's and it's a constant struggle for anyone of colour to live peacefully in the West. Jesus peace be upon him is a ‘prophet of Islam’ to the person who mentioned him... thus he preached about peace to those of Islamic faith. Have you not taken note how Muslims never attack Jesus? Is it ok therefore to constantly claim freedom of speech when the speech be about Muslims or Islam... do you condone freedom of speech when it subjects a black man to being evil? Or being of no equality to white man? If a man preached this in Western society he would be imprisoned (Freedom of speech only applies when u want it to apply). However if one decides to attack a Muslim for his/ her faith… it is labeled as ‘freedom of speech’ yet again.’ Comments originally posted by Sam on ‘Is the Pope Trying to Piss off Muslims Intentionally?’ Posted by WALEG at 07:43 AM September 14, 2006Change the ChannelEver thought of making your own TV station? Since 9/11 5 years ago, most people have become aware of the clear media bias towards Arabs and Muslims from such channels as CNN and Fox. Oh yes, Arabs complain here and there but no one actually ever did anything about it. Sure, some stations did pop up like Al Jazeera and Abu Dhabi, Al Arabiya and so on but these were all broadcasting in Arabic. Why would I need to tell Arabs about Arab problems?

A furor occurred in the last few days over a Melbourne Muslim girl entering a teenage beauty pageant. Ayten Ahmet, 16 of Turkish origins, was chosen to place in the final 26 of miss teen Australia after beating hundreds of teenage hopefuls defying Victoria’s senior Muslims. A spokesman for Melbourne cleric sheikh Mohammad Omran condemned the girl’s entry and the competition labeling it a “slur on Islam". The interesting thing is that the same controversy did not surround the crowning of Sabrina Houssami, a Muslim girl of Lebanese and Indian origins, to represent Australia in the next miss world pageant taking place soon.

But the average (so-called Christian) American merely echoes the mantra of his Zionist masters as he has been trained to do all his life. Americans confidently state that the Khazar Jews have a right to “defend their country” and that Hezbollah are terrorists, militants, and now, insurgents. What they fail to mention is that those Khazar Jews have about as much right to Palestine or Lebanon as the Chinese have to France, i.e., none. They are simply Jewish squatters on Arab land.

'What did Zionists think was going to happen when they plunked themselves down in the middle of a million Arabs, after slaughtering them to steal their land in 1948? Did they really think they would get away with it indefinitely? Obviously so, since they’ve now set out to conquer more sovereign Arab territory, fully revealing their expansionist agenda to anyone with eyes to see. Only something unexpected has happened on the way to Eretz Israel; they’ve run into a brick wall called Hezbollah, who will not relinquish their sovereignty to the Zionist land-grabbers.

For decades groups of people (mostly men) have gathered to discuss the issue of women's rights. Whether its the right to vote, the right to an education, etc. women have always had to fight to protect themselves from male dominance. as arabs, even when religion has come to our aid and ensured us fair treatment, culture and traditions(enforced by the males) has managed to get us down.

Times which were and are still recorded relentlessly in documents and in non-fictional books such as 'The rise and fall of Rome' and movies such as 'Spartacus', 'Al Risala (The Message)' that we watch for our own purposes. Entertainment, knowledge, to experience the most minute and possibly irrelevant amount of what it might have been like to live there and then, yet what is still only what we imagine then to have been...

Well, for a long time, people have made fun of those women that swim in the pool or sea in their clothes because they don't want to seem nude! A lot of Muslim women have taken the liberty of swimming and enjoying the water while wearing their clothes, or wearing a long tight pants and a black long sleeve top so that they wont show off their bodies after coming out of the water. Now, guess what! Christian conservatives in America have also taken such a path! They are encouraging their women and daughters to wear the new Whole Swimsuit!

When I hear the word racist or racism my heart starts to beat faster do you know why? Well it’s because as much as people would like to deny it nothing will hide the truth that it is all around us. In schools, homes, countries, and even supermarkets. Racism has started a long time ago and yet keeps going on. It is the most hatred most shameful word I have ever heard or has ever been brought to mankind. If you are wondering why I am writing this article it’s because I have been posting comments on waleg for a wile now as most of you all know but, all I have seen is hatred, racism, discrimination, and offensive comments towards one another. It’s either about their country or each other’s opinion and this bothers me a lot and I will do my best to fight against such comments.

Posted by WALEG at 12:32 PM August 27, 2005Female feetIn summer there is a tendency to wear sandals and flip flops mostly by girls… What turned my attention is the difference between European girls feet and Arab girls feet… most girls feet that are originally from Europe are always clean, their toe nails are also clean, something that doesn’t come naturally but it means that they are taking care of their feet. On the other hand, Arab girls don’t take care of their feet, most of the Arab girls leave the color of the polish on their toe nails not well taken care of, and the bottom of their feet are dry and rough which gives the female foot a dirty look… I believe that feet are an important part of our body in many aspects like beauty and health… Why do Arab females neglect their feet?

The Supreme Court in Nebraska just found a law BANNING Partial Birth Abortion to be unconstitutional because it does not offer a clause to protect the health of the mother. For anyone who is unaware, partial birth abortion is done in the 2nd to 3rd trimesters of a pregnancy. Right about the time that the baby begins or has been moving and kicking the mother. They induce labor in most cases. When everything is delivered of the baby except the head, they puncture the scalp to kill the baby.

Posted by WALEG at 06:39 PM April 02, 2005Hate & DiscriminationAs if we need one more reason in the Arab World to have more Hate & Discrimination! LBC Star Academy this year with its season number 2 already created new stars but thats not everything it created! It created more hate and discrimination between people in the different Arab countries... And that hate and discrimination is getting bigger each passing week of Star Academy... Only 2 weeks left for this season... We at WALEG.com urge everyone who is watching Star Academy to STOP NOW this hate. Please respect each other and don't post racist, hateful and insulting comments.

Hariri was a friend to the arab world, to France and to the US. so he cannot be part of a huge plan, instead, they would have given him a greater role in the lebanese politics. moreover, he has a lot of investments abroad. for economic reasons too, they needed him. 2. As for syria, hairir knew it. since he opposed the extension for the pro-syrian president lahoud, he put a great danger to his life. he knew he was gonna be the next victime, as marwane 7mede. when they both expressed their angriness towards syria, they were hit...

While we were working on the usual updates on the site, we read some of your comments and some of them were really very painful and make us really sad... Our nation, what its being called the Arabs or the Arab World, will never have any chance to be a better place or united... NEVER. With all that hate that some of you show when posting a comment or reply to another... How easy it is for you to write such words... :( We really deserve what is happening to us, and I strongly believe that despite all what is happening nowadays, the worse is on the way... SOON!

You will be missed, you were the best thing that happened to lebanon . you rebuilt it after it was destroyed in the civil war... about who did it well,screw everyone who says its America. cuz it's not. americans may do some weird stuff but wtf, they're not this heartless. it's kinda obvious on who did this shit .. first of all, why would americans and israeli's want to do this crap ? I mean they dont have to do that to conquer a place they can just take over... and anyways, we all know harriri was against syrians in lebanon. - Incognito I'm syrian and I agree that syrian troops should get out of lebanon. Hariri was a respectable politicians and a great diplomatic man. He managed to defeat the impossible and rebuild his country. He's a hero and a shaheed. It would be shameful to let his death tear Syrians and Lebanese apart. I doubt that Syrian government did it. The criminal action has brought a damaging consequences to Syria and if anything it fastened Syrian's withdrawel. That is why it does not make sense for Syrian government to do that. I find Hariri's death the excuse the United States needed to interfere in the region. Arabs share same history, Language, and land. The European Union is expanding, the U.S is becoming stronger, and Arabic countries should unite if they want to survive in the coming chapter. - Didi Continue reading "Echos On Rafik Hariri Assassination"Posted by WALEG at 02:28 PM February 07, 2005TV CommercialsWe see lots of commercials while watching different shows or movies on TV; for example on Star Academy prime, it stops more than 3 times for 5 minutes and sometimes more to put TV commercials, also the same thing when watching a movie on Channel 2!

One question to all of you? Do you think that we Arabs are racist?? Do we discriminate against color?? - By Leila Posted by WALEG at 04:44 PM December 26, 2004Just do it!This is such an awesome idea. I am a US exchange student living in Tunisia, and I've learned so much about the Arab culture. We need this idea to get started because the things we see on TV have nothing to do with the reality. I think that everyone should be an exchange student sometime in thier life, but this group idea is definitely the next best thing!!!! Just do it!

We want everyone to come, search, and branch out, to explore things that we're not learning in school books neither were told about in a realistic way on tv's, newspapers...etc. The group or club will also have discussions about culture and living life between cultures, traditions, and religions.

In polls conducted over the course of the summer, for example, more than half of Iraqis said that their country is on the right track... Michael Moore, the mainstream media, and anyone else whose desire to defeat President Bush is more important to them than the fate of the Iraqi people, those who know best what's going on in Iraq—the Iraqis themselves—are optimistic about the future... I recently founded TheTruthAboutIraq.org, which conducts statistical research in Iraq. What do you think about what he wrote?! Before you share your comments, read this and tell me what do you think of what Steven Moore wrote who turned to be a California political consultant who advised Ambassador Paul Bremer and the Coalition Provisional Authority on Iraqi public opinion!
