Ahmad Nizar Hamzeh: In The Path Of Hizbullah
One of the best books on Hizbullah (*****)
Fawaz A. Gerges: The Far Enemy : Why Jihad Went Global
Good background information on al-Qaeda and why the Islamists globalized their Jihad (****)
Robert Fisk: Pity the Nation: The Abduction of Lebanon
Lebanon's war as witnessed by Beirut-based Robert Fisk. Must read. (****)
Thomas L. Friedman: From Beirut to Jerusalem
Friedman's first and possibly last great book (****)
Moojan Momen: An Introduction to Shi`i Islam : The History and Doctrines of Twelver Shi`ism
Excellent introduction to twelver Shia Islam. (*****)
G. R. Hawting: The Idea of Idolatry and the Emergence of Islam : From Polemic to History (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization)
The Origins of Islam revisited: Islam arose out of conflict with other monotheists. (****)
Alan Moore: V for Vendetta
"Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade... But always order without justice, without love or liberty, which cannot long postpone their world's descent to pandemonium..." (*****)
Alan Moore: Watchmen
Another masterpiece by Alan Moore
Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Director): Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulin
Amelie sets out on a mission to make others happy. But what about herself? A must see. (*****)
Lila Says
Ziad Doueiri's best film to date. A coming-of-age tale centers on a Lolita-esque French teen who is a big tease to a shy Arab kid. (****)
The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Special Extended DVD Edition)
Possibly the best films ever. (*****)
Hezbollah can kiss its panarabist/panislamic image goodbye. The internet and the Arab mass medias didn't exist during the previous war. Those videos are going to be seen from the Gulf to the Atlantic.

This video makes me absolutely sick to my stomach. Shame on those who think that terrorizing Lebanese children makes them a "resistance" movement.

Same here Um K. the video brings tears to my eyes. This is terrible. Even that woman in the video seems to be more terrorized than the kid.

The PR morons of M14 should turn this and other type of footage of humiliated young men and of Mufti Amin's ransacked house in al-Manar type rabid propaganda of "Oppressor-Zionist" style HEZBO abuse and run loops of it 24/7.
Let them taste their own medicine, except what TV station will play that now?

Same sentiment here, UmmK, Doha.
I just about burst into tears at my desk. I'm just so angry I wish there was such a thing as the righteous wrath of God almighty to rain hell on those bastards right about now.
Sadly, there's no such thing.
Posted by: Bad Vilbel | Friday, May 09, 2008 at 04:14 PM
JW--I totally agree. If M14 was smart, they would be milking this (as terrible as it is) for all it's worth. Those pictures of the so-called government supporters who are blindfolded, hands tied behind their backs, don't really evoke sympathies for HA's "cause", whatever the hell that is anymore.
Posted by: Umm K. | Friday, May 09, 2008 at 04:15 PM
Yes Umm K.
Though as bad as it is, the kid seems to be fine. God protect everyone over there.
Posted by: JoseyWales | Friday, May 09, 2008 at 04:23 PM
At least it shows the kid running to hands of his parent. Not being terrorized or teated badly.
He happened to be at bad place, bad time.
May God be with all of us... This is the sad image of war. But please, try to see with both eyes...
Posted by: Rania | Friday, May 09, 2008 at 08:10 PM
Rania, the kid doesn't look like he isn't terrorised. We'll have to remember it is just a "sad image of war" when Qana 3 happens.
Posted by: Another Danny | Saturday, May 10, 2008 at 08:43 AM
This is terror? Why don't you post the images of Qana during the war? See, the people who killed 1000+ civilians during the July war want Hezbollah's Comms network dismantled and Hezbollah disarmed.
And that pussy Siniora and the devil Jumblatt are taking action from within Lebanon to see that happen. Well, Hezbollah will kill the leadership of Lebanon before that will happen. And if the kid crying in this video is a consequence of that happening, then so fucking be it. Yes, it's a tragedy that people have to withstand voilence. But if Hezbollah has to choose the military option over being taken down by ANYONE, then the military option goes. It's the old case of kill or get killed. You all have learnt nothing from Israel and the US - Israel kills, kills, kills in the name of greed and land grabbing but you don't care - you turn a blind eye don't you and wish that Israel wiped out Lebanon's some 1.5 million Shias.
This is how shallow minded you people are. You see a video of a kid crying and cry foul at Hezbollah - you stupid, small minded bunch of American supporting fuckwits!

Mick is the perfect example of an individual who rationalizes the use of terror for his cause just because terror was inflicted upon him by others. He is the epitome of those that have no idea of what is democracy or rights of others. Mick you are a phenomenon, Darwins' missing link.
