Seriously??!!

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

fan

i read this unbelievable news in alqabas newspaper about this sheikh in saudi who issued a fatwa forbidding women from switching on the air conditioning in the absence of their husbands!!!! yes, this is true... not a joke at all!! the reason behind this thoughtful fatwa is that air conditioning in the house means the presence of a woman in a chilled environment, which encourages men to commit immoral acts!!

wth??? seriously now?? first of all one has to be stalking a woman in order to determine whether or not she is alone in that house or not, no? normally, no one can tell.

now let's assume that these women are cheaters and they call their partners in the absence of their husbands, is turning the air conditioning off a show stopper? really? why not put the lights off too? you know if the lights are on, it means women are in the house and this will greatly encourage immoral activities, especially in the evening - so no air conditioning and no lights, seems like the perfect place for a hot date!!

some men and their sick minds! cure the minds and all will be good.

It’s meant to be…

RIP-Antoine

last week ended on a very sad news from school as a 16 year old kid drowned to death in qadsiya club - the story broke a lot of hearts and everyone was in tears, however nothing compares to the sorrow of the kid's parents - what a loss this kid, he was an athlete but still he lost his life for something silly.

it seems that this kid loves to deep dive holding his breath, he used to go with a friend to qadsiya swimming pool and exercise there - last wednesday his friend wasn't available so antoine decided to go alone, his friend told him not to dive alone, but the kid wouldn't listen.

antoine went to qadsiya and deep dived alone, his ear drum however couldn't support the pressure and exploded - antoine couldn't support the pain and water filled his lungs, he was gone in 3 minutes.

ears, how sometimes they fail us! in antoine's case his ears failed him twice that night, the first time when they didn't listen to his friend's advice, and the second time when they surrendered to water pressure taking the kid's life away, silently without making the slightest sound...

somehow this was meant to be, i truly believe that everything happens for a reason - what makes us sad, angry and disappointed with life is the fact that we don't always know the reason for such dramatic events - all what we can say is god bless antoine's soul and give his parents the strengths to get through this tragedy.

Killing pride!

begging-child

i read this sad story on arabtimes online about this poor girl who got beaten and tortured physically & mentally by her dad and brother for refusing to beg.

of course the beating caused injuries all over her body, but what i want to stop at is her moral injury - did her dad & brother realize what they have done? they just killed a woman's pride and self-esteem - god forbids, if one day she turns into a prostitute, it will be because of her dad & brother, they just planted the wrong seed in an innocent and proud soul.

killing a human's pride is as bad as killing a soul, these guys should be punished and thrown in jail.

Remembering mom…

school-bus

when i was a kid, we used to go to school by bus and i for as long as i can remember, my mom used to always ask me to be aware of bus drivers, especially if i am alone - i never knew the reason behind her constant reminders, and i always wondered, rightfully as an innocent child, what will that driver do to me?

when i grew up, i understood her motives, and reading this story on arabtimes online made me really sick! it's about this bus driver who basically forced a 6-year-old child to perform oral sex at the parking lot of a private school in jleeb alshuyoukh - the kid returned home and obviously skipped dinner, when his parents interrogated him he confessed.

how can someone do this to a 6-year-old child? how can someone deprive a child of his innocence in such a horrible way? i don't want to pinpoint or blame anyone, maybe the mother did her job and alerted her child, but for those who take this lightly, i invite them to be very careful and to inform their children of the presence of such monsters - nothing is safe!

Not a horror movie!

fayhan-al-ghamdi

i am sure you came across this story on news webs, i tried to forget it but i couldn't.. it made me so angry i decided to write about it and vent my anger and frustration..

this father & preacher's crimes and sins are so sick i don't even know where to start... first he accused his kid of not being a virgin and took her to a doctor for virginity inspection! excuse me!! a 5-year-old?? imagine the trauma she went through because of her sick father - then, probably after making sure she was a virgin, he rapes her in every possible and imaginary way, breaking her back and tearing her rectum apart - then, after realizing that she was bleeding beyond repair he tries to burn her rectum in an attempt to close it!  but that was not enough, he beat her to death, crushing her skull and breaking her ribs!!

what kind of animals that person is? is he really a preacher or the devils' representative on earth? how can he talk about god when he is capable of such atrocities to an innocent soul?? but that doesn't end here... it seems that the saudi authorities have a different take on this, they just released the monster out of prison after serving just a few months and paying blood money.

i am speechless, my prayers go to that poor angel, i am sure she is in heaven and hope she never sees her father again! for more on this you can read the full story here.

Adding insult to injury!

Best-ever-revenge-for-cheating

i read yet another sad story on arabtimes online and this time it's about this poor woman who came back home with her kids to find her husband in her bed, but with another woman - when she complained, she was beaten by the stud, and to add insult to injury, she left the house accompanied by the "woman in bed"..

how insulting is that, leaving your own house accompanied by the woman who was sharing your husband on your own bed? to start with, how did this idiot bring a woman home when his wife and kids are expected to be in? what an animal..

to end this story on a positive note, i found this hilarious billboard on the net, enjoy...

And here’s the killer…

avenues-killer

i received the killer's image on whatsapp, it seems he is just a kid, born in 1990 and without a nationality (bedoun) - after the fight over the parking spot, he headed to carrefour where he bought the knife, then followed the dentist and killed him!

i can't believe this! he basically planned his murder, it wasn't even in the heat of the moment! i don't understand this generation, guys this is not a video game, this is real life, a man is dead, he is not gonna wake up again and continue level 2!!! wake up!

RIP Dr. Jaber Yussef

dr-jaber-yussef

though we're in lebanon for the holidays, we received this very sad news about this lebanese dentist who was stabbed to death by 4 saudis young men at the avenues following an altercation over a parking spot - we were sent this link on kuwaithere blog, and it is so sad to read the reason of his death!

we always complain about security in malls and raise awareness against violence, when are we going to see some security measures reinforced in public areas? this is a mall and this guy was killed publicly, in front of other people... it is so sad..

may his soul rest in peace and we pray god to give his parents the strength to get over this.

there is a video that you can watch on 248am, it is quite graphic.

12 men gang-rape!!

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012

i was shocked by this gang-rape story on arabtimes online about two men who kidnapped a filipina domestic worker by the jahra coop and took her to the desert where 10 other member of the gang awaited in a tent - they all engaged in a gang-rape and took turns in sexually assaulting her!

i am not sure what kind of savages some areas host, but how can these animals (sorry but i couldn't call them people) be so mean? don't they have sisters or mothers? do they know the scope of the physical & psychological damage they have caused this poor soul..

there are different types of rape, ranging from war rape, to anger rape, spousal or prison rape... but beside rape of children, gang-rape is one of the toughest on women - studies show that victims of group sexual assaults were more likely to contemplate suicide, and seek therapy than those involved in individual assaults..

may god give this woman the strength to get over this barbaric & traumatic experience and i hope these kids rot in jail.

Desperate youth…

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

i read this sad post on the kuwaiti godfather blog, describing the emotional & physical state of the youth in kuwait - tkg is a real nice chap looking for love, he wasn't all that lucky in the real world so he turned to social media apps like ebuddy xms, kik messenger, palringo, nimbuzz, whoshere, just say hi, skout, badoo, banjo, live profile, etc..

but instead of finding love, tkg found the shock of his life! he found prostitution, racism, segregation but most importantly, he found desperate youth, like this 20-year-old girl on whoshere - not sure if you can read her question, i'll translate: "pleaaaaase answer!! anyone knows a doctor or clinic that stitches a deflowered girl, tell me.."

i don't know what to say, i am shocked to read this too - poor girl, what brought her into this dire situation! that cry for help is seriously alarming, she is so young and desperate she broke my heart! this desperate measure is only a reflection of the society that refuses to accept her choice, forcing her to go through this twisted and dangerous way.

thank you tkg for giving us the permission to write about this.

More irresponsible parents…

Sunday, November 25th, 2012

we were at ikea over the weekend and as my husband went to order food, this 2 year old girl comes my way mumbling mama - the girl was obviously lost, so i tried to understand what her mom's name was, but the only word she could speak was mama! then a kuwaiti woman comes for help and tries to understand her mom's name, but in vain..

we called security and a few minutes later her mom was found.. she was ordering food!!! how could she leave her girl behind?! she just assumed that if she leaves her kid in that small playground, she would be safe!! kids walk around and go places, they are not static objects like chairs.. you can't leave them somewhere and expect to find them where you left them!

according to the security guy this is like routine work now! it seems that many mothers leave their kids unattended at the restaurant while they're busy ordering food!

the good thing is ikea's security cameras are planted almost at every corner of the store, so you can tell where your kids are and they can be spotted in case they are lost - but why go through this ordeal and let your kids experience this trauma? there's nothing worse for a child then to be lost!

Hepatitis A outbreak, true or false?

Sunday, November 18th, 2012

there has been strong rumors of a hepatitis A outbreak in kuwait, but the conflicting reports are making things even worse.

we first read about it 2 to 3 weeks ago, but then everybody told us these are rumors, it's all good - then we read in alqabas a few days ago that the rumors are rather true and that the ministry of health is being very discrete to avoid panic.

yesterday, we spotted 2 conflicting reports on arabtimes, one that says that the minister of health refutes rumors of an outbreak, "arguing that there is no reason for the public to panic because the statistical data on hepatitis A cases over the last few years show kuwait is not facing an epidemic - he pointed out the cases reported during those years fall within the average range".

the second report says that 30 hepatitis A cases were reported to the infectious diseases hospital and that "the preventive medicine department has been trying to find reasons behind the spread of the disease for three weeks but until now no result has been announced."

not sure whom to believe! in any case, if you suddenly feel cold, then witness a sudden rise in temperature and liver enzyme levels, in addition to yellowish eyes, you better go see a doctor, that would definitely be hepatitis A.
