Saddam’s novel to be published next week

AMMAN, Jordan: Saddam Hussein’s family will publish next week a novel written by the ousted Iraqi leader before the US-led war on Iraq, his daughter said on Friday.

“Ekhroj minha ya mal’un” whose title could be translated into “Get out, damned one” tells the story of a man called Ezekiel who plots to overthrow a town’s sheik, but is defeated in his quest by the sheik’s daughter and an Arab warrior.

The story is apparently a metaphor for a Zionist-Christian plot against Arabs and Muslims.

Ezekiel is meant to symbolize the Jews.

Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father finished the novel on March 18, 2003 — a day before the US-led war on Iraq began — and had expressed a wish to publish the book under his name. The three other novels he wrote were simply signed “Its author.”

“It was my father’s will to publish this book,” Raghad said in a telephone interview.

An Iraqi artist designed the book’s cover, she said, and a Jordanian company will first publish the book in Arabic and follow with an English edition.

How to decide what to read…

its funny whats happening with me today, today I decide to change some of my life style, so I charged up my credit card, and decided to purchase some books online but you know what I have forgot?
I forgot to decide what to read, I’m used to tech reading, so I can pick my needs of tech, but right now i’m not able to decide what I want to read about other than tech. and politics, I have no experience in other readings,
well I think I’ll try lightweight novels and see how it will goes.

its all about taxi drivers

Lina Ejeilat wrote about weird & stupid 2 in one bad habbits of jordanian taxi drivers and she start with why males are supposed to sit next to the taxi driver and not in the back seat!!!

Actually my ears is well trained for “ma ma3i fra6a” sorry I don’t have exchange, and my eyes is well certified in Catch-me-if-you-can with car speed meter, & for faces of cars death

actually all of that is acceptable, Taxi driver, be my guest and annoy me with your repeated stories and political analysis most of us is used to this or that
but what cannot accept is to have taxi drivers asking me NOT to use the safety car belt thats damn stupid & ugly, and you know whats happening in summer because they have good income they just ask you first “ween raye7?” where are you going, if the place suits his needs then its ok come in, else Sorry “shouf wa7ad ‘3airi” and the most incridible habbit of jordanian taxi drivers they start asking for double cache after 12.00pm.

not to mention their dirty seats and their load radio they cant even hear what the hell you are going.
