So im all middle eastern this morning Salaam/Shalom,Tov toda for gazing at your computer screen and absorbing some of my thoughts.I think its important for us to recognize we all are individuals with different ideologies and so many differences.I have always regarded point of reference as a important tool in our lives,most of what we absorb from a very young age is determined by our family firstly,then the next closest line would be your community that you grow up in.So in between that phase and the next which would be adulthood there is really little space to explore outside of that realms of structured cultural dominance!The internet is for me one big book ,imagine you have so many books in front of you where would you start? So we def need a point of reference and a inquiring mind.It just frustrates the shit out of me when people quote something that they do not have a clue about.I think the internet really is a good place to do case studies,to expand and for some soul searching right.I think that is what i've tried for the last close to 15 years just seeing reaction from people and also how important a role culture and identity places in people's lives.Classic example i just quoted a few lines from Amr Diab


"Habibi, ya nour el ain, 
My darling, glow in my eyes,
Ya saakin khayali.
