Origins
As a few of you might know, I am Palestinian. The blood running through my veins might have some mixed Arab ancestry but the town my father was born in and his father and their fathers for centuries are, for now, under occupation.
It’s one of the last places in the civilized world where one group of people still occupies another. I am neither from Gaza (although my Aunt’s husband is from there and she still lives there) nor am I from the West Bank (although I have family living there as well). No I am from the bit right in the middle where an invading people in 1948 decided to evict the local populace.
Which makes me a refugee.

As promised the following are images of my trip to the Holy cities of Makkah and Madina. During this visit I made a Minor Pilgrimage (Umrah in arabic).
I’m sure some of these images will seem quite exotic to you so if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

One of the perks of having your own blog on your own server is blogging about whatever the heck you want to. I was introduced to Dr. Who back in 2005 when the BBC reintroduced the series … updated, revamped and wicked entertaining.
Here is the latest trailer for Dr. Who … with the new guy (Matt Smith) that replaced David Tennant.
Like every new incarnation of the Dr. I begin with hating the new guy… accepting him… then feeling sad that they’ve decided to leave the show.
