النحو العربي - كتابة الهمزة في آخر الاسم النكرة...
كيف يكتب الاسم النكرة المنصوب اذا انتهى بهمزة
في التنزيل في الآية المئة و الثالثة عشر من سورة آل عمران
ليسوا سواء
هل هذا حكم خاص بالمصحف
في كلامنا اليومي
بناء على ذلك
أو
بناءا على ذلك
مثل آخر
إكراماً لماضينا و بناء لمستقبلنا

النحو العربي - مسألة اللامات الثلاث المتتالية
يا جماعة النحو مايل و نحتاج الإرشاد

Comments on Vampire Empire: The Greyfriar by...
I really wanted to dislike Clay and Susan Griffith’s Vampire Empire: The Greyfriar because I did not like how refugee European populations fleeing the vampires’ Great Killing, particularly the British royal family, were able to install themselves as rulers of large swaths of Africa from their newly-established capitol in Alexandria, Egypt. How did that happen? If actual European states...

Thank you to everyone who have recently started following me on here. It makes me happy to know that I am reaching people.
Recently Augusta, GA gained a anti-trafficking organization called I’m Aware (www.imaware.tv) and it works to create awareness in the Augusta area of trafficking on a…

The issue with child labor in the rug industry is a perfect example of supply and demand. If consumers demand that items are child-labor and slavery-free, then the industry will change for us. This doesn’t just apply to rugs, but to everything, including chocolate, vegetables, clothing, furniture…the list goes on and on. Make sure the products you are buying are child labor and...

cynthiavankleeck:
Lately I have been sharing links from articles, but this one covers so many areas of trafficking that I wanted to post the entire thing. Since I began spreading awareness about trafficking, there have been a few questions or “argument points” that have consistantly been brought up. One of these is…

Pass me your bottle
Pass me your bottle, Ayman Fadel.
Future’s fears need quenching tears or
jeers of those whom retching rendered.

Courageous
Right actin, right time, right reason, no matter
If you’re honest, you’ve probably not done that ever
Did you tell your co-workers it’s not right to demean
another for being black or Jewish or Chinese?
Did you tell your congregation that their prostration
before their own righteous indignation
is neither service to God nor adoration?
Did you report your...

My Lie is a Curtain Drawn Between Us
My lie is a curtain drawn between us
or rather static in our radio band.
I only hear parts of what you transmit
and my burden interrupts my signal.
Should I tell you what will hurt you?
Should I reveal my source of shame?
You speak words of love and kindess
but I only hear my voice of blame.
It repeats and repeats and repeats
iGuiltMini, iGuiltPro, iGuiltMax!
If I slow down my...

Crossbar
Hitting the crossbar is painful
The ball’s echo hollows my heart
The vibrations of the net loosen my lungs
to fall from my chest
The goalie’s look skyward and prayers of thanks
turn my liver to bile and my stomach to cramps
O wood whose emptiness I love
and whose whitened edges I hate
You are America’s gold and I am Cortez
I am your Ahab and you are my...

My Young Love
I’ve shut off. I know you think if you break enough dishes and throw enough glasses at me that I’ll listen to you. But I’ve shut off. You know I hate your foul mouth, so you ratchet it up a notch. I wonder how we ever began. I realize I must have some psychosis that attracted you to me. I reach the bedroom and lock the door. I’m glad we have a master bedroom. Now...
