Days are passing rapidly...
I am expected to leave to Beirut on Thursday. Vacation of course. Ten days only.

Passing by all these "super" Arab productions that come always to the screen during the month of Ramadan makes me sick. I see the "super" bad quality of these productions. Very few are the ones that have a moral or let us say a realistic theme to be monitored. Few of those few are well done, artistically speaking. Because normally, you won't find well done productions with bad scripts in the first place.

Few days ago, Dr. Qaradhawi here in Qatar started a universal project about the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in order to let the foreigners know who the prophet is, and what did he call for, etc...

In few hours, there was more than ten million Qatari Riyals in donations for the project (3 million dollars). I feel sad when people spend their money just because of titles and do not look into the contexts. There is ALOT of money in the Arab world. On the streets here LAND CRUISERS (which are sold for more than 200,000 QRs) almost account to the same numbers of other "normal" cars.

I think that Arab wealthy people need more financial advising as to how spend their money wisely.

Oooops - gotta run! I think I made my point anyway.
