Originally posted by Lira Dear English-speaking press, Make up your mind. Is it Qaddafi, Gadhafi or Gaddafi? Do us all a favour and just call him "Gaddafy", will you? That's how Libyans pronounce his name and it also looks kind of pathetic for a dictator.

lol i hate it when they do that. same with osama/usama bin laden

On Wednesday, in addition to the northwestern city of Misurata, protesters claimed victory in nearby Zawai, where local army units are said to have joined them. Some said there had been intense fighting in the past few nights in the town of Sabratha, home of an important Roman archaeological site 50 miles west of Tripoli, where witnesses on Wednesday reported a heavy deployment of machine-gun toting foreign mercenaries and Qaddafi loyalists known as revolutionary committees.

Hehe, I'm just making fun of this mess, but it makes sense. Classical Arabic had only three vowels (they used to sound like ah-ee-oo) that varied in length (short and long). As more than a thousand years passed since Mohammed (or Muhammad) wrote the Koran (or Qur'an), the language evolved and the pronunciation changed, so the different spellings reflect the battle between the effort to "write like it sounds" and the struggle to "write like it's written".

Because of this, Osama bin Laden is, according to the traditional spelling, Usāmah bin Lādin - see? It's inevitable, really. Learn the script while you can, it's probably worth it.

Damn, it's turned into a civil war over there. And for those here in the US who don't care, you better, your gas is going to go up because of this. The dow has already fallen due to the unrest in the Middle East.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Greece is probably grey because their problems are unrelated to what's going on in North Africa/the Middle East.

Everyone have their bug-out bags ready?

But don't Libyans say "Gaddafi" (with a "g" instead of the "q" and an actual "d" instead of the "th" from Standard Arib)?

fuck that, a Q is a Q, thats how the letter is pronounced in arabic. Only gypsie egyptians say G instead of Q.

btw, i wish someone translated this in english, the clown explains what the word democracy (he says its an arabic word meaning demo=always qrassi=chair, always on the chair i.e. the same leader forever lololol)

I've heard this before. Supposedly, the Saudi royal family were originally Persian Jews.

I wonder what ends up happening to these funds and assets.. Is there an international protocol to this, or do different countries act according to their own jurisdictions?

quote:

BENGHAZI, Libya � Foreign mercenaries and Libyan militiamen loyal to Moammar Gadhafi tried to roll back the uprising against his rule that has advanced closer to his stronghold in Tripoli, attacking two nearby cities in battles that killed at least 17 people. But rebels made new gains, seizing a military air base, as Gadhafi blamed Osama bin Laden for the upheaval.

What is next? Everyone waking up and realizing they are jewish?!

I guess if an Arab kills another Arab or makes another Arab feel bad. That Arab must be a Jew.

yeah man.. even jesus was jewish lol.. Arabs and jews are pretty much the same people the only difference is their religion. (hence jewish being a religion not a race)

Moroccan Jews. I'm looking at you.

Isn't it weird? Most Jews are Arabs that don't recognise the sainthood of Christ, and Arabs are Jews that worship the prophet that came after the messiah.

Go figure.

No. There were plenty of Jews all over the Middle East before religious segregation became more prominent. Arab Muslims, Christians, Jews, Druze etc were quite tolerant of each other back then. Unfortunately, a lot of Jewish communites are sparse or non-existent nowadays.

You know what's funny? My Grandma's family were Jewish but they voluntarily converted to Islam (maybe a bad call? :P). Her father was born Jewish. My Grandfather's next door neighbour and mentor was also Jewish. Back then, things were different. Even these days, plenty of Arabs (including myself and my family) don't discriminate against others based on their beliefs. It's only certain ideologies that we don't welcome. Obviously, this is doesn't account for the majority of Arabs, as the general Arab attitude towards religious tolerance has changed drastically throughout the last century.

those intolerant camel ******s

fuck them.

The way I hope it would work, when the new government in place. Give it back and just hope it goes to helping out the people of the country.
