Ashoora? Can't be! (Feb 29 2004 08:48 GMT) - Can't believe the change happening to Ashoora over the last 3 years. I think this is probably the first or only second year that an excellent effort was made not only to commemorate this very special event but attempts are being made to explain its significance to foreigners who normally viewed Ashoora is "it's when the Bahraini people go crazy hitting themselves for a few days in a year!" They also started art exhibitions, plays, blood donation drives and various other cultural events to draw the public - both shi'a and sunna - to experience Imam Hussain and his sacrifice. Another fact, which to me is much more important that the English language seminars, is that there is a real attempt by leaders of the community for real rapprochement between the two main factions in Bahrain (shi'a and sunna) led by leading members of the Royal Family. A "Letter to Imam Hussain" [arabic] from the undersecretary of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs Khalifa bin Hamad Al-Khalifa written and read by him himself at one of the ma'atems (Al-Qassab) a few days ago thrilled the public who listened to it, and created a lot of goodwill for him personally and to the Royal Family when the letter was subsequently published in the local papers. |

Jewish Holidays (Feb 29 2004 08:46 GMT) - In this article, I list all the Jewish holidays and give their dates. I divide the holidays into two types: Religious and National. Religious holidays are obligatory as they were commanded by God. National holidays mark important events in Jewish history but, since they were never commanded by God, they are not obligatory from a religious point of view. |

Tom Friedman on Outsourcing...Part II (Feb 29 2004 08:42 GMT) - Friedman impresses and is impressed by Bangaloreans. Last week he argued that outsourcing benefits the US economy too, this week he suggests that the globalisation creates hope and confidence that is ultimately good geopolitics too.There is nothing more positive than the self-confidence, dignity and optimism that comes from a society knowing it is producing wealth by tapping its own brains — men's and women's — as opposed to one just tapping its own oil, let alone one that is so lost it can find dignity only through suicide and "martyrdom. |
