Publishers' Note: Easter is almost here!... Preparations for celebrations and decorations have been underway for quite a while now.... The Easter Bunny, the presents and the commercialization of what is one of the most sacred occasions of our Christian faith are all here... This is all good... as long as it is "sincerely" accompanied by what truly matters in life... and that is to remember and live by the death and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!... Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins... When you ask the Lord to "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us", you ought to mean every word of it. Otherwise don't call yourself a Christian... Being a Christian means loving and including others regardless of their faiths... not isolating Christians in questionable networks... Being a Christian even means loving your enemy and praying for them... This Easter, we should, as Christians, call for harmony, education and co-existence amongst all religions and nationalities remembering that we all share the same biology... regardless of ideology...

always plans,

This is an excellent Act that was rightfully introduced in America's hour of need... However, like many "Government" run programs, the Patriot Act was subject to two evils: Bureaucracy and Abuse. In a country like ours where illegal immigrants are flocking in by the millions, the Patriot Act was shamelessly abused to "selectively" enforce our immigration policy by discriminating against, demeaning and demonizing Arabs and Moslems living peacefully in our country. That is shameful!... As for bureaucracy, the Patriot Act failed to give our judges their inherent responsibility to "judge" on a case by case basis... tangling them in a web of "bureaucracy" our judicial system has never known before. Let me explain.
Imad, a gentle, peace loving and "employed" Is this the America we want? Guilty until proven innocent? NO!... In those 4 months, his wife and children had to suffer enormously just to pay the rent and stay in their apartment!... In another case, and after hearing, time and again, that other Arabs and Moslems who lived illegally in the U.S. have been deported after registering as required by the Patriot Act, Badr, another good, peace loving and employed Tunisian Moslem who has a wife and young children was understandably afraid to register as an illegal immigrant. When he had the chance to apply to straighten his immigration status, and because he was Arab and Moslem, he was sent to jail for detention where he still is to this day, 4 months later waiting for his background investigation to be completed and be proven "innocent". While I welcome legal immigration, something America needs and has many benefits to American Society, I do not endorse illegal immigration. However, the reality is that people come to our country out of desperation and need!... Statistics show that we have millions of illegal immigrants. Discriminating, and targeting peaceful Arabs and Moslems by "selectively" enforcing our failing immigration policy is just that... shameful discrimination!...
Our Lebanese friends, Tayseer and Maurice put on a great show at their lounge on Saturday March 2, 2008. Well, they didn't perform (Thank God!)... Elvis did!... From the 50's, 60's and the 70's, Elvis, and his amazing band, brought nostalgic tunes and memories to a lounge filled with Elvis' fans... including wonderful friends from our Arab Community in NJ and NY, like none other than, Tayseer, Maurice, Fayez, Nabil, Abdo and many more...
Elvis, now 71, was
accompanied by a look-alike with the hair and everything... We all know how
women flocked to Elvis at his concerts wanting to kiss him!...
This Elvis was also accompanied by a "Little Elvis" sidekick who was about 10 years old... whose main function was to place a colored silk-like scarf around Elvis' neck... and then go around dragging ladies to the stage where Elvis would take the scarf off his neck, place on their necks and give them a friendly kiss on the cheek... I was so out of it, I guess, that I somewhat thought that Little Elvis actually went back to take the scarf from one lady so that Elvis can give it to the next lady... until I realized that the scarves given away were of different colors... During the Elvis Show, a Cuban girl came and sat next to me. She told me her name was Goliath or something -- I cannot figure out the spelling... She actually was a slender pretty girl with reddish blond hair... It was close to 11:30 pm then and I had to split to go to the Rabih Al Asmar Hafleh. So, I apologized and went on my way from on fun Sahra with Elvis to another with Rabih Al Asmar, Tony Mercho and Suzan. The great news at Manny's is that our friend Maurice will soon be bringing "Mediterranean Night Arabic Entertainment". Stay tuned for the announcement, and make sure you visit Maurice and enjoy the upcoming Arabic Entertainment!...
