Dear Nabil,

I can't believe what you've done to my exposure in marketing my website on the major search engines.

You are my new hero... I really couldn't believe it can be done.

I am now all over the place! 

When I first signed on with you, you told me it can be done.  I didn't know that I can come up as the "listing" on the first page of ALL the major search engines and for the "most competitive key words".

You did it!  I am soooooo grateful.

Regards,

Nadine Hokayem, N.D.

We wish you continued success with your website.

Hi Nabil,
I am surprised you know Indonesian.  I was searching and your group came out. I read everything there and I saw your nice picture, also all the messages there are very encouraging for us to love people of all races and bring peace, something that my teacher (the Buddha) emphasized.

I am glad I can be here with all people in your group to spread love instead of hatred, because only people who can give universal love are those who know the true meaning of Happiness......Thank you for your friendship,

Hi Nabil…..

I am contacting you regarding a private accommodation we have available in Lebanon. I would like to ask if you may know of anyone who might need a private holiday home at reasonable rates. In addition to this, we believe in giving back to the community in Beirut and so when you stay at the penthouse, we donate 5% of each booking to a charity that works with orphaned children in Lebanon. It is a luxury private penthouse that is close to the beach and downtown Beirut. It is a gorgeous 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. All furniture has been hand made and the penthouse is stylishly decorated. Surrounding balconies are perfect for entertaining with an outside TV and BBQ.

We would appreciate it if you would kindly 'spread the word' about this holiday home.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call +1 201 783 8044.

Many thanks

I want to thank you for going out of your way to join us at the Salaam Club annual Holiday Dance. I know you traveled far and had to make arrangements for your daughter. We were happy to have you with us and judging by your smiling face you looked like you were enjoying it.

Earlier, when I mentioned to my wife that I was going to email you, she suggested that I check out your website and, sure enough, you were already writing an article about the event.

An event of this kind requires an awful amount of time, energy and patience and they deserve appreciation for a truly memorable event.

Meantime, my wife and I very much hope to see you again at one of the many holiday events coming up this season.

Once again, thanks.

Dear Nabil,

... I was hopeful that I might receive an endorsement from the Lebanese community website based on the inclusiveness and helpfulness of my Administration to the Lebanese community during my nearly eight years in public service...  Additionally, as you noted, I appointed as one of my top directors a fine gentleman of Lebanese descent, Lloyd Jacobs, who serves as Hamilton's Director of Engineering, Planning & Inspections.

Based on the record I have established, I was hopeful that the Lebanese community in Hamilton, as represented by the Lebanese website, would provide an endorsement to me as they had done for Councilwoman Yaede when she first ran for office.

Thank you.

LCNJ implemented a very powerful strategic election campaign for Mayor Glen Gilmore and, in spite of a major event two days before Election Day which served a severe political blow to Mayor Gilmore, the final votes were very close. 13,126 to 12,527.

Your article about "Abouna Jean" reveals your efforts at seeing the best in people. I have to say that my little acquaintance with you seems to indicate that you bring the best in them too. Your article was informative, yes, but it pulsated with generous energy, even as you critique violence. Can you hear the applause?

As a writer yourself I am sure that you understand the lure of words strung together with passion that fountains from the loins of your life. Then perhaps you can imagine how touched I am that you wish to feature some of my writings on your Web site. Your unsolicited belief in my work is more valuable than the many I do solicit. Shukran!

Hello Nabil.

I feel that the Lebanese abroad are the first and last hope for Lebanon. We need to be the best example on how the "Ta3ayosh", respect, and democracy can extinguish the fire of "Ta2ifiyaih" forever. There is a large number of Lebanese people abroad who are sick and tired of all the politicians. All what these politicians are doing is shuffling chairs on board of the titanic!! I feel sorry for the people there. I am disgusted with ALL the politicians and disappointed with the religious figures for getting sucked into the mud placed in front of them. I hope I am not offending either of you as I value your opinions and contributions.

God bless the helpless people in Lebanon who all they want from life is living it! Lebanon will rise again.

Hi Nabil,

I got a quick glimpse of your June Newsletter and I was on the verge of tears when I viewed the Cedars of Lebanon video, it reminded me of my younger years when I would go and visit my grandmother Galia Succar in Becharri......It brought back such beautiful, happy memories for me.....I cannot thank you enough as many Lebanese do as well, for spreading such a positive, good Christian message to all. God has given you a tool to educate us and to enrich our lives with beautiful, inspiring words and messages. You do not use your forum as a negative, hurtful, bias or angry platform. It is not used against anything or anyone that angers you. That in and of itself is extremely admirable and must be commended greatly. I am a firm believer that what goes around in life comes around and when you spread the word of God and goodness you are therefor doing his work here on earth.......Merci,,,,,,,ektir,,,,and may St. Sharbel always bless you and fill your life with a wealth of good health and happiness.....I wish you a peaceful and restful summer.....


respectfully
Adele Jazrawi:)

Hello from the land of "our Embassador to the stars": "La Diva" Fairouz!

I enjoyed seeing and surfing into your "tiny" Lebanese website which you kindly started sending me a copy of your periodic newsletters a while ago. Thank you.

Our Lebanese traditions that belong to All Lebanese people from all religions make of our beloved country not only a dynamic multicultural country but a unique vivid-portray amidst its Arab-environment-World.

Your website Joyfully promotes our Lebanese roots and Traditions which we should be genuinely and firmly committed to protect from any Hatred /radicalism/violence and by preaching a genuine Peace that would allow its people, all people, to live righlty in their country. Otherwise, Lebanon won't be the Lebanon we knew and Love!

Good luck!

Subject: Re: A Message from Nabil to Bishop Gregory

dear nabil

thank you for your kind email...glad you found the article helpful...i would be glad to assist in ways you deem helpful...i think it is important to speak freely about the message God has for us...

i am not holy, but desire to be...

special hello to your daughter...

+ gregory
 

Important Note: This heartwarming email from his Excellency Bishop Gregory Mansour -- and, for the record, it was I who replaced his e-mail address with His title.  That holy and humble man of the church simply refers to himself as just "gregory"... and you cannot help but have that feeling that he is your genuine friend.  I am not saying His Excellency should be without imperfections or sins!... We all, to various extents, are sinners... and that is the reason we, as Christians, need Jesus Christ as our Savior. He just is, to me at least, the personification of what a priest, "a Messenger of God" should be.

His e-mail was in timely response to an e-mail I sent to him two days before, in which I shared with him my lifelong vision of an open dialog between average Christians like me, on the one hand, and the holy men of the church, on the other hand, in the form of quarterly "Conversations with God" through His Messengers on earth... conversations that would be enjoyable, engaging, fun and a true celebration of life and a revival of our Christian Spirit as they help us all find answers to Life's unanswered questions starting and ending with "What is the meaning of Life and what is the purpose of our Existence"...  I contacted Him after I read one of his many uplifting online articles at http://www.stmaron.org/articles.html.

What struck me in his e-mail, amongst so many other things, was its simplicity, "gregory's" awe-inspiring humility, and his eagerness to be helpful.   Through no fault of his, my eyes were clouded just seeing his signature line... "gregory"... I repeat for the nth time... if you have not had the exceptional experience of meeting this humble holy man in person and listening to one of his enchanting sermons, you can do so, no matter what your religion or sect is at Our lady of Lebanon Cathedral at 109 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.

4/17/2007 - Comment: "Nabil, You are just the perfect Lebanese man.  I wish all Lebanese men do what you do.  I love you so much and your site is the best.  Will you marry me?  I really mean that. Please call me at (+61 3) xxxx-xxxx" - Layla Hayek, Melbourne, Australia

• As flattered as I was by such a delightful proposal which turned out to be truly a sincere marriage proposal across the looooooooooooong miles!...  Layla is a beautiful 19 year old Lebanese woman who has a brilliant mind and a good heart..  She lives all the way in Australia and still going to college... So, if there are younger Lebanese men in Australia who are exactly like me and who want to meet this delightful young Lebanese woman, please let me know so I can let Layla know... Too bad that my young friend Dr. Reda Issa is only 18... Nabil

Always remember the Lebanese people and Lebanon needs us very much and in order to do the right thing we must work hard in building a very strong organization, I don't thing the WLCU will ever find any body more qualified than you for that position.
Remember again Lebanon needs us and WLCU needs you.

I will circulate the site among all the people i know, and most importantly, i noticed now, i will promote it among the Lebanese who has business.

Good luck !

N.B. Hope that the next step will be toward displaying the intellectual and scientific activities and at a later step toward educational political productive communication among Lebanese to create more acceptance and tolerance of each other and be a bridge to the Lebanese in Lebanon.

Hello, Nabil.  I appreciate your help in connecting with Lebanese-Americans in northern New Jersey.
 
I'm a reporter for the Herald News, and I am trying to reach people who still have a strong connection to Lebanon - people who visit often, people who send packages to family still in Lebanon, people who still have active friendships or close ties to family there - to talk about their experiences and thoughts on the escalating violence between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.  My telephone number is (973) 569-7164, and my cell phone is (973) 868-0819. I will be on the streets of Paterson and Clifton today trying to reach out to people that way as well, so my cell phone may be the best way to reach me.  I would prefer to speak with people who are willing to give their names from Passaic, Bergen or Essex Counties.
