In Egypt, it's not over til the Sectarian Card is Played

Sectarian conflict between Christian and Muslim might be the meddling of some 'agent' whom it suits to show unrest post revolution; Lebanon's classic tramway- what happened to it? How the BBC presented Lebanon's snail internet service; And when Blackberry Blanked-out; And a philosophy to match all your moods.

What happened to Egypt's solidarity and flags that showed a united Christian-Muslim front not so long ago in the height of revolution euphoria?

WHO IS PLAYING THE SECTARIANISM CARD IN EGYPT?

Amman's Chubby protests the sectarian strife emerging in full force after Mubarak: "Tahrir Square - The moment when Husni Mobarak stepped down." "When i got back home from work yesterday i got online directly as usual, listening to music and doing some reading to catch up what I’ve missed during the hours i wasn’t online. In the fast moving stream of tweets that i stare at all the time a tweet caught my attention: "If you're in Amman:"Tomorrow 8:30pm - 9:30pm here in Amman Christians and Muslims will be lighting candles front of the Coptic Church in the district of Abdali which by the way is front of a famous mosque (King Abdullah Mosque)."

Tramway Beirut - the end of the line

"I often wondered what happened to the Beirut Tramway. There are some historical details on the net, but they vaguely amoung to it being taken off circulation sometime in the 50s. Of course, the name is classicaly linked to late comedian Ibrahim Merachli's song "Tramway Beyrouth" (sample line: "rizkallah 3a iyyamak ya tramway Beirut, chalouk li2annak deghri w btimchi 3ala sikki dighri" - "we long back to the times of tramway Beirut, they took you off because you are straight, and go along a straight path" )."

Roundabout Philosophy

"Here’s the thing about being human: we love bullshitting ourselves. Admit it: how many monologues have you had in an attempt to justify your actions, your fears, your success, your habits, or anything else? And how many times have those monologues changed in direction in the span of a day, or an hour?"

Problems with BlackBerry Services in Arab world and Europe, Millions cut off

'Blackberry's blip: "A number of mobile operators reported over Twitter that BlackBerry service is off in the Arab world and Europe due to problems from RIM." '

Blog Baladi [7]

How the BBC covers the world's slowest internet

"BlogBaladi took part in the report BBC did on the internet in Lebanon as I was interviewed by Howard Johnson on that matter few weeks back. Surprisingly though, they did not include anything I said but simply showed me browsing the net at the start of the report. Di3an kel hal 7ake! (What a waste of all that talking!)"
