One piece of gossip abut people worshipping Satan and drinking blood became enough reason for the police to break up a Halloween party; Lebanese Politics: The Board Game; will female Muttawa in Saudi work? and MB leader gets preferential treatment at the Hajj.

Halloween and Satan in Amman

I seriously don’t know where to start. I’m furious, disappointed. Emotionally stressed and I’m losing hope in this society I’m living in. I should be more positive about this and I am fighting myself everyday not to look only at the horrible things i see. But there’s is something holding me back from doing so, that bad is more then the good. This is exactly the case here.
