It's the hottest Ramadan for more than 30 years and your chance to either whine or commend the fasting holy month; instead of complaining about the traffic noise - turn your car parts into musical instruments; or turn your frustration into anger for a good cause - fighting off criminals; or just soak up the beauty of your location and take some time for contemplation.

Listen to how awesome the kit sounds (and looks) in the video after the jump. [VIDEO EMBEDDED]

The perfect way to describe our country, our culture, and our history is by using the word “pacifists”. Think about it. Yeah, sure, in the past five years, we’re slowly redefining our culture by being subjected to violence by the means of violent “national” music and a very wrong definition of what patriotism really means. But that’s just recent. Historically, we’re a very peace-loving people. We love our comfort zone of peace and security, and Jordan is a quiet, peaceful nation.
