Do we really understand Arabic?

Quraan has come to the Arabs, and the language of the Arabs is Arabic, but do we understand the whole meanings of Arabic words?

I realized that the miss understanding of the Quraan, the Islam & other Arabic terms led to violation and terrorism, women were been miss treated and not given a chance to be educated as a result of our ignorance.

A freaky dream

Getting up in a morning trying to analyze my dreams that I realized it becoming weirder by the time passes by, getting signs that freaked me out yesterday. A lady whom I know told me that she is pregnant, I congratulated her, then she told me a sad news that made me think about the dream I had in the previous night, she told me that she is worried that her child will be physically defected because she has been exposed to an x-ray 2 months a go when she did a fitness checkup related to work, she told the private polyclinic to do for the a pregnancy test before starting and they said they don’t do it at all, after 2 months she went to another private polyclinic and they said it’s a must to do that test, she is now three months pregnant and she is extremely worried, based on the current scan they said that everything is fine, at her 5th month the signs will show if the unborn child is defected or not.

Now whom to blame if the child is born defected because of such an error of that private polyclinic?

I believe my dream was a warning for me to take it easy on her and to support her.

Webmasters' release sought
By ROBERT SMITH


PROTESTS are mounting over the arrest of three Bahraini webmasters over comments that appeared on the Internet.

Friends and relatives of Ali Abdulemam, Hussain Yousif and Mohammed Al Mousawi gathered outside the Public Prosecution building, in Manama, yesterday to call for their release.

Mr Abdulemam was arrested on Sunday, while the other two were arrested on Monday.

Reporters Sans Frontières, an international organisation dedicated to defending Press freedom, has added its voice to the protests.

"Imprisoning someone for their journalistic work or posting an article on the Internet cannot be acceptable in any circumstances," said the organisation in a letter to Information Minister Mohammad Abdul Ghaffar.

"This incident demonstrates that the 2002 Press Law is in urgent need of reform."

The three were arrested because of comments that appeared on their website Bahrainonline.com, which is critical of the government.

They are now facing charges that include spreading hatred of the regime.

The Egypt-based Arabic Network for Human Rights Information has also condemned the arrests, as did Bahrain's Al Wefaq National Islamic Society.

Human rights activists are now planning a series of demonstrations to call for their release. These include daily vigils outside the Public Prosecution from around 4pm.

Activists also expressed concern that more arrests may follow - either of people working on the same website or different ones.

Meanwhile, the arrests have sparked calls for clearer publishing laws in Bahrain.

Bahrain Internet Society (BIS) chairman Ahmed Al Hujairy said there was nothing in the current legislation to distinguish between print media and the Internet.

He is concerned that there are too many grey areas - especially when Press laws are applied to the web. "The laws we have in Bahrain relate to journalism," he said.

"There is nothing that refers to the Internet. They just refer to the media.

"There is a gap. What they did was call on the existing laws of Bahrain and treated what was written as though it was put down on paper.

"There is a gap that does not distinguish paper from the Internet. Both are published media."
