I Cant Think Straight Movie Review: Aggressive movie presenting Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl and Muslim Indian as Lesbians! Sick Gay producers

Aggressive movie presenting Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl and Muslim Indian as Lesbians! Sick Gay producers messing up with forbidden matters!

One sick movie called "I can't think straight" has been produced and released to cinema centers on 21st of Nov 2008. the aggressive film is centered on some nervy and sensitive aspects, messing up and presenting the Exact Opposite of Jordanians, Palestinians, Christianity and Islam in one damn movie!

I have no idea where did the film spark come from, how come you choose a Christian Jordanian Palestinian Girl against a Muslim Indian Girl?! where such issue is forbidden in both religions and both don't even allow straight sexual relationships out of Marriage!! how come you choose the country that cares the most about reputation and honor, Jordan, where girls honor is a red line, and priority number one to be kept clean for all families! where messing up with such issues may even get you killed! How come you choose to go through one of the most serious Political Issues Palestine-Israel and Jordanians of Palestinians origins in one of the cheapest topics ever: gays-lesbians damn population!

Well, if you want to make a contrast and cultural intersections to make some trashy movie survive and make millions of dollars revenue, then these are the wrong cultures and religions to be intersected! you should have chosen some other European, Asian or American cities where the damn Gay Population is more counted, where percentage is higher! and you shouldn't have made any connection to Christianity nor Islam, as such sick people (gays and lesbians) are not following either religion, they do their unethical activities based on some silly sick secularist atheist basis, which is against nature!

Where the Hell is the world going? do we move forward or backward? Day by day, Media is emphasizing more and more on such sick topics, spreading it all over, trying to make such forbidden aspects acceptable by letting people discuss it freely, leading some low faithless people to go in that wrong way of the stupid gay population!!

P.S: we are not discussing the movie's scenario, lighting, acting, action, or script.. we are discussing the characters background set for the movie and its cultural dimensions! even if this is based on some real story, and we know we have some minor percentage of gays here, but that doesn't mean that the Jordanian culture is the right culture to be filmed in such cases! such films should use cultures were the percentage is high and recognizable!

Movie Synopsis [as written by producers]
[[
Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin, prepares for an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters a timid Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend Ali.
Tala comes from a spirited Christian family; whereas Leyla’s strong Muslim upbringing could not be more different from each other but the attraction is immediate between both girls. Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon both women reveal their feelings for each other.
However, Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made and escapes back to Jordan where her chain-smoking, high-brow mother finishes preparations for her ostentatious wedding. As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering family tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself and she breaks off the wedding.
Meanwhile a heartbroken Leyla relishes her newly found sense of identity and self-respect and moves on with her new life – much to the shock of her parents.
Single again, Tala flies back to London – but it will take more than just a date set up by Ali and Leyla’s sister Zina to win Leyla back.

The Film - I Can’t Think Straight … a sexy romance with a twist:
“I Can’t Think Straight” is novelist and screenwriter, Shamim Sarif’s debut film as a director, a romantic comedy where both lead protagonists are women and the cultural backdrop forms an intelligent base for their journey towards self-awareness and each other.
“The film has been described as a Working Title-style romantic comedy with a twist,” explains producer Hanan Kattan.
Kattan continues, “I think the London summertime setting, and the overcoming of obstacles to the love story make “I Can’t Think Straight” a feel-good movie in the traditional style. But the girl meets girl storyline and the cultural references lend it an edgy, contemporary intelligence too.”
The international cast headed by Canadian actress Lisa Ray (Deepa Mehta’s Water – which garnered a Best Foreign Picture Academy Award® nomination in 2007). Her performance in Water also earned her the Best Actress Award from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle.
Other cast includes Sheetal Sheth (Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World), comedic actress Nina Wadia (Bend it Like Beckham, Eastenders, Goodness Gracious Me) and Antonia Frering and Rez Kempton (The Mystic Masseur).

It is really difficult to write about such a thing, finding the right words is so hard, but I will be trying to express some of what I have inside.
It was November 9th 2005, the Black Wednesday, when the shocking crime occurred rocking the whole world exploding one of the glamorous nights of the safest capitals in world, Amman, when bunch of so called "humans" exploded themselves inside 3 Hotels: Radisson SAS, Grand Hyatt, and Days Inn, killing innocent people, part of them was celebrating the event of the creation of a new Jordanian Family at their wedding party!

Terrorists who performed this crime may have killed some of us, shocked us, forced us to get sad, and frightened some people for moments. but after couple of days Jordanians got healed and filled with more energy to face the whole world, as no one will be able to kill us inside, our hearts, our unity, nor our deep love for Jordan! it was a crime that filled us all with even more love, sacrifice, enthusiasm, power and energy, all united for our beloved country Jordan!

Jordan is a great and safe country that will never go down, we are always up, up on top! we face all challenges as we are NOT Forced to love our country, but we love it Freely and deep inside, we are Jordanians enough to beat all problems and issues we face!

Amman Jordan Bombings Amman Jordan Bombings Amman Jordan Bombings


History of Amman Jordan Bombings:

[wikipedia]: The 2005 Amman bombings were a series of coordinated bomb attacks on three hotels in Amman, Jordan, on November 9, 2005. Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the attacks, which killed 60 people and injured 115 others. The explosions—at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the Radisson SAS Hotel, and the Days Inn—started at around 20:50 local time (18:50 UTC) at the Grand Hyatt. The three hotels are often frequented by foreign diplomats. The bomb at the Radisson SAS exploded in the Philadelphia Ballroom, where a wedding hosting hundreds of guests was taking place.

Radisson SAS

At the Radisson SAS Hotel, two suicide bombers (a husband and wife team—Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari and Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi)—entered the Philadelphia Ballroom, where Ashraf Akhras and his bride, Nadia Al-Alami, were celebrating their wedding with around 900 Jordanian and Palestinian guests. Sajida al-Rishawi was unable to detonate her belt. Her husband Ali al-Shamari, apparently admonished her and told her to get out of the room. As she was leaving, the lights went out in the ballroom, Ali jumped onto a dining-room table and detonated himself. Amongst the 38[3] people killed in the explosion were the fathers of the bride and groom. In addition, the explosion destroyed the ballroom, blew out the large windows bordering the street, and knocked down ceiling panels. The hotel lobby was also affected: ceiling panels and light fixtures collapsed, furniture was destroyed, and the hotel's glass doors were shattered. Cleanup and rebuilding commenced shortly afterwards.

Grand Hyatt
The second blast happened about 500 yards (500 m) from the Radisson SAS. It destroyed the hotel's entrance and brought down pillars and ceiling tiles, along with badly damaging the reception and bar areas. After the bomber ordered orange juice in the hotel's coffee shop, he went to another room (possibly to get his explosive belt) and then came back and detonated. Seven hotel employees were killed in this blast, as were Syrian-American movie producer Moustapha Akkad and his daughter, Rima.[4] Akkad, who is best known for producing the Halloween series of slasher films, was also the producer of Mohammad, Messenger of God. At the time of his death, he was in the early stages of producing a film about Saladin, the Kurdish Muslim leader who expelled the Crusaders from Palestine. Hyatt began cleanup shortly after the attacks and reopened their hotel on November 19.

Days Inn

At the Days Inn the bomber entered the restaurant on the hotel's ground floor. He tried to detonate his explosive belt but had trouble; a waiter noticed this and called security. The bomber ran outside of the hotel and successfully detonated himself, killing three members of a Chinese military delegation. Property damage at the Days Inn is expected to amount to around $200,000, according to Khaled Abu Ghoush, general manager of the property. He said lost revenue due to the disrupted business is expected to total around $50,000 and be covered by insurance.

Casualties
According to one Jordanian official, Maj. Bashir al-Da'aja, early in the investigation, local authorities confirmed a series of coordinated suicide attacks as the cause of the blasts. Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Marwan al-Muasher initially announced that at least 67 people have died and 300 people have been injured. However, the Jordanian government subsequently revised the number of casualties down to at least 59 dead and 115 injured. The adjustment in figures was not explained.
Among the dead were thirty-six Jordanians, mostly Jordanian Christians. The rest were six Iraqis, five Palestinians, four Americans, two Arab-Israelis,[6] two Bahrainis, three Chinese delegates of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), one Saudi, and one Indonesian citizen. The Palestinian fatalities included Major-General Bashir Nafeh, the head of military intelligence in the West Bank, Colonel Abed Allun, a high-ranking Preventive Security forces official, Jihad Fatouh, the commercial attache at the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo, and Mosab Khorma, a senior Palestinian-American banker and former Paltel CEO. Both of the Israeli fatalities were Arabs. One was Husam Fathi Mahajna, a businessman from Umm al-Fahm, the other was an unidentified resident of East Jerusalem. Syrian-American film producer Moustapha Akkad, who was in the Grand Hyatt lobby, was severely wounded and died in hospital on November 11. His 34-year-old daughter Rima was also killed in the blast.
There were rumors that several Israeli citizens were evacuated prior to the blast, although two Arab-Israelis were fatally injured in the explosions. Such rumors are not uncommon in such situations, as Israeli conspiracy theories are very prevalent in Arab countries.

Suspects
Jordanian police initially stated that there were at least four attackers (the fourth, a female, was later captured), including a couple, who spoke Iraqi-accented Arabic. A number of Iraqis were among the more than 100 suspects who were arrested in the following days. Police claimed to have found maps that were used in planning the attack. On November 12, Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher [9] said that the attacks were carried out by Jordanian-born Zarqawi's group. According to Jordanian officials, the attackers were Iraqi and had entered the country three days before the attacks, and there were only three attackers.
On November 13, King Abdullah announced the arrest of a woman believed to be a fourth would-be suicide bomber, whose explosive belt failed to detonate. The three dead suicide bombers have been identified , and their names were announced by Deputy Prime Minister Muasher. They were Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari (SAS Radisson), Rawad Jassem Mohammed Abed (Grand Hyatt), and Safaa Mohammed Ali (Days Inn). The woman in custody has been identified as Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi. She was married to al-Shamari and intended to blow herself up at the Radisson. Muasher also said that she was the sister of a close aide of al-Zarqawi.

Source of the attacks
An Internet statement released the day after, purportedly from Al-Qaeda in Iraq, claimed that they had carried out the attacks. The statement also revealed the names of the bombers: Abu Khabib, Abu Muaz, Abu Omaira and Om Omaira, all Iraqis. Members of the Jordanian government had already begun blaming the attacks on the Islamic terrorist group, which counts the Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, among its leaders. "The attacks carry the trademark of al Qaeda", one police official said. Two U.S. intelligence officials agreed, describing the style of the attacks as bearing the trademark of al-Zarqawi, who has, in the past, discussed the possibility of launching attacks outside of Iraq. Of late, there have been concerns that terrorist attacks may occur in Jordan, due in part to its close proximity to Iraq, but also due to its government's cooperation in the United States' War on Terrorism.
Notably, the Radisson hotel was previously an al Qaeda target during the 2000 millennium attack plots. Jordanian police foiled the original attempt after arresting Khadr Abu Hoshar, a Palestinian militant, along with 15 others on December 12, 1999. All three of the hotels are frequented by American, Israeli, and European military contractors, journalists, business people, and diplomats, and the city itself has long been described as a "gate way" for westerners into Baghdad and Iraq at large, leading many to entertain the possibility of a connection between the Amman bombings and the war in Iraq.
In American shorthand date notation, the month number is followed by the day number, i.e. 9/11 corresponds to September 11. However, elsewhere in the world, the month number follows the day number, thus, November 9 would be notated in most nations, including Jordan, as 9/11. It has been speculated that this may constitute a parallel between the two dates (and thus to the September 11, 2001 attacks).

تفجيرات عمان

الأربعاء الأسود هو الأربعاء الموافق 9 نوفمبر 2005 حيث وقعت ثلاث عمليات تفجير أستهدفت ثلاث فنادق تقع في وسط العاصمة الأردنية عمان. حيث وقع أولها في تمام الساعة التاسعة و النصف في التوقيت المحلي لمدينة عمان في مدخل فندق الراديسون ساس،ثم ضرب الثاني فندق حياة عمان ثم بعدها بدقائق تم إستهداف فندق دايز إن. وصل التقدير المبدئي للقتلى إلى ما يوازي 57 قتيل و ما ينوف على 115 جريح. كان السبب الرئيسي لإرتفاع عدد القتلى هو حدوث تفجير فندق الراديسون أثناء حفلة زفاف. تبنى تنظيم القاعدة مسؤولية التفجرات.

المنفذون
في إعلان على شبكة الإنترنت نشر في اليوم التالي للتفجيرات منسوب لتنظيم القاعدة في بلاد الرافدين(العراق)، تحمل مسؤولية الهجمات. كما نشر الإعلان أسماء المنفذين:أبو خبيب وأبو معاذ وأبو عميرة وأم عميرة، وكلهم عراقيون. وكان أفراد من الحكومة الأردنية بدأوا في توجيه أصابع الإتهام للجماعات الإسلامية المسلحة والذي يعد أبو مصعب الزرقاوي الأردني الجنسية أحد أبرز أعلامها وذلك قبل نشر القاعدة لإعلانها. وقال ديفيد كلاريدج من مجموعة جانوسيان لادارة المخاطر الامنية ومقرها لندن ولها مكتب في الأردن "يثور شك قوي في علاقة ذلك بالعراق ، من المحتمل جدا أن يكون الزرقاوي." واضاف كلاريدج ان الأردن اعلن في الايام القليلة الماضية عزمه إرسال سفير إلى العراق. وتستهدف القاعدة الدبلوماسيين الاجانب في العراق وتسعى لمنع الدول العربية من إرسال مبعوثين.

الضحايا
تم الإعلان في البدء عن وفاة 67 شخصا وإصابة ما يزيد عن 300 شخص، وتم تعديل الأرقام لاحقا لتصبح 57 قتيلا و115 جريح، ولم يتم توضيح سبب التعديلات. وضرب أكبر هذه التفجيرات حفل زفاف في فندق الراديسون ساس فيه حوالي 300 مدعو. وبالرغم من نجاة كل من العرسان، إلا أن كلا الأبوين بالاضافة إلى والدة العروس لاحقا و 11 قريبا قتلوا. كما توفي المخرج السوري مصطفى العقاد الذي كان في مدخل فندق حياة عمان بعد إصابته في التفجيرات بيومين، كما قتلت إبنته ريما أثناء التفجيرات أيضا.
كما كان بين الضحايا 33 أردنيا، 6 عراقيين، 5 فلسطينيين، ثلاثة أمريكيين، وإثنان من فلسطينيي الداخل (عرب إسرائيل)، وبحرانيان، وثلاثة صينيين مندوبون عن جيش التحرير الصيني، وسعودي واحد ومواطن إندونيسي واحد. وكان من بين الضحايا الفلسطينيين العقيد بشير نافع، رئيس الإستخبارات العسكرية في الضفة الغربية، والجنرال عبد علون، وجهاد فتوح أخ الرئيس الفلسطيني المؤقت سابقا روحي فتوح والملحق الإقتصادي في السفارة الفلسطينية في القاهرة، ومصعب خورما، الرئيس التنفيذي السابق لشركة الإتصالات الفلسطينية ،كما كان أحد فلسطينيي الداخل هو حسام فتحي محاجنة، رجل أعمال من مدينة أم الفحم, ومن العراقين علي الشمري ومحسن الفضل وفرات عبدالصاحب وهم من موظفي وزارة النفط العراقية.

Barack Obama the "Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel" man - what changes can you make as the New US President?

Barack Obama has done it to the white house, despite all challenges he faced, he won the battle of the US Elections with a clear big victory collecting 364 Electoral Votes (64,688,689 Popular Votes) against John McCain who had 162 Electoral Votes (56,950,451 Popular Votes) of the Total 538 Electoral Votes.

Now, with all the promises he made to make a real positive change in the United States and in the Whole World, and with all the power he has now as a US president impacting the policy of the whole world, I really hope that he would be able to make some positive changes, fixing all mistakes done previously, or at least not making new ones!

In that aspect, I recall his debatable speech that caused a real controversy, about the Middle East issues, especially the Israel-Palestine big issue, when he had couple of sharp words said then rolled back in some interview at the ABC News as written and seen below:

Obama: "Let me be CLEAR, Israel security is sacrosanct, it is non negotiable! ... and Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it MUST remain UNDIVIDED!

Interviewer: for Palestinians, this is unacceptable! when you said that, didn't you realize the significants that has for many people in this region?

Obama: "the fact is that Jerusalem is Israel's Capital, and I was simply saying facts!"

Interviewer: you said it must REMAIN Undivided!

Obama: "I have said after the speech that word was POORLY chosen .... !"

Interviewer: you started the speech with LET ME BE CLEAR!

Obama: "... the wording was poor and should have been corrected ... !!!"

Interviewer: was it a mistake?

Obama: "... I would not say it was a mistake... !"



Obama: "I continue to say that Jerusalem will be the capital of Israel, I have said that before and I will say it again! and I also have said that it is important that we don't simply slice the city in half, but I've also said thats a final status issue, thats an issue that has to be dealt with the parties involved the Palestinians and the Israelis and it's not the job of the United States to dictate the form in which that will take but rather to support the efforts that will be made to resolve this right difficult issue with its long history!"

Fake Facebook Profiles - Why and How to detect them?

fake facebook profiles Fake Facebook Profiles are one of the most annoying and even dangerous issues that facebookers (facebook users) face, and one of the most challenging problems for the facebook admins, so efforts to eliminate such profiles are set to the max!

According to breaking weird news, Facebook Fake Profiles were dangerous enough to get some guy from Morocco arrested for making a fake facebook profile for Prince Moulay Rachid, the younger brother of King Mohammed VI.
Expensive enough to get another one sued by £17,000 for damages against a former schoolfriend accused of putting a fake gay profile of some businessman on the social networking website Facebook.
And serious enough for the Dean of one of the biggest colleges at Cambridge to set up a fake Facebook profile to keep an eye on his students after they have formed a protest group to complain about a change in drinking laws.

Why would people create fake facebook profiles?

  1. Shallow relationships: "lovers" testing and teasing each others, teasing by fake comments of fake profiles, testing each other by fake flirts or  msgs!
  2. Monitoring: monitering people (students, employees ... ) lives by fake personalities!
  3. Business: forcing some business to grow by making it popular through many profiles!
  4. Revenge: broken people creating humiliating fake profiles for those who hurt them!
  5. Psychos: males creating profiles for females and vice versa.
  6. Some people are just sick: stupid pointless people like to fool around!

So here are some tips to guide you detect fake facebook profiles:

How to know a facebook profile is fake?

  1. If you are not a good looking guy and got added by a hot chick!
  2. If you got added by a celebrity!
  3. If you see nothing but Adds Feeds (... is now friends with ...) in the "feeds" section!
  4. If the "wall" is full of msgs like: "thanks for the add"! 
  5. If it has one profile picture only!
  6. If it has many pictures but none is tagging any other profiles!
  7. If it's not tagged by others!
  8. If it's public, no privacy settings for anything!
  9. If birthday is 01/01 (no offense real ones LOL but because it's the fastest choice)!
  10. If it has many friends from all over the world (no specific region)!
  11. If it joins and attends all groups and events sent by all!
  12. If the "Interested In" section is all checked: (Women and Men)
  13. If the "Looking For" section is all checked (friendship, dating, a relationship, networking, and whatever I can get)!
