Heavy rains in Asir forces roads to be closed - Arab News

The last time the weather was like this in the Assir region of Saudi Arabia was in 1981-82, when 40 bridges between the highland city of Abha and the coastal city of Jazan were washed away by rampaging flash floods. We have to abandon our hospital when it virtually buckled under heavy rains for two years in a row, forcing the government to move the hospital to a hotel it had to rent. It took the government 15 years to build a new hospital. Is there a 30-year weather cycle in this region of Saudi Arabia?

There is a possibility of unstable weather in most parts of the Kingdom today, the Presidency of Meteorology and Environment said in a forecast yesterday. A man reportedly died in Asir while a number of roads have been closed as a result of heavy rains.

The PME and the Civil Defense Department have urged citizens and residents to be cautious about flashfloods caused by rains.

Hussein Al-Qahtani, spokesman of PME, said the unstable weather would continue until tomorrow (Thursday) and would cover Tabuk in the north right through to Jazan in the south as well as Makkah and Madinah and their coastal areas.

He also cautioned the public about the possibility of heavy rains accompanied by fresh winds and low visibility in most of these regions. The height of waves in the Red Sea and Gulf is likely to reach 1.5 meters.

UFO Accidentally Filmed over Iranian Mosque (Video)

April 10, 2012

A Japanese tourist accidentally caught a UFO on video as it flew over an ancient mosque in Iran. What is it?

The tourist claims the unidentified flying object was not noticed until after the footage of a tour of the Sheikh Lotfollah mosque was reviewed later. Just a short clip of the original video was posted to YouTube, followed by an enhanced enlargement.

The object flying overhead is a disc-shaped craft, silver in color, with no wings and no navigational lights or identifying markings.

US flexes muscles as it sends aircraft carriers to Persian Gulf

USA, Israel’s top dog of war, is doing what it says it would if Israel held its guns. Obama promised Netanyahu that he would do the firing if Netanyahu held his guns. Like the Gulf War of 1991, where Israel held its guns not firing back although Saddam’s scuds were falling over Tel Aviv, Israel again will sit and watch as her dogs do the battle. If and when Iran attacks Israel, the UN and the rest of the world will be obliged to come to the aid of Israel being a victim of Iran’s aggression. L

Towards Iran nearly a million men will march, 

The true serpent will also invade Turkey and Egypt.

US flexes muscles as it sends aircraft carriers to Persian Gulf - Telegraph:

US flexes muscles as it sends aircraft carriers to Persian Gulf

The United States sent Iran a message of intent yesterday by despatching two aircraft carriers to the Gulf region just days before the resumption of negotiations over Tehran's nuclear programme.

By Adrian Blomfield, Middle East Correspondent

7:33PM BST 09 Apr 2012

The US navy announced the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln in the north Arabian Sea and the USS Enterprise, the world's longest naval vessel, in the Gulf of Aden.

A senior official in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government threatened in January unspecified action if American aircraft carriers returned to the Persian Gulf, saying: "We are not in the habit of warning more than once".

Although neither ship has entered the Gulf itself, the deployment will be seen as an unmistakable challenge in Tehran ahead of the beginning of negotiations on Saturday, which President Barack Obama has described as Iran's "last chance" to resolve the nuclear impasse through diplomacy.

The ‘Ranao Waves’ (1980): Sarimanok in Flight

SARIMANOK IN FLIGHT

                The Sarimanok has become the symbol of the Maranao people. Very recently, it gained international popularity when it was made the symbol of the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant. When literally translated, it simply means an artificial cock. Muslim scholars cannot even agree on the real symbolism of the Sarimanok. Some believe it to be a symbol of power, prestige, and wealth, so that people of lower socioeconomic status are not expected to use it. Others think it was used in rituals during ancient times. Whatever they believe it to be, others and I have a different interpretation. Sarimanok is a work of art, and, like other arts (such as literature, fine arts, music, and poetry), it reflects not only the ingenuity of the people who created it but also their mental outlook and, to some extent, the prevailing conditions at the time. Viewing it from this angle, we see the Sarimanok as contentment, an idle nature detached from reality, and resignation. Could this be the same with the people it represents? If yes, then it could be the symbol of the Maranao people. The RANAO COUNCIL, therefore, since it dedicates itself to the well-being of the Maranao people, has to make Sarimanok its symbol, but a unique one. Not the colorful, resigned and idle cock but an active and aggressive one. Alone, it symbolizes the ideals of the Ranao Council: to transform a fatalistic, resigned, and contented people into an active and progressive one. For simplicity, the Sarimanok is bereft of its motif design (okir), but it is still gracefully designed.

                The Americans, Israelis, and Germans are proud of their Eagle, and they have good reasons to be. Eagles are fierce birds that feed on smaller animals and weaker birds. Could it also be the reason why these groups of people gained a reputation as the bloodiest and most aggressive conquerors of our age? The Sarimanok is different. On air, it is very graceful and never fierce, but cornered in an enclosed cockfight arena, it fights to the death.

                The Sarimanok is a mythical fowl and may appear in different hues. Its color, therefore, does not affect its essential being. Blue suits our Sarimanok best, as it symbolizes peace, which is the primary goal of the Ranao Council. It will also make our Sarimanok appear like a love ‘blue’ bird, which has often been made a symbol for lovers.

It is a bearer of love and peace.

                The other symbols in the organization’s seal have been explained in the other insignias of the RANAO COUNCIL. They carry the same symbolism…

TIME TRAVEL and ISLAM: Muslim's pathetic inferiority complex - YouTube

Muslim scholars are only good at confirming significant scientific discoveries, pointing out where it appears in the Qur’an, but they neither have the courage nor the initiative to jumpstart science. They will again wait until science discovers Time Travel and say, "Yeah, that too is written in the Qur’an." 

Qur’an 18:9-26 A group of youths and their dog were TIME TRANSPORTED by God 309 lunar years into the future. It is one of the most elaborate stories ever told in the Qur’an.

Qur’an 2:259 God TIME TRANSPORTED a doubting traveler 100 years into the future with his food, water, and donkey.

The baffling minds of a ‘7 years old…’

I was scanning old pictures when my 7-year-old daughter paused behind me, peeked at the monitor with her chin at my right shoulder, and asked, “Ano’yan daddy; dagat?” (What is that, Daddy? The sea?) and there is not a drop of seawater in the picture.

I was shocked; it baffles me to this day…

The Assir region is Saudi Arabia’s highest peak, and wherever you drive, you can’t help but be awed by the beauty of this corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is more than 3,000 feet above sea level with a weather system that is almost heavenly if you consider the searing heat of the desert. It is not hard to tell if you travel through the breathtaking panorama of mountains and valleys that these valleys and rocks were once at the bottom of the sea.

The shoreline markings (Google map photo) that divide the underwater rocks and the mountain peaks that were above water are unmistakable, but how a ‘7-year-old’ tells from a 30-year-old photo is mindboggling. My other children grew up in this region, and although we frequently travelled through these mountains, none of them ever mentioned being in what used to be a sea, and here comes one who has never been there, peeked at a worn-out photo, and said, “What is that, daddy, the sea?”

AFTER YEARS OF TORTURE; 9/11 suspects will be tried…

Sigh! Finally, after years of torture, the directors and executive producers of 9/11 are now sure that the actors and supporting characters are ready to deliver their lines. With the controlled environment of the “AMERICAN GULAG” at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, nothing is expected to go wrong. If it does, the directors can always shout cut and reshoot later. This is another glaring example of how a US president is nothing more than a puppet; a ‘yes man’ to the people who put him in the White House; the same supermen that perpetually run the Evil Empire.

Obama was elected into office by the good people of the U.S. of A., seeking justice for the victims of 9/11. First, Obama promised to close the ‘American Gulag’ at Guantanamo within 6 months of office, and second, he vowed to try the 9/11 suspects in civilian courts in the USA. Still, he was blocked from executing by the directors and producers of 9/11.

After more than 10 years and with so much evidence gathered to disprove the government’s version of events, trials by jury will almost certainly find them innocent, but there is a greater catch: who are the real culprits? It is a question that the government cannot afford to answer, not by any chance. A kangaroo court is the easiest way out…

US to try five 9/11 suspects at Guantanamo - Yahoo! News UK:

US to try five 9/11 suspects at Guantanamo

Aljazeera – 23 hours ago

The US has announced charges against Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on its territory, along with four other alleged plotters, vowing to seek the death penalty in the military trial.

The five suspects will face charges of terrorism, hijacking aircraft, conspiracy, murder in violation of the law of war and other counts.

"The charges allege that the five accused are responsible for the planning and execution of the attacks of September 11, 2001, in New York and Washington DC, and Shanksville, Pa, resulting in the killing of 2,976 people," the defence 
department said in a statement.

"The convening authority referred the case to a capital military commission, meaning that, if convicted, the five accused could be sentenced to death."
