AlJasem’s strongest article…

Alot was discussed on this blog about Mohammed AlJasem’s articles and his motives for writing them.
I left it for a while because I thought I linked to him more than enough times, and didn’t think I would be doing it again!

I’m going to hell…

When I read this on Friday, I couldn’t stop thinking about how stupid this issue is.

When I first read about the bluetooth clip of a girl dancing in the uniform, I thought to myself, “hehe, silly!”

I have always been a big fan of strategy and role playing games like Civilization and Civilization [...]
