Sight and Insight: Why they go together and why we should careProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 22, 2017
In both English and my native Arabic, the words "sight" and "insight" are rooted in the verb "to see." While both words are frequently heard and used, we understand less about the latter one. Yet taken together, both are vital not only to our survival as a species, but also to the enhancement of our individual lives.
Simulating an Iranian attack on Israel - Why?Alan Hart
July 19, 2012
According to reports in Israeli newspapers, the U.S. and Israel are going to hold their largest ever joint military exercise in October, shortly before American voters decide whether to give Obama a second term in the White House or replace him with Mitt Romney. The exercise, involving thousands of soldiers and the most advanced anti-missile defense systems, will simulate simultaneous attacks from Iran and Syria.
Sinai for New EgyptProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
December 19, 2011
Egypt's Sinai peninsula has the potential to be a show case in human and resource development for the New Egypt; the post January 25 Revolution's Egypt.
Slavery in QatarThe Canadian Charger
October 22, 2013
Qatari-owned Al-Jazeera with its deep pockets is the envy of many journalists. It claims to "tell it like it is." Just one little problem: Qatar. Qatar's new emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, runs the show in his country. His father handed power over to him in June (some says it was a palace-coup led by Tamim's mother) and his father gave Al-Jazeera pretty much a free hand to cover events, but only outside of Qatar.
Sleep and its difficultiesReuel S. Amdur
March 6, 2014
It is not completely clear as to why we need sleep, but its necessity is. It is something we share with pretty well all of the other members of the animal kingdom. Sleep appears to give the body and brain the opportunity to repair, lessen stress and anxiety, and aid in memory and learning.
Sleep is the best cognitive enhancerThe Canadian Charger
June 19, 2013
Up until recently, stimulants have been the main pharmaceutical fix for sleeping, but these drugs have a temporary effect, followed by exhaustion.
Smoke, mirrors and a Harper majorityLawrence Martin
March 31, 2011
Stephen Harper never used to talk about a majority. Now he's practically begging for one. Can he win it?
Sneaky Steve, a danger to democracyThe Canadian Charger
January 13, 2010
Prime Minster Stephen Harper in power is a danger to democracy. The Americans had "Tricky Dick" Nixon and Canada has "Sneaky Steve" Harper.
So when are you going to make war on Israel, Mr. Brown?Alan Hart
March 10, 2010
There could not be a more graphic illustration of the double-standard that drives Western foreign policy and has prevented a resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict than Prime Minister Gordon Brown's explanation to the Chilcot Inquiry on why he, when he was Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer and wrote the cheques for it, backed the war on Iraq.
So, what did the Muslims do for the Jews?David J Wasserstein
June 30, 2012
Islam saved Jewry. This is an unpopular, discomforting claim in the modern world. But it is a historical truth. The argument for it is double. First, in 570 CE, when the Prophet Mohammad was born, the Jews and Judaism were on the way to oblivion. And second, the coming of Islam saved them, providing a new context in which they not only survived, but flourished, laying foundations for subsequent Jewish cultural prosperity - also in Christendom - through the medieval period into the modern world.
