حب الوطن في السراء والضراء

ليس هناك شك بأن نحن الوطن و الوطن نحن, بل حبنا لهذا الوطن حب فطرة و انتماء و فليس حب مصلحة او غايه. انما هو فطرة زرعها الله – جل و على- في كل انسان متنوع في اعراقه و تقاليده. {ما أطيبَكِ مِنْ بَلَدٍ وأحبَّكِ إليَّ ولولا أنَّ قومي أخرجوني مِنكِ ما سكنتُ غيرَكِ} قالها الحبيب المصطفى – صلى الله عليه و سلم – عنما كان يودع المكه المكرمه, بكلمات قد نشأت من اعماق القلب التي عبرت عن تعلقه بوطنه, بمائه, برمله, بصخوره, و بجباله. فضلنا على هذا الوطن فضلا كبيرا, فنعمه علينا غير محدودة, و من واجبنا ان نحافظ عليها و نصونها للأجيال القادمه, فنغرس فيهم القيم الأجتماعيه لكي يعيشوا متعاونين, و يرحم كبيرهم على صغيرهم. نعم, و يضل المجتمع كالبنيان متماسكا بعضه بعضا. لأننا نشأنا في هذا الوطن, فليس غريبا ان ننتمي اليه, و نشاركه في السراء و نخدم وطننا لكي نعبر عن حبنا له و نعزه, و من الضراء أن نموت في سبيله و ندافع عنه بكل ما نملك و نوقف في وجه العدو الذي قد يحاول الهجوم على أرضنا. فنعتبر كلنا جنود هذا الوطن , فنحترم كل أفراده و علمائه.
بالنسبة الى الشخصيات التي ساهمت في تطويير هذا الوطن فهي عديدة , قد خدمو البلاد بنيه خالصه في وجه الله. منهم الشيخ قاسم بن محمد الثاني من مؤسسين دولة قطر. حكم قطر من سنة 1878م إلى 1913م و قاتل في خمسة عشر معركه خلال حكمه. من صفاته التي ذهلتني هي بأنه لم يكن حاكم فقط, بل كان امام في المسجد و قاضي و فارس و شاعر و تاجر و ارى أن هذه الصفات التي تميز القائد من غيره. فكان الشيخ قاسم – رحمه الله تعال – وفي لوطنه و دينه و حارص على أخذ القرارات المناسبه.
لا يتطلب من الشخص الكثير ان يكون فاعلا في بناء وطنه, بل الحب الفطري هو الذي يوحد الشعب و يقوده في السراء و الضراء, بالإضافه الى النيه المخلصه للوطن. فمن واجبنا كأفراد من هذا المجتمع أن نعبر عن حبنا بالعمل و الفعل و بما أعطاه الله تعالى لنا من قدرة, و أن نكون مصدر أمان و سلام و طمأنينه.

Algeria

...estimated 700,000 dead, and thousands more scarred physically and psychologically. Both sides of the battle, the Algiers and the French paratroopers, used merciless guerrilla tactics and torture against its own people.[1] Algeria continued however to struggle with civilian casualties. Among those the “Berber people at the hands various factions of insurgents, and was successful for a while”[2]. It is my assertion that decolonization France did not grant formal eminent rule, nor did it administer political order and help cultivate Algeria peacefully as a nation. The question remains however, would Algeria have succeeded long term as a nation under French rule? One can argue that Algerian ties to advanced French culture, language, medicine, technological advancement and western culture would have left Algerians in a much better conditions than the alternatives of the ensuing regimes that have depleted French roots in the country. In light of...

Battle of Algiers

...years later, the people overthrew French colonial rule and won their independence. The film is an insightful interpretation of the effect of Western colonialism; as such, it's an important source of reference in the discussion of current events involving the West's intervention in the Middle East. The movie begins with a torture scene in which French paratroopers have just gained information about the freedom fighters. The French know where the leader, Ali Pointe, is hiding and he has thirty seconds to surrender. Much of the film is a flashback from the point of view of Ali Pointe, the leader of the resistance. The way the film came about is surprising in many ways. The movie was subsidized by the Algerian government and written by the real leader of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLM) while he was in a French prison. The rebel leader, Saadi Yacef interviewed three filmmakers and chose Pontecorvo as his movie director. Yacef stars as the leader of the FLN in the film; he's also the film's producer. This makes for a shockingly realistic portrayal of the bombings and assassinations of...

Antisemitism and Catholic Colonial Algeria in the Time of Dreyfus

...extended to the streets, as it did in response to the publication of Émile Zola's 1898 “J'accuse.” Zola's open letter indicted the Army General Staff for antisemitism and cover-up, and prompted reactionary riots across France, the most violent of which occurred in French colonial Algiers. There, the burning of Zola in effigy sparked a riot in which 158 shops were destroyed, six Jews were assaulted (two fatally), and 9 rioters, 47 police, and a large but unknown number of Jews were seriously injured.[2] As the site of some of the only murderous violence during the Affair, colonial Algeria deserves particular attention. Examining the Dreyfus Affair from the perspective of French colonial Algeria illuminates the place of antisemitism in Algerian political culture, the development of modern French antisemitism, and the relationship between antisemitism and colonial racism.[3] According to George Fredrickson, antisemitism, like all Western racisms, is predicated on a presumption of basic human equality rooted in Christian and Enlightenment...

Lending Institutions, Healthcare and Human Capital in Algeria

...However, the extensive state ownership of banks severely undermines regulatory governance (IMF, 2004). Many uncertainties also surround the preconditions for effective banking supervision and sustainable macroeconomic policies. These uncertainties also hinders well-developed public infrastructure, effective market discipline, efficient resolution of banking problems and appropriate level of systemic protection. Evident in the IMF (2004) report is the award of banking licenses to individuals without experience. The net worth of bank owners could not be reliably established (IMF, 2004). The 1990 law on money did not require full capital payment. This culminated to the failure of the largest private bank in 2003 with assets of 3% of GDP. The Algerian banking system currently has 28 active lending institutions of which 21 are banks and 7 are financial institutions. There is also one development bank and an offshore bank. The total number of lending institutions has increased from end 1999 when there were 21 as a result of private sector development. Even though, currently there are 15 private banks, the public sector remains predominant (IMF, 2004). They have long been mere instruments of state policies. Public banks accounts for a high proportion of total banking sector activity, in particular, they represent 86.5% of the aggregate balance sheet, 91% of loans extended and 84% of deposits taken as of end-2002. The restructuring of public enterprises that have been insufficiently productive...

Scramble for Africa

...wars. It is apparent that the motives behind many historical actions have been misguided with half-truths and whole lies. My teachings have revolved around bettering inferior lands with generosity and a duty to teach a better way of life. An event that exemplifies dominance through violence and belief of superiority was that of the 19th century overtaking of Algeria by France, better known as the Pacification of Algeria. The event began in the late 1830s and continued well into the 1840s when Algeria was finally annexed to France in 1848. The French military was ordered to pacify the country of Algeria using any means necessary to push out the native Algerians. This in turn opened the doors to French expansion into this Northern African Country. An army of 108,000 French troops tracked down Algerians, tortured, humiliated, and killed them, or ejected them from their lands and villages. The crimes related with this violent process cannot be understated and escalated in severity in 1845. As French troops continued their devastating display through the country,...

The Battle of Algiers

...plight of the Third World. He created a film genre (anti-colonialism) that while at first controversial would eventually become a mainstream source for modern classics. He was one of the first directors to take on the challenging subjects of terrorism and torture, in an era where the preferred treatment of the historical film was sterilization, not realism. Pontecorvo portrayed women realistically, not as an idealized pieces of scenery. Most important, Pontecorvo achieved the admirable feat of creating films that accurately reflected historical accuracy and cinematic excellence. And he did all this while advancing a political thesis. In The Battle of Algiers (1966) Gillo Ponetcorvo uses factual content extrapolated from the history of the Algerian War to demonstrate a historical lesson: to defeat an ideologically entrenched, locally supported underground nationalist movement, you must employ measures (suppression of civil liberties, police brutality, military aggression, and eventually torture) that while crucial to winning battles against underground networks (like the FLN in Algiers) in the short run, these counter-insurgency actions will ultimately serve to bolster the opposition to authority in the long run. Eventually, as Pontecorvo's coda suggests, the tactics of the counter-insurgency will validate the nationalists' ideological protests and the result will be a revolutionary tidal wave against the colonizer (France) making occupation untenable. Pontecorvo's film is framed...

Defining Democracy

...Baback Nabidavoodi Dr. Harder English 1B 30 January 2014 Defining Democracy Democracy began in ancient Mesopotamia and continued on through classical Greece and Rome then towards the rise of Islamic civilization to the modern day in the United States. It has gone through its trials and tribulations to become what it is today and continues to change and grow. Democracy is defined in the Merriam Webster dictionary as "a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections " Also has been defined as a government "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." by our 16th president Abraham Lincoln. Elements that a government must have to be considered a democracy are that it must have a political system for electing and re-electing new officials for the government through free and fair elections. Furthermore, it needs an active participation of the citizens in politics and everyday life, all citizens must have protection of their human rights, and there has to be a rule of law, which is when the laws apply equally to all citizens. A government must comprise of all these elements in order to be called a legitimate democracy. Elections are key for a democracy. Elections provide the citizens of that country an opportunity to choose someone they accept in the given office and it also gives them...

Cultural Diversity in Paris

...painting, literature, music, fashion, and even architecture and landscape. I however think that although Paris is indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and perhaps even one of the great wonders of the worlds, by today’s standards it is a city that parallels the vast diversity exemplified in other major global cities like New York City, and Barcelona and unfortunately, as a practical observer of the global community, I do not see the magic that others see in Paris. Yes, I do agree that the Parisian way of life coupled with its political, intellectual, and cultural contributions to the global market has earned it regardless of the its flow of influence, the title of a major player in the world economy. It is therefore easy to recognize why for centuries, the French language has remained one of "The Official" international languages of diplomacy. Today, beyond its high culture, political, and economic place on the world stage, Paris is as many other great cities in the world, an amazing melting-pot of ethnic communities rich in their own historical contributions to the great nation of France. For generations, Paris’ incredibly diverse population has fostered a vast interest from intellectuals seeking a heaven for their innovations. In fact before the war, the world-famous Café de Flore in...

Understanding the Modern Middle East

...Understanding the Modern Middle East What have I learned this semester about the modern Middle East? First I must start with the conflict between Israeli and Palestinian conflict as well as my understanding of what a modern nationalism is and the advocacy toward the Middle Eastern region. In order to truly understand the nation states one must have knowledge about modernity. Modernity which seeks accuracy and representation is a hybrid of nature and culture differences. (Lecture 1/26) History assists us with defining modernity because history is the hybridization of current, past and future, which is the “unknown known”. We can tell the future because of the past, history has its way of repeating itself. The past is what we study, historiography. Modernity also goes hand in hand with control the surround regions, relationships and objects tell which regions have the control over the nation-states. Modernity aids economics and provides the particulars of the evolution of history. (Lecture 2/1) Politics are central to history. Geography matters, it is important to the evolution of history. A religion is traditional and provides prologue. The role of ideology plays a huge part in my understanding of the modern Middle East. Saddam Hussain wanted a secularized government. The issue with his ideology is that secularism is modern, however religion is traditional. Palenstine historically a struggled with existed between secular and theocratic values.

The Future of Criminal Justice

...Terrorists attack. This paper will explain why terrorism is a law enforcement concern as well as how terrorism is considered a crime. At last the paper will state some recommendations that the American Criminal Justice should do, to better prepare for future crimes. Why is terrorism a law enforcement concern? In the Criminal Justice System law enforcement is one of the agencies that are dedicated to enforcing the laws as well as maintaining order, and control crime within the community. Law Enforcement police officers are the most visible representative of the government in American society; therefore police agencies are responsible for a wide variety of services (Fagin, 2005). Some of those responsibilities include traffic enforcement, accident investigation, patrol and first response to incidents, property crime investigation, violent crime investigation as well as investigating deaths and murders (Fagin, 2005). In other words law enforcement agencies are the ones that physically interact with the community most of the time. After the attack that happened on September 11th on the WTC and the Pentagon, “the criminal justice system assumed new roles on terrorism” (Fagin, 2005 page 19). Prior to the September 11 attack law enforcement agencies were dedicated to one primary goal which was fighting crime. Law Enforcement agencies did not consider airline hijacks as possible freedom fighters or...

Immigrant Groups In The Twentieth Century

...the difference between European and non-European culture rendered them incompatible, thus they couldn’t be combined into an integrated ensemble. He argued that the social project of the leftist groups (new citizenship) was portent of the dangers of integration to the national identity. He added that the common European foundation of diverse cultures already in France made them only compatible amongst themselves and none other. Interestingly war was not waged just by the French nationals but even foreigners who wanted a convergence of politics. Mayoud, a member of French-Palestinian and French-Arab organizations held the view of the Parti Républicain. This party advocated for the trampling of communities’ right to be different. It had a program in 1978 which maintained that immigrant communities possessed habits, practices and a way of life that offended the French citizens. Another participant (Henri de la Bastide) criticized French-born children of immigrants of ignorance regarding the western culture other than consumerism. He further warned that these children were potential dangers to the French economy and society as they ended up in gangs owing to their poor states. A similar standing to that of the Club de l'Horloge colloquia was held by the contributors in the GRECE conference to seal assimilation as a prerequisite for integration. Surprisingly, these elites had not gleaned anything from the Jewish eviction from Spain. Assimilation wasn’t helpful for the Jews and neither...

Malaria in Rural Tanzania

...biggest killers in Sub-Saharan Africa. Children, pregnant women and HIV-infected individuals are most susceptible to contracting the illness. Tanzania, located in east Africa, is among one of the poorest of countries in the world and is burdened with malaria. There are several factors that contribute to the malaria endemic in Tanzania, including: poverty, environmental and special factors, and access to healthcare. Background Malaria has been in existence since 2700 B.C. (Lambert, 2003). In fact, the ancient Chinese wrote about its symptoms in their medical writings. It is believed to have originated in Western-Africa. In 1879 Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran, a Public Health researcher began his studies on malaria in an Algerian hospital. He noticed that there was a pigment in the blood of people who suffered from malaria, but he was unsure of what that pigment was. After ten years of extensive research, he discovered that the pigment was a parasite, the agent for malaria (Lambert, 2003). Soon after Alphonse’s breakthrough, Ronald Ross, a British army officer discovered that the vector for malaria is a mosquito (Lambert, 2003). In 1890, Giovanni Batista Grassi and Raimondo Filetti named Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malaria as the two parasites that affected humans (CDC, 2010)....
