It has been a crazy week on my blog, I'm just currently busy with the last week of school but by this week I will have to come up with a new regulations for using and commenting on my blog.
When I started this blog it was basically because I wanted people to DISCUSS different issues that we are facing and as I believe we will be the new leaders for the world we should start to communicate more rather than fight and blame each other more. I don't expect that people will agree with all my opinions all the time, but at the same time I'm sure that I won't agree with all of the other opinions. I was really mad that I couldn't reply yet to every comment on my article but at the same time I was really more mad when I saw people swearing at me, or swearing at each other.
My request is to please respect this blog and respect each other. Let's assume that we might end up being one day negotitating many different topics, so if from now we can't do it properly I assure you that we won't ever reach something that humanity can get any benefit from.
I will be posting this some of the new regulations, as violating these rules will force me to delete your comment. I will only delete two comments now as someone who really can communicate used my name to say something I never said, and in the other comment someone used vulgar words against me.
Thank you very much for everyone who wrote anything so far on my blog and I hope you will respect it because I'm trying to build something in the gap between the west and the east.

im happy that you are regulating comments. but with all do respect, do you think you could remove the one equating israel with the nazis. you have every right to delete comments that are abusive to people, which you have done, but this one is far more hurtful. i think discussions with only succeed if everyone is respecful to each other, and their beleifs. debate is healthy, and positive if we have the common ground of 'peace' in mind. i fear that by keeping that post up, it will only encourage negative behaviour.
saalam and shalom
The only two posts I deleted were one because someone signed the comment with my name. And the other was for using vulgar words against myself.
Maybe I don't agree with the person who compared Israel to Nazis, which is hurtful to some people. But what about the person who for example attacked arabs and Palestinians by being terrorist dont you think it was offending to some people. What about people calling me also dumb wasn't that offending and hurt me.
So in that case I would have to delete all the previous comments because maybe I didn't mention the regulations. But from now on this blog can still be used to communicate and discuss how we can make things better.
I will be waiting more comments and suggestions from everyone so I can know how effective those rules will be. And again I don't encourage people with no respect to comment on this blog :)
Good for you Basel. Don't fall to any zionist demands. I am glad that you stick up for whats you believe in. israel does not have the right to exist on palestinian land! ever.
i have a friend at mcmaster who send me the link for this website. i am involved in a lot of lebanese and palestinian groups at mcgill, so i appreciate your articles.
the zionists are worse than the nazis. the zionists make up numbers about their so-called holocaust just so they call kill innocent arabs. they invaded our land and committed genocide. what about the real, palestinian, holocaust? the jews came and stole our land. the truth needs to be said.
i am happy that you stand for justice. this is your website, not the zionazis. i hope peace will come to the land, but only when the real terrorists decide to become humans, instead of animals, and put away their amaerican weapons.
good luck with you sheesha business.
maher

Maher, I'm so sorry for not replying to your question.
I was actually born in the Gulf but was raised in Jordan. So who is your friend that I might know that sent you the link :)
