Well, let’s take a look at some funny thing’s which also happened: last week the British Parliament brought out a new law, which bans smoking from all restaurants, bars, pubs and even private members clubs. Well, if you might thing now, that they did something good and healthy for the non-smokers which have to work there, and the non-smoking guests in these places, than you are wrong(especially with the private members clubs, cause they are for members only!). Because there is still one place in he UK where you can have your Ale or Porter in a warm place and you are not prohibited from smoking your cigars: it’s the bar in the House of Parliaments. So, as you can see, the politicians again took advantage of their privileges. And now, Karl Lauterbach, a so called "health-expert" (he never was at a University to learn anything about medicine)of the Social-democratic Party in Germany wants to have the same law here. He better should be careful; the bar owner’s will hang him!
So, and now some private stuff. Today I went to the Neurology for an examination, and was told that I will have to wear a "Heidelberger Schiene" for a while and that I will get massages for therapy. Not so much fun. Also my Mom had her birthday today, so we had a family diner together. Oh, yes, yesterday Wolfgang got a phone call from Pierre, and it seems that Michael has got him totally under control right now. So we don’t think that he’ll come again for our dart evenings, because Micha will tell him that there he is endangered to drink a few beers. We will see what’s coming up.
Oh, I nearly forgot to tell that on July, the 15th there will be another Love-Parade in Berlin. I’ll put in a few pictures from the last one in a new album in a couple of days.

This week everything in the middle-east gets even more explosive. And what are politicians are doing? The start to make excuse for the drawings instead of fighting for our rights! These sandal licking bastards. We have to stand up strong against them, who wants to push us into their way of thinking. WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH!
And we will fight for this right, no matter what! Only our right of free thinking and speaking made it possible to build up a modern, economically successful society. There is also a very good article in the Times Online . I suggest that you should read it. I also recommend the web-log of Ayaan Hirsiali , it’s in the English, French and German language. After she wrote her book, she can’t go out without bodyguards, and the man who made a movie from it got killed in the Netherlands. On her side you also can find a link to see a Trailer from it. If you have seen it and read her story, you will know why we have to stand straight and fight for our rights, for the human rights of everybody.

He, wanna make a lot of money? But you have to be a Muslim to get it. The Taliban have put out rewards. Every Muslim who kills one of the danish satiric drawers will get 100 kg of Gold, and for every killed human from one of the countries in which them where printed, they wanna pay 5 kg of Gold. And the Iran will help to pay it. I guess now nobody can still say, that it’s possible to talk with Ahmadinedschad who also wants to destroy Israel.
That these people are not real Muslims, and that they misuse the religion for their own, dirty stuff- what has been done by many Arabic leaders- the Kurdish Journalist Khasraw Saleh Koyi has written in his article in the Kurdish Media . It’s very interesting to read his opinion, you’ll find out a lot of things that you probably didn’t know.

Sorry, but I didn’t had any time to write anything last week. Or better lets say I was to much engaged with European political blogs. Now even the first people died in that conflict(one of them was a Italian priest). That all of that is directed by some extremely fundamentalist idiots(you also could say terrorist’s and dictator’s) should be clear to everyone right now. Especially if you know, that the satiric drawings had been printed in Egyptian newspapers on the 17th of October already, and there wasn’t any trouble at all. Take a look. The journalists where saying that they didn’t liked them and that it is not alright, but that’s all
And now, suddenly, after a so long time, when the atomic conflict with the Iran grows to a higher step(and that Muslim Hitler Ahmadinedschad first declares our chancellor Angela Merkel a stupid Zionist, and than as a new Hitler, because she and the other EU country’s will put the atomic debacle to the security council), now that thinks are happening. Well you can make up your own opinion. It’s also very interesting to read what the Sunday Times has to say about freedom of press and that conflict, also for that ones who can speak German it might be interesting what the Swiss newspapers(they didn’t printed the drawings) have to say about it. It’s the NZZ on Sunday and the Sonntagsblick .
By the way, yesterday was a demonstration against that satiric drawings here in Berlin too. But it was peaceful.

Good thinks first: Friday was very successful for me, I won 3 times, Wolfgang also and Chrissie twice, she also had made the day record with 118 points(it’s her personal record, too).
And now the bad things: in the Arab world the aggression gets higher and higher, now the embassy’s and flag’s of western country’s are burning again. And that only because of 12 satiric cartoons of Muhammad in a Danish newspaper(first published a few month ago) and than brought together with 3 false cartoons to the middle east, made by Islamic fundamentalists to make real trouble in the Muslim world.
The false ones where made by an danish Muslim group, their leaders are Ahmed Akkari and the Imam Abu Laban. You easily can see that they are false ones, because of their very bad quality, not like the 12 real ones. The original 12 ones where not made against the Islamic religion, they where made to hold them a mirror in front of their faces. In my eyes these original satiric pictures are made to show us and them the misuse of religions by a few fanatics, just to get more powerful and suppress innocence people with terror, and that even legally. That some fundamentalist Mullahs are against that pictures is absolutely normal. Cause if the majority of the Muslims would look and think at least a little bit, they could understand them as that what they really are.
In the British newspaper "Daily Telegraph" (they didn’t printed the satiric) was a nice article about freedom and in other newspapers and blogs, too. By the way: did you know that the possession of a bible is a crime in Saudi Arabia? Well, so much about tolerance. As I promised, I will open up a new album that you can see them and the false ones, too.
PS: Mohammad pictures where made through all times, by believing Muslims and Christians. you can find them on this side , there are also links to other pages about it.

During the last week I was reading a lot about the Muhammed cartoons in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten and especially about the reaction from some Muslims to them. I also joined a discussion blog about it, and I must say that I really got angry by now about the Arab world. I saw the anti-Jewish cartoons in Arab newspapers look here (and one with the Pope and a Jewish devil too!Look here), and I must say that nobody in the western world has made any trouble about it. And when I see now what kind of trouble they do, I only can ask myself if they are all mad!
It seems, that many of them still haven’t understand the meaning of freedom, and especially not freedom of press. Are their minds still living in the the middle age? OK, they say it’s not allowed to make pictures of Muhammed, but even believing Muslims made them earlier before(if you search in the web you will find a lot of them). So, whats the heck is the matter? They better should cool down and look in the mirror.
Maybe I’ll open up a new album with the pictures if that will go on!

Within the last three month my Mom had to stay at her home and she wasn’t able to get out, she had to much pain. Now guess what happened yesterday? She wanted to go shopping with me, and she made it quite well and enjoyed it after a so long time. So the OP which she had was really successful. Even today she went out for a half hour.
But when I talked to Jovy yesterday, she told me that she wasn’t able to read my blog since a couple of days. Even with the direct link it wasn’t working. I really don’t know what’s wrong, but I mailed a question to friendster, maybe they know why, cause she never had any problems with it before.
