Hosney Mubarak Aloof, Cold and Never Showed Love to the Egyptians He Got no Love Back from Them
By law of reciprocity Hosney Mubarak never showed love for the Egyptian people for 30years and appeared only as an authoritarian figure he got the same treatment back and no love to him.
Even he stayed in Sharm El-Shiekh away from them. He became greedy and got one 6 years term after another none stop. Even he was contemplating to get elected for another six years when his current term ends at 83. This meant he wanted to be the ruler of Egypt to age of 89. In the mean time he imprisoned the Muslim brotherhood by tens of thousands, confiscated their money and property and gave them hell so no body can stand in his way and greed.

Unconditional Negotiation is the Key for Stopping the Bloodshed in Libya
Too many lives have been lost. Too many injuries and people get maimed. Lot of destruction of properties. Lot of misery.
On the other hand the Arab World is very stupid and the only thing they are very active in is the denouncement of Moammar El-Kadhafi. This is very stupid. However, what you expect from the seculars in the Arab world nothing but stupidity and the loss of moral values.
From moral point of view and Islamic one this internal civil war must stop. Muslim countries should step in and put pressure on all sides to start unconditional negotiation.
Where is the foresight? Only stupidity.
The only one who offers intelligent and humane approach is the prime minister of Trurkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Germany has also the proper approach and she has declined any joint effort with France and Britain with their brutal savage bombing in Libya.

The Egyptian Ex-President Hosni Mubarak and the Death of 846 Egyptian Demonstrators almost all Muslims
Ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was complicit in shootings of anti-regime protesters during a period of upheaval in the country, a member of an official fact-checking commission said Tuesday.
"Whether the president gave the official order or remained silent knowing the shooting of protesters would take place, he is responsible for the 846 protesters who died during the January 25 revolution, especially since the killing started from Day One," said Judge Omar Marawan, the commission's secretary-general.
Marawan held a press conference after the release of the commission's report, which said 846 civilians and 26 policemen were killed during 18 days of protests that led to Mubarak's resignation on February 11.

Negotiation Between the Rebels in Libya and Muammar El-Kadhafi is a Must to End the Blood Shed and Death
Direct negotiations between the rebels and the Muammar El-Kadhafi is a must to end this killing and loss of lives. It is absurd that the rebels refuse such negotiations without the ousting of El-Kadhafi. This cycle of destruction and violence continue and in the mean time the coward rulers in the Arab world and the press in these counties do not call for the end of fighting and just attacking Kadhafi as oppressor. Well the killing and suffering on both sides are continuing and these foolish people should realize that. Why they are acting so stupid? Where there is no moral courage for some to say stop it? The situation is stale mate and if they are hoping that a military victory to oust Kadhafi then they are wrong. All indications point to that.

The Uprising and Demonstrators in Syria Should Sharpen their Demands ... What They Want?

Freedom of the mosque, television, radio and the press.
Speak up! Tell your demands.

Hosney Mubarak Thirty Years of Authoritarian Rule Comes to Crashing Halt
This is unbelievable — it really is. I just cannot believe that this is the end of Mubarak,” said a former political assistant to the ousted, and now jailed, former president Hosni Mubarak.
Speaking to Ahram Online amidst speculation over the declining health of the 82-year old former president, who is now being held in custody for questioning on charges of corruption and ordering the killing of peaceful demonstrators, this former member of his staff added that “those who have known Mubarak in his early years would have never thought of the turn of events that is currently unfolding.”
On 6 October 1981, then President Anwar Sadat was assassinated by Islamist soldiers angered by his 1979 peace deal with Israel. In less than a week, Mubarak was president of Egypt, following a referendum that gave him a comfortable majority.
Mubarak, who was born in the poor Nile Delta village of Kafr Moselha and joined the military academy before fighting in two wars against Israel, had publicly stated that he never thought he would one day be president.
Neither Sadat nor Nasser
“My name is Hosni Mubarak,” goes the famous quote of the former president during his early weeks in office in answering foreign press questions over whether he would pursue the policies of his predecessor, Sadat, or of Gamal Abdel Nasser.
From the outset Mubarak offered a mix of what both Sadat and Nasser had to offer. Of Sadat he followed the policies of economic liberalization, except at much faster pace, and of close relations with the West. Of Nasser he adopted, especially in the first two of five terms in office, an unassuming profile.
Unlike both Sadat and Nasser, Mubarak was no fan of dramatic actions. His political positions and statements were often qualified as over calculated and his call for stability amounted to what many critics qualified as stagnation.
Throughout close to 30 years in office Mubarak made hardly any surprise moves, on any front. He kept everything in check. Political reforms were spaced out and never fully achieved; economic reforms were advanced but with some caution; relations with Arab countries were resumed following the fallout during Sadat last years, but were never really taken further into full cooperation; and relations with the West and Israel were always stable, despite occasional frosty moments.
Two phases, two presidents
Mubarak did not keep a promise made during his early months in office of limiting his presidential terms to two. And it was only during the days leading to his ouster after the 25 January uprising that Mubarak called for the amendment of relevant constitutional articles.
By the account of ministers who served with Mubarak during his close to three decades in office, it would be wrong — some say unfair — to see his long rule as all negative. They also speak of Mubarak, at least in his early years, as “someone who is eager to listen” and who “makes his decisions carefully.”
However, those who served with Mubarak during the 1990s observed a tendency of conceit, impatience and stubbornness.
Age seemed to have taken its toll on him, especially during his last five years in office. And cabinet ministers speak of a not so well informed president who, in the words of one, “thought he knew everything” and that he was fully in control, forever.
“But whatever he did, he did out of true conviction, for right or wrong, that he was serving the country’s best interest,” said another former presidential officer. “This man made so many mistakes, it is true, but he was never a traitor; he was misguided.”
Bad advisors
According to both former presidential assistants, as well as former ministers, there are two men who are primarily responsible for Mubarak’s latter day illusions: Safwat El-Sherif, the former secretary-general of the ruling National Democratic Party and previously a long-serving minister of information, and Zakaria Azmi, Mubarak’s long time chief-of-staff.
The role of El-Sherif, they say, was to sell Mubarak a wide range of ideas such as the indispensability of the former president for the stability of the region and the need to remove advisors who dared to disagree with him.
El-Sherif is widely known to be the first to propose the idea of the “succession” of Gamal Mubarak to power after his father. Sources suggest he first sold the idea to former first lady Suzanne Mubarak, and then started working with her to convince the president. And despite apparent unease between Gamal and El-Sherif, sources add, the former was willing to play along.
Gamal found many people around him — especially Ahmed Ezz, the former NDP business tycoon — who were willing to support the succession scenario and to promise it would pass, despite wide public and intellectual dissent.
Hiding the truth
“The protection of everyone in the regime necessitated that someone from within the regime follow Mubarak in ruling the country; there was no question about it,” said a third presidential assistant who took leave a few years ago. “It was clear that things were taking a turn towards a very unfavourable direction, and nobody was telling this to the president.”
The biggest culprit, according to every source that worked at the presidency or served in the cabinet, was Azmi. This went beyond keeping facts from the president to actually lying to him, sources say. “The (president) trusted him so much and that was a big mistake,” said one former presidential assistant.
And while Mubarak’s rule took a firm dictatorial turn after the amendments of constitutional articles in 2005 and 2007 to make nominations for the presidency made to measure for Gamal, his elder son Alaa was expanding his business amidst speculation over the legitimacy of his deals and against a backdrop of clear signs of widespread corruption among associates, many of whom ended up as cabinet ministers.
The many and increasingly social, cultural and humanitarian activities chaired and championed by Suzanne Mubarak failed to secure sympathy for the increasingly disliked president and his family. Advice offered now and then to family members to pay more attention to public resentment was not heeded.
Fall from grace
Occasional moments of public sympathy occurred, especially after the death of Mubarak’s eldest grandson Mohamed Alaa Mubarak in May 2009. However, this was short-lived and was quickly overshadowed by tough living conditions and a widening chasm between the poor and rich.
The last moment of sympathy that Mubarak had was on the evening of 1 February — a week after the beginning of the January 25 Revolution — when he addressed the nation in an emotional speech and promised deep reforms, an end to dictatorship and to succession plans.
However, the following day, some of Mubarak’s men instigated a bloody attack against peaceful demonstrators in Tahrir Square. The overnight sympathy disappeared, anger increased and Mubarak’s ultimate ouster was all but inevitable.
Two months later, Mubarak found himself held in Sharm El-Sheikh International Hospital under a two-week custody order on charges of financial corruption and ordering the killing of protesters, accompanied by a devastated wife who is also to be questioned for financial irregularities.
Meanwhile, the two Mubarak sons are being held in Tora Prison, along with most of Mubarak’s closet aides.
Left behind are the wives of Alaa and Gamal: Heidy Rasekh and Khadiga El-Gammal, the beautiful daughters of two prominent businessmen who are also being investigated on allegations of corruption as well as the mothers of 11-year old Omar Alaa Mubarak and one year old Farida Gamal Mubarak whose first birthday on 23 March was celebrated away from the Orouba presidential residence in Heliopolis.

F
or many Egyptians, ousted President Hosni Mubarak's appearance Wednesday in a defendant's cage before a judge was one of celebration and redemption. "Today is a day of great happiness for all Egyptians… finally everyone is equal before the law, no matter who they are," said Mohammed El Kassas, a member of the January 25 Youth Coalition. Mubarak faces charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters who ultimately swept him from power six months ago. If convicted, the former leader could face the death penalty. Caged and lying on a gurney in a Cairo courtroom, Mubarak denied all charges. The shocking sight of the gaunt, ailing former despot is a far cry from the defiant leader who ruled the nation with an "iron fist" for nearly 30 years. Here, a look back at the three decades of Mubarak's authoritarian rule...................................................................................................................................................................

The Butchering of Muslims in Syria by the Secularists Funeral Imges
Syrian cities on Friday, including in Latakia where injuries were reported [Reuters]
Thousands gathered to attend the funerals of those killed in Syria's recent violence, while a local rights group accused state security forces of committing a crime against humanity, following the violent deaths.
People chanted freedom slogans after assembling for the mass funerals near the old Omari mosque in the old quarter of the southern city of Daraa on Saturday.
The National Organisation for Human Rights said that 37 people were killed during Friday's demonstrations across the country.
In Daraa, the centre of the protests, 30 people were killed. Three more people died in the central city of Homs and three in Harasta, a Damascus suburb, as well as one in Douma.
"Probably the protests yesterday were the most widespread since they began less than a month ago," Al Jazeera's Rula Amin said from the capital Damascus.
"People [in Daraa] are telling us thousands are expected to take part in the funerals of those who were killed and they insist on their version of events that it was the security forces who shot at their sons."
Residents in the Sunni district of Latakia also said security forces used live ammunition in the early hours of Saturday to disperse a pro-democracy protest by hundreds of people there.
"What is happening in Syria is a flagrant violation of [human rights]," the National Organisation for Human Rights said in a statement.
"The Syrian security committed [in Daraa] what could be called a crime against humanity ... It fired indiscriminately on protesters and killed and wounded tens of them."
The group listed the names of the dead in Daraa.

Arabs Calling Moammar El-Kaddafi a Monster However Any One Helped the Cause of Islam in Africa?
Actually the Arabs who call Moammar El-Kaddafi a monster they themselves are the monsters and evil ones. Kaddafi helped the Muslims in Africa and helped to spread Islam. Did any of these idiots care?
Kaddafi should institute drastic political reforms and paradoxically give more freedoms for Muslims in his own country. Actually to appease the west he harassed and persecuted Islamic activists in Libya. A mistake he is paying the price of it now.
