Mhee and eid Elkebir

Not Just for the sake of bla-bloging, but out of honest emotions that Mohee in Blognehg reflects on his experience going home for Ed Elkebir. The abrahamaic muslim tradition of sacrifice.

The myth explains Mohee as told b everyone tells the story of Ismael how was about to be slaughtered by his father when the arch angel Jibreel brings him a sheep to sacrifice. Ismael was saved once and for good.

Mohee stated that over 200 million sheep are killed or rather slaughtered in the all the muslim countries.

Millions of people go visiting their families every year to celebrate this holiday.

This year more than SIX million heads were sacrificed for the honor of god and to save Ismael’s head. In most cities the killings are done in the homes but in the country side, Mohee, this has to happen in public and people slaughter in the streets.

People can sacrifice as they want but they should not do it infrond of young kids. “this i can not tolerate” says Mohee, “ an animal also has right like all living beings”

The images of blood Mohee has seen were not good.

semantics of dysfunctions

reflections

escaping the real is seen as escaping any way when reality does not fit any more in any form of understanding. i collected myself escapingly from being injected meanings i do not want to hold in my body. i do not want to understand. i want to stay illiterate and enjoy the mysteriousness of latin script and arabic abajadiya(alphabet).
understanding how letters pronounce is work. it becomes more work… hard work as reflection goes beyond meaning or when sight/reading allows for confusion and abcd-ed smantic dysfunctions.
the other day, a friend was talking about original thoughts and he said that no thought is original. by the end of the week, people speak in what they had learned during that week. well enough, what if their is no week , no weekend and no concept of both. oops… What are you going to do, brother?... it is scary.. when the smartest of us get entangled in the packaged understanding.. a semantic packaging.
i have a big problem with academia in this regard. universities sustain an “abcd” culture and leaves no single way for any oral knowledge to continue. we are taught to write and shut up. writing in the way anyone else writes. think in the same way. and eventually conform to the same way of being which can be categorized and easy to militarize. Oops. now i will start thinking where should i start if all the struggle for being is altered by this nonsense usually called religion and knowledge.

past tense bisklitas

bisklita:
this is a bisklit that had to stay on the roofs (sstah) of a moroccan house in the cemented medina..not needed anymore. well needed in the past mashee now. and all the other bsklitas of the past had to do the same. a bisklitik retirement that had bezzaf to do with awareness about the presence of taxis ad buses when time is not in our ands anymore.
use this means of communication... sorry transportation to go anywhere in cities like rabat and taroudant. now it is becoming almost impossible to use bisklita's if you’re not in areas kike marrakech where they are a structural element of a general being. marrakech can't "be" without the bisklias. anything else is quit added.
initially, the creation of a big city like marrakech required predicting ways of moving round. donkeys, mules, and shoes were the major elements. when the first bisklits came over, they were quit welcome as they changed not many things in the general layout or rather the active configuration of space in the medina. in 1912, the first car did really make it to marrakech. they had to keep it in fes... in the palace. once cars arrived people started hearing different noises... different functions in their acoustic sphere. very annoying to an ear used to "ddeqqa" ritual dance and music as well as the "mluk" of gnawa.
now more sounds are heard... and less sorting is made. sounds do not make sense anymore... hearing moved to big convention centers.. now we are hearing more our past tense.. if utterances make any sense.

Jadarmiyya d desert

Jadarmiyya d desert

and it was all about the borders again. algeria morocco without capitals. what capitals good for if they do not really translate the concerns of people. i do not personally like capitals specially in the eyes i mean "I" and in the beginnings things like rabat algiers nouakshoot.. did i just misspell again this Victorian transtextual leit motif. i care a little.
the borders are again full of injured hungry people that we all call afraican after having spent a whole lot of time trying to " burn" the borders to a promised land: europa. i know how it looks like to be under the mercy of moroccan jadarmiyya. the gendarmes of the sahara. city dwellers who are pissed off.. angry and hungry for moroccan riyals.
i know the sahara borders from times of camel traffics and now cigarettes and hashish. well sometimes arms well we sell everything in the borders and we buy jadarmiyya. and now our friends the gendarmes have other occupations that have to do with the "black" illegal immigrants. they are not six or seven people, they are thousands of people. scary situation for the gendarmes. but they easiest thing is to throw them out there n what s called the borders of algeria. and start the talk of the regimes. insulting each other. and accusing each other about things done. they never talk about things to do. Things like opening the borders for people to visit each other. or problems of Tiharyyin and other villages that we had to evacuate in the deserts of morocco.
 according to aljazeera, morocco has recently expelled at least 2000 immigrants, sparking concern from international human rights groups and aid organizations about the conditions and speed of the operation."Difficulties are compounded as Morocco has strained relations with Algiers since the latter has backed the Polisario Front during more than a decade of political impasse following a truce in 1992, and hosts Polisario's Saharawi government in exile."
well things get mixed up for the two capitals. and the Polizario issues surfaced here are just a face of shame that the two regimes are showing. who cares about what they think now. the care should fall on these thousands of people thrown out there in the sahara deserts without food or medication. there are pregnant women and sick people women and men who need help.
Mr. jettou, the head of moroccan bureaucracy accuses algeria of letting illegal immigrants cross the borders. he thinks that algeria is trying to foreground the W.Sahara issue by letting all these people in.
well here we are busy talking about how low the contexts are and we so the readings for our PI classes.  we know about the coming frosts more than we know about bread needed for our friends imprisoned in the sahara deserts trying to just reach home. bennaqs.
