Jamal S. Baadani, President and Founder of The Association of Patriotic Arab Americans in Military (APAAM), recently sent an email to his organizational listserv asking for assistance in preventing the deportation of an active-duty Arab sergeant in the US Army, Hicham Benkabbou.

KSA Defends Punishment for Rape Victim
Reason one trillion why Wahhabism should be purged from Islam, the House of Saud should be overthrown, stripped of its wealth, and exiled, and the House of Shaykh should be tried and sentenced according to their own perverted take on Hamarabi’s law… The Saudi judiciary on Tuesday defended a court verdict that sentenced a 19-year-old [...]
Congrats to Niko “Tito” Muvarakopolis!!!
Also known to the KABOBfest community as “Nidalio,” Niko fulfilled a lifelong dream last night by finally opening his own dance studio. Located in the heart of West Philadelphia, Humpity Hump aims to provide disadvantaged youth with an alternative outlet for artistic expression. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icMFpg9zqU8] Needless to say, he’s the “talk of the town” in his [...]
OH SNAP! Almontaser Sues NYC Mayor

Pop Quiz Hotshot!
Why is Israel fixing power grids in the Gaza Strip? A. Because it realizes that blackouts aren’t an effective means of collective punishment when those people you’re trying to punish don’t have electricity to begin with (cause you already eff-ed it up a while back) B. Because it wants to hemilna jmeeleh that it makes [...]
McCain Acknowledges Hillary is a “Bitch”
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BnA_uPz7d8] As a close friend of numerous bitches (namely Will and Nabeel), I take personal offense to this… But on a serious note, I have to disagree with Mike Allen. I’m disappointed that McCain didn’t handle this situation with a lot more class. Or, at the very least, assume that the old bag was talking [...]
Israel Urges Disney To Sue Hamas
This is pretty funny: Ynet reports that Israel’s consulate in Los Angeles is appealing to Walt Disney Corporation “to question whether Hamas violated copyright laws” by using a Mickey Mouse look-a-like (Farfour) in an anti-Israel kids show. Allow me to help out with this one: Yes, Hamas robbed Mickey. No, Disney will never get a [...]
Haifa University Hinders Free Speech
Here’s an interesting story that’s controversial for all the wrong reasons: Arab students attending the Haifa University distributed on Tuesday a leaflet titles “The Palestinian Student’s Journal,” which featured texts regarding the reoccupying of Jerusalem. Pick up on the controversy yet? Here’s a hint… it’s the reoccupation of Jerusalem. OoooOOOooooh! Can you believe those ungrateful [...]
“My Loony Bun Is Fine Benny Lava!”
Why not start the weekend off with some dope ass Indian music? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1NoOOoaNw] Is it just me, or does anyone else imagine that this is what a musical interpretation of Fayyad’s honeymoon night would look and sound like? “I’d love to see you pee on us tonight! OooOoooh!” [tarboush tip: Emily]
Let’s Shit on the House of Saud!
Saudi nationals are relieved that reports claiming Pope Benedict XVI “merely touched” King Abdullah’s sword weren’t the other way around… otherwise that’d be TOTALLY GAY! Fatwa bans “Crazy Frog” from reciting the Shehadeh. “Doing the Butt,” however, remains the Kingdom’s number one downloaded ring-tone. Culturally-insensitive Saudi police punish Egyptian for practicing favorite national pass-time. (Sorry [...]
