Aswat Concert Jan 24th - the best yet!

We presented Aswat Concert this past Saturday 24th. We had a full house - and actually had to turn some people down. Our small group is a full orchestra now, with multiple lines of music and violins, base and alto. Our guest director Dr Sari Dwidar from Egypt did an amazing job. Also thousand thanks to Nabila Mango, the driving force behind the group. Check out the video below.

Mohammad Asha, Dr Evil, is Acquitted & FREE

"Doctor Evil" as some British newspapers dubbed Mohammad Asha, has been acquitted by the UK courts & set free!
I hope the British media would clear his image just like it associated it with terrorism.



Mohammad & I went to the same Jubilee high school in Jordan. He was few years younger than me. It's great that he's finally free. Too bad he had to waste more than a year of his promising life waiting in custody.
