This week while I was a bit sad about the passing Ibrahim Ferrer of the Buena Vista Social Club who died Saturday in Havana, Cuba, after a weeklong fight with emphysema. The Afro-Cuban vocalist was seventy-eight years old. If you like music, real good music, then next time you go to a music store grab a CD or even better, a video of Buena Vista Social Club and enjoy some good Spanish music. You don’t need to speak Spanish to enjoy this: http://www.afrocubaweb.com/ibrahimferrer.html or here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4133644.stmOn the same day I heard about the passing of Peter Jennings one of the American journalist I respect great deal. He was the only one in my view who spoke about the Palestinian problem in an impartial way, he was the only one who made sure when he invited an Israeli representative, that a Palestinian one was there, too. He knew the Arab world better than all the rest, if you do not know him: http://abcnews.go.com what a great man!!!Also read about the passing of Ahmed Didate, I don’t know lots about the man, but I remember watching him debate Jimy Swaggart long time ago and was impressed with his talent and how much he studied and seemed to know about the bible. http://www.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/E9F3850E-3628-411E-BD6B-7AE86DC0DC78.htmI also liked Robin Cook who also died last week, he was a man who stood for what he believed and always looked like an honest man. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/4129040.stm And of course the dozens who die in Iraq every day…Well, what a week!!! ALLAH YERHEMHOUM JAMIANE…..Inna lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raajioune...just thought i share that with you all... salaam, //en.yabiladi.com/topics/when-it-s-time-it-s-time-44-682573-682573.html#msg-682573 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 15:02:50 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
