Khaled Hamza.. the man I knew

Today I knew that Eng. Khaled Hamza "the editor-in-chief of the official English website of the Muslim Brotherhood http://www.ikhwanweb.com/" was arrested.

Hamza was arrested from the street and 90 MBs joined him in jail today morning. It seems that this campaign against the MB society is strongly related to the intention of the corrupted Egyptian regimen to besiege the MBs a few days before the sentencing session of the military tribunal to issue a ruling on the yearlong case as well as preventing the MBs candidates from running their election campaigns in the local elections of governorates.

I don't want to speak about these political issues because all media is talking about it night & day but I want to write about Eng. Khaled, the man that I knew.

I can claim that Eng. Khaled is one of the best, smartest and most important minds I've ever met, not only inside the Muslim brotherhood movement but also in the Islamic and political scene in the Arab world as a whole.

I met him a few times before, and I owe him a lot of my knowledge specially "rulers theory" which he taught me.

I met him by chance few hours before being abducted, he welcomed me a lot and gave me a gift. It was the book of Michael moore "Stupid white men".
Khaled is a very, well-cultured and open minded man, moreover he's also very descent and gentle.

This Man has got a lot of chronic diseases which are eating into the bodies of Egyptians, however he doesn't complain about his diseases and thus I don't know what he got exactly.

Khaled has a number of young sons and a great Syrian wife, I didn't meet her but I'm sure she's as much great as him. (Behind every great man a great woman).

Khaled was able, with a very small work team, to reach the whole world and to build and maintain a strong relationships with members of civil community from allover the world. This is not due to anything as far as his culture and open mind.

He deserved to be arrested from the street like criminals because we live under the control of rotten regimen which detains honorable and wise men and leave rein of thieves and criminals.

I have nothing to do but writing about this great man , and pray for him to be free soon in the midst of his wife and kids.

Khaled Hamza is calling for reform and speaks out against tyrrany and dictatorship in a corrupt country. Hamza is a member of a group-the Muslim Brotherhood-that calls for freedom, prosperity and human rights in a country where people's demands have unfortunately been reduced to securing loaves of bread.

Demotix- The Citizen Wire

Dear Ganobi,

You're site is fantastic. We hope you might see a cross over with what we're launching!

Demotix is a website for user-generated news, and a citizen ‘wire’ service. Think of it like Flickr or YouTube, but only for original photo/video news. You tell us what is going on, we tell the worldwide web and the world’s mainstream media. As of now, www.demotix.com is live.

Why are we doing it?
We believe citizen journalism – well-managed – can be a tremendous force in political participation, civil society, and freedom of speech around the world. And we believe the media needs rescuing.

• Only four US newspapers have foreign news desks (the NY Times, LA Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal), and there are only 141 US foreign correspondents currently working today (in print and broadcast media)
• In the UK, a 2006 study of the broadsheets showed that more than 50% of the news was directly attributable to press releases
• The world’s media (over 90%) relies on the wire services – the Associated Press and Reuters – for their news. But some 80 countries, or 40% of the world’s nations, have no bureau from either agency.
The news is shrinking daily. We hope Demotix can plug that gap, and more.
We hope to be giving a megaphone to the man and woman in the street with a story to tell. We hope to be able to change the news map – bringing real, raw, original information from countries and about issues the mainstream media haven’t touched in years.

Eventually we hope that Demotix will be THE place where anyone in the world can go, in safety, to upload news – major, minor, local, cultural, political, social... We already have agreements with the Daily Telegraph, Newsweek, La Repubblica, Prospect and others – and will now supply them with a daily wire and picture feed of 'citizen' news. We have also built partnerships with Amnesty, Reporters Sans Frontieres, Witness and many others.

But we need your help. We want to do in pictures/video what you do for text. If you think there is a cross-over and you like us, please write about us, link to us, spread the news. We're nothing without contributors, and your readers are exactly whom we want to be reaching out to. We can get their news out to the world, and in the process change what news is reported. And we'll charge the mainstream media for anything they use, splitting the fees 50:50 with our contributors.

Please be in touch! Are there other ways we might collaborate?
With all thanks

Turi

فى خلال الثلاثين عاما الماضية تعرضت مصر الى حملة منظمة لنشر ثقافة الهزيمة - The Culture of Defeat - بين المصريين, فظهرت أمراض اجتماعية خطيرة عانى ومازال يعانى منها خمسة وتسعون بالمئة من هذا الشعب الكادح . فلقد تحولت مصر تدريجيا الى مجتمع الخمسة بالمئه وعدنا بخطى ثابته الى عصر ماقبل الثورة .. بل أسوء بكثير من مرحلة الاقطاع.
هذه دراسة لمشاكل مصرالرئيسية قد أعددتها وتتناول كل مشاكلنا العامة والمستقاة من الواقع وطبقا للمعلومات المتاحة فى الداخل والخارج وسأنشرها تباعا وهى كالتالى:

1- الانفجار السكانى .. وكيف أنها خدعة فيقولون أننا نتكاثر ولايوجد حل وأنها مشكلة مستعصية عن الحل.
2- مشكلة الدخل القومى .. وكيف يسرقونه ويدعون أن هناك عجزا ولاأمل من خروجنا من مشكلة الديون .
3- مشكلة تعمير مصر والتى يعيش سكانها على 4% من مساحتها.
4 - العدالة الاجتماعية .. وأطفال الشوارع والذين يملكون كل شىء .
5 - ضرورة الاتحاد مع السودان لتوفير الغذاء وحماية الأمن القومى المصرى.

Hi Amr Magid

I am writing a paper at University on blogging as a way of mobilizing and a way of getting stories out to the public outside the "normal" media.

I would be very courius to know more about why you blog, what made you start and what you believe blogs can do.

I really hope you would talk to me about these questions since I find it very interesting.

You can contact me through ALMBs352@newschool.edu.

Best

Me
