Queen Rania on YouTube

Jordan’s queen Rania is trying something extraordinary. In March 2008, she started a YouTube channel which is described as- “dedicated to breaking down stereotypes about the Arab and Muslim worlds and to bridging the East-West divide, this is Queen Rania’s official YouTube Channel.” East refers to the Middle East, about which (perhaps along with all other parts of the East) misconceptions are rife in the West.

This video was released when she received YouTube Visionary Award.

Here is a link to her YouTube channel.

We wish her all the best in her endeavor.

Sacred Street Art

This video gave me chills… inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun.

A powerful account of the graffiti mural created in the Bronx New York, a memorial for Mougasa and Soumare families, many of whom died in an apartment block fire in March 2007.

Graffiti artist Mohammed Ali, from the UK works alongside the local Bronx community to create a tribute to the family.
