She isn't Botoxed.

I've seen it in Jordan at the Jordan Design and Trade Centre (QN's foundation's shop) and in five-star hotel gift shops. It runs around JD75, as I recall. It is primarily a picture book, so there's not much to read. And I don't know whether it raised much money for his foundation. It seemed more...

It was established after his death.

The case could be made that, if more leaders had joined P. Hassan back when he first began advocating interfaith dialogue, 9/11 and many of the other distressing events of these times might've been prevented. It is almost always easier and more effective to prevent disaster than to try to...

Is the book entitled The Missing Peace: The Inside Story of the Fight for Middle East Peace? :confused: It's been released for over a year in my country. In fact, it's already out in paperback.

Did the U.S. Encourage Hassan's Ouster? The Wall Street Journal (Europe) By David Wurmser January 25, 1999 One might question the wisdom of the Clinton administration's ongoing attempts to secure Yasser Arafat a Palestinian state in the territory occupied by Israel after the 1967 war. But any...

Me, too. In a post 9/11 world, interfaith dialogue has become huge, but P. Hassan has been involved with it, advocating it for decades. He was far ahead of his time.

Wow. . .I need to find some hip, new friends in their 90s! :D This is true. And sometimes there is just an inexplicable meeting of the spirits, as though destiny or fate had a hand. I like P. Hassan's comment. ;) It must be difficult for her at times, as though she is neither fish nor fowl.

But, honestly, I don't know how old you are, but age and maturational differences begin to close at a certain age, so I think this has much more to do with experiential differences than age per se. If QR wants it to be a big deal, then surely it will be, but most adults can fairly easily bridge...

I think, with all due respect, too much is made of this age thing. At some point in one's late 20s or 30s, when one becomes a full adult, a 20- or 30-year age difference ceases to be the big deal it might've been back when one person was 15 and the other was 40. QR is in her mid 30s now; KA is...

:D Some people are very thin skinned, can dish it out by the bucketful but not take it by the spoonful (especially when the photographic evidence flies in the face of their point of view). :rolleyes:

P. Badiya and Edward Blair have known each other for a number of years. I believe they met in London, where they now live.

Yes, that's him.

Trust me, she hasn't done much about this. :(

But P. Hassan was looking out for Jordanian interests when he said those things about G. Bush (if that's what you're referring to). At the moment, there are many who criticize KA for selling out to the West too much. Indeed, he is almost completely economically dependent upon the West. So I...

No and no. :mad: KA won't even allow P. Hassan to serve as regent in his absence. I think KA is not secure enough in his role to invite the experienced, proven, seasoned P. Hassan to work with him in a meaningful way. It would only highlight to the world his own shortcomings and stimulate...

Yup. :( It seems he was an indecisive sort. :eek:

No? Why is that?! :confused:

They have one daughter, P. Aisha, who's about three or four years old.

I have a couple times. Let's just put it this way. . .many of her photos are retouched. ;)

No, it wasn't. And, yes, people did what they felt they needed to do to advance their own positions. This has been fairly well documented on this forum and others. I don't really want to have to explain it all again, but read some of the thread histories. This is a very old discussion by now for...

This is almost surely the case. For a number of reasons, KA and QR lack credibility with many religious leaders. This is my belief, too. There are at least two overarching issues here. One is changing the hearts and minds of the people, which almost certainly must involve professionally...

Sean, thank you!!! I have missed your voice on the JRF threads. :) And I concur with your comments about morality. Sometimes the tone on this forum is awfully high handed.

According to UN estimates, globally there are approximately 5000 "honor" killings per annum. Accurate statistics are difficult to come by, however, since many of them are disguised as suicides or unreported. Somewhere between 800 and 900 of them occur in Pakistan, so it has the highest number...

Sorry, this is an extremely complex issue, and I don't have time to train you, Reina. But there are established methods of changing hearts and minds, and they have to do with how information and beliefs are disseminated (usually originating with just a few thought leaders) and capitalizing on...
