Subject: Hajj Sacrifice meat …
Dear Mr. President,
As a devout Muslim, I have been to Hajj in Saudi Arabia. As an expert on Islam, I am aware of all the religious duties of Muslims. As a fighter for Human Rights, I know very well that rights of an individual are more than their right to vote or freedom to wear what they desire. It is also a God given right to have food on their table without constantly worrying about where the next meal is coming from.
As a Human Rights activist, I do my part to encourage awareness that millions of pounds of meat go to waste under incompetent hands. For the past two years, I have been doing everything in my power to induce the Embassy of Saudi Arabia to give an accounting of the disposition of the Hajj meat that millions of Hajji sacrifice on the day of Eid al-Adha ,"Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid”.
A brief history of this date: Prophet Abraham (PBH) received a sheep, instead of Ishmael his youngest son, to sacrifice to Allah (SVT). From that day over 3500 years ago and particularly in the time of Prophet Mohammad, we have been commanded to give away the meat of Hajj. Wasting is a forbidden act. In the time of Prophet, people would salt meat and placed it in special animal skin sacks to take back to their tribes during the months of travel. Since the beginning of Al Saud’s reign, this meat has been left to rot after Hajj. According to my sources, in the last decade, due to international pressure, meat is now being frozen and sold.
In March of 2010, the Saudi government finally allowed me a meeting with Dr. Saud Al Sati, Minister Plenipotentiary, Embassy of Saudi Arabia, Washington D.C. I insisted to know what happens to the meat they gather during Hajj. This is not just a few pounds of meat but MILLIONS of pounds that could be given to starving nations such as Afghanistan. Dr. Al Sati, told me in person that the Saudi Government does not put everything about the donations on their WebPages but he quickly sent me the attached information with highlights in red.
The question is, what becomes of the surplus meat after Hajj?
Unless your administration thinks it is not important that children in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Africa, and other countries where teens are so poor that for a promise of 100 dollars they become suicide bombers,
You are one of the few people in the world who can persuasively convey this message to King Abdullah.
For the sake of peace and for the people of Afghanistan, US troop and coalition forces, people must be fed. A hungry child sees a soldier as the reason for disparity. In Islam we are forbidden to hurt the hand feeding us.
Thank you for your time.
Yours Sincerely,
Ghazal Omid

For nearly ten years now, we have been dealing with the aftermath of 911. As a devout Muslim, I am truly ashamed of those who carried out such a heinous act. Overnight, they turned Islam, a peaceful religion, into a religion wrongly perceived as bloody and unfathomable. That perception still continues to echo throughout the world.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

An open letter to Saudi King Abdullah from a devout Muslim Woman, Ghazal Omid, on the issue
of women’s rights in Saudi Arabia.
Your Majesty King Abdullah, I am writing to you as part of my Islamic duty to urge you to do the
right thing by women in your country.
I am sure you are up-to-date about the situation of women in your country in recent months.
Particularly, those women who try to drive seem to so often end up in prison for a few
hours or, in the case of Manal Al-Sharief, for a few days. In many interviews with Western
media during the past few years you have expressed your desire to allow women to step
into the 21st Century. Your country seems to lag a great deal behind when it comes to
personal freedom, especially in basic rights and freedom for women.
I am hoping when you read this letter you will be reminded that you are not just a King of Saudi
but also King of the Holiest sites and country among Islamic countries. Freeing women In
Saudi Arabia from barbaric rules erroneously portrayed as rules of Islam is not just a
political issue but also an Islamic issue. In the past decade, Islam has become more
politicized than any other issue. What happens in your country is not merely a local
problem. It becomes an Islamic problem and, therefore, a global one. Your country’s rules
step on rights Islam has granted to women. Politics of your country treats habitual and
traditional rules of your Arabic culture as if they are part of Islam; from covering face and
hands to not allowing women to drive, to name a few. In reality, you and I know these are
traditions of your county and have nothing to do with Islam.
At this point, you might suggest that I take a look at my own country, Iran, and mind my own
business, as you sort of hinted to President Obama in the inserted New Yorker article
linked below. King Abullah, I am not just a woman and freedom fighter who fought for a
2. woman from your country who was raped. Instead of being embraced in her country, the
rules were in favor of her fourteen rapists. Before my NGO joined the intervention, she was
about to be lashed 200 times and imprisoned for a additional three to six months.
More than anything, although not covered I am a devout Muslim woman. I am aware of my
personal sins but when it comes to Islam, I do the right thing by others and speak up when
I know I must. The behavior your countrymen pursue against women is very similar to the
behavior of Arab men of the Saudi Peninsula before Islam when a father or husband would
come home from a journey and bury alive an unwanted baby girl or consider it his right to
rape and kill a wife or any unprotected woman. This isn’t Islam. Not allowing women to
drive would have been considered a sin if Prophet Mohammad PBH were alive today!
What happens today in Saudi would be equal to not allowing women to ride their horse or
camel in 1400 years ago.
The House of God in Mecca is located in the heart of your country. Medina, among the holiest
places on earth is also located in your country. It is not just the politics of your country that
I am worried about. For example, your friendship and concern for a deposed brutal dictator;
stating in the New Yorker article that you are willing to donate the wealth of Muslim nations
and your own people, many of whom suffer greatly, to give sanctuary and afford a
comfortable life for a brutal man, listed by Forbes magazine as among the 100 wealthiest
men in the world, is appalling. There are hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world
in need but your Majesty has not made a single inquiry about them. I can show you e-mails
exchanged with your Embassy staff and ministers in DC documenting how many times I
made inquiry about Hajj meat and where and when it was distributed. I still don’t have a
proper answer. I have only been told it is given to the poor. I want to ensure a system is in
place so the meat can go to Afghanistan. Regrettably, you may not be aware that your staff
seems to be too busy with politics to attend to humanitarian matters.
You also chose to send troops to Bahrain, a country that brutally suppresses its uprising, shooting
innocents in broad day light, spreading an ignoble reputation for brutality and suffering far
beyond its borders.
Your Majesty, I am here to plead with you and remind you of your moral and Islamic responsibility
and the ability of a great leader to eradicate the inequalities between men and women in
your country. You can bring down the walls of ignorance if you so choose. You can
become a revolutionary leader initiating real change in your country; starting by granting
rights to those who have been discriminated against the most. Or, you can let the people
bring the walls down and join history with an unenviable reputation.
I have visited your country, and your Embassy in Washington, DC and I must say, although the
interior and exterior of your Embassy showcases the wealth of your country, I have little
good to say about respect for women in your country. I hope you take this observation with
an open heart that if there is a revolution in your country it will come from those who suffer
the most.
I end this open letter with a proverb from Persian Poet SAADI.
“A man is not dead because he passes to the next life. He is dead when people don’t mention his
name with dignity and regards.”
Yours sincerely,
Ghazal Omid
