  • A doc featuring the story of Faraj Darwish was made by Jordanian filmmaker, Sandra Madi - it's called FULL BLOOM, details here http://www.meetingpoints.org/artists.aspx?id=24 3 years ago

  • If more people had Faraj's courage Israel would not exist as a Zionist state and occupier of a land that was once shared and flourished with people from all three book religions of the world. Muslims were the most "tolerant" of the Jews. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived side by side and in harmony while Europe was busy executing them. We need more courage and the Arabs should side with their brothers and sisters and put their money towards education, research, order and organization, culture and our heritage and flourish like it deserves to flourish. We need to embrace our identity and be more dignified where our priorities lie and more proud of our rich history and civilization and our merciful and peaceful religion which is so abused by the people who fight and kill in its name. shamefull. Culture, education, democracy and loyalty are crucial. We need to fight corruption in our countries and give rights to our fellow brothers and sisters. That is how illegal states like Israel who use agression and injustice to gain its existence would dissappear in the Middle East for good. 3 years ago
