Being a Libyan Blogger ,my dear friend Khadijateri ;I am ashamed of the comments that were posted on your blog,and am sorry.
Shame on you dear Libyan Bloggers !
I thank Happymoi for the guts in not following most Libyan Bloggers like a herd of sheep .We supposedly want freedom of speech and when getting it we refuse to accept what is evident and live in self denial,or one could call it the coward's way out! This fellow readers and bloggers is what keeps us from ever emancipating or having trust and self confidence in ourselves. Being extremely bias to anything that comes our way and not accepting different opinionated views is a sign of weakness.
I have known Khadijateri for a couple of years before we actually became good friends and I must admit that she is even more Libyan and Muslim than many Libyans,myself included!
Why do we consider her a foreigner when she criticizes our beloved Libya or its people ?Our we not forgetting that her children are Libyans and so is her husband to say the least???
I have lived abroad in the west for many years and have always criticized what I observed which wasn’t to my liking and and still do so till this day.This does not make me a lesser person or of what I stand for nor does it in any way shape or form hinder my love for the west or any culture while still respecting them at the same time.
If we are to emancipate as a people we have to accept criticism to improve on what and where we can. But taking it out on a decent ,down to earth ,kind, loving woman who encouraged us all to start blogging is outrageously disgusting and in poor taste!
Our people are dirty and so are our streets . They don’t wash everyday and stink. I am in constant contact with university students and trainees in my own center,so I know what Im talking about.We dump everywhere and then blame our government to clean after us.
I always when lecturing or teaching try to emphasise the will of a people to love ones country is in caring and keeping it trash free. We lack patriotic values. We are not there by a long shot but would be if we concentrated more on improving our country and people by awareness programmes. If the literate Bloggers think and behave as they did with KT what expectations are we to expect from the illiterate??
Thanks dear.
ReplyDeletehello Luna
ReplyDeleteI kept away from commenting on K Teri's blog because of the trash that are commenting there (of course I meant some people) I feel that Libyans have the right to defend themselves and their country but in a civilised way but some have behaved really bad and made matters even worse for the rest of Libyans by attacking Khadija personally and using foul language and threats, how shameful!
I myself got to know Khadija Teri through her blog for over 3 years now and I find her critisism of anything wrong in Libya is brave, especially when it comes to cleanliness and hygine in hospitals, beaches.... etc
I think many Libyans can not understand why K Teri generalises when she critisises Libya and take it personally, through her blog in the past few years I can tell that she does love Libya and its people and I know when she says something like Libyans are dirty for example, I know she does not mean everyone, she is practically Libyan after all but many others do not know that and feel she is attacking them.
K Teri has the right to write what ever she feels or likes and as we know she would expect people to respond, if I have any crisism and I hope K Teri does not get offended as I do have a lot of respect for her, is that perhaps she should not generalise and instead say some or even most Libyans than just Libyans.
I myself have not been to Libya for a very long time and the Libya I remember is different from Libya now, I do hear and read horror stories about how dirty it has become and perhaps a shocking post like Teri's would lead to something good!
sister Khadija I am just saying what I feel and does not mean anything, take it as a comment from an older brother :o)
Shame on you dear Libyan Bloggers !
ReplyDeleteThank God, I am not a blogger, because honestly the Libyan Bloggers have no sense what is blogging about, because it always ignores the readers "The Public", who read their blogs.
What an attarctive title, Kick ass what a civilized word? instead of bringing technology and science from Europe and US.
