Musings of a cynical optimist
After the third mass shawerma poisoning within the last year, the government has decided to banish the greasy treat from the country’s restaurants. This ban will last until they figure out how to keep it safe.

Young enough to think he can make a difference
Old enough to know that he should probably know better.
Rich enough to afford the time
Poor enough to feel the need to get involved.
Optimistic enough to feel that killing a mosquito will make a difference
Realistic enough to know that it won't
He writes this blog to say what many people are thinking and saying, but don't bother to write down.
Maybe people think that much of it is so obvious, that it wouldn't add much to document.
I hope that it will help to understand what many people in Jordan feel inside, in case anybody cares.

now I could make a guess that our PM doesnt own a shawerma business
Oh no! what is Jordan w/o shawerma? They better not touch falafel and mansaf...
I'm getting "300" men together and we're going to defend Shawerma Reem on the 2nd Circle!
Ammanites! Prepare for glory!
I've just verified that the ban is only on chicken shawerma.
good, Shawerma Reem (i.e. real shawerma) is all safe.
alhamdullilah!
This is becoming an endemic problem, good thinking on the part of the government, there has to be some kind of a mechanism dealing with the problem of uncooked and semi cooked chicken. And for those that thought it is hygiene problem, it isn't.
Tadween: I wouldn't eat the PM's shawerma! He can't be a better mua'lem shawerma than a politician!
Kinzi: I am worried about your eating habits.
mmm: Good luck. Don't forget the napkins.
Arrabi: You eat red meat Shawerma? I salute your courage!
Hatem: Salmonela is a hygiene problem, exasperated by poor cooking.
Khalaf you just cracked me up with your comments about the PM and his ability as a shawerma mua"lem and his credentials as a PM. That was veru sinster sarcasm from you!
Hi everyone, I tried to do a story about the water poisoning for National Public Radio in the United States, but it was a little too local. Still, I managed to do something about Jordan's water problems:

Thanks for raising these issues -

Hi everyone, I will be in Irbid (University) at the end of August. Nobody talks about water problem in Irbid.
