We are all the same. We all came from this earth...

Sheikh Zubair (didn't you know Shakespear was an Arab ) even said in one of his plays (Shylock?)...

If you feather us, will we not bleed....

We all will bleed RED... When an Iraqi mother loses her child, she will cry... When an American mother loses her child, she will cry...

When we are all babies, we all see angels and are pure....

Shame on those who raise the babies to become Mugabes, Bushes, Hitlers, Ben Gurions, Ho Chi Mens, etc... Shame shame shame!

In the late 90s, we had a song called Arab Dream (Helm al Arabi), a pan Arab song grouping all kinds of Arabs singers for peace and equaliy amongst ourselves. Kinda like Live Aid.... We now need another Live Aid... A la 2006

You have to read between the lines sometimes. The political jibes and jokes all refer to the situation at the time when they were written. Many of them were openly challenging to the autocratic monarchy and were almost like cries and encouragement to the underground movements who circulated amongst the artists and creatives of the period.

Some of the more political plays can be hard going (Julius Caesar, Coriolanus) but the comedies were delights and highlighted some of the more obvious inequalities in Middle Ages British society.
