With all due respect, if you haven't looked at Hosni's blog, other than today, you really should before writing it off or just saying "hit the delete button." Go ahead... take a look at his blog if you think it's innocent! http://hkbraveheart.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Most of his blog entries are written in Arabic, so you won't be able to read them, but there's absolutely no mistaking that Hosni is antisemitic. Also, you can learn all you want about ISIS and the caliphate on his blog. AGAIN, I SAY it's fine for HOSNI to have his opinion and his blog. But the QUAD-list is NOT the proper forum for his venomous propaganda (and I'm not even Jewish.) Some of you say "just ignore or hit the delete button." That is not the point. I am totally fine with political discussions and controversial topics, and have NO trouble finding the delete button. However, his blogs are NOT related to quads in any way, and furthermore they're NOT discussions. He sends us his propaganda and then disappears. I've written to Hosni directly, but he never replies. "What harm can come from his posts?", you ask? Well, again, I say look at his blog and tell me if you are OK being associated with his rhetoric. I am not, and if it doesn't stop I'll be unsubscribing. Lastly, here's what I wrote way back in March: Sorry, but this isn't the forum for this type of 'blog.' I'm not the moderator of this list, but I request these blog emails be stopped. Thank you, Don.

This recent posting, I did not see as spam, or political agenda. I saw it as a pseudo promotion for motivation in doing better or a better job. I'm sure our Host Jim may have comments as well, but I can't speak for Jim Lubin, or any one else. Perhaps a direct email to Jim, may resolve your immediate question. Lastly, I don't know the person, only his addy. I wish you well. Best Wishes In a message dated 9/29/2014 12:30:39 P.M.
