Another trip down to the Balad recently yeiled several random shots of our precious downtown region.
Originally, the Grand Husseini Mosque was an ancient mosque built by Omar ibn Al-Khattab (ra) in 640 AD, only a few years after the Islamic conquest took control of the region under his command as the second Caliph of the empire. It was rebuilt by HM King Abdullah the first in 1924.

Oh, those stairs that link downtown with Jabal Amman! They are quite spooky at night…

Hello, my name is Lydia Sizer and I am working on a thesis through Brown University in the United States looking at blogs. I am looking at how blogs affect mutual understanding among people of different ethnic backgrounds and I was wondering if you would be willing to take a survey I have prepared for my research. This research would give you a voice in determining whether blogs would be useful in aiding global security. If you are interested, don’t hesitate to email me at Lydia_Sizer@brown.edu. Thank you so much for your time. For convenience, please enter “thesis survey” as the subject of your email as I will not know who is writing to me. Thanks again!
