Rania vs Asma

So Queen Rania is on Twitter (@queenrania). She’s been flying around in her husband’s helicopter, meeting the Pope, talking about changing the world. But Syria isn’t far behind.

First Lady Asma Al-Assad may not be on Twitter, but she’s on Facebook. While her southern counterpart has been having fun doing acrobatics in helicopters and calling her husband a “real life action hero” (tell him to put the Playstation down then), Asma has been doing charity work.

She’s just launched the Massar-E project, which helps disadvantaged children learn about technology.

We know which of the two can be seen wondering around their city without hundreds of bodyguards.

I know Rania has just singed up for Twitter so maybe it’s not a fair comparison – but if numbers mean anything, Asma has 9000 fans, Rania has 4000.

Since they are both so web savvy I wonder if they will read this while Googling their names?
If so I hope they check out my very soon to be updated web-site of images from both Syria and Jordan

It would be a bit cynical of the First lady to have an “official” fan club on a network so infested with Israeli spies and propaganda that they had to close it down for other Syrians, no?

Sasa,
There is no doubt that Asma is more beautiful than Rania, Then what do you expect , she is from Homs,

I don’t know why but I assumed you had a liking towards Sit Rania but alas,I’m comforted with the though that you don’t (at least not that much)

When people call her “your majesty” it makes my stomach churn,along with inducing a cringe like no other…

Majesty kamen….

I’ll hold my tongue when it comes to what I think about her huband,the “Heshemite King”

becuase Queen Rania were classified as the FoURTH most beautiful women IN THE WORLD and
ranked the most beautiful ten women from royal familiesin the world and
Queen Rania the most elegant queen of the world
Queen Rania received is second most beautiful queen in the world after Grace Kelly but really just look at the Pictures in google you will see that her majesty is beautiful

but sure i’m not saying that the first lady asmaa is not beautiful but Queen rania is natural and beautiful and every body love her too but you have some stupid comments about Queen rania because you are jelous of HER !!!
and she do also charity work and her charity work is known around the world such as
the schools she open it for alot of children in jordan and

but really you shouldn’t say that about her
cause queen rania and the first lady are beautiful and every one knows that

Asma al-Assad and Queen Rania .. more women in the world elegance in a referendum …

and they are not jelous of each other so why did you say that Uncivilized comments
so every one had an opinion and I respect it !! but with out saying Curse words !! cause we are adults and we should respect each other

Ramadan’s Arab Awakening

A mangled version of this review appeared in the Independent. What is happening in the Middle East? Tariq Ramadan, one of the foremost Muslim intellectuals, calls the contemporary events ‘uprisings’, more concrete and permanent in their effect than ‘revolts’ but still short of thoroughgoing ‘revolutions’. So far, Tunisia is the only clear democratising succe […]

Not Writing About Syria

I haven’t been writing about Syria at my previous pace. The time is not right. This is a time for Syrian internet activists, those still surviving, to send us their videos. It’s a time for gathering evidence – although no more evidence is needed. It’s a time for reporters to write, for committed foreign journalists […]

Sectarianism and Honesty

This was published in the excellent Ceasefire magazine. Ba‘athism began as a conscious attempt to supercede the sectarian and regional divisions which plague the Arab world. That’s why many of its early ideologues were Christians or members of other minority groups. The Ba‘athist slogan umma arabiya wahida zat risala khalida – One Arab Nation Bearing […]

March in Support of Proportional Representation

I got an email about a planned march in support of proportional representation (PR), which will take place in Beirut on May 13. In a way, conditions are ripe these days for Lebanese civil society groups to push their agenda for electoral reform because: (a) the issue is front and center again, and (b) because […]

Satire & the Syrian Revolution

As it so happens, there are other things one can do with a camera phone during a revolution besides filming gun battles. I recently arrived late to a very good party, the party of Jiim Siin’s brilliant and wickedly satirical monologues about the Syrian uprising. Recorded on an iPhone by an anonymous Syrian fellow living […]
