Din bhal ta’ Dalli ” They wanted me (politically) dead”. Min huma “they”?

“negative/no apostrophe” ?

It’s easier to simpy remember that ma’ is an abbreviation of mieghu/maghha, hence the apostrophe.

[Daphne – Whatever works for you, Kevin. Conspiracy theorists tend to prefer the more complicated mnemonics. I go for the simple ones.]

Why do you think a Christian Church was attacked in Bagdad yesterday?

Why do you think it is illegal to celebrate mass in Saudi Arabia?

Why do you think some Muslim company managers don’t approve the Christmas holidays to their Filippino workers?

Suspecting that Muslims can ‘simply’ break some marble crosses during the night in a cemetery remains a plausible theory.

[Daphne – Sigh. You make me despair with this Muslim/Christian business, so please let’s not bring the whole thing up again. Right, let’s see. 1. Christians are outsiders in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Therefore they get treated like outsiders and sometimes, their symbols and places of worship are attacked, with varying degrees of violence depending on the rule of law in that particular country. 2. In Malta, it is Muslims who are outsiders and it is Muslims who are, consequently, attacked. Because the rule of law is different in Malta to Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the types of attacks are different. e.g. hysteria because Muslims are seen praying on the Sliema promenade. Instead of burning the mosque, Maltese anti-Muslim right-wingers burned the homes of those who, like me, object to their views and attitudes. 3. Muslim company managers might not authorise holiday leave at Christmas for the same reason that Muslim employees are not given authorised leave of absence at Ramadan in Malta, unless they use their holiday leave. One of my sons works in Israel. He has to use his holiday leave to come home for Christmas. Not having been raised a bigot, he takes this for granted, having enjoyed the benefits instead of the rather long Jewish holiday in September. 4. No, I do not think creatures without brains, called Muslims, would bother climbing over a cemetery wall to vandalise Christian graves. That is the sort of thing a bored Maltese teenager would do. As in fact they did.]

[Daphne – Ah yes, but Mario Galea’s driver had a motive for covering up an accident. What possible motive could there be for vandalising a headstone in that manner? Somebody who didn’t get his commission! Honestly.]

“Terrimot”, my foot. Same old evil methods- hate and more hate towards the Nationalists in government.

I sincerely hope the PN voters next election go out and vote and don’t stay home as in 2008..

Ma kellekx ghalfejn toqmos, sewwi l-izball u suq ha mmorru! Jien in-naqra Malti li naf, fejn inkun naf, nghidlek, fejn ma nafx: “ma nafx” .

U tghid mhux se nikteb l-Ingliz li tikteb int! Per ezempju ‘Purgery’ hsibtha tajba. Nikbru u nitghalmu: jien hafna minn ghandek u int naqra minn ghandi. Tajjeb hekk?

Regarding the vandalism on the grave of Dr Gonzi’s father, all I can say is that it could be anyone. Some two years ago during Christmas two cemeteries (Safi and Kirkop) were vandalised, and ‘common sense’ pointed its fingers at the Muslim ‘illegal’ immigrants living at the camp in the nearby Karwija camp.

[Daphne – Commonsense did nothing of the sort. It was blind prejudice and horrible bias of the sort taught at Tal-Muzew in the past which led to that kind of sentiment. Why would anybody desecrate Christian graves just because they are Muslim? My commonsense told me it was bored teenagers from some village, and I was right. Respect for the resting-places of the dead crosses all religions of the book.]

After some days the police found that the culprits were two young men from Qrendi. May the police catch the perpetrator/s of this cruel act which deeply hurt the Gonzi family.
