Syrian psychologist Mrs. Wafa Sultan has her views which are making her enemies and deaththreats she mentions :

Opinion of Mrs. Wafa Sultan, voicing her opinion (right or wrong is not my intention, I take no side in this discussion, even though I can easily understand the views of the religous Moslem clerics since I hold by the Jewish Law of Torah, and I can appreciate the opinins of the secular Moslems of which are hundreds of millions worldwide too.)

She is a psychologist and here she can be heard on Al Jezeera speaking to her Arab brethren.

Are you smoking with that  dirty, smelly, grainy, putrid hose again?

Try out some of these :

I reccomend the 2 Syrian type hoses, and the cheap 100% plastic and PVC 100% ugly but they are truly 100% with no plastic taste at all, washable that will never leave a bad taste in your mouth!

. I have a few which I regularly use. The hose is medium size and very, very flexible.

Hookah Club

So you bought a 200 gram can of that sheesha you smoked at the local hookah lounge, and found after one smoke that you don’t care for it. You might have 185 gams left.
Or maybe you are going on summer vacation and you DO love that sheesha brand, but you have you’re tennis racket, balls, books, clothes and a whole supply of sheesha stash left over. You’ll come back in September but can’t leave anything in the university dormitory.

Here’s an idea for you and friends at anytime of the year.
You can make a local hookah club, or university club. Upload the club online and each person who wants to get rid of some sheesha type, or a few clay tobacco heads, or bought theirself that “special dream hookah,” can trade or sell for something else.

Maybe your best friend said that “Abu Shukrey” sheesha ” is the best premium sisha on the market”, as all companies say about every shisha brand they sell. You found out that “Abu Shukrey” is actually an “Abu Ali” sheesha .

I’ve mentioned “Abu Ali” stories a few times. Arabic is one of the richest languages in the world! Okay, with the advent of T.V. and multi-modern media, so is the “American” language with its idioms being born with each season’s hit Television program.
I was born and lived in America until age 17. 1970 moved.
There are 37 years of slang I’ve passed on.
In Arabic the idiom “Abu Ali” is “Father of Ali”, or the “first born son of Ali”, and 497 other meanings!

Also its what’s called “stop pulling my leg”, or “don’t bull shi me”. A grandiose , blatant hashish dream. The Arabs also speak in exageration but THEY know that.
If Achmad tells Feiysal that he will deliver his package before lunch time, Feiysal knows that he’ll see the package in 4 days time maximum! Not bad. We take them literally to their word.

The MiddleEast mentality is really more than the Middle East, of course .The North African countries (like Darfur), Iran, Khazakhstan, Cyprus, Greece, Israel,Turkey, Afghanistahn, Georgia, the former south-east Soviet Republics, and more.
So we are not blaming the Arabs here, who gave us mathmatics, Spain! and added a gigantic bulk of knowledge to the Western World’s culture as fearless sea fearing travelers to the known world, and emmancipated many of the African people on the continent. (They were dragged away in chains but let’s blame “the Whitey’s ” for that.) I am not white by the way.

There actually are many local shisha clubs, born out of hookah lounge smokers, students at a particular school ,university, or local community.

(1) So don’t trash your stash, trade with your hommies.
Barter that older hookah for sheesha, or (2) give it to the poor at “Goodwill” ,”Salvation Army”, or “Bnai Brit”!

And that gives me an even better idea!!
(3) Do they have “Cake Walks” at your Church, or “Best Lokshun Kugel” contests at the local synogog? (I can’t spell Greek).
Why not have a bring your own sheesha party at your place of worship ? I’m not being sacriligious, but its a better idea.

Anyone with the money can buy wheat, eggs,sugar,yeast and milk to bake a cake or noodles for the lukshun kugel.(Don’t forget the onions Ima).
Its not so easy to buy shisha, and its for sure a bit more expensive.
So have that “sheesha barter-trade night”.

(4)You can make a “bring your own shisha” party at the local gym .Each person will donate at least a 50 gram closed pack to a common worthy cause .

(5) Or promote Herbal non tobacco, non nicotine, no tar Herbal smoking sheesha.

“Black Label” brand, “Soex” brand, or made at home herbal!!
It will be healthy and a big hit .

“Pipe Dreams”

A pipe dream:
A perfectly clear clay tobacco-shisha bowl? Not yet invented (except for the semi clear acrylic bowls which cost a big $ bundle and break easily too).

So, how to tell if you smoked all the shisha in the bowl?
I guess its up to experience.

1) how much did you pack?
What is usually for you a half-hours smoke? 40 minutes went buy and your tongue is feeling fuzzy-you are long ago finished and if you have a good burning coal, you are getting plain heat and ashes taste.
2)did you pack loosly or too tight?

If tight it will burn for sure, mostly at the bottom.

3)type of shisha being smoked.

Al-Fakher, Al-Ouns ,Al-Qemah,Roman,Fumari,Afzal are loooong ongoing good smokes.
15 grams lightly packed of Al Fakher,Al-Ouns,Al-Qemah,Roman will approximately smoke 45-60 minutes.
The same ammount of Al-Waha, Al-Sultan, El-Nakhla,El-Basha
(same company) will smoke 20-30 minutes lightly packed.
If you have been going on longer, its a burn!
These are just a few hints.

4) when you’ve finished smoking EACH time look at what is left over.
If its ash, then next time don’t smoke that gram ammount too long. Or get a bigger bowl.
The gigantic “party bowl” which I mainly use is big enough for 30-35 grams, and since its bad to add shisha up to the top where it touches the foil and will burn, I still have room left over.
http://www.smoking-hookah.com/Products/Accessories/Giant-party-clay-bowl.asp?agent_camp=10540001

I always check the remains of any bowl to see if its over burnt. There should be left a bit of lightly cooked shisha at the bottom remaining.Throw it out!

With so many shisha brands out there herbal and regular, each company brand has its own burning time.
It depends mainly on how much glycerine is in the mixture.
You’ll find Nakhal is a dryer brand. The premium brands are dripping and smell so good even before you put them in the bowl!

Where do you buy a hookah and tobacco?

Some of us buy, if they have the luxury to be near an “Ethnic store” their hookahs and tobacco mu’assel there from store owners they know and come back to with faulty hookahs or stale tobacco shisha.
The variety is far from as large and varied as theonline stores, but its maybe a bit cheaper, and maybe close by.
If not, you can go on the www/searchengine , write in “hookah” and you’ve got the gigantic listing of pages of many shisha companies online.
No wonder almost all the companies names start with the word “Hookah”
Hookah Master.com
HookahCompany.com,Hookah4Less.com
Smoking-Hookah.com (vive’ la differance’)
HookahshishaCentral.com
Fumari(whata).com
Hookah Hub. com
Hukah Mafeesh.com
Gefilteh-Fish.com (a “small” fish joke.)
EastCoastHookah.com (Authentic company)
WestcoastHookah.com (Authentic company)
TheSouthWillRiseAgainHookah.com (sorry, its Friday)
NorthernLightsHookah.com(its still Friday)

Let me say right here :
in Alaska,the Arctic Circle,Greenland, and Hibbing or Duluth Minnesota you should not smoke your hookah at the beach.Ever.
In the winter you will have a coooool cold smoke, but it will freeze in 4 minutes or less.

In the summer the mosquitos of the north are as big as fruit bats and wombies sometimes. They must be related to zombies too, since a bite from them and they draw a lot of blood,”blood bro”.
