* we do not own the pictures used in this Magazine
The Muse club of English department is a mirror of the different activities that take place in our department, since day one . It presents a magazine which is an opened window for the students, giving them the opportunity to reveal clearly their own ideas . Under the supervision of a great teachers the students suggestions will be taken in consideration .
The new magazine muse whose motto falls in two main sections ,the first one means a Godess of inspiration ,and the second one means Focus deeply ,but what concerns us is the first phase of the phrase ,because our main consern is the litterary competence ,taughts ,abilities of writting ,feelings ,talents of the students ,unlike the previews one whose interest was mainly and only the members of the magazine ,and this change include also the naming « From MALACA ENGLISH to MUSE ENGLISH CLUB » .
Our truly hopes are that our dear students of the english departement take this magazine « MUSE » as a golden opportunity to expresse their selvs ,and to improve their reading and writting skills through their literary production as well as to enrich their knowldge ,not nessesery in high level language but just be your selves .

Since a long time I’ve been wondering why do we always stick political issues on religions? Why do we always say Jews and not Israelis? Why do we say Christians and not capital-ists? The time has come for us to realize that it’s our fault not that of religions. Religions have nothing to do with all those political conflicts between people from different cultural backgrounds. So, here again religious diversity itself has been pointed out as a problem; this is why a lot of world’s leaders tried to find solutions to solve it.Religion for most of us is an essential part of one’s identity; it can be compared to a pillar that keeps a building from falling down. It is what makes a human group specifically unique and different from any other human group. Civiliza-tions were built through the basis of those cultural belong-ings: religion, language, and race…etc. In today’s world, media plays an important role in reflecting religions. Islam for instance is often depicted by so many newspapers and TV channels as a religion of obscurantism and carnage, a religion of no liberty. On the other hand it is indisput-able that Muslims don’t see Islam in the way media tend to describe it. Therefore, media is often blamed for making world’s truths and events unintelligible for people. It not only misguides people but it also creates fears and shapes lack of trust and respect between people from different religious backgrounds. Islamic history proved the existence of specific architecture of Islamic buildings, Islamic literature and calligraphy, but not violence being committed for the sake of religion. Islam as well as any other religion is compat-ible with freedom, democracy and human’s rights, so why are so many bloodsheds and acts of violence labeled under the theme “religion”? “Globalization” is a phenomenon that is happening at high rate today. Indeed it’s overwhelming cultures world over. Muslim culture for example feels overwhelmed as well as marginalized by the fast changes occurring around it. Put aside the modernity of Western World, the remainder of the world feels an increasing frustration that often leads its men to the worst extremities. Within few decades, men have realized technological achievements of modernity that were not to be achieved in less than centuries at the time of our ancestors. Some of the main features of these accelerated developments lie in the new absence of borders between countries. Communicating is global, a quantity of informa-tion flows in the most rapid and easy way possible from one part of the world to another. Ways of living are being unified, people are accessing to media and an increasing amount of information. This unity of living often leads some people to the need of expressing their individualism and uniqueness as a way of fighting an overwhelming and fast unification that threatens their cultures and religious backgrounds. For; every step toward Western modernity means a denial of their identity and cultural history.
MANEL HAROUCHE
The marginalization they feel to be victims of, by a strong Western world that goes without caring about differences of cultures, make them embrace the worst ways of expressing their identity, such as public attacks.Today, with the coexistence of several religions and cultures, so people with different believes can either enter an irre-versible Western modernity, making it take the greatest part of their identity, and thus occult the richness of their original cultures. Or they can either turn their back on modernity. Either ways, will undoubtedly lead to an impoverishment of the richness of global human cultures. The reason why there should not be any implied condition to access modernity and global well-being. Cultural diversity is a priceless gift for humanity, this prin-ciple is applied to religions. For they should be preserved via cultural exchange, for instance Arabs had invented the astrolabe and western world improved it later; this is a form of cultural exchange that took part to a continual interaction between people with different religious and cultural beliefs. Cultural exchange is more likely to protect that interaction in today’s world than ever before. It will enhance the values of all religions; those of respect, forgiveness, tolerance and love. And thus bring believers and non-believers to one pro-spective future that will both unify them and preserve their differences peacefully. This intercultural dialogue is likely to settle the upheaval of violence as well as cultural conflicts that are destroying people’s history and keeping them from moving toward a global harmony. A global harmony that will respect and protect people’s differences and unique-ness. A global harmony that will both embrace globaliza-tion and protect individual specificity and diversity. This interfaith dialogue requires that people admit that their faiths don’t hold all the truth, but rather that a part of truth exists in every single belief. In other terms, no one can be completely right or completely wrong. We are to complete each other in order to achieve a global tolerance that will lead humanity to a sustainable harmony. A renewal of our view toward our fellows is necessary for such a dialogue to be successful, via a borderless acceptance of differences and a global respect of human rights. Intercultural dialogue is to be achieved via travelling, meeting people, learning about cultures and seeking knowledge without having prior made-up ideas or« clichés ». Indeed a borderless dialogue that protects diversity of people and their history will over-come the « clichés » and erase them, allowing people to be conscious of their fellows and learn from their neighbors world over. Everybody should take part to building this consciousness of the “self” and the “other” in the prospect of creating a world where mutual understanding will lead our choices and actions for a better tomorrow.

Last year many events happened to take a place in the Arabs world ….those events changed the face of the Arabic countries forever..Some of people think..or let’s say the majority think that these changed it for the best means people found what they were looking for which is something called Democracy and some …whom are a minority of course, are saying that things changed it for the worst which means in one word “A MESS”….well, this is not the case for all the countries…and the way we are dealing with this issue as a part from the Arabic countries ill say that..Some places really needed a change but the rest were just “imitating”. Hearing the word democracy from some people they don’t know even how to read, write, screaming with the name of their enemy to come and rescue them from their miserable life!!!!!!!…is kind of showing the western world, how fool they are, and that they sold themselves and their souls for a cheap price under the title of “The Democracy”. I never knew that “Democracy” face it the word “A civil war” in the dictionary …well at least in my dictionary ….most of you don’t know what I’m talking about! ….Well …I m talking about the civil wars in Libya , Syria, Yemen ,…..and others where the intention is not rise by the PRESS…..YET!!!!that and from my point of view should take a large responsibility about what’s happening nowadays and in the future ( I hope not) in some places in the Middle East …that disease which they call it THE ARABS SPRING!!! Thus, if trying so hard to convince people that they are peaceful while they’re not. Killing, stealing country’s natural resources, torturing men, women and kids, destroying a whole country and making people home-less!!!!!...is Democracy????....therefore,I’M AGAINST IT.

You really want to know what our problems? Why we protest, love in, sit down, get high, rave or simply misbehave? .You ask what we are really
protesting about is a silly question_ it deserves and often gets the reply: what is everyone else complacent about? The pressing question I should have thought, is not what, what now? For there are many reasons for protest as there are protesters.I see you are all looking for universal causes of our frustration or dissatisfaction .but the universal answers turn out to be universally unconstructive .the permissive society gets the blame but no one knows precisely who where or what it is .the generation gap is invoked .but those who believe in its existence also seem to believe in its inevitability ; if not its necessity in the order of things .I think it exists to give the middle aged something to protest about every specialist has got specialized answers .when we march , politicians march with us .when we smoke pot ,the doctors study us .When we drop out ,the sociologists cluster round us their views, am sure ,are to be respected. But they are speaking about us? Not for us.There is a gap that I’m aware of, but it’s not so big you may scarcely see. It’s an ideological gap, which means you and I will use different words for the same thing. We will adopt different priorities for the same problem and make different interpretations for the same situations; above all .we will come up with different answers to the same questions.I don’t see there is a hope in hell of your seeing is it our way? I‘d rather you didn’t try, as a matter of fact, because if there is one thing worse than censure, it’s ignorant admiration and we’ve had enough of that heaped on us this year.i suppose of all prejudices, age-prejudice is one of the most crippling, matching disillusion with idealism, experience against enthusiasm, it makes so few distinctions, equates protest with delinquency, drop-outs with failure. it obscures the fact that everywhere the protest are continuing, articulate, organized and educated, and we no longer feel hopelessly determined by history .it ignores the fact that every drop-out (your catch phase, I think, not ours) is in fact society’s failure .that each one of them is concerned with the quality of life, which the stay-ins are in no position to come to terms with active or passive, though, we aren’t deliberately trying to make things insufferable for society. We are simply trying to be a constant reminder, that society is insufferable.

COUPLE/COUPLE OF
Instead of “she went with a couple sleazy guys before she met me,” write “a couple of guys” if you are trying to sound a bit more formal. Leaving the “of” out is a casual, slangy pattern
CUT AND DRY/CUT AND DRIED
Many people mishear the standard expression meaning “set,” “not open to change,” as “cut and dry.” Although this form is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, it is definitely less common in sophisticated writing. The dominant modern usage is “cut and dried.” When used to modify a noun, it must be hyphenated: “cut-and-dried plan.”
DEMOCRAT PARTY/DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Certain Republican members of Congress have played the childish game in recent years of referring to the opposition as the “Democrat Party,” hoping to imply that Democrats are not truely democratic. They succeed only in making themselves sound ignorant, and so will you if you imitate it
DENIED OF/DENIED
If you are deprived of your rights you are denied them; but that’s no reason to confuse these two expressions with each other. You can’t be “denied of” anything.
DEPENDS/DEPENDS ON
In casual speech, we say “it depends who plays the best defense”; but in writing follow“depends” with “on.”
AM/PM
“AM” stands for the Latin phrase “Ante Meridiem”--which means “before noon”--and “PM”stands for “Post Meridiem”: “after noon.” Although digital clocks routinely label noon “12:00 PM” you should avoid this expression not only because it is incorrect, but because many people will imagine you are talking about midnight instead. The same goes for “12:00 AM.” Just say or write “noon” or “midnight” when you mean those precise times. It is now rare to see periods placed after these abbreviations: “A.M.”, but in formal writing it is still preferable to capitalize them, though the lower-case “am” and “pm” are now so popular .
ALL AND ALL/ALL IN ALL
“The dog got into the fried chicken, we forgot the sunscreen, and the kids starting whining atthe end, but all in all the picnic was a success.” “All in all” is a traditional phrase which canmean “all things considered,” “after all,” or “nevertheless.” People unfamiliar with thetraditional wording often change it to “all and all,” but this is nonstandard.

“ we often look for love every where and we look so dispred without it but the only prob is when we find it we look more dispred than before “
They say , “Love is all you need.” Who is this “they?” Who are these people who are quoted so often that their quotes acquire the status of proverbs? They are people like us who, having fallen in love, could not help putting their feelings in words. Given below are a few such axioms and proverbs on the subject of love. Love is a powerful emotion that can build or destroy civilizations. It can sweep rational thought out of our mind. Love, like other emotions, changes over time. “First love” is heady passion. “Young love” is about admiration and friendship. As years roll by, love develops into a secure emotional bond. Love. The pulse of life. The emotion that encapsulates all that is beautiful. Love is the essence of a relationship. Read along and enjoy the comforting emotion called love. It is amazing how this single emotion has woven itself so intricately into the fabric of our existence. so my friends , my question for you is : Have you ever felt in Love? if yes , tell us your story. if it is no , well you should hurry up , it’s true Love hurts but it’s worth it :) .
Ben Moody
LOVE THEY AND......ME
When I smiled at the sun, its beams burnt me I sang to the bird,But the bird didn’t hear me I tried to embrace the rose,Its leaves strangled me I stared at the stars, they couldn’t see me I loved the butterfly,It flew away for it hated me When I wanted to caress the breeze, Wind struck me Are they so wicked ? Or is wickdness in me
To the students of English Department be one ,be steady Trust your selves and just do the right thing the way you feel it and move on for you and for all your department mates.
all the best for you Miss Kahlerras
WORDS...this magical combination of tiny bold letters, how powerful they are when used in a logical sense!a man can be a dreamer, but unless he applies these dreams on solid ground, they are to become nothing but a bunch of unatainable fantasies.they say a picture is worth a thousand words ,well i say : a single word is worth a thousand thoughts.you can spend your whole life thinking and reflecting, but none of it could be appreciated if you don’t spell it out to the world!As a matter of fact, our whole body language contains a series of gestural performed words; a tear is a word , a smile is a word, a look is a word, a touch is a word ..this intentionally forgotten human power, can be the key to unlocking millions of life-saving secrets. a simple word can contain extraodinary healing powers to many suffering human souls.just like painting and dancing,communication is another form of art , it’s a shortcut towards mutual understanding , through communication only , can we solve wolrdwide issues , and save gallons of blooddshed. a man who masters the art of communication is a man who never experienced failure in his social life.why guessing when we can get assertive answers?! why wondering when we can obtain convincing responses?!we should never underestimate the supermassive value of words, nor use it as a weapon to blackmail others.a simple word can overturn the most sensitive situations and solve the most complicated problems, a single word can bright somebody’s day , as it can darken another’s ...in short words can make wonders!together we can tumble down the walls of silence , to express ourselves freely ,and never feel intimidated to show the whole world who we really are.

it’s too simple?!they?!
Unfortunately...There is strength…But in one exerting it on another’s weakness. There is mind…But it is used in planning to harm others.There is feeling…But in adoring what is beyond reality. There is persistence…But in repeating rejected actions.There is eloquence…But in one injuring another.There is wisdom…But in one accusing another.There is will…But in one envying another.There is solidarity…But in one relying on another.There is boldness…But in one insulting another.There is absolute freedom…But in one oppressing another.There is personality…But in one strengthening it upon another’s. There is great humanity…But only beyond special benefits.There is generosity…But in wasting time.There is patience…But in accepting to remain with low qualities.There is self-confidence…But in being arrogant.There is deep affection…But towards what is material.There is respect…But for deceptive appearances.There is principle…But in refusing to change oneself. Where are we going ..?!!!In reality…We will go forever, one day, carrying nothing with us except ‘high qualities’…. . Nowadays…What is more regrettable is the fact that hypocrisy, vulgarity, oppression and injustice together form ‘new fashion’ for ‘modern life’. The real power, however, is ‘pretence’ whereas humanity, modesty, patience, generosity and kindness are nothing more than ‘weakness’, but not absolutely because as there is who possesses them; there is, as well, who deserves and appreciates them...
Ambition, hope, desire, wish and dream are highly existent inside everyone, they somehow move into elliptical space created between the will, on one side, and the achievement, on the other. Therefore, the achievement can merely be obtained on the strength of will, but the latter might be powered on the strength of what exactly? The mind…As the only part of a human being that makes him distinguished from any other living being. The personality… As the main part of a person that makes him different from any other one. The reasoning… As the power that makes a person’s personality distinctive from any other one’s. The way of thinking…As the essential fact that makes any individual’s reasoning differs from another one’s. The self-confidence…As an inner feeling, or feature, that is built on the basis of strong personality. The insistence…As the impulse that is grown up from a great self-confidence. With their role, no doubt that the above-mentioned parts complete each other in qualifying, with God’s help of course, a person to accomplish their high dream as everyone’s aim for a better life. Take it!!! • Neverhesitate:imitateandyouwillcreate!• Neverbeshy:justtry!• Neverreduce:continuetoproduce!• Neverneglect:intendtocollect!• Decideandyouwillachieve!• Giveandyouwillreceive!• Acceptandyouwillbelieve!• Thinkandyouwillperceive!

Pure white stepped on the flourLike angels inside heaven’s coreYour majesty tonight you shall invade our landWe can’t resist your pure innocent white handOne by one they came within winter’s ceremonyHumbly the untouched accepted its destinyAnd the stubborn nature’s finally calmed downAs it wear its new coat and its crystalline crownMy heart has melted though every tree and oak was frigidAnd the white never stopped as it formed a happy legend To close your eyes on such a sight…Makes your dreams a living lightWishing this is the view to see every nightPoetry can’t tell the sweeter voice than a bellThe more delicious taste than jasmine’s smellThat the pure has made in drawing white shellProtected earth..Like a new baby birthHaunted the sky..And every place they lie

A Friend
Who will protect you from rain and from woes will defendThe one who give you dignity that…you never have to bendThe one that heal wounds of life..the one who always mendWho’ll always be there for you....Every moment will attendThe only one you know that the relationship will never end**So STOP messing around and more time with them SPEND

The words are flying inside my mindAffecting whatever I want to decideMixing letters together to understandBut it was like drowning every grain of sandJust to make them feel wetAnd get rid of the heat I betI see letters eager to meet the appropriate oneTo complete each other and reach the sunSome of them didn’t want to be gatheredOthers at times have been botheredTrying to make them indivisible and fusedConvincing them to never be confusedWhen letters agreed even the pen had no inkBecause if they don’t love each other they’d sinkBut they were supposed to wantNot only to accept and I’m sure they won’tI expected both of them to do their betterBut neither the ink did nor any letterNo one believed or helped the otherBecause none of them seemed to care or botherLetter from a DoveI received a letter from a doveShowing me the right way to loveAs I was reading that letterI felt a little bit betterI read that things won’t always be perfectAnd not everything will be as you expectThey’ll go up and sometimes they’ll fallWhat you gotta do is to be strong through it allCry and let your tears fall when you need toSmile when you want not when you have toBe with the one who loves you sincerelyWho makes you feel loved and live freelyBe honest with yourself and your loverNever hide your feelings and coverLies weakens the strongest relationBut the truth strengthen your emotionFrom your mistakes you should learnOr the bridge will be wrecked and it will burnBe who you really are and don’t pretendThat way your love will never reach the end Soumia Ayaicha

Elections 2012
A low turn-out is the failure and responsibility of the candidates. Until they humbly accept that they are elected to serve and not to rule, the electorate’s faith and trust in our elected representatives will continue to plummet. There is little democracy here and now we all recognise it. Benhacen Houssem
