Torsemide Without A Prescription

September 18, 2008 690 Comments

Written By: Torsemide without a prescription, Madian al Jazerah, co-owner of Books@Cafe

This is about where we stand in hypocrisy and bigotry…and where we will be if we remain quiet.

Books@Cafe and many other establishments have been closed this week. Here is what I witnessed and what happened to us at Books@Cafe:

The night before Ramadan, Online torsemide, the police violently stormed into the café and asked us to close down. “This is the holy month of Ramadan!” they barked. Since we are officially licensed and they could provide no official papers, we refused to close, overnight torsemide.

This is the third year we operate, fully licensed by the Ministry of Tourism and the Hotel and Restaurant Association, torsemide without a prescription. This is very important, because we are categorized as 3-star tourist, Torsemide medication, with recent faxes from the Ministry endorsing the permit to operate all day with regular food and drink service, including alcohol.

Last Wednesday, we hear that a security committee (Al lajna al amnia) has been formed and comprises of 3 groups: The Hotel and Restaurant Association, torsemide online review, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Governate. Cheapest generic torsemide, All three must be present when this committee goes out to inspect.

That Wednesday night, the new committee barged into Books@Cafe (making sure every one saw them) and bullying everyone with their looks and comments. Torsemide without a prescription, They then walked into the kitchen while many of us including my brother were standing and witnessing. One person proceeds to tell our chef that there are cockroaches, torsemide pills, insects, mice in the kitchen. Order torsemide on internet, Every one was baffled and were telling him to show us what he was talking about. Of course there was nothing, but with every accusation, he ordered one of his committee members to write it down and then adds, cheap torsemide pill, “let them get what they deserve for serving alcohol in this holy month.”

Our chef kept asking the guy to show him where he saw cockroaches, mice, Cheap generic torsemide, however the inspector was not there to listen; he was just there to write us up and penalize us.

Despite the fact that only representatives from the Ministry and the Governate were there - no one from the Hotel and Restaurant Association. The guy then tells us we should not be serving alcohol on the terrace; we immediately pulled all liquor sales indoors, torsemide without a prescription.

Sunday night, we get shocked with the visit from the police with an order to close, buy torsemide cheap. There was no reason within the order. Of course, Buy torsemide generic, they only come at night so that there is no one to call or anything to do. When we showed them our papers, they kept calling us a night club. Torsemide without a prescription, We are licensed as a restaurant. To them, torsemide in bangkok, if alcohol is served, then it is a night club. Fda approved torsemide, This is the logic we encountered, regardless of the fully accredited and legal license.

To our shock, the order started with the same Ministry of Tourism representative who received us like we were dirt at the ministry, find torsemide on internet. He had sent a document with 18 accusations at us including the basic cockroaches, insects etc. Including another accusation “jalsat 7ameema wa tabadol al qubal.” Roughly translated into “intimate gatherings and exchange of kissing.” He also mentions that someone told him to go and form his prayer ablutions with beer, torsemide without a prescription. Torsemide online pharmacy, The document stated that this was all happening on the terrace, in public and in front of us and everyone. The guy was lying through his teeth.

For now Books@Cafe is closed, cost of torsemide. We are trying to get the license to reopen and have to send a “ister7am” as in begging for mercy for something we were legally doing and licensed by our ministry to do. Torsemide without a prescription, To date the Ministry of Tourism and the Hotel and Restaurant Association have done nothing. The star rating system they have created has no value or protection. Cheap torsemide online, Any comments on our system. Do we pay a rashwa to get things done or do we fight to make Jordan and our system fully protect our rights. Or do we just close up and leave the country and lose all our love and loyalty to Jordan. I prefer to fight for a better Jordan and I think everyone should do the same, torsemide without a prescription. This is my country and I live in it and I will contribute to a better Jordan, purchase torsemide no rx.

UPDATE: The ministry has a list of 60 places recently closed. Cupid Cafe, Discount torsemide, Irish Pub and others are included.

EDITORS' NOTE: We would like to note that while 7iber encourages and welcomes all forms of debate, however sensitive the topic may be, it DOES NOT sanction any conversation that is laden with disrespectful language, where to buy torsemide. Please find a way to get your point across without attacking others or their beliefs. Also, please keep it clean: profanity does not strengthen one's argument.

Thank you..

    You know, living in Jordan now, I guess there’s a reason I stayed away from places serving alcohol during Ramadan. I’m always worried that THIS would happen, even with a license in place and everything.

    You just get a 6th sense about these things – which proves how irrational these incidents are to begin with, because you shouldn’t *need* a 6th sense to begin with.

    This is fascinating – all the comments here are right. Everyone!

    Shutting down Books@Café and the other F&B outlets around the country in a way that allows the system to abuse its own rules is the saddest low point we can get to. It does nothing but drive us to lose faith and cultivate apathy. A restaurant’s license should be honored. A rule should be respected. Common sense should be heard. Public servants should not forget that they are there to serve. The business of fear, amnesia and anesthesia should not be allowed to prevail.

    I think that if the government doesn’t want people serving alcohol during Ramadan, then they shouldn’t license it. They cannot legally allow serving of drinks and then shut an establishment down because of it on false pretenses. This totally undermines the ministry, and it calls all of our rights into question.

    That being said, I’m personally against serving alcohol in Ramadan, simply because Jordan’s official religion is Islam and Ramadan is supposed to be a holy month. What people want to do in their homes is their business, but it just seems sad that Ramadan means so little to the youth of our country. What’s going on at books@ is ridiculous, but I don’t support their decision to serve alcohol; I support their right to do so under Jordanian law, and I support their right to honesty and fairness from Jordanian authorities.

    This is exactly what I hate about Jordan. You guy’s think it’s only about Books and all those places that keep getting shut down. No, its about how they expect everyone to fast with them here and abide by their RELIGIOUS LAWS. These morons who keep wanting to stretch their muscles and try to show people that they can do as they please is disgusting. These people are the reason why Jordan IS NOT GROWING AS FAST AS IT SHOULD BE. Jordan is a dam good place to live in, but when you come across people like this, people in the street who say something to you if you are chewing gum (even if you are not MUSLIM). But they expect you to fast with them. When we as Christians fast, we don’t close down their stores and have them stop selling meats and poultry. We don’t involve people in our own religious beliefs.
    This has got to stop. It’s all about your last name here…it’s disgusting.

    Dear Madian

    I have been to books@ many times, the food is great and I always visit with my family (who are veiled by the way). The issue here is not alcohol, it is obvious that it is much bigger than that. Some things to consider and think about:

    - Whether we like to admit it or not, Books@ has the reputation of being the place where the gay community hang out
    - Whether any of us like it or not, admit it or not, being gay is still not socially acceptable nor does it fit within the Islamic laws
    - Whether we like it or not, this is an Islamic country and we must abide by its laws and customes and respect them

    There are 2 possibilities:
    - The reputation of the cafe being a “gay” place has become so popular that this caused issues with the government and perhaps someone complained
    - A top “wasel” person has a personal issue with the cafe or its management, or a personal incident has happened that Books@ had to pay the price for.

    As you said, you have been legal through out the way, stay that way, revise the requirements, the complains, make ammendments, sweet talk some of those ****** people. At least pretend to be on their side. This is not a win situation and you need to survive. Jordan will not change overnight and a fight will get you nowhere if not in jail.

    Through this meduim, you have voiced your opinion and created awareness. Awareness is key to drive a change and development in this country. That is the best you can do.

    Wishing you the best of luck.

    I would just like to point out that I have no issues whatsoever with the Gay community, but the reality is that this fight will not be won anytime soon.

    Abbey, you think Jordan is heading in the wrong direction because your favorite Cafe was closed for a month? you are not bothered by the poverty? the declining quality education? the unemployment? the cancer death rate? the runaway corruption? To you Jordan is in danger because you can’t meet with your friends at Books@Cafe during Ramadan?

    GOD LORD!!!! where do you people come from?

    Some want to turn this into a barometer for religious freedoms, knowing they can get alcohol form a dozen other places. Some want to use it as yardstick for Jordan’s progress. GROW UP! GET REAL! GET A GRIP ON REALITY!

    I have never encountered so much whining from a group of premadonnas who want it their way or life is not worth living. PLEASE, STOP THIS DISINGENUOUS MELODRAMA! YOU ARE LOSING SUPPORTERS, FAST.

    This is a very controversal issue, and I can see that people have different point of views, but to set things str8 here are some points to be concerned:

    1. If a place is licensed by the Government to operate and serve alcohol during Ramadan, then why are we blaming Books and other cafes?

    2. If this measure upsets Muslims in Jordan and the local traditions of the Holy month, why arent we bitching the Government about giving permissions and letting people have alcohol during Ramadan?

    3. I went to the airport on friday morning and during Ramadan, and the cafe in the arrival terminal was serving food and coffee during the day! Is this exceptional, to have food infront of the public during the day? where are the traditions, how come I didnt hear any of you bitch about it?

    4. If books is closed because its a Gay heaven, why didn’t the Government and Intelligence close it down? Is having Gays and Lesbians in a palce makes it worth closing down? What about Nai, Kanabayah, Starbucks? Gays are everywhere

    5. The law should be respected and if this case invloves corruption, bribary, then shame on us and them!

    Well guys, come on, be realistic, if not for alcohol, this place must be shut down for many many many other things.

    First of all the food is disgusting, and the waiters are very rude, and I even know a waiter who used to work there that used to spit in milkshakes when he didn’t like the customer, and no I’m not joking, I’m dead serious.

    In addition, the place is full of gay people with crazy haircuts and piercings all over their faces, it’s fucking disgusting.

    So why the hell do you people keep going to such a place?

    60 places closed so far !! others are not close-able due to their owners being well reputed or are coming from a powerfull background family or group !!

    would someone please stop arguing about religions and respect and bribes and think what bussinesses are we keeping in our country?! and what kind of tourism are we expected to serve without tourist attractions ?? face it people, such restaurants (and i wouldn’t call them bars nor night clubs nor otherwise) are pure tourist attraction points.. do you really want those to vanish..

    places that have always been known to be sociability nodes, places where people and the young generation have been speaking their minds from! places of expression and freedom of thought? i don’t think this country’s vision stops at closing such places down!

    we’re going backwards with this..

    and if its about alcohol serving in ramadan month, then please, why wouldn’t the authority have simply sent out new descions and orders that are RESPECTFULLY directed to (restaurants and cafes) that serve alcohol or drinks with a liscence, and simply just EDIT the liscence into food only! or even into food only after iftar time!

    this is an issue to talk about.. not mutual respect or otherwise.. we’re one hell of a great community when it comes to being one! we’re always one!

    60 places closed so far !! others are not close-able due to their owners being well reputed or are coming from a powerfull background family or group !!

    would someone please stop arguing about religions and respect and bribes and think what bussinesses are we keeping in our country?! and what kind of tourism are we expected to serve without tourist attractions ?? face it people, such restaurants (and i wouldn’t call them bars nor night clubs nor otherwise) are pure tourist attraction points.. do you really want those to vanish..

    places that have always been known to be sociability nodes, places where people and the young generation have been speaking their minds from! places of expression and freedom of thought? i don’t think this country’s vision stops at closing such places down!

    >>> Loai: is this Jordan?? the democratic country??

    Loai, silly me. I used to think democracy means that power transfer is done by popular elections where the majority chooses its leader and lawmakers.

    Now I discover it’s done by drinking beer at Books@Cafe.

    No wonder we never saw westernized Jordanians in pro-democracy rallies in Jordan all those year. They had their democracy all along in Jabal Amman. And the legislators were meeting daily at Books@cafe during happy hours enacting laws under the watchful eyes of big brother Jack Danial and before him Johnny Walker allayer7amo.

    Now we know what sort of peopel frequent Book@Cafe. The incredibly shallow, narcissistic, and clinically self-absorbed types.

    But I strongly believe what happened to Books was immoral, illegal, and does reflect a more troubling problem: the selective enforcement of the law and the misuse of law enforcement to harm business competitors.
