When they divorced two years later she became known as Her Royal Highness Princess Dina Abdul-Hamid of Jordan. Queen Dina eventually fell in love with the King's enemy - a Palestinian guerilla leader - which resulted in thousands of people dying when the King declared war against the Palestinians in what is now referred to as Black September. Queen Dina is also remembered for secretly arranging one of the largest prisoner exchanges ever.</p> <p>Toujan al-Faisal was accused of apostasy and there were calls for her execution when she stood up to religious fundamentalism in Jordan. The court eventually dismissed her case and she was elected to Parliament in 1993 where she served until 1997. During their time together Toujan explained how Deborah could help Jordanians:</p> <p>"People in the Middle East are either born as an oppressor or they were born to be oppressed. The only way to make change was to embarrass her country and its laws. The only way to change our laws is through retention from outsiders. Now that they know outsiders are watching Jordan wants to appear progressive. That's why I wanted to meet you [Deborah] so that you can be our messenger."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49396--unveiled-author-deborah-kanafani-5-of-6">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/48164-anderson-cooper-takes-a-shank-to-dina-lohan 2008-10-28T21:31:20Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hLmDqbWsDbE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hLmDqbWsDbE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/48164-anderson-cooper-takes-a-shank-to-dina-lohan"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57969" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Watch more at <a href="http://www.theyoungturks.com">www.theyoungturks.com</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/48164-anderson-cooper-takes-a-shank-to-dina-lohan">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/40127-lindsay-lohan-s-mother-in-the-spotlight 2008-10-24T09:30:23Z youngturks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dX5Al7n1LHw&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dX5Al7n1LHw&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/40127-lindsay-lohan-s-mother-in-the-spotlight"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/45282" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>What kind of project is Dina Lohan getting into? </p> <p>Watch the entire show at <a href="http://www.theyoungturks.com">www.theyoungturks.com</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/40127-lindsay-lohan-s-mother-in-the-spotlight">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/26673-dina-kaplan-on-the-youtube-debate 2009-01-09T02:22:37Z Tech President <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1nngj0buEso&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1nngj0buEso&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/26673-dina-kaplan-on-the-youtube-debate"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/28675" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Dina Kaplan on the YouTube Debate</p> </div> <a href="/blog/26673-dina-kaplan-on-the-youtube-debate">Watch the video</a>
