 and two Mediterranean ports provide many opportunities to create a vibrant economy. Control corruption with determination.
ISLAM: Engage with all the different Syrian religious entities and celebrate their differences; but beware of the Islamists who will accept nothing less than total and absolute power. It’s their purpose and mission in life. Ignore the past history full of blood and write your own history of pluralism and tolerance. Always look to the future and rely on your country’s history as a guidance to improve and not a reason to deconstruct. If you are a Muslim, become the new image of Islam all Muslims wish it upon themselves, strong and participatory. No more infidels, martyrs of violence, suicide bombers, or Imams out of medieval Europe. Reformed Islam is upon us and he who builds a Muslim University to teach free thought will help Islam usher modernity. You will be attacked but you will also start the first step in freeing Islam from a thousand years of shackles. Muslims must break free from this low ceiling of ignorance and control. Damascus has all the credentials and historic authority to reform Islam.
FOREIGN RELATIONS: Syria must stand strong and independent. No interference from outside by other Arab or non-Arab countries and no interference of our own unto others. Keep your relations friendly with everyone. Engage with our neighbors and the Gulf countries in a friendly manner, as long as they are peaceful, no matter their ideologies or mission. Theirs is theirs and ours is ours. It is not up to Syria to solve their problems. Their own people will.
ISRAEL: Engage with the State of Israel openly and demand the peaceful return of the Golan Heights as openly. For Syria’s sake, never accept the Golan back if the Syrian people are not willing to accept Israel in their hearts. It’s a trade-off that takes courage and time, but it is for Syria’s best interests. You should no longer accept to spread hate of Jews during the day and send faxes of apologies at night. Silence over Israel is no longer an option either because the extremists are winning with their loud voices of intolerance and will hijack your agenda. Syria needs Israeli knowledge and scientists and our people need to understand this is in our best interests, not the Israelis. You would be harming Syria if you do not build secure and open relations with Israel and the Israeli people.
THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE: After some 64 years of trying, there is no solution to the Palestinian Cause except through drastic measures such as providing those living in Syria full Syrian citizenship. Keeping the Palestinians in limbo living under abhorrent conditions promotes more violence. Palestinians need to realize you want them to be successful Syrian citizens proud of their heritage and roots. Don’t use them as a weapon because it’s not in Syria’s best interests. You will be attacked for your policies but that what separates a strong domestic leader from a weak regional one. The more we support blindly the Palestinians, the further we are from regional peace and stability. Don’t let Israel haters in western countries lead you with their ill-conceived policies because when your people suffer the consequences, they still bask in comfort and luxury thousands of kilometers away.
WESTERNIZATION: There is nothing wrong in adopting western values as long as our heritage and traditions remain ours to protect. Remember that their history went through the same ignorance we Arabs and Muslims are going through today. Promote western values of individuality to build the nation and don’t let the Islamists impose collectivism to expunge independent thinking. Remind our people that a cocooned country is a weak country. We have a lot to learn from western ideas and innovation to survive the competitive world around us.
PRINCIPLES: Don’t be afraid to fight for the right principles even at the expense of future votes. Syrians may not be ready for your ideas but it is your job to open their hearts and minds. That’s what leadership is all about, difficult and miserable but rewarding if you succeed during your time. If you don’t, history will remember you kindly when your ideas become realities. Always remember that Syria gets the prize when it becomes politically and economically strong and that your personal journey is yours to remember but only Syria can be its sole beneficiary. Don’t worry about dying poor, you won’t be able to take it with you.
The above represents all ten rules of leadership for Syria we believe are important to implement after Assad falls.
As a Muslim, I am proud of my identity. I do not hate Islam, I just want it reformed to be a spiritual passive religion inspiring whomever wants to believe instead of the militarized aggressive religion it is today. I also believe those who criticize my religion have every right to do so.. Terror and violence gives us no right to immunity because it immunizes our actions.

HE STANDS there looking like a cross between Elvis Presley and a reject from Sha Na Na with faint Dylanesque overtones and a battered Fender Telecaster hung low enough for him to qualify for a place in the Ventures.

NONE is a music project I have collaborated with on behalf of Canadian record label Hypnotic Dirge. My goal was to capture their haunting music by allowing the listener to see inside the minds of the musicians. This was a full branding project which included the logo, type, photography, and packaging designs.
Damp Chill of Life (2019): For this release, I matched the cold tone of the album with photography in the Oregon wilderness in the middle of winter while hiking through snow. The photography was paired with the visual language from my work on Life Has Gone on Long Enough. This language utilizes panoramic spreads, hand-drawn type, minimal information, and an over-the-top atmospheric feel.
Life Has Gone on Long Enough (2018): For my first project for the band, we wanted to create an epic packaging language using 360-degree panoramic photography for the 6-panel spread. The
