I'm planning a trip to Paris and London at the beginning of July inshallah, for two weeks... any hotel recommendations? somewhere close enough to tourist stuff, but safe and of course cheap? also, on a side note, i'd be interested in meeting any naseebers who live in london or paris, as I will be travelling solo. one more thing! any daytrips you would recommend from both cities? i've already been to monet's gardens at giverny... never been to london though, and wondering which daytrips are worth the tim...

May 22, 2005 at 12:36amThanks shadowfigure, hostels are a great idea, except I'm not too sure how that would work out for me as a single hijab-wearing woman... I was always worried about the privacy f...
May 21, 2005 at 1:51pmI went to both cities last year by myself also. Id recommend staying in hostels, instead of hotels. You meet crazy characters from all over the world and end up hanging out wi...

What do you think is a reasonable age difference between the man and the woman in a couple? I know a lot of us could say that anything goes as long as it works for the couple but if there is a choice what age difference would you consider right? who should be older?
May 6, 2005 at 1:39amDAMM. Sorry about the length. I got done w/ exams yesterday, and have some time on my hands hahaha.

March 26, 2006 at 11:47amFunny thing is, there is a pita lebanese restaurant in my area. The employees wear a shirt and on the back it reads, 'no pita for you' :)

Does anyone here live in an area where the masjid or some other group sponsors a support group or committee just for converts? If so, please contact me (or if you can't because you don't give your $ to Naseeb, you can post your response on here). I'm very interested in starting one of these groups in my community inshaAllah because of the growth of Muslims here (alhamdulillah) and would like to know how other similar groups were organized and function. Thank you!!
May 2, 2005 at 12:56amSalam Sis, You can start with the presentations (new muslim class) and buddy system with no need for funds. It's all volunteer based here, you just need someone who is well v...

I am getting increasingly irritated by the fact that why do women have to take all the responsibility and impose more and more restrictions on themselves because men are sick. Why would Allah want to do this to half the population of homosapiens? BUt then is it really what Islam teaches us or the interpretation that comes from predominantly male scholars. In our culture women are taught to always be afraid of this and that. Dont wear this, dont talk loud, dont laugh. Then if you wear hijab people will obje... Read More
May 7, 2005 at 10:45amI think there is a little bit of cultural variation in that concept of not attracting attention. If I walk down the street here in an all back iranian or saudi chador, I will a...

Does anyone here every frequent used bookstores? This sounds cheap and dorky, but I figure why not get the books that you want (especially if you buy alot of them). Also, you are doing the environment a favor. The best part though is finding that 1942 Rubaiyatt, or an early Shelley book of poetry. I absolutely love going to these places and poring over the stacks. Its somewhat of a hobby now. Anyone else?
May 1, 2005 at 12:46pmThanks Salman, I know ALL of the used bookstores in NOVA. However I was focussing more on the ambiance and the desire.
May 1, 2005 at 9:48amI shouldn't be promoting used bookstores here, since publishing companies lose money to them, but I must say that I find old, weathered, worn books charming and would much rathe...

On the 1st of January, 1998, Bjarne Stroustrup gave an interview to the IEEE's 'Computer' magazine. Naturally, the editors thought he would be giving a retrospective view of seven years of object-oriented design, using the language he created. By the end of the interview, the interviewer got more than he had bargained for and, subsequently, the editor decided to suppress its contents, 'for the good of the industry' but, as with many of these things, there was a leak. Here is a complete transcript o... Read More

I think J-Lo is overrated...personally I do not think she is attractive at all. Her hips and butt are too big for the rest of her body...she is very unproportionate.....she should have more on top. Her feautures are nothing special, particularly her nose and her thin lips...and why on earth does the woman never wear lipstick???? In case anyone wants to call me a "hater", I will go ahead and say that I think Angelina Jolie, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Ritchie... Read More
May 16, 2005 at 1:47pmShe does it for me, plus I am sure since she was a fly girl that she has a flexible body, the only overrated part is her acting, she has some good roles like in out of sight, U-...

May 16, 2005 at 1:01amNot everyone - no need to generalize. Anyhow I think she has a really nice complexion, her body is extremely nice (check out her get it right video) and her hair is gorgeous. An...

Why dont we start sharing some of our most 'loved' songs by jagjit. I particularly like the 'Kagaz ki kishti' song, but i think everyone who listens to Jagjit likes it. So to add a bit of a flare, i really like this one ghazal called 'mey nashay mey hu'. I like how Jagjit busts out with a little commentary...joke, story,etc before he sings. This applies mostly to the 'live performance' songs...but some songs do have a good joke in the beginning. I have songs to share, so if anyone wants this 'nashay' ... Read More

New biography, in X

Im not sure how much you guys in here know about malcom, Amina, you must know what im saying. Anyone in here whos not read his autobio, you must read it. simple as that. and i recommend to not read any other material on him, ive been tricked by other writings and i cannot help but mistrust anyone else.
October 17, 2009 at 2:29amAs Salamu Alaikum, Dear brothers and sisters in Islam. I have read bits and peices of Al Hajj Malik Al Shabazz autobiography. Most of my education on "Malcolm X" has come fro...

manchester news Monday, 7th June 2004 MANCHESTER music legend Morrissey sparked controversy when he announced Ronald Reagan's death live on stage during a concert - and then declared he wished it was George Bush who had died instead. Thousands of fans at Dublin Castle, in Ireland, cheered when the ex-Smiths frontman made the announcement that the former American president, who had battled with Alzheimer's Disease, had passed away. And an even bigger cheer followed when Morrissey - who is no stranger t... Read More
