The Twenty and the One A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the county. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.""Wow!" sa... Read More

Mother Teresa's Heavenly Experience When Mother Teresa died and went to heaven, God greeted her at the Pearly Gates. "Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?" asked God. "I could eat," Mother Teresa replied. So God opened a can of tuna and reached for a chunk of rye bread and they began to share it. While eating this humble meal, Mother Teresa looked down into Hell and saw the inhabitants devouring huge steaks, lobsters, pheasants, and pastries. Curious, but deeply trusting, she remained quiet. The ... Read More

If you are ever in a situation where you are badly stuck between a rock and a wall, what will you choose? e.g. If a terrorist comes to you and proves that he has a remote contol detonator that will kill 2 or more people for sure, but he is willing to not press the button if you kill yourself with the gun right in front of you. Will you do it with the knowledge, that, to kill yourself is forbidden religiously? (the only way, the terrorist is communicating with you is though a TV live broadcast, you cant ... Read More
May 12, 2005 at 2:55pmbegsy and humble, very sensible suggestions.. i would pretend to kill myself.. wait for him to come and find me and then give him a kicking.. ok you didn't give us this option,,...
May 12, 2005 at 2:14pmThis is exactly the question mamad, will you "without knowing" equate your "one" life as a human to 2 or more human lives. thus the notion "greater good".
May 12, 2005 at 8:25amDepends who the two people he's gonna blow up are. If it's Saddam and Osama I'll press the button myself.

Your body becomes inactive after 11pm... Hence you can lose more weight when you exercise before bedtime or get fitter.... Or if you eat after 11pm, your body becomes unhealthy or likely to gain weight.... After a busy day I tend to exercise before bedtime - 100 sit ups.... Any of you guys in the same league as me by any chance?
May 20, 2005 at 8:52pmim the other way around, try my best to gain weight....nothing happens =(

Heres a situation, has anyone here had a good friend that brought nothing to the table but DRAMA? And the negativity has gone too far? Now what do you do? Everytime you try to discuss something it gets taken way too far either in an arguement or some other type of drama? So what is the best way of dealing with someone so negative? Offer help? Kick them to the curb?
May 13, 2005 at 3:14pmlol Jas. Well if they are worth putting up with. Some people are negative but are open to suggestions and willing to change, where some are just too stubborn, i'll leave t hem ...

Here's a handy website to find out about your favorite Superhero and when they are coming to the big screen! It has links to the newest Batman trailers, pics of the new Superman (btw, what do you guys think about him?), and other good stuff! superherohype.com
May 24, 2005 at 12:21pmI suggest wearing a size bigger when you do so. Otherwise, the pressure can be discomforting on the body and lead to a rash. ;)

Is it just me or does everyone randomly recall people we have not met in ages. I sometimes even have dreams about classmates from eighth grade who I have never since then and probably would never see them again in my life. Are you reminded of old classmates or people the way I am?
May 11, 2005 at 12:42pmI do often think of people who I went to school with. Actually all my best friends are people who I have known since elementary school.....some even as far back as kindegarten. ...
May 11, 2005 at 11:16amAliya: you are funny...for some reason I just keep running into these things all the time :) Thanks for the compliments!!

Did anyone else see Kingdom of Heaven? I watched it twice in the span of 4 days (ok ok, I was dragged to see it the second time). It is generally very well representing of Muslims, and quite an interesting story, even though there are a lot of historic inaccuracies. Also, the actor playing Salah Al-din is a really good Syrian actor named Ghassan Masoud. He plays it quite charismatically! I think y'all should see it!
May 15, 2005 at 1:55amyah norah I did a search too before but couldnt find it....I have it I think on tape somewhere though.....
May 14, 2005 at 3:31pmYou know the one that goes "Kont mashi, sheft wa7deh bterkood, roo7 arkood ma3ha. Something something something, Goltelha ka3k b3ajweh, something something somethings, goltelha ...
May 14, 2005 at 3:14pmSpeaking of ka3keh ba3gwyeh, does anybody remember that "Abou Yousef" song? I've been searching for it for almost 2 weeks and I cant find it.

Ok this supposed to be fun, you put up a literal translation of an english or Arabic term or phrase, and the next person should guess it or be able to translate it:) Example: What's up?=maza faoq? keef haluk?=what is your status? :)

Well I must admit, I had a rough time in Mashad cuz i couldnt communicate. And 'bebakhsi' doesnt take you too far especially when you get stepped on your toes. So plz 'edumacate' me atleast 10 important pharases that can help a non iranian get by.
June 16, 2005 at 4:56pmWhat is the punishment for bribing a 'maulana' to keep the khutba short?

Any thoughts? I dont know his biography, so no opinion yet, but many people were happy when he died.
May 12, 2005 at 11:58ammamad..I agree, some people mis take him and he was in no way supportive of currupt rulers.
May 12, 2005 at 10:44amSheikh Zayed certainly was a great man and many obituaries have been written about him. He is quoted as saying "Arab oil is not dearer than Arab blood."
May 12, 2005 at 10:30amThe (late - RIP 2004) Sheikh Zayed of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) was one of the inimitable Muslim leaders of all time. Although not elected through a public election process...

Sorry folks my Islamic schooling taught me that Allah is without gender. Allah has no mother, no father, no daughter no SON. That being true why did you get so upset that Allah was referred to as a her? Why not get upset when he is referred to as a He or male as well?
June 23, 2005 at 1:06ammyster atif...i wish majority of the people had the common sense you do =)

June 22, 2005 at 5:29pmwhat patriarchal? If Almighty chooses to refer to Himself as "He" then who is anyone else to say otherwise? common sense - yet not common enough...

Well was he? Were his sons good Muslims? Do you even consider them as Muslim? Did they consider themselves as Muslim? Would any of you liked to have lived in Iraq under their rule? Why?
May 14, 2005 at 4:28amSaddam was an evil man. None of the Arab countries did anything because he was fighting with his Muslim neighbour Iran. Thanks to Khomeini's stupidity and sayings, such as he's ...
May 13, 2005 at 9:59pmIt's funny when you mention these countries as having the strongest muslim armies in the world. They wouldn't stand a chance against any western country or Israel for that matter.

Has anyone ever sat and thought about the sacrifices their parents have made for them? Many of us are Arab Muslim Americans and most of us have parents who came from other countries to make a "better" life for their families. They left what is familiar to pursue a dream. Mother's day just passed and I was thinking about all the sacrifices both of my parents have made for me. AlhamdillaAllah I am very lucky for both of them. My father came from Syria to the United States with $150 and a dream of education an... Read More

Salam. Well, I have read some of the other posts and have to say that Nash does deserve MVP. Just like JKidd turned around NJ in 01-02, Nash turned around Phx. Except for Q, this is almost the same team Starbury had, and he took them no where. Point guards like JKidd, and Nash are hard to find these days. The are **important** to a team, and the most **valuable** asset of their team. Just like Shaq, and the great MJ, players are selected as MVPs because of their importance to their team. So in the e... Read More
May 18, 2005 at 8:49pmI think Wade will get his props next year.....he just came out of nowhere. But he's the shi@, starting to dominate. Nash had a great year...deserved the mvp. Philly h...
May 12, 2005 at 7:43pmwhat a waste of a journal entry. can we get back to the playoffs??????????????????????
May 12, 2005 at 7:05pmValid points but I'd still vote for Shaq...with Udonis Haslem, Damon Jones and an ancient Eddie Jones as 3/5ths of your starting rotation, you gotta be an MVP to carry them to t...

Having seen how another village on Naseeb with its 'liberal' claims is kicking out members whose opinions are not in consonance with the administrator, I, who is a liberal by all definition, would like to congradulate Aim786 for not resorting to such deplorable tactics.............I share next to NONE of Aim876's views but my 'online battles' aren't with persons or their belief systems...they are in essence with those who reject the ideals such as complete freedom of speech...liberal, conservative lables are onl...

May 13, 2005 at 8:56pmYa i agree with you, Rozaiba. I was banned once in someone's JE because I expressed views that were contrary to that person's views. Quite a coward, i'd say. So at least I ap...

Hope you have fun with this! Who are you? Everyone has a personality of a cartoon character. Have you ever asked yourself what cartoon character do you most resemble? A group of investigators got together and analyzed the personalities of well-known and modern cartoon characters. The information that was gathered was made into this test. Answer all the questions with what describes you best, add up all your points (which are next to the answer that you choose) at the end and look for your res... Read More
