I like to dress classy and sexy. what I dont understand is every single muslim guy I've come across wiether liberal or conservative has an issue with the way a woman dresses!!! The muslim men that drink and sleep around want to control the way their wife dresses. The abcd guys freak out if his girl puts on a mini. The Fob will never allow any form of bathing suit. The relig... Read More

Legislature sets down the law, encompassing the major contexts and outcomes it deems desirable. Jurists learn and understand the letter of this law, as well as its underlying purposes. In applying the law to a particular context, they may apply the text as directly applicable... But what if there has been a change in context? A textualist will say, "Congress is free to adapt the law to the new context," so no. This is the only justification for textualism. In Islam, there is no longer a functioning Congress ... Read More

Up For Grabs Three ministers are talking over lunch and before long find themselves discussing how much of the weekly offering is appropriate to keep and how much to give to the Lord. The first minister says, "I just draw a line on the floor, put one foot on both sides, and throw the money into the air. Whatever lands on the right side of the line is God's and whatever lands on the left is mine." The second minister notes that he uses a similar method, but "I use a small coffee table when I throw the m... Read More

Kab talak shama jali, yaad naheen Sham-e-gham kaise dhali, yaad naheen Is qadar yaad hai apne the sabhi Kisne kya chaal chali, yaad naheen Hum zamane mein kuch aise bhutkay Ab to unki bhi gali yaad naheen Abr tha, jaam tha, per aap na thay Woh ghadi kaise tali yaad naheen Kat gayi umer kisi tereh "Qateel" Woh buri thee keh bhali yaad naheen Kab talak shama jali, yaad naheen Sham-e-gham kaise dhali, yaad naheen

Looking into the heart of light, the silence, on a Gulf midsummer midday: few birds sing, the crickets are still. The intense heat beats everything into a limp, dank stupor. The hum of air-conditioning, the whir of a fan, the endless drone of traffic down Sheikh Zayed road: even these are blurred and muted under the glare of the sun. White-collar workers walk swiftly from their cars into cool buildings, never lingering, never chatting. Blue-boilersuits on the roadside keep still in the shadow of a small tree... Read More

I just read Carmen bin Ladin's memoirs about living in Saudi Arabia called 'Inside the Kingdom'. For those of you who havent heard of her, she is Osama's sister in law. Osamas father, Sheikh Muhammad bin Ladin had 21 wives and 54 children, Osama and Carmen's husband Yeslam are half brothers. The bin Ladin fame did not start with Osama. Although you all only associate bin Ladin with Osama, the middle east has known them to be the premier construction family, who pushed Saudi into modernism and the 21st cent... Read More
