The Owner of the Largest Private Collection of Islamic Art Known to Exist Anywhere in The World- in Art
God Is Great Matthew Swibel, 03.28.05 Forbes.com **** Londoners spurned his collection of Islamic art. Now billionaire David Khalili is giving it to them again, whether they want it or not. **** It's hard to know when art maven and real estate investor Nasser David Khalili first felt a craving for legitimacy. Could it have been when his teacher at a Jewish day school in Tehran, Iran ridiculed and flunked him for aspiring to genius? "I was outspoken, and I wanted to prove... Read More
July 27, 2005 at 1:16amJasmine, When the largest private Islamic Art collection is with a non-muslim then this becomes very interesting. I know muslims don't really make it a point to spend much on pr...

Is the Met's shoot-to-kill policy justified? Jean Charles de Menezes was killed at Stockwell tube station because of a shoot-to-kill policy against suspect suicide bombers. This policy was only revealed after last week's shooting. Bear in mind that similar proposals for combatting IRA terrorism were rejected 20 years ago . From yesterday's Guardian. Aamer Anwar is a Glasgow-based human rights lawyer --- Shoot-to-kill is justified only if you get the... Read More

I just heard that H. Ward of the Steelers may hold out of the training camp because of a contract issue. Currently he is the 37th highest paid WR in the league. C'mon now, even though I can't stand him as a Steeler, but in my opinion he is the best all round receiver in the league. He has made four consecutive Pro Bowls, and still is the 37th highest paid player at his position. Gimme a break. What do you guys think?????
July 27, 2005 at 11:18amThey also have Heath Miller now, a pass catching tight end.

Hey everyone. I'm about to start training as an accountant in Britain. Could anyone tell a bit about what to expect from the industry. Nothing big, for example will it really hard or will it be a problem that I don't drink alcohol (I understand that there is a bit of socializing expected). Contact me however and if anyone doesn't mind chatting to me about this, let me know.

Written by 3amo: Gerry Loughran The Arab appetite for sport is voracious and the menu is titillating. Increasingly, however, the tariff is too high. In a wide-ranging survey of the status of sport in the Arab world, I met several administrators who talked eloquently and eagerly of their specialty, only to add sadly: "Of course, it's a rich man's sport now." Skiing, sailing, shooting, riding and motor rallying all come within this category. But the broader-based sports, aided by increasing internat... Read More

I know that it is fine for one person to propose to another face to face regardless of sex, but would it be 'appropriate' for a girl to ask her parents to arrange a marriage to a boy rather than waiting for the boy's parents to do the arranging? This does not affect me (since I am not a women), but a friend of mine.
July 30, 2005 at 10:22amWomen ask for divorce, they sure as hell can ask for marriage. Right Docali? );

More Americans Getting Hooked on Hookahs Sat Dec 4, 5:01 PM ET Health - HealthDay By E.J. Mundell HealthDay Reporter SATURDAY, Dec. 4 (HealthDayNews) -- The practice of smoking tobacco through elaborate water pipes called hookahs emerged centuries ago, in the palaces and harems of the Middle East. But experts say hookahs are now almost as popular in Denver as they are in Damascus, with the current fad for water-pipe use growing among U.S. college students. Many young Americans may be attracted to ho... Read More

As I was walking into work today, I was thinking about all these suicide bombings. Since I have been reading about the life of Rasullah, something occurred to me. Rasullah was a prophet, and had a special connection in understanding Allah's will. Therefore when he said that martyrs (OF HIS TIME) were destined for heaven. That was absolutely true. How can any religious leader today make the same statements to people of today? Maybe there's a fundamental disagreement with how the Quran is interpreted? I t... Read More

You haven't asked yet. I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life. Because I just love hearing this question. Just lucky, I guess. It gives my mother something to live for. My fiancee is awaiting his/her parole. I'm still hoping for a shot at Miss/Mr. America. I'm waiting until I get to be your age. It didn't seem worth a blood test. I already have enough laundry to do, thank you. Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating. I wouldn't want my... Read More

there are some fobbilarius commercials on that station. my son will stop what he's doing and stare at the Kabab King commercial with his mouth open. mmm hmm nothin like a nice, big, oily kabab... or maybe he's attracted to the bhangra dancers in the background.
