Feel free to add more :) A visa is not a credit card. ... Your refer to your dad's friends as Amoo. .. You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkin seeds... Your parents say you're becoming Americanized anytime you get into trouble. You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic. You can spot an Arab a mile away and they have spotted at you because they keep staring. After a family meal, the women fight to the death over who should wash the dishes while the men sit on their behin... Read More

so, it looks like the deal will be done today. there has been speculation for the past month or so, that Ron Artest may have actually ended up as a Laker. this would have given the Lakers a very strong defensive presence and a much needed second scoring option. unfortunately, what the Pacers wanted back in return was too much for the Lakers to let go. Odom and Bynum were off the table. obviously, Kobe is, and rightly so, untouchable. i had secretly hoped to land Artest but wasn't willing to give up on Odom j... Read More

The Majority is not a Proof that something is Correct =================================== =================================== = From the greatest of their principles was that they would be deluded by the majority, using that to determine the correctness of a matter. They would also determine the falsehood of something if it was strange and that its adherents were few. So Allaah brought them the opposite of that, clarifying this in many places of the Qur'aan. the explanation ============= From ... Read More
January 27, 2006 at 2:31amDifferences emerge through contexts. 7th century desert outposts of Arabia provide a different context than say the civilizations of Rome/Byzantine and Iran or Egypt. It is th...
January 27, 2006 at 2:11am"lack of tolerance for differences", ok, so you ADMIT there are differences, so my question still stands: what GOOD are those differences for YOU to want them to continue or wel...
January 27, 2006 at 1:47amIt is not differences that have caused bloodshed. Rather, it�s the lack of tolerance for differences. I think this is a basic lesson we should have learned after 1400 years.

i think its fair to say that in most civilised societies there are a few recognised carnal sins. not a huge number, so as not to be oppressivley restrictive for the average joe, but a few choice carnal sins, which contravene any even distressed standard of public ethic. killing, raping, steeling being three of the most obvious. a fourth, possibly more important one, i have noticed, has been in severe danger of being relegated to the distant foggy memory of primordial man, in this world of warped surreal a...

Everyone! Woooh...had a really crazy busy day at work today. Hope all of you had a more relaxing one! Ok here's what I wanted to ask y'all... Why is Israel so hated by Muslims worldwide? On a broader level, why have Jews been the most hated race of peoples in history? Please discuss the basis for this hatred and whether you feel it is/is not justified.
January 30, 2006 at 10:59amWell it's nice to see that you are able to distinguish the good seeds from the mostly spineless ones among the Palestinians. Not sure if it was you or someone else that stated t...
January 29, 2006 at 1:39pmSophisty, we Muslims have been saying that for years. "The enemies of Islam are just trying to make them look bad". I've been saying that for half my life...until one day it daw...
January 29, 2006 at 8:21amAragorn: Now I am much clearer than earlier on re: what you were saying. Well if this is the basis for you not supporting them (them being Palestinians)...that they use illegiti...

How do you as a teacher deal with class management? Do you have any good strategies that would prevent disruptive behavior? Do you use rewards and incentives? Does anyone know good websites or articles regarding class management?
February 20, 2006 at 2:37pmThanks for all your suggestions. I am a rotary teacher. I basically take students out for ESL or I cover planning time for other teachers. So I don't have my own classroom. ...
February 4, 2006 at 8:12amSalaamu alaikum, I thought I'd add a little to the good advice you've already recieved from many others. Classrooom management is certainly a big topic. It takes practi...

Dr. Zaki Badawi, principal of the Muslim College and founder of the Imams and Mosques Council (UK) passed away on Tuesday 24th January. Dr Badawi made a great contribution to the well-being of the Muslim community through his scholarship and his tireless efforts to promote inter-faith dialogue between the communities in the UK. May God grant his family, friends and students the patience and perseverance to bear this great loss. We belong to God and to Him is our return.

February 1, 2006 at 5:37pmIt's a loss for all of us. He was a great scholar, I wish I'd had the chance to attend one of his lectures.
January 28, 2006 at 7:48ami disagreed with a few things he said. but i always believed he was a forward-thinking scholar. often he was sidelined by the muslim community, which just goes to show how exclu...

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer." The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large "kegs". Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and th...

----- Original Message ----- From: Anwar Khan Subject: My recent trip to Pakistan and Bangladesh Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 19:37:36 -0800 (PST) Dear Helpers; During my visit to Pakistan I had an opportunity to visit Balakot and surrounding areas. As you know Balakot and Muzzafarabad are one of the most effected areas. There are many activities in progress that will improve the situation in the long run but they still need more help and assistance both in the short term and long run. Altogethe... Read More

Although the title maybe misleading, I think that google is not doing what it is supposed to be doing, i.e. providing free access to all. Don't believe me, read for yourself. news.bbc.co.uk
