I wore  the short skirt complete with black shiny nylon briefs (we called them  "spankies," for God's sake) over my underwear to school, to class,  usually three days a week, for all four years of high school and two  years of junior high. I was a cheerleader every damn year, forever and  ever. And when I heard that a high school banned its own cheerleaders'  short skirts from class, I was happy about it.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Not for the reason you'd think.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Are the skirts these days obscenely short?  Yes. I really do think they are in the context of class, when you have  to sit in a desk and people are like two inches away from you. It's  really hard to sit comfortably without showing more than you want to in a  cheerleading skirt. Especially the newer ones without pleats. The end.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;I always thought it was totally stupid that  cheerleaders had to wear their uniforms to school, but I never really  thought about it until now. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;None of the sports teams wore their uniforms  to school in my high school.

And that’s too bad, because Mr. Hunstman has been willing to say the unsayable about the G.O.P. — namely, that it is becoming the “anti-science party.” This is an enormously important development. And it should terrify us...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mr. Perry, the governor of Texas, recently made headlines by dismissing evolution as “just a theory,” one that has “got some gaps in it” — an observation that will come as news to the vast majority of biologists. But what really got people's attention was what he said about climate change: “I think there are a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects. And I think we are seeing almost weekly, or even daily, scientists are coming forward and questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The second part of Mr. Perry’s statement is, as it happens, just false: the scientific consensus about man-made global warming — which includes 97 percent to 98 percent of researchers in the field, according to the National Academy of Sciences — is getting stronger, not weaker, as the evidence for climate change just keeps mounting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Of course, we know what’s motivating Mr. Romney’s sudden lack of conviction. According to Public Policy Polling, only 21 percent of Republican voters in Iowa believe in global warming (and only 35 percent believe in evolution). Within the G.O.P., willful ignorance has become a litmus test for candidates, one that Mr. Romney is determined to pass at all costs...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;President George W. Bush’s chief economic advisers famously put it — to a general denigration of hard thinking about matters economic. Pay no attention to “fancy theories” that conflict with “common sense,” the Journal tells us. Because why should anyone imagine that you need more than gut feelings to analyze things like financial crises and recessions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Now, we don’t know who will win next year’s presidential election.

His canvasses sold for millions of dollars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His depictions  of naked Hindu deities enraged Hindus who attacked his house, vandalized  shows displaying his work and drove him to flee India. For years,  galleries were too frightened of protests to display his work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In  2006, he moved from Mumbai to Dubai, later London, and in 2010 accepted  Qatari citizenship, a step that led to much soul-searching in India over  whether the world’s largest democracy could guarantee artistic  freedoms.&lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/offbeat/article451494.ece"&gt;ReadMore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-3491112395247737499?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/3491112395247737499/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/06/indias-picasso-husain-passes-away-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/3491112395247737499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/3491112395247737499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/06/indias-picasso-husain-passes-away-in.html' title='‘India’s Picasso’ Husain passes away in London'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dcMfZMkNtxg/TfIQP45mDnI/AAAAAAAAA04/9wGKuz2St0w/s72-c/off_picasso.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-5817200932603400532</id><published>2011-06-09T05:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-09T05:27:08.423-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ރޭޕުކުރުމުގެ ކުށުގައި ޕާކިސްތާން މީހެއްގެ މައްޗަށް މަރުގެ ޙުކުމް އިއްވައިފި</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="rtl" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:faruma;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:faruma;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;div dir="rtl" align="justify"&gt;ސައޫދީޢަރަބިއްޔާގައި ދިރިއުޅެމުންގެންދާ ޕާކިސްތާނު މީހެއްގެ މައްޗަށް މަރުގެ ޙުކުމް އަތުވެއްޖެއެވެ. ސަޢޫދީގެ ކޯޓަކުން ޕާކިސްތާނުގެ ބަސް ޑްރައިވަރެއްގެ މައްޗަށް މަރުގެ ޙުކުމް އިއްވާފައިވަނީ އަންހެންކުއްޖަކު ރޭޕުކުރިކަމުގެ ތުހުމަތުގައެވެ. އެކުއްޖާ ރޭޕުކޮށްފައިވަނީ އޭނާ ދުއްވާ ބަސްތެރޭގައިކަމަށްވެއެވެ. އަދި ރޭޕުކުރުމަށްފަހު އެކުއްޖާ ބްލެކްމެއިލް ކުރުމަށް އޭނާ ގެންގުޅުނުފޯނުން އެތަން ވީޑިއޯވެސްކޮށްފައިވެއެވެ. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.raajjeislam.com/?file=8116"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:faruma;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div dir="rtl" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:faruma;font-size:130%;"  &gt;ބާކީ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:faruma;font-size:130%;"  &gt;

As of the end of March, the agency had not acted on his recommendation that the lawyer be disciplined.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Kotz told Congress that the agency’s  information technology security group gave him “lists of SEC employees  or contractors who had numerous attempts to access pornographic websites  from SEC computers” that were blocked by the agency’s Internet filter.  But in some instances, “they successfully accessed pornography or  inappropriate material.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Kotz’s report covers Oct. 1 last year to  March 31 this year. In four instances, Kotz wrote, his office found the  actions serious enough to open investigations&lt;/p&gt;a staff accountant at SEC headquarters  invoked the Fifth Amendment and declined to testify after the agency’s  computer security office alleged he used his government computer  “hundreds of times” in attempts to view porn and was successful at  viewing “numerous” sexually-explicit photographs. “Many…were accessed  during normal SEC working hours,” the report said. As of the end of the  reporting period, SEC managers were proposing the accountant’s  “removal.”  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;--earlier this year, SEC officials also  proposed removing a staff attorney in Washington for allegedly viewing  about 70 photos of partially- or fully-nude women on his agency  computer. He also declined to testify and, as of the end of March, SEC  officials had proposed he be removed from his job.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;--a second staff attorney resigned after  being investigated for accessing porn, including searching for porn  “during normal SEC work hours.”&lt;a href="http://www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2011/05/31/3-sec-employees-investigated-viewing-porn-job/"&gt;READMore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1529674405463052053?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1529674405463052053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/05/3-more-sec-employees-investigated-for.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1529674405463052053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1529674405463052053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/05/3-more-sec-employees-investigated-for.html' title='3 More SEC Employees Investigated for Viewing Porn on the Job'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-1366467733861768387</id><published>2011-05-31T23:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-31T23:04:05.578-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Notorious Child-Porn Photos Lead To Record Prison Sentence</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Details pulled five years ago by an investigator in France from a  notorious series of obscene Internet photographs resulted in the  imposition Tuesday of what is believed to be most severe sentence ever  in a Connecticut child pornography prosecution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A federal judge in  Bridgeport sentenced truck driver William Oehne, who is 50 years old,  to 45 years in prison for taking pornographic photographs of the  9-year-old daughter of a former girlfriend and using the Internet to  distribute the images to pedophiles around the world.

Occasionally, husbands use the website for adventures: to  make friendships with members of the opposite gender. This doesn’t  always remain unnoticed by their wives, who then start spying on them.  They refuse to let their husbands add any female friends to their  friends’ list.&lt;/strong&gt;              &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" class="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some wives discover that their husbands  are having a good time making friendships with other women and lie  about their social status. This leads to extreme situations, in which  they ban their husbands from Facebook. Others make fake accounts and add  their husband, so that they can catch them red-handed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“A wife  that allows her husband to have a Facebook account is crazy,” said  Fatima Shaker, a housewife. Fatima suffered a lot because of her  husband’s adventures with other women on Facebook. She said that she  wished to delete his account. He promised her when he first joined the  social network to use it the right way, but slowly it got out of  control.&lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article377637.ece"&gt;ReadMore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-4950239317339599017?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/4950239317339599017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/breakup-in-marriage-blame-it-on-social.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4950239317339599017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4950239317339599017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/breakup-in-marriage-blame-it-on-social.html' title='Breakup in marriage?

Printed in Bangalore, the translation has been published by The American Institute of Islamic History and Culture, California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Introducing his work, Dr. Nazeer told the media-persons, the translation is in simple American English and is primarily meant to introduce its message to the Americans whose minds had been abused by the misleading propaganda by vested interests linking Islam to terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first copy was released by Maulana Riyazur Rahman Rashadi, Imam at the Jama Masjid in Bangalore city. He presented the first copy to A. Jayaram, a veteran journalist, and formerly resident editor of The Hindu. Speaking on the occasion, Jayaram said Islam was a religion of peace and its image has been greatly maligned in the recent days in the wake of 9/11 attack on the WTC. He said people confuse several of the cultural norms prevalent in various lands with the scriptural text and interpret the religion. He said Burkha was not exclusive to Muslims, and even Hindu, Jain, Jewish and Christian women observe hijab in varied forms and in various regions of the world.&lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/islam/article377511.ece"&gt;ReadMore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-5835903808223140579?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/5835903808223140579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-quran-translation-released.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/5835903808223140579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/5835903808223140579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-quran-translation-released.html' title='New Qur’an translation released'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yWacq-ZV0eA/TbtpeyazGvI/AAAAAAAAAyY/pg48moEFDhA/s72-c/566912940_da5559fb8e.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-6140892837845032606</id><published>2011-04-29T07:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-29T07:14:39.879-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UK: More anti-monarchy protesters arrested</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZSlDwE14WA/TbrHsw8rhUI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/uUmIZ9rm-c0/s1600/sara20110429070132607.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LZSlDwE14WA/TbrHsw8rhUI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/uUmIZ9rm-c0/s320/sara20110429070132607.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601008658456216898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt;London police have arrested three more  anti-monarchy protesters, trying to perform a mock execution of Prince  Andrew with a guillotine on the royal wedding's eve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt;Three protesters demonstrating against the monarchy through a  theatrical show have been arrested and jailed at Lewisham police  station. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt;Professor Chris Knight, a principle member of the G20 Meltdown  group, was arrested in south east London at 6.15pm.

If proven to exist, the Higgs particle could explain why matter has mass, an enormous scientific breakthrough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The note is certainly genuine,” spokesman James Gillies told The Associated Press on Tuesday. But he said such memos are merely the very first step in a rigorous peer-review process that tends to result in spectacular claims being knocked down by other scientists.&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“I think the excitement is due mainly to the incredible sense of anticipation there is in particle physics at the moment,” said Gillies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Thousands of researchers around the world are poring over data generated at CERN’s $10-billion Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, and many expect it to produce significant discoveries about the makeup of matter and other mysteries of the universe in the years to come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“The Higgs really is the Holy Grail of particle physics and that’s why this is so important,” said Phillip F. Schewe, a spokesman for the American Institute of Physics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Previously, much of the initial debate would have taken place behind closed doors. But the buzz surrounding the Large Hadron Collider and the development of social media networks means even early-stage science is leaking out and quickly spreading worldwide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“It’s unusual for this sort of specific, detailed material to be made public,” said Peter Woit, a physicist at Columbia University on whose blog the memo first appeared last week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Woit said he chose not to suppress the posting, as it had already generated dozens of comments by the time he saw it — many of them skeptical. “This was accurate information of interest to my blog readers,” he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The note was posted anonymously, but carried the names of four researchers working at CERN’s Atlas experiment. Atlas is one of four giant detectors built to record high-energy proton collisions inside the collider’s 17-mile (27-kilometer) tunnel beneath the Swiss-French border. The memo claims that abnormal measurements seen at a particular energy level are “the first definitive observation of physics beyond the standard model.” The authors of the note either declined or didn’t respond to AP requests for comment. But Jon Butterworth, a physicist at University College London who also works with Atlas, said it was unfortunate the memo had been published.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“It’s quite an overstated communication,” he said, adding that about 30 such notes are circulated among Atlas scientists each week. Few make it into peer-reviewed journals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Schewe compared the leaking of the memo to WikiLeaks’ publication of US foreign policy documents. “It’s embarrassing, but probably in the long run not so bad,” he said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-4803977546301331857?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/4803977546301331857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/cern-physics-lab-downplays-claim-of-key.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4803977546301331857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4803977546301331857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/cern-physics-lab-downplays-claim-of-key.html' title='CERN physics lab downplays claim of key discovery'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-690254803240171218</id><published>2011-04-24T22:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T22:22:32.553-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Indian guru Sai Baba passes away</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3bhoS-Z04-c/TbUE7k9RpdI/AAAAAAAAAxo/6SOn2ufuB9I/s1600/indexrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 197px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3bhoS-Z04-c/TbUE7k9RpdI/AAAAAAAAAxo/6SOn2ufuB9I/s320/indexrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599387133284558290" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Indian spiritual guru Sri Sathya Sai Baba, respected by  millions of followers, died on Sunday in a hospital in southern India.  He was 86. Sai Baba, who was admitted to hospital in his hometown of  Puttaparti a month ago, died of multiple organ failure, media said. &lt;/strong&gt;              &lt;div class="body"&gt;&lt;p&gt;His followers, estimated to number six  million, included top Indian politicians, business tycoons and Bollywood  stars. Sai Baba, with distinctive frizzy hair and always clad in his  trademark saffron robes, ran schools and hospitals through trusts in  numerous countries.&lt;/p&gt;He survived a stroke and a series of heart attacks in 1963. In 2005,  he began using a wheelchair, and a year later he fractured his hip when a  student fell from a stool onto him.&lt;p&gt;Sai Baba was also mired in controversies, with several news reports about allegations of sexual abuse and fake miracles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A  2004 BBC television program called the “Secret Swami” featured  interviews with at least two American male devotees who claimed the guru  had fondled their genitals and exposed himself to them while claiming  it was part of a healing ritual.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Though he denied the allegations and was never charged with any crime, the reports led some to break with the guru.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  ashram also said Sai Baba had survived an attempt against his life,  with six devotees, including the guru’s personal assistant, killed in  his bedroom in June 1993 after allegedly trying to attack him. Facts of  the case remain a mystery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sai Baba was never married and has no children.&lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/offbeat/article371743.ece"&gt;READMORE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-690254803240171218?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/690254803240171218/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/indian-guru-sai-baba-passes-away.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/690254803240171218'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/690254803240171218'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/indian-guru-sai-baba-passes-away.html' title='Indian guru Sai Baba passes away'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3bhoS-Z04-c/TbUE7k9RpdI/AAAAAAAAAxo/6SOn2ufuB9I/s72-c/indexrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-2845853024653154120</id><published>2011-04-24T21:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T22:03:25.459-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Germany expels openly homophobic imam</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hamX1jbOYh0/TbUAdLgD6LI/AAAAAAAAAxg/6nRb3Y5wTQE/s1600/indexfffff.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 160px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hamX1jbOYh0/TbUAdLgD6LI/AAAAAAAAAxg/6nRb3Y5wTQE/s320/indexfffff.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599382213008550066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Authorities in Germany have ordered  the expulsion of a visiting Islamic preacher who argues that homosexuals  should be condemned to death.

Hundreds have signed up to  a Facebook group promising a three-hour kiss-in at the Snow, and the  Guardian has — half-jokingly — offered rolling coverage of the  controversy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The kiss-in’s organizer, 50-year-old Paul Shetler,  said he first heard about the incident on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I found it  very disturbing because I knew of two separate incidents when gay  couples were barred from pubs in the past month,” he said. “I imagine  that it must be humiliating for the couple and I didn’t think we should  let that pass.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shetler said that even in Soho, an area bedecked  with rainbow flags and dotted with gay clubs, some still thought that  “it’s OK to be queer in a gay club, but not in a straight place — which  is not acceptable.” Neither Williams nor Bull returned requests for  comment, but in a series of messages Williams expressed wonder at the  speed with which the gay community had rallied to his defense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wednesday  night “was my first ‘The Power of Twitter’ moment,” he wrote in a post  to the micro-blogging website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Thank you very much everyone.” As  to whether they’d be seeing each other again, Bull assured his Twitter  followers that the two had “already arranged a second date before we  even got to the &lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/offbeat/article361444.ece"&gt;pub!&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-4566488966760680508?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/4566488966760680508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/london-pub-kicks-out-kissing-gay-couple.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4566488966760680508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4566488966760680508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/london-pub-kicks-out-kissing-gay-couple.html' title='London pub kicks out kissing Gay couple'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-y0QE9FOW2bY/Tamv6iGJ18I/AAAAAAAAAxY/UPCX2VdFdAw/s72-c/jnbjnkj.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-1826706389414121469</id><published>2011-04-16T07:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T07:50:32.971-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Aviation controllers need naps on the job: Scientists</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The best solution to the problem of sleepy air traffic controllers (ATCs) is more sleeping on the job, scientists say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that would be a radical change for the Federal Aviation Administration.

That’s the way to handle night shift work,” said Gregory Belenky, a sleep expert at Washington State University in Spokane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;There are plenty of other scientists in the US and around the world who agree with him. Sleep studies show that nighttime workers who are allowed “recuperative breaks” are more alert when they return to their tasks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;A working group on controller fatigue made up of officials from the FAA and the union that represents air traffic controllers recently embraced that position as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The issue has taken on a new urgency in the wake of four recent episodes in which the FAA says controllers fell asleep while on duty. The most recent case occurred this week when the pilot of a plane transporting a critically ill passenger was unable to raise the sole controller working at 2 a.m. in the tower of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The FAA said the controller was out of communication for 16 minutes. Controllers at a regional radar facility in California assisted the plane, which landed safely. The episodes have sent administration officials scrambling to assure the public and angry members of Congress that air travel is indeed safe. Even President Barack Obama weighed in, telling ABC News in an interview, “We’ve got it under control,” and warning controllers they must stay alert and do their jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“The fact is when you’re responsible for the lives and safety of people up in the air, you better do your job,” he said in an interview Friday with ABC television.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;In fact, the FAA and the controllers union — with assistance from NASA and the Mitre Corp., among others — has come up with 12 recommendations for tackling sleep-inducing fatigue among controllers. Among those recommendations is that the FAA change its policies to give controllers on midnight shifts as much as two hours to sleep plus a half-hour to wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;That would mark a profound change from current regulations that can make sleeping controllers subject to suspension or dismissal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said on Friday the FAA administrator and the air controllers’ union president would be visiting control towers around the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“That’s part of the top to bottom review so we can hear from controllers about what goes on in those control towers late at night and early in the morning and try to do better for them and the work they have to do,” LaHood told NBC television. Despite the focus on budget-cutting in Washington, LaHood promised to work with Congress to ensure there’s enough money to keep control tower staffing at levels that ensure safety. The FAA is adding a second overnight air traffic controller at more than two dozen airports around the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Yet, at most air traffic facilities, it’s common for two controllers working together at night to engage in unsanctioned sleeping swaps whereby one controller works two jobs while the other controller naps and then they switch off, present and former controllers told The Associated Press. The controllers requested not to be named because they didn’t want jeopardize their jobs or coworkers’ jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;More than two decades ago, NASA scientists concluded that airline pilots were more alert and performed better during landings when they were allowed to take turns napping during the cruise phase of flights. The FAA chose to ignore recommendations that US pilots be allowed “controlled napping.” But other countries, using NASA’s research, have adopted such policies for their pilots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Several countries — including France, Germany, Canada and Australia — also permit napping by controllers during breaks in their work shifts, said Peter Gimbrere, who heads the controllers association’s fatigue mitigation effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Germany even provides controllers sleep rooms with cots, he said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Sleep scientists long have known that fatigue affects human behavior much like alcohol, slowing reaction times and eroding judgment. People suffering from fatigue sometimes focus on a single task while ignoring other, more urgent needs.Arabnews&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1826706389414121469?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1826706389414121469/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/aviation-controllers-need-naps-on-job.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1826706389414121469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1826706389414121469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/aviation-controllers-need-naps-on-job.html' title='Aviation controllers need naps on the job: Scientists'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-4383129475099488857</id><published>2011-04-15T19:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-15T19:43:49.107-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Former Miss Russia accused of stealing drugs</title><content type='html'>A former Miss Russia faced drug charges in the United States for a second time on Tuesday, allegedly using stolen prescription pads to obtain painkillers and other drugs from pharmacies in New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anna Malova pleaded not guilty in state Supreme Court in Manhattan to 44 charges of petty larceny, forgery and criminal possession of controlled substances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The indictment compiled by the city's Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor includes 11 instances in which Malova allegedly forged prescriptions to obtain the painkiller Vicodin and the anti-anxiety drug clonazepam, which is marketed as Klonopin, using pads she stole from two psychiatrists she had been seeing.&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The former beauty queen had been arrested in 2010 on similar charges in a case brought by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. That case is still pending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Office of Special Narcotics Prosecutor began investigating Malova after one of the psychiatrists reported the theft of her pad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malova was crowned Miss Russia in 1998, and was a top-ten finalist in the Miss Universe pageant later that year. She later moved to New York to work as a model, said her attorney, Robert Gottlieb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had originally trained as a doctor in Russia but was not licensed to practice in the United States, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judge agreed on Tuesday to a request by Malova's attorney that she be evaluated for the state's judicial diversion program, in which she could avoid a potential jail sentence and have the charges dismissed, instead getting court-monitored treatment for drug addiction. The prosecution did not object to the evaluation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She has already begun very serious rehabilitation long before the indictment today," Gottlieb told Reuters after the hearing. "She has participated in in-patient treatment at a highly reputable treatment centers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said he hoped that Malova would be able to enter into the judicial diversion program without having to enter a guilty plea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She's not a citizen so in order to avoid her being deported we want to have criminal charges dismissed," Gottlieb said, adding that Malova is living in the United States on a green card that grants permanent residence.&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/13/us-beautyqueen-russia-idUSTRE73C4R520110413"&gt;reuters.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-4383129475099488857?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/4383129475099488857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/former-miss-russia-accused-of-stealing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4383129475099488857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4383129475099488857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/04/former-miss-russia-accused-of-stealing.html' title='Former Miss Russia accused of stealing drugs'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-6287435817992999093</id><published>2011-04-15T04:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-15T04:09:39.882-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dealing With Homosexual Urges...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XQ965pjebgs/TagnTyghrMI/AAAAAAAAAxI/Fqkc_SgK54w/s1600/nknlkn.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 116px; height: 120px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XQ965pjebgs/TagnTyghrMI/AAAAAAAAAxI/Fqkc_SgK54w/s320/nknlkn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595765757937036482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Q: Shaykh, I have unnatural urges and feel attracted to members of the same gender. I don’t know what to do about this, can you please give me some advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A:&lt;br /&gt;Bismillah, alhamdulillah, wa-l-salaat wa-l-salaam ala Rasulillah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was actually asked the same question in Toronto, a few weeks ago. And while this is a very disturbing question to some people, it is something that needs to be mentioned and discussed publicly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is possible that some people have urges that are considered abnormal by others. Sometimes, from a religious perspective these urges would indeed be classified as abnormal. But simply having such urges does not justify acting upon them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue of sexual orientation has raised a huge controversy in Western circles. People are still debating whether sexual orientation is decreed by what they call ‘Nature’, or by ‘nurture’. And the reason for this debate is that there is a tendency to justify homosexual urges because, it is claimed, they are beyond one’s control. So, some people say: “My sexual orientation is something Nature has decreed. It’s in my DNA – my genes! So its not in my control whether I am attracted to the opposite gender or the same gender.”&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Such discussion is happening in the backdrop of what has been termed the ‘sexual revolution’, which began in full force in the 60′s and, some would argue, is still continuing to this day. People are more open about topics of sexuality, morality levels have radically changed, and it has become acceptable to espouse what has been termed ‘alternative life styles’. To give you just one example of how dramatic this revolution has been, many would be surprised to discover that even as recently as 50 years ago, Western culture viewed homosexuality with a very different lens. Up until 1973,  homosexuality was actually classified as a mental disease in America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;In our religion,  the discussion of whether these urges are because of ‘Nature’ or ‘nurture’ is really quite irrelevant. And by this I do not mean that we don’t have an answer to this question. As Muslims, we believe that the fitrah that Allah created us upon is that, in terms of sexuality at least, opposites attract. But it is possible that some people have corrupted this fitrah themselves, or it has been corrupted by external methods. And it cannot even be ruled out that for some, the change in this fitrah is beyond their control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;But the point  is – and that is why I say the question is irrelevant to the Shar’i ruling -  even if somebody has such urges, it does not justify them acting upon it. Rather, what we can say to those who feel attracted to the same gender is that having such urges and conquering them is a part of the test Allah has given them. Each one of us is tried in different ways, and merely wanting to do an act is not justification enough to carry it out. Imagine if we were to open this door, and legitimize acting upon an urge merely because it existed!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;And I firmly believe – and this is my theory, and it may be wrong -  that the primary reason why we are seeing a rise in such unnatural inclinations is because of the proliferation of sexual images and the increasement of public sexuality around us. What this proliferation has done is to desensitize us to that which we should not be desensitized to. We are constantly bombarded with images of the most beautiful women and the most handsome men, and such images are a temptation to those of the opposite gender. Wherever we look, whether its TV, advertisements, magazines, the internet, or even simply strolling down a public road, we constantly see the most sexually charged images possible. Sexuality is always flaunted in our faces. And the proliferation of such overt sexuality desensitizes our normal sexuality. It is amazing that looking at a scantily clad gorgeous model in an advert hardly elicits any sexual arousal amongst people of our generation, whereas just a few decades ago that very image might have been banned in some Western countries, or at least never displayed in public.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Can you imagine (I know it’s difficult to do so, but let us try!) growing up in a world where you have never seen an unrelated woman? Where you have never witnessed nudity? Where you have never gone through love affair after love affair? For the one who is raised in such a world, a person of ‘average’ beauty would be attractive to someone of the opposite gender.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;This unnatural emphasis that our modern world has on external beauty is simply dangerous. Typically, when a person is looking for a spouse, such a person should feel an attraction to somebody of a similar background and culture and age. Such is the way that Allah created us – a man is attracted to the natural beauty of a woman. And that is why in the past, for thousands of years, our own fathers, and forefathers before them, did not emphasize external beauty to even a fraction of what we do, and yet it can be argued, merely by looking at their divorce rates, that their marriages were far more successful than ours.  The whole emphasis on external beauty was simply unnatural to them. All of you know how your own parents and grandparents got married, and their grandparents before them. The groom comes, sees the bride, and, generally speaking, there is an attraction and the marriage takes place. Nowadays, on the other hand, the very notion of a pre-arranged marriage is a mockery that we would not subjugate ourselves to (and I am not suggesting here that we should – I’m merely pointing out how things have changed in just one generation). This emphasis that we have on ‘beauty’ and ‘compatibility’ is a very modern phenomenon. Of course I’m not suggesting that people in the past did not care about beauty, but what I am saying is that it was not anywhere near as emphasized as it is now. Also, since the generations before us were raised in environments where they were not subjected to the sight of sexual images everywhere, they would not compare their prospective spouses to the sensual images of world-famous models that have been seared into our heads as a result of our upbringing here. When we expect our spouses to look like the most beautiful/handsome people on Earth (and it must be pointed out that most pictures we see are not even real, having been digitally altered to look super-humanly sexy), this will only lead to trouble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;And so, when we have been bombarded with sexual images all the time, that which is naturally lustful loses its erotic nature. This then leads to being attracted to unnatural attractions. The bar for ‘sexual titillation’ rises higher and higher. It also explains certain sexual habits that are becoming more predominant between couples. While these habits might be halal and mubah in and of themselves, it does make us pause when we realize that people before us would disdain such practices and even consider some of them to be perverse. Once again, I reiterate that these practices might be halal, but the whole emphasis on sexual toys, sexual games, certain fetishes, and role playing, even between couples, is indicative of this sexually charged world we live in.  While these matters are halal, it does show that we are not satisfied with what is natural. Our desires become increasingly insatiable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;And so this is why we are seeing an increase in many unnatural and perverse desires. Homosexuality is on the rise amongst non-Muslims, and now also amongst Muslims. A few weeks ago I was in Toronto, and the exact same question came up, where a brother wrote the exact same thing. And he said: “Shaykh, I can’t help it. What advice do you give me? I can’t help feeling attracted to other men. This is the way I am. And I’m battling it, and I’m embarrassed of it,” and he even said: “I don’t even want to get married. The thought of getting married disgusts me”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;So, the question arises: what does a person who has such feelings do?  As I’ve said, the fact that you have such feelings doesn’t mean you act upon them. If Allah has tested you in this manner, then that is a part of your test and trial, and Allah says in the Qur’an, ‘And Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear.’ The claim that merely having an urge legitimizes it is extremely flimsy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;I say that I’m attracted to women. Does that legitimize going after every woman I’m attracted to? Of course not. We all have our desires and urges and we must all battle them. So if you experience urges that are unnatural, you must battle them, and without doubt Allah will reward you for that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Another point to realize is that the urge, in and of itself, is not sinful. It is simply a desire, and desires are beyond our control, hence we are not accountable for them. But to allow such feelings to persist without trying to control them is problematic. In any case, the urge in and of itself is not sinful, acting on the urge is what incurs sin. As long as the desire remains in the realm of feeling, you are not accountable on the Day of Judgment, but the second that this desire is manifested in a physical action, you are liable for all that follows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Lastly, even if you have acted upon this urge – and we seek Allah’s refuge from this – know that this would constitute a sin. Yes, a major sin, and one that most people would be disgusted by, but realize that it is a sin alone and not kufr. Hence, even acting upon it and committing a major sin does not expel you from the fold of Islam. However, to stand up and justify it, or defend it, or write articles claiming that it is Islamic, without a doubt constitutes kufr, and not merely sin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;So, my dear brother who wrote this question – and you are my brother in Islam, even if you have such feelings – I want you to know that I sympathize with you, and I also appreciate your honesty and sincerity. I advise you to seek counseling, and to go to people who will understand your situation and who can direct you in a more specific manner. I understand as well that if you go to many of the typical imams of the masjids, they would not sympathize with your situation at all and would probably make matters worse for you. I understand that you cannot go to such people. But you will find sympathetic ears to listen to your problem, insha’Allah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;And remember that marriage is a solution, so you should seriously consider it. The Prophet Lut ‘alayhis salam told his people, “These are my daughters, they are more pure for you.”  Some scholars say that when he said “daughters”, he is also implying the women of the town and not just his own daughters.

Nowadays, even flirty messages and photos of new lovers after a split are being used by ex-spouses as "ammunition" in divorce proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lawyers are advising couples to stop using Facebook and sites such as Second Life, Illicit Encounters and Friends Reunited until legal proceedings are finalized. Emma Patel, of Hart Scales &amp;amp; Hodges Solicitors, in Surrey, has dealt with 30 divorces since May, and all of them involved Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Suspicious spouses have used it to spy and find evidence of flirting and even affairs, which have then led to break-ups," she said, warning against "public slagging matches" on the site. &lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/lifestyle/offbeat/article240927.ece"&gt;arabnews.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1917147405194874563?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1917147405194874563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/facebook-blamed-for-divorces-in-britain.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1917147405194874563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1917147405194874563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/facebook-blamed-for-divorces-in-britain.html' title='Facebook blamed for divorces in Britain'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TT3IKJVQfSI/AAAAAAAAAvo/43NlSmyaAM0/s72-c/facebook_danger.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-8738135646492323485</id><published>2011-01-23T13:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T13:54:23.511-08:00</updated><title type='text'>'Second sun' on its way</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

Social networking websites are making us "less human" by isolating people from reality, a US academic claims. The way in which people frantically communicate online via social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook can be seen as a modern form of madness, according to the leading sociologist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sherry Turkle, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, writes in her new book, Alone Together: “A behaviour that has become typical may still express the problems that once caused us to see it as pathological.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She explains that people are become isolated from reality due to such social networking sites because technology is dominating our lives and making us "less human".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Under the illusion of allowing us to communicate better, technology is actually isolating us from real human interactions in a cyber-reality that is a poor imitation of the real world, she suggests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We have invented inspiring and enhancing technologies, yet we have allowed them to diminish us,” she writes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her warnings – and those from other cyber-sceptics – follow the death of Simone Back, a woman in Brighton who posted a suicide note on Facebook that was seen by more than 1,000 of her "friends".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet none of them called for help – instead trading insults with each other on her Facebook wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkle’s book has created significant attention in the US because her previous works, The Second Self and Life on the Screen, were most positive about changing technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/8276948/Social-networking-sites-are-a-modern-form-of-madness.html"&gt;telegraph.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1831620711302462676?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1831620711302462676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/social-networking-sites-are-modern-form.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1831620711302462676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1831620711302462676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/social-networking-sites-are-modern-form.html' title='Social networking sites are a &apos;modern form of madness&apos;'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TTyiV1SKCKI/AAAAAAAAAvY/l8MndJ36hGE/s72-c/twitter_1709698c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-2154844568079969223</id><published>2011-01-23T13:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T13:55:33.719-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Russians want Lenin removed from Red Square</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TTygJtJ-vcI/AAAAAAAAAvI/_2iBpehTEbo/s1600/Vlad_1809464c.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565499328123813314" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TTygJtJ-vcI/AAAAAAAAAvI/_2iBpehTEbo/s320/Vlad_1809464c.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Two-thirds of Russians want Vladimir Lenin to be removed from his Red Square mausoleum in central Moscow, a new poll has shown.The poll, organised by Vladimir Putin's ruling United Russia party, comes after a senior figure in the party sparked a lively debate on the issue, saying the time had come to respect Lenin's last wishes and bury him in St Petersburg alongside his mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lenin was an extremely controversial political figure and his presence as the main figure in a necropolis in the heart of our country is absurd," Anatoly Medinsky, an MP and member of the party's governing committee, said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only 10 per cent of Lenin's corpse remained, he said, alleging that the rest had been "ripped out and replaced a long time ago". The body's presence in a purpose-built mausoleum on Red Square had turned the country's central square into a cemetery and was "blasphemous", Mr Medinsky added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenin's waxy corpse remains a popular tourist attraction and is regularly treated with a special cocktail of chemicals to stop it from degrading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But with a parliamentary election looming later this year and a presidential poll next year, analysts believe that the ruling United Russia party may be considering closing the Red Square mausoleum in order to show the world it is serious about modernising the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The poll, organised online at a specially created site mischievously named Goodbye Lenin suggested that most Russians agreed. As of Sunday afternoon, almost 200,000 votes had been cast with more than two-thirds saying they favoured Lenin being buried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was possible to vote more than once however and the Russian Communist party, which is staunchly opposed to Lenin's removal, claimed the results were being rigged in order to pave the way for a bill ordering his burial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is about distracting people's attention from social problems and genuine issues concerning the Russian Federation," Valery Rashkin, a Communist MP, told the Ekho Moskvy radio station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lenin, who died in 1924, is still revered by the Russian Communist party as an ideological genius who laid the foundations for the world's largest superpower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/8276991/Russians-want-Lenin-removed-from-Red-Square.html"&gt;telegraph.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/8276991/Russians-want-Lenin-removed-from-Red-Square.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-2154844568079969223?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/2154844568079969223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/russians-want-lenin-removed-from-red.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/2154844568079969223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/2154844568079969223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/russians-want-lenin-removed-from-red.html' title='Russians want Lenin removed from Red Square'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TTygJtJ-vcI/AAAAAAAAAvI/_2iBpehTEbo/s72-c/Vlad_1809464c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-5422839465572462110</id><published>2011-01-02T22:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-02T22:26:28.527-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Depression</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TSFr-j3xpYI/AAAAAAAAAug/dMNs9wa9ROE/s1600/depression.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557842137677145474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TSFr-j3xpYI/AAAAAAAAAug/dMNs9wa9ROE/s320/depression.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity. Depressed people may feel sad, anxious, empty, hopeless, helpless, worthless, guilty, irritable or restless. They may lose interest in activities that once were pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, or problems concentrating, remembering details or making decisions; and may contemplate or attempt suicide. Insomnia, waking early, excessive sleeping, fatigue, loss of energy, or aches, pains or digestive problems that are resistant to treatment may be present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Physiology&lt;br /&gt;Depression is associated with changes in substances in the brain (neurotransmitters) that help nerve cells communicate, such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. The levels of these neurotransmitters can be influenced by genetics, hormonal changes, responses to medications, aging, brain injuries, seasonal/light cycle changes, and other medical conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Cure&lt;br /&gt;1. Seeking refuge in prayer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And seek help in patience and al-salaat (the prayer)…” [al-Baqarah 2:45].&lt;br /&gt;Hudhayfah said: “Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was grieved by something, he used to pray.” When Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) heard about the death of his brother, he stopped at the side of the road – as he was on a journey – and prayed, following the command of Allaah.&lt;br /&gt;Supplication for anxiety and sorrow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Understanding the reality of this world&lt;br /&gt;The believer knows that this world is only temporary, that its luxuries are few, and that whatever pleasures exist here are always imperfect. If it causes a little laughter, it gives many reasons to weep; if it gives a little, it withholds far more. The believer is only detained here, as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the kaafir.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Making the Hereafter one’s main concern&lt;br /&gt;The concerns of this world overwhelm and confuse people, but if the slave makes the Hereafter his main concern, Allaah will help him to focus and be determined, as was narrated by Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever has the Hereafter as his main concern, Allaah will fill his heart with a feeling of richness and independence; he will be focused and feel content, and this world will come to him in spite of it. Whoever has this world as his main concern, Allaah will cause him to feel constant fear of poverty; he will be distracted and unfocused, and he will have nothing of this world except what was already predestined for him.’”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Relying upon Allaah and entrusting matters to Him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a person relies upon Allaah and puts his trust in Him, he is not controlled by bad illusions. He trusts in Allaah and hopes for bounty from Him, which protects him from distress and worry, as well as many psychological and physical diseases. Thus his heart gains indescribable strength, relaxation and joy. The one who is truly free from problems is the one whom Allaah has freed and helped to strive against his/her own-self (jihaad al-nafs) by seeking beneficial means of strengthening his heart and dispelling anxiety. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“… And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him…”[al-Talaaq 65:3]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i.e., He will take care of everything that is of concern to him, whether it has to do with his religion or his worldly affairs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Constantly anticipating and being prepared for all possibilities&lt;br /&gt;If a person is prepared for the possibility of the loss of a loved one, the sickness of a relative, incurring a debt, being overpowered by an enemy, or any other unpleasant possibility that has not yet happened – whilst seeking refuge with Allaah and hoping to be safe from it – then if his fears materialize, their impact will not be so great because he has already anticipated them and prepared himself to deal with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One important point that we should make is the fact that many ambitious people are prepared to deal with major calamities in a calm and patient manner, but they are unduly worried and stressed by trivial problems. The reason for this is that they prepare themselves to face major problems, but forget to prepare themselves to cope with minor troubles, which consequently cause them harm. The prudent person prepares himself to deal with both major and minor problems, and asks Allaah to help him and not leave him to deal with it by himself for even the blink of an eye. Thus both major and minor troubles become easier to bear, and he remains calm and serene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. The person who is distressed or worried should know that after hardship comes ease&lt;br /&gt;So he should think positively and realize that Allaah will make a way out for him. The more intense his stress and depression is, the closer he is to relief and a way out.&lt;br /&gt;Allaah says in Soorat al-Sharh (interpretation of the meaning):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, verily, with the hardship, there is relief.” [al-Sharh 94:5-6].&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) advised Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father): “Know that victory (or achievement) comes through patience, and that ease comes through hardship…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dealing with Worries and Stress; English Translation; Book by Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hisnul Muslim &lt;a href="http://masmirus.blogspot.com/2010/09/depression.html"&gt;masmirus.blogspot.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-5422839465572462110?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/5422839465572462110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/depression.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/5422839465572462110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/5422839465572462110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2011/01/depression.html' title='Depression'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TSFr-j3xpYI/AAAAAAAAAug/dMNs9wa9ROE/s72-c/depression.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-726628851428482705</id><published>2010-12-17T01:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-17T02:02:37.368-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Focusing on Allah’s Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TQs1HBFZgnI/AAAAAAAAAuU/6SVLBSN6jlU/s1600/Beautiful-Wallpapers-12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551589360330703474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TQs1HBFZgnI/AAAAAAAAAuU/6SVLBSN6jlU/s320/Beautiful-Wallpapers-12.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It grieves me to see how people these days, especially among the younger generation, are almost wholly preoccupied with negativity: through baseless arguments, gossip, and useless talk. Their time and energies are constantly being wasted on fruitless distractions that squander their potential, foster enmity, and make them unmindful of Allah’s remembrance. These habits are like an addiction. They are hard to shake off, and they are as effective as any intoxicant in making people speak and act contrary to good sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the greatest way to repel such tendencies is to focus on Allah. This is not only a cure for negative thoughts and bigoted notions, but it provides relief for all the negativities, problems and worries of life. The remembrance of Allah calms and fortifies the soul. It cultivates fortitude and perseverance, moderates impatience, and repels depression and despair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remembering Allah is also very easy. It is accessible to everyone. There are no prerequisites to fulfill or procedures to follow. There are no permissions to be sought. The doors to Allah’s remembrance are open at all times, whether we have recently been engaged in worship or have recently committed a sin. We have the opportunity to remember Allah upon waking, whenever something good happens, when misfortune strikes, when we make a mistake, and whenever else we are given cause to be reminded of our Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been my experience that remembering Allah is the first step in treating all maladies, both physical and spiritual. It is a prescription for every person afflicted with bodily illness or spiritual doubt. It is equally suitable for the young and old, rich and poor, the powerful and the weak, since everyone is equally dependent on Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Anyone who takes time to consider the names of Allah will come to a surprising realization: not one of these names focuses on Allah’s punishment, anger or wrath. Instead, we find names that express His mercy, love, and kindness, others that communicate His knowledge and wisdom, those that speak about His greatness and majesty, as well as those that speak about His creative powers and providence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We find names like: the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Forgiving, the Source of Peace, the Bestower, the Provider, the Most Kind, and the Loving. There are no names like: “the Punisher”, “the Avenger”, or “the Wrathful”. The Qur’an speaks about Allah being “severe in punishment”, but this is actually a description of Allah’s punishment and not of Allah Himself. It is Allah’s punishment that is severe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of scholars have pointed out this distinction, among them Ibn Taymiyah who writes:&lt;br /&gt;None of Allah’s names denote anything terrible or bad. The consequences of Allah’s actions, however, can at times be described as bad. For instance, Allah says: “Announce, (O Muhammad) to My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, and that My punishment is a painful one.” [Sūrah al-Hijr: 49-50] and: “Indeed Your Lord is swift in punishing, and indeed He is Most-Forgiving, Merciful.” [Sūrah al-A`rāf: 167] and: “Know that Allah is severe in punishing and (know as well) that Allah is Most-Forgiving, Merciful.” [Sūrah al-Mā’idah: 98]&lt;br /&gt;Ibn al-Qayyim observes:&lt;br /&gt;Blessings and salvation are attained through Allah’s mercy, forgiveness, benevolence, and generosity. Therefore, we find these meanings attributed to Allah. As for Allah’s punishment and its consequences, these are among Allah’s creations, and as such, Allah is not called “the Punisher” or “the Wrathful”. This is an important difference. The former set of meanings is attributed to Allah directly while the latter are only used to describe His actions. This distinction can even be found in a single passage of the Qur’an, for instance: “Announce, (O Muhammad) to My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, and that My punishment is a painful one.” [Sūrah al-Hijr: 49-50]&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Umar al-Ashqar writes: “Names are not ascribed to Allah from the derivative attributes of His actions, such as His being severe or swift in punishing, or swift in reckoning…” These phrases are always descriptive of certain circumstances and we never see them directly attributed to Allah as names. Moreover, such descriptions only apply to the specific contexts in which they appear. Therefore, Allah is not described as being eternally in a state of anger or wrath, or of eternally dispensing punishment. By contrast, the meanings that Allah’s names convey are eternally and constantly applicable to Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, while beseeching Allah in prayer: “Evil is never applicable to You.” [Sahīh Muslim (771)] This means that Allah is perfectly and completely good in His essence, names, and attributes. He is praiseworthy in every way. His actions are full of wisdom and justice and they are always for the best. His names are all depictions of beauty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evil exists in the world that Allah created, since Allah’s wisdom dictated that He create a world containing both good and evil. It is in this way that evil can be understood to exist as a consequence of Allah’s actions as Creator, and Allah alone knows why the presence of evil in the world is for the best. It is something that goes beyond our limited human understanding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we regard all of Allah’s names together, we see a clear pattern. All of His names refer to benevolence, generosity, mercy, kindness, clemency, and forgiveness. This tells us something very important. It shows us that love is the foremost quality that we should focus on in our relationship with Allah. It is the quality that brings us nearest to Him, and it should govern how we conduct ourselves with others in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our love for Allah should transcend the fear we have of Him as well as the hopes we pin on His favor. This does not mean that we should fail to pin our hopes on Allah, nor that we should be devoid of feelings of awe or fear of Him, since Allah describes some of His righteous servants as follows: “They would vie with one other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and fear, and they were submissive unto Us.” [Sūrah al-Anbiyā’: 90]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also says: “Call upon your Lord humbly and in secret. Lo! He loves not those who are aggressors. Do no mischief on the Earth after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for Allah’s mercy is always near to those who do good.” [Sūrah al-A`rāf: 55-56]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the fact that Allah’s names praise Him for His mercy, clemency and kindness, means that these are the qualities that we should remind people of when we call them to Allah, and these are the qualities we should strive to cultivate in ourselves and our children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we affirm that the love of Allah is foremost, we must not be hesitant in doing so, fearing that our categorical commitment to Allah’s love means we should no longer fear Him or pin our hopes of salvation upon Him. All of these feelings are aspects of our relationship with Allah. They complement and reinforce one another. Once we understand this, we will find ourselves open to more goodness than ever before. Our deeds will be better for it, and we must know that Allah’s mercy far surpasses the merit of our best deeds. So we beseech Allah for His mercy and support, and ask Him never to leave us to our own efforts.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://islamtoday.com/artshow-242-3879.htm"&gt;islamtoday.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-726628851428482705?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/726628851428482705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/12/focusing-on-allahs-love.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/726628851428482705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/726628851428482705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/12/focusing-on-allahs-love.html' title='Focusing on Allah’s Love'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TQs1HBFZgnI/AAAAAAAAAuU/6SVLBSN6jlU/s72-c/Beautiful-Wallpapers-12.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-4624271770980345111</id><published>2010-12-06T22:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-06T22:40:26.091-08:00</updated><title type='text'>'Forest therapy' taking root</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TP3WGOSm7TI/AAAAAAAAAuM/mdnb11VEOyY/s1600/nn20080502f1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547825718394023218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 188px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TP3WGOSm7TI/AAAAAAAAAuM/mdnb11VEOyY/s320/nn20080502f1a.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;Researchers find that a simple stroll among trees has real benefits. For stressed-out workers, this may someday be a doctor's prescription: Walk around in the woods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scientists in Japan have been learning a lot in recent years about the relaxing effects of forests and trees on mental and physical health. Based on their findings, some local governments are promoting "forest therapy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experience shows that the scents of trees, the sounds of brooks and the feel of sunshine through forest leaves can have a calming effect, and the conventional wisdom is right, said Yoshifumi Miyazaki, director of the Center for Environment Health and Field Sciences at Chiba University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japan's leading scholar on forest medicine has been conducting physiological experiments to examine whether forests can make people feel at ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;One study he conducted on 260 people at 24 sites in 2005 and 2006 found that the average concentration of salivary cortisol, a stress hormone, in people who gazed on forest scenery for 20 minutes was 13.4 percent lower than that of people in urban settings, Miyazaki said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means that forests can lower stress and make people feel at ease, he said, noting that findings in other physiological experiments, including fluctuations in heart beats and blood pressure, support this conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Humans had lived in nature for 5 million years. We were made to fit a natural environment. So we feel stress in an urban area," Miyazaki said. "When we are exposed to nature, our bodies go back to how they should be."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taking a walk in a forest, or "forest bathing" as it is sometimes called, can strengthen the immune system, according to Li Qing, a senior assistant professor of forest medicine at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Li conducted experiments to see whether spending time in a forest increases the activity of people's natural killer (NK) cells, a component of the immune system that fights cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one, 12 men took a two-night trip to a forest in Nagano Prefecture in 2006, during which they went on three leisurely strolls and stayed in a hotel in the woods. Thirteen female nurses made a similar trip to another forest in the prefecture in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NK activity was boosted in the subjects in both groups, and the increase was observed as long as 30 days later, Li said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"When NK activity increases, immune strength is enhanced, which boosts resistance against stress," Li said, adding that forest therapy for immune-compromised patients may be developed within a few years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Li said the increase in NK activity can be attributed partly to inhaling air containing phytoncide, or essential wood oils given off by plants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miyazaki of Chiba University said forests gratify the five senses by providing the sounds of birds, cool air, green leaves, the touch of trees, wild plants and grasses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The atmosphere of forests makes people calm," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on studies on the effects of forests, the public and private sectors are now promoting forest therapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Forest Therapy Executive Committee, a group of researchers, other intellectuals and the government-affiliated National Land Afforestation Promotion Organization, started officially recognizing certain forests by granting the designations of Forest Therapy Base and Forest Therapy Road in 2006. The titles are given to forests that have been found by researchers through scientific evidence to have relaxing effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officials from the Forest Agency and the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry participate in the group as observers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A forest therapy base comprises a forest and walking paths typically managed by local governments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, 31 bases and four roads nationwide have gained such recognition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visitors to some of the therapy bases and roads have the option of taking part in various health programs, including medical checkups, breathing and aromatherapy classes, and guided walks with experts on forests and health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Akazawa Natural Recreation Forest in Agematsu, Nagano Prefecture, which was recognized as a forest therapy base in 2006, visitors can get free medical checkups among Japanese cypress trees on Thursdays. The forest is known as the Japanese birthplace of the concept of forest bathing in 1982.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some companies have come to use forest therapy for their employees' health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Shinano Municipal Government in Nagano Prefecture, which manages the Iyashi no Mori (Healing Forests) forest therapy base, has contracts with four companies, a town official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visitors to the forest therapy base can take part in various programs, including dietary management, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The formal designations have drawn more people to such towns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Oguni Municipal Government in Yamagata Prefecture said 1,280 people visited the Nukumidaira beech forest there in fiscal 2007, including some 100 people who took part in forest walking tours with "matagi" traditional hunters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Before we got the recognition (in 2006), there were not so many visitors to the woods. Now we can see some people in the forest even on weekdays," said Juro Watanabe, a town official in charge of forest therapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recognition as a forest therapy base can be a big help, said Shigetaka Harashima, manager of the forest therapy project for the Okutama Municipal Government in Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The town received official recognition in April 2008 and is now cooperating with experts to draw up therapy programs that will be available next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chiba University's Miyazaki said he hopes the number of forest therapy bases and roads will reach 100 nationwide over the next decade so people will have plenty of choices when they look for different types of forests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Some people like broadleaf forests and others prefer forests of conifer trees like hinoki cypress that give off a strong aroma," Miyazaki said. "I hope people try to find a forest that suits their tastes and visit them from time to time." &lt;a href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20080502f1.html"&gt;japantimes.co.jp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Research on Forest Therapy vs. Urban Stress....&lt;a href="http://www.californiagreensolutions.com/cgi-bin/gt/tpl.h,content=2017"&gt;read more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-4624271770980345111?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/4624271770980345111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/12/forest-therapy-taking-root.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4624271770980345111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/4624271770980345111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/12/forest-therapy-taking-root.html' title='&apos;Forest therapy&apos; taking root'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TP3WGOSm7TI/AAAAAAAAAuM/mdnb11VEOyY/s72-c/nn20080502f1a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-7911477295458249748</id><published>2010-11-18T12:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-18T12:28:51.575-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Seeing the Kaaba was ‘incredible,’ says South African who came on bicycle</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TOWL35fweTI/AAAAAAAAAuE/M-lBU1B07CI/s1600/26462_382860933581_607163581_4879344_5992748_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540988708992350514" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TOWL35fweTI/AAAAAAAAAuE/M-lBU1B07CI/s320/26462_382860933581_607163581_4879344_5992748_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;One of two young South African cyclists who rode all the way from &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cape-2-Mecca-Cycle-C2MC/330709716520#!/pages/Cape-2-Mecca-Cycle-C2MC/330709716520?v=photos&amp;amp;so=0&amp;amp;sb=0"&gt;Cape Town to Makkah&lt;/a&gt; has spoken of his happiness at finally being able to perform Haj.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nathim Cairncross, 28, and Imtiyaz Haron, 25, arrived in the holy city on Nov. 2, understandably exhausted after covering an estimated 11,000 kilometers in the space of nine months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They had told Arab News previously that they cycled to Makkah to physically prepare for the rigors associated with performing their first pilgrimage. "However, [Haj] was not as difficult as we thought it would be," Cairncross told Arab News from his base in Aziziyah on Tuesday. "Alhamdullillah it's gone very well. I think it was important not to get caught up in the crowds of people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that while they undertook the journey for many personal reasons, they also wanted to improve their spiritual wellbeing. "It was a very tough journey, and you definitely have to be open-minded and flexible," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their trek took them from South Africa through Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Palestine before finally arriving in the Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;"It wasn't just a religious journey," said Cairncross. "It was also about seeing Africa and the sights in other countries too."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that in Zimbabwe they did some voluntary work, teaching local children how to count, read and write.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cyclists did not encounter any serious problems on their journey, and were often very well looked after by the locals in the cities they traveled through. Both pedaled 80 to 100 kilometers a day and would rest from dusk till dawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There was ample food in Africa. We managed to get really good connections in the big cities. They offered us food, water and accommodation," added Cairncross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although language was a barrier, they picked up Arabic as they traveled through Syria and Jordan. This served them in good stead when they reached the Saudi border, where they were greeted and welcomed by border guards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the cyclists, who had seen so many famous landmarks on their arduous journey, by far the best sight they encountered was when they entered the Grand Mosque. "Seeing the Kaaba was incredible," said Cairncross. "That feeling you get, it was like the cherry on the cake. The wildlife, the nature throughout Africa, nothing compares."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added that once they reached Makkah, linking up with South African tour group Khidmatul Awaam, the cyclists decided to temporarily go their separate ways. "Me and Imtiyaz never spent time together when we went to the Grand Mosque or while we did our Haj. We thought it was important to be alone and surrounded by strangers," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cairncross also commended the organization of the pilgrimage, adding that a lot of credit must go to the Saudi authorities. He said from what he has seen, the Kingdom has constantly been improving its management of Haj every year. "We're still hoping to meet some of the Saudi Royal family," he added laughingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While he politely declined to say what he prayed for at Arafat, Cairncross did add that it was important to be as well prepared as possible when performing the pilgrimage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also said he and Haron planned to sell their bicycles in a bid to fund a plane ticket back to Cape Town. If that fails, he added, they hope a sponsor would step in to help them get home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Cairncross and Haron are students of Islamic law and have studied Shariah teachings and law. "I joined a university and completed a course in town planning and am working in the field of construction," Cairncross said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both of them are single and love sports. While Cairncross is interested in wind surfing along beaches and seas, Haron, an economics graduate, excels in kickboxing and mountain climbing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;a href="http://arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article193333.ece"&gt;Arabnews&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;(&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cape-2-Mecca-Cycle-C2MC/330709716520"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cape-2-Mecca-Cycle-C2MC/330709716520&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-7911477295458249748?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/7911477295458249748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/seeing-kaaba-was-incredible-says-south.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/7911477295458249748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/7911477295458249748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/seeing-kaaba-was-incredible-says-south.html' title='Seeing the Kaaba was ‘incredible,’ says South African who came on bicycle'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TOWL35fweTI/AAAAAAAAAuE/M-lBU1B07CI/s72-c/26462_382860933581_607163581_4879344_5992748_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-2347096611327682994</id><published>2010-11-11T09:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T09:44:23.916-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Timekeeper of Muslim world</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNwrR0g58bI/AAAAAAAAAt8/rtF1HMQc-7g/s1600/sup_clock.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538349226913296818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 181px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNwrR0g58bI/AAAAAAAAAt8/rtF1HMQc-7g/s320/sup_clock.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A giant clock on a skyscraper in Islam’s holiest city Makkah began ticking at the start of last Ramadan, amid hopes it will become the Muslim world’s official timekeeper. The Makkah Clock, which is considered the world’s largest, has four faces measuring 43 meters in diameter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sits 400 meters up what will be the world’s second-tallest skyscraper and largest hotel, overlooking the city’s Grand Mosque, which Muslims around the world turn to five times a day for prayer. “The Makkah Clock started with the order of King Abdullah ... one minute after midnight on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan 1431H,” the Saudi Press Agency said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 90 million pieces of colored glass mosaic embellish the sides of the clock, which has four faces each bearing a large inscription of the name “Allah”. It is visible from all corners of the city, the state news agency said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;The clock tower is the landmark feature of the seven-tower King Abdulaziz Endowment hotel complex, being built by the Saudi Binladin Group, which will have the largest floor area of any building in the world when it is complete. The residential tower is estimated to cost $3 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The clock is positioned on a 601-meter tower, which will become the second tallest inhabited building in the world. “Because of its position in front of the Grand Mosque the whole Islamic world will refer to Makkah time instead of Greenwich. The Makkah Clock will become a symbol for all Muslims,” said Hashim Adnan, a resident of Jeddah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The project is part of efforts to modernize the holy city and make it more capable of catering to pilgrims. Around two million Muslims visit the city each year for the annual Haj pilgrimage, a once-in-a-lifetime requirement for able-bodied Muslims, and 3.5 million pilgrims visit Makkah at other times of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Makkah Clock Royal Tower is the most prestigious hotel in the Middle East. The extensive project, called Abraj Al-Bait, features a five-star Fairmont hotel with over 1,000 guestrooms. The complex also includes a selection of residential offerings as well as retail space, restaurants and extensive convention facilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hotel is the focal point of the iconic Abraj Al-Bait Complex, which is part of the King Abdul Aziz Endowment Project, whose mandate it is to upgrade the precincts of the Two Holy Mosques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The complex includes seven towers with a total floor space of 15.6 million square feet and is adjacent to the Grand Mosque. The property joins Fairmont’s worldwide collection of iconic luxury hotels and is an addition to the company’s Middle East and Africa portfolio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hotel, a 76-story tower at 577 meters high, will be among the world’s tallest and its unique and distinctive features will ensure a landmark presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many scholars are of the opinion that Makkah Time can — being located in the center of the world — provide the world an alternative to the GMT. At a conference in Doha in 2008, Muslim scholars presented “scientific” arguments that Makkah time is the true global meridian. They said that Makkah is the center of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Putting Makkah time in the face of Greenwich Mean Time, this is the goal,” said Mohammed Al-Arkubi, general manager of Royal Makkah Tower Hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Royal Clock is sitting atop the central tower in the Abraj Al-Bait Project, 50 meters opposite the Grand Mosque in Makkah. The clock will be visible from 17 km away at night and 11 to 12 km away during the day. A German-owned company, Premiere Composite Technologies, has designed the clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sources said that the world’s largest clock — six times larger than London’s Big Ben — the project includes a Lunar Observation Center and an Islamic Museum. While the Royal Clock will announce daily prayers, the Lunar Observation Center and Islamic Museum will serve to protect the heritage for future generations. The observatory will also be used to sight the moon during the holy months.

No one should ever despair, even those who have returned to the same sin and repented for it a hundred times. Instead, they should repent and never weary of seeking forgiveness. Satan would inspire us to despair and give up on forgiveness. We should be even more resolute in asking Allah to forgive us, praying to Him with humility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When reminding people of their sins, it is good to mention positive action as well, by emphasizing the value of performing good deeds. Allah says: “Surely, good deeds wipe away evil deeds.” [Sūrah Hūd: 114]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has informed us of various kinds of good deeds that can atone for our sins. For instance, Abū Hurayrah relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;A prostitute was forgiven when she passed by a dog near a well. It was panting and dying of thirst. She removed her shoe and tied it to her scarf. Then she drew out some water for it from the well. Allah forgave her for that. [Sahīh al-Bukhārī (3321) and Sahīh Muslim (2245)]&lt;br /&gt;Abū Hurayrah also relates:&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet said: “One a man was walking and he was extremely thirsty. He descended into a well and drank from it. When he came out, he saw a dog panting and eating mud to relieve its thirst. The man thought to himself: This creature has reached the same state that I was in. So he went down the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog water to drink. Allah was grateful to him and forgave him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people asked: “O Messenger of Allah! Do we receive rewards on account of beasts?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He replied: “There is a reward for being charitable to anything with a living heart.” [Sahīh al-Bukhārī (2363) and Sahīh Muslim (2244)]&lt;br /&gt;How much more can we expect the reward to be for helping our fellow human beings! Allah is most gracious and He never lets any of our good deeds come to naught. For this reason, being kind, generous, and magnanimous to others is one of the best ways to seek Allah’s forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Once a man was walking down a road when he came upon a branch of thorns in the middle of the way. He moved it to one side and cleared the path, so Allah was grateful to him and forgave him.” [Sahīh al-Bukhārī (654) and Sahīh Muslim (1914)]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of placing obstacles in other people’s paths, why do we not rather make it our business to remove those obstacles and make it easier for them to find happiness in life? We should make this part of our life’s mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A young lady once contacted me and complained about all the difficulties and tribulations she was facing in her life. I suggested to her that she should focus on helping others, like her parents, siblings, and elders. A year later, she called me up again to tell me how happy she was, and how much Allah has provided for her and blessed her with opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said to her: “If people could only hear what you are saying, especially those who are coping with difficulties and sorrows in their lives. They could know firsthand a way out of their problems that is so easy to implement but so few every think to try.”&lt;a href="http://islamtoday.com/artshow-431-3781.htm"&gt; ISLAMTODAY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1988656739896586149?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1988656739896586149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/calling-to-path-of-repentance.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1988656739896586149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1988656739896586149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/calling-to-path-of-repentance.html' title='Calling to the Path of Repentance'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNsGyl2SGuI/AAAAAAAAAt0/2EFE3xqkFpQ/s72-c/phong_canh102s.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-1294186833358094885</id><published>2010-11-08T16:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-08T16:56:59.352-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Extremism as a threat to democracy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNiWgGQiJgI/AAAAAAAAAts/5YjTgYvf1f4/s1600/41631_714775521_8234_ng.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5537341220031964674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 264px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNiWgGQiJgI/AAAAAAAAAts/5YjTgYvf1f4/s320/41631_714775521_8234_ng.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Translated by &lt;div align="center"&gt;His Majesty King &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/chris.abdulwahhab"&gt;Chris Abdul-Wahhab &lt;/a&gt;( Maldives Royal Family )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;“Let me tell you! In the Religion there are two types of extremism. One type comes from the observance of the Religion; and the other type involves failing to observe the Religion. We never hear about extremism that involves failure to observe the Religion. We always hear of extremism that involves the observance of the Religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;“Recently a Maldive woman representing herself as a Maldive Muslim has been uttering shameful words of the latter type and has publicised that in the media. She is a woman ambassador. While this shameless woman goes about licking the soles of European infidels, &lt;a href="http://minivannews.com/society/extremism-the-greatest-threat-to-maldivian-democracy-dr-faizal-13095"&gt;trying to please them&lt;/a&gt;, she does not so much as cover-up her nudity as Muslim women are ordered to do by the honourable Allah. As she runs around naked in front of all the humans in the world, auctioning her nudity, this shameless woman said that the biggest threat facing the Maldives today is the issue of ‘extremists’.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Listen you shameless woman, let me tell you something very confidently. If there were extremists in this nation, your mob will no longer be breathing into this world.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Wouldn’t one be amazed? While going about in the nude, does this woman think she is civilised when she does her hair in a genie’s hairdo? Look, if becoming a civilised person involves being unable to tell one’s creator or the difference between night and day, we don’t want this type of civilisation. Let me tell you, there isn’t a group of people in this world more handicapped than your ilk. When people like you talk about other people’s alleged extremism don’t you ask yourself the question whether or not your brain sits outside your head? If scatter-brained ignoramuses who are unable to tell what is Islam or faith go around talking like this we must confiscate their passports and deport this mob from the Maldives.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The most amazing thing is that while this woman is the daughter of an impoverished Maldive couple who only eat tuna, she appears to have forgotten her lowly status.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Does she know that she will never become a White person, no matter how hard she tries and even if she colours over her black hair in order to be like White people? “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Do you think by spending so much time with European men who don’t clean after they have defecated, you will become a European? You are just a full Maldivian.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Amazing! These people think that there are no civilised races other than Europeans who are freckled as a result of eating pork. They feel that they will achieve progress by pleasing those Europeans. Let me tell you, you are hypocrites who worship infidels who are filthy with faeces.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000900512341"&gt;Farah Faizal&lt;/a&gt; :thanks Chris..I am surprised that this time they didn't threaten to stone me like they did last time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3411279311795659415-1294186833358094885?l=mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/feeds/1294186833358094885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/extremism-as-threat-to-democracy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1294186833358094885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3411279311795659415/posts/default/1294186833358094885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mohamedsiruhan.blogspot.com/2010/11/extremism-as-threat-to-democracy.html' title='Extremism as a threat to democracy'/><author><name>Mohamed Siruhan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05922234387638280112</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/SuIChl3R9YI/AAAAAAAAAAY/znSK4vEPejM/S220/icsmal%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_abljgwqHfEs/TNiWgGQiJgI/AAAAAAAAAts/5YjTgYvf1f4/s72-c/41631_714775521_8234_ng.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411279311795659415.post-7023033665155952371</id><published>2010-11-08T09:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-08T09:19:46.584-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Swedes in shock at King Carl Gustaf sex scandal</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Five months ago, the Swedish royal family was the toast of Europe. All eyes were trained on Stockholm as the glamorous Crown Princess Victoria wed her long-time boyfriend in a fairy-tale ceremony, and the world's press clamoured for a glimpse of the elegant Swedish royals and their regal guests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the international media is again camped outside the gates of Stockholm's Drottningholm Palace – but this time for far less congratulatory reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelations last week that the King of Sweden once enjoyed romps in seedy nightclubs owned by shadowy underworld figures have eclipsed the sparkle of July's wedding. King Carl XVI Gustaf, the stern-looking, bespectacled monarch who is honorary chairman of the World Scout Foundation, has found himself thrust uncomfortably in the spotlight following the publication of an unflinching book, Carl XVI Gustaf – Den motvillige monarken (Carl XVI Gustaf – The reluctant monarch) which catalogues his past predilection for wild, alcohol-fuelled orgies and naked jacuzzi parties with models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book has caused uproar and dominated the country's media, leading to nationwide soul-searching about the 64-year-old King's role, reputation and right to privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Strip clubs, illegal clubs, rented ladies who are naked under their fur coats. Women were simply desserts, used as sweets to be served with the coffee," wrote Katrine Kielos in the daily Aftonbladet newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;"The royal family has always been viewed as an august, fabulous family. But these allegations are so grave that our trust in them is seriously damaged," said Jenny Madestam, a political analyst. "The King is not even denying it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, the King's bizarre press conference on Thursday – held in a forest after an elk hunt – only served to fan the flames of interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have spoken with my family and the Queen and we choose to turn the page and move forward because, as I understand, these are things that happened a long time ago," he said – standing in a field, still dressed in his wax jacket and hunting clothes, among a sea of camera crews and reporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His handling of the book's publication has shocked some observers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now is the time for the King to be quiet and give no comments. Instead, he says yes to a press conference in the middle of the forest where anything can happen. It is like playing Russian roulette," said Paul Ronge, a PR expert, in the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"His statement can be interpreted as a confession. It is beneath his dignity to even comment a gossip book about his private life. Now the plug is gone and the papers can print page after page with material from the book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For the royal court to handle the issue like kindergarten behaviour, without responsibility is very serious".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, the allegations that the king frequented Mafia-run clubs and used the state police to hide the evidence are extremely serious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book's authors, Thomas Sjöberg, Tove Meyer and Deanne Rauscher, spent two years unpicking the complicated story behind the throne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was only 27 when he took office, in the midst of his bachelor years, with girls, booze and 'the lads'," they wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then he suddenly became king, and had to promise the people to be a loving father. It was a totally unreasonable promise that he stood and gave in the state room."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Sjöberg, a leading interviewer and investigative journalist, originally decided to look into the rumours of a dark private life that had long been muttered in Swedish society – enlisting the help of researcher Tove Meyer and former social worker Deanne Rauscher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together they set about lifting the veil of secrecy that hung over the palace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That was what I originally wanted to find out: how could such a young king handle a role he has not been allowed to grow into?" said Mr Sjöberg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Ms Rauscher who interviewed many of the women who had been involved with the King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From her two-bedroom antique-filled flat in Stockholm's upmarket Östermalm area, Ms Rauscher pieced together the testimonies of the women who had partied with the playboy monarch - including Camilla Henemark, a Swedish-Nigerian pop singer and model who had a year-long affair with the King in the late 1990s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors write that the King "had fallen in love like a teenager" and that the Queen, his wife since 1976, knew about the affair but was powerless to stop it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview before her relationship with the King was known, Ms Henemark spoke of her spiral into depression around the end of the affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It had been a party all the time and lots of champagne and money," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When her modelling and pop career faded, she said: "I became distant and drank constantly. I sank deeper and deeper into depression and hated the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was thinking about suicide."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week Mr Sjöberg and Ms Rauscher took to a houseboat, sheltering one of the women who revealed details of her trysts with the King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It has been very stressful," Ms Rauscher told The Sunday Telegraph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors also uncovered evidence of how a Serbian gangster, Mille Markovic, hosted parties for the King and his friends at an underground club in Stockholm, below the National Police Department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Markovic described how the club had a jacuzzi inside, and the girls invited to the parties "threw off their clothes and sat in the men's laps".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the evenings the women were assigned their rooms. "It was not formally mandatory, but there were name signs on the doors showing who was going to sleep with whom", said one of the women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Markovic told a Swedish newspaper yesterday: "I've got live evidence. The entire world will see. This is no fake but real facts. I can prove every single thing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But perhaps one of the most intriguing elements of the scandal, for those outside the Scandanavian country, is how the Swedish population have reacted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over 80 per cent say that the lurid allegations have not changed their perception of the King – and almost 50 per cent say that it is wrong for journalists to look into the private lives of their royal family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon hearing about the book, producers an investigative news programme met with the authors - only to decide that they weren't interested in investigating the royal family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas Sjöberg, the book's author, admits that the royal family are seen as being above criticism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If it would have been the PM, he would be forced to resign the following day," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There would be a public outcry, severe political consequences for Sweden, political chaos and a constitutional crisis."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But despite the media whirlwind, Swedes seem very relaxed about their head of state's behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All the negative PR experts commenting on the King's meeting with the press are totally wrong," said Brita Svensson, a royal correspondent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It was no fiasco, no disaster, not unprofessional nor a huge embarrassment.
