- A UK hospital is offering a longer hijab-style gown. Some anti-Muslim zealots are crying wolf saying that this means that these hospitals are supporting terror. What does this have to do with terror? Most articles are use the politically charged word “burqa” to describe it.
- In this article from Australia, the author says Islam makes good citizens.
Australians should have no fear of good Muslims. The bad ones are a different matter. Who are they? Loosely, the ones who want to blow people up or kill them simply because they are not Muslims or because they think the West is waging war on Islam. And, in fact, such Muslims around the world have killed far more of their co-religionists than they have anyone else.
I’ll add that the 9/11 hijackers allegedly drank alcohol and hired strippers. This was from their Machiavellian ideology of “fitting in” so as not to draw attention so that they could achieve their wicked goals.
On the other hand, by claiming that all Muslims are child murdering lunatics, the anti-Muslim zealots will lose credibility because they can not be fair enough to admit that most of us reject such lunacy.
- According to this article, the hospitals in Iraq are no longer safe for Sunnis
In growing numbers, sick and wounded Sunnis have been abducted from public hospitals operated by Iraq’s Shiite-run Health Ministry and later killed, according to patients, families of victims, doctors and government officials.
- Britain looks like it is going to be several countries once again. More than 300 languages are spoken by the people of London, and the city has at least 50 non-indigenous communities with populations of 10,000 or more. That formula is not good for any country. One of the problems of Pakistan is that the different regions are like several different countries each with differing languages and cultures and there can be no national unity.
- A Saudi author is being sued for slandering Saudi society because of her portrayal of Saudi men as misogynist and Saudi women as their version of “Sex in the City”. I haven’t read the book, but I doubt it is like “Sex in the City”. Perhaps someone should ask why a book like this is popular there.

The Saudi book is popular in some sections of Saudi, unpopular in others. Some have made a big deal out of it more because it is written in dialect versus Foosah. It isnt a religious text, so why the big deal of writting in dialect is beyond me.
Arabic speaking people do not speak Foosah in day to day life, as a matter of fact, some would be hard pressed to understand you if you used “proper” non dialect Arabic.
