Kuwaiti “Ghost” Workers
I found this article out while searching the internet randomly. You always hear about it, and some of us even know people in this situation, but it appears to be worse then I had ever thought. Getting employment just for benefits and then never showing up? 619 of the last 800 Kuwaiti citizens working private [...]
Broken Fast
Yesterday I was actually sick, and today it was an oversight. Not accidentally eating or drinking. It was broken before it started. Grrrrrrr.
Sarah Palin: Iraq war “a task that is from God.”
That is just shocking! In the USA, church and state (religion and government) are supposed to be separate. Do you really want someone who could possible run the country (if McCain is unable, killed, dies, etc.) who thinks that the war in Iraq is a task that is from God? The Iraqi’s want a pullout [...]
A New Diet
That’s right, and it’s called Ramadan. OK! So it’s not really a new diet, but it can be used as one. For the overweight, this is a great time to actually lose weight! Watch what you use to break fast and how much food you consume though. You can gain weight if you are not [...]
I Am Sectless!
Just a piece of info and a small amount of clarification on the previous post.

Are the Hadith and Sunna Unnecessary?
It can be made to appear that way. If the Quran is truly meant to be the last message from Allah and the definitive guide for religion, then why are the Hadith and Sunna necessary? Why do we need something to interpret the Quran or additional rules to live our lives by? If the Quran [...]
Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem?

Marriage Annulled; Wife Lied About Virginity
Muslim couple in France. The wife lied about being a virgin. Is Islam spreading? Is religion taking more of a hold in a court of law? This is simple…
The lady LIED about being a virgin. Plain and simple. It is a case of “chastity fraud,” to borrow a term from the article. Religion and country [...]
Kuwait FastFax
I was browsing the Safat RSS feed that I have on my iGoogle main page, and came across a link from “Doesn’t play well with others.” It contains a link to the gomideast site, specially the FastFax page on Kuwait. It does seem fairly accurate. I have e-mailed the site to have them update the [...]
