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.
I, myself, am sectless. I am not a Shia, Sunni, Sufi, Submissive/er/ion, or anything else. Choosing a sect breeds ignorance. I can see the points of view for the different variations, but most say any deviation is wrong. How do you [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
The Quran Explorer
A friend of mine sent me a link to the “Quran Explorer.” Basically, it is an online translation of the Quran with audio as well. It has the English alongside the Arabic. Very wonderful website! You can also make the text larger as well if you have trouble reading small Arabic script, like myself. It [...]
Reasoning For Religion Today?
I got to thinking ealier about the origin of various religions, so I decided to do a google search. I was curious as to the origins of various religions from Buddhism, Paganism, Islam, Christianity, the Greek religions, or any others. Some I already knew but I was curious to see other views on it. A section [...]
