While in Uganda to open a large mosque for the Muslim community…
Ugandan Church leaders have asked Christians to forgive Libya’s leader for suggesting the Bible was forged as it didn’t mention the Prophet Muhammad.
LOL!
Ugandan clerics pointed out the Bible was written before Muhammad was born.

The astonishing verdict: not guilty.
Jordan’s parliament has rejected legal challenges to dismiss eight MPs for alleged vote rigging. The MPs were being investigated for alleged vote buying, allowing children to vote and threatening ballot box supervisors in last November’s parliamentary election.
Under Jordan’s constitution, the lower house of parliament investigates all charges of electoral fraud against […]

I’m as cynical as the next guy when it comes to Valentines day in the Arab world, but this may be going a tad too far, no? It’s funny in a sad way.
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia’s religious police have banned red roses ahead of Valentine’s Day, forcing couples in the conservative Muslim nation to […]

Disclaimer: The following post contains scenes of nudity and language that might be disturbing to some. Viewer discretion is advised. This is absolutely, the final snow-related post of the season unless this thing drags on for another week. But I just found this to be too funny not to publish. A friend of mine, Tina, […]

The digital age is really, really fascinating.
Greeks fed up with their pesky neighbours, old flames, the government, or society in general can find release in a new Internet site that posts e-curses for free.
“Have you been dumped, harassed or angered? Why not unload with a curse?” offers www.e-katares.com (e-curse.com), which currently has more than […]

Here’s another round of my del.icio.us links for this past week. The fact that most of the links are Islamic-related is pure coincidence.
- A 16 year-old girl in Toronto is murdered by her father for refusing to wear the hijab and being “too westernized”. I don’t what to say about this story other than the […]

Yes. Other than our love for the environment, Al Gore and I also share messy desks in common. Some of you might recall Roba running a competition on her blog about a year ago, for the messiest desk. I didn’t win the messiest category, but I did get recognition for having the “most livable” desk. […]

DISCLAIMER: The following post is totally a rumor. I usually don’t believe in rumors, especially of Jordanian origin, but I’m inclined to believe this one for various reasons. This disclaimer is by way of asking you to please read at your own discretion.
