Africa & Middle East - September 2007

While telling each other "I love you" this morning, my wife looked so adorable I simply had to blurt out-HEY! I have a great idea for Yahoo answers!, she said what? and I said, How about this question (stated above). She thought it was cool so here I am asking you, yes, you this very question. By the way, our answer is - a lot. So you can't use my answer either.

Al Salamo Alaykom,
what do you think of "scholarships" for girls ?!!
for actually, inshaa Allah, i'm thinking of presenting my papers in college and hoping to win a scholarship to either America or England to continue studying arts and drama there inshaa Allah.

so, my question is :
for guys............. do you agree or like that girls travel abroad and study there for a year or two alone, for still it's a college scholarship ??!

and for girls .............. would you yourself agree on travelling abroad alone, may be you'll have one friend or two with you and may be none at all ??! (it's the case with my friend now, she's in Kentucky university )

This is a long boring philosophical question. Please, skip to another question if you are not in the mood for long questions.
Thanks.

Now, my question is:
Who would you befriend ? Who would you rather be seen with?
A- a hypocrite. Someone who pretends to be religious in public but ignores performing the rituals,i.e does not pray for example. You "suspect" that he is a hypocrite, but you do not know for sure.
B- Someone who openly does not want to perform the rituals, who does not want to pray or fast for example.

Right now we Gaza is pretty distuted with all the things going on inside of it like Extremely hateful propaganda, firing rockets into Israel, Israel cut of aide to Gaza except for hospitals.

But right now whats happening in The West Bank? I know its under FATAH control at the moment. But what else?

Are discussion's still being held about land and what not just now excluding Gaza and Hamas from the equation?

What about the settler issue, Freedom of movement is difficult in The West Bank (especially for the palestinians) for a number of reasons i mentioned before but like Londoner in Israel said the issue should be handled with sensitivity and the fact that the settlers where dupped (more info on this?) into coming to live in the settlements in the 70's and 80's means that the settlers should be given special consideration aswell, what is there fate looking like at the moment?

i know u'll say "this is not Eman who says this" but this is she.

according to Rana n gigi's questions about rapped girls,
would any of u guys marry a rapped girl if u know she's innocent?

always men want to marry a virgin, and ofcourse he'll be sure of it later but for a girl, how will she know that he had never gone into a forbidden relation before ?

and why its allowed for guys - not all tab3an and not in Islam - to have these relations before marriage and moreover become proud of doing this?

this may be deleted i know

guys can answer if they want...
me and friends were discussing...
if_God forbid_a girl was kidnapped by a guy or two and he's going to rape her and threatened her with a knife or sulfuric acid(mayet nar) if she fought back or screamed,would she....

1)do what he says so he won't kill her and as ppl say u can survive rape but not survive death?

2)fight him to death and scream and kick even if he cut her and if she died defending herself,she will go to heaven?

lets hope that the office doesnt get closed, would you support what she is trying to achieve, please watch the video?

the American Islamic Congress has opened a new office in Cairo

Appropriately, the new AIC-Egypt office is headed up by Egyptian human rights activist Dalia Ziada. A young writer, translator, blogger, and poet, Ziada won a runner-up recognition in the 2006 HAMSA essay contest and subsequently participated in HAMSA nonviolence and leadership workshops. She is a key member of the Free Kareem Campaign and is committed to promoting women’s rights and free expression for all in the Middle East.

Please watch the video and support what she is trying to do.

I was browsing through the questions and one question was entitled" What is the one thing that you have always felt blessed for having...or something with similar meaning ,and someone answered:
I feel blessed because "ppl liked me since i was a kid cuz i have a really tall silky black hair". And that " i like my self cuz i'm a tall slim girl "

That got me thinking. I really don't know if it was a joke, but are there people who think this way ?
For real?

Were pants initially designed for men only? Is a woman wearing hijab not supposed to wear pants even if they're loose enough not to show or reveal the body's characteristics? Many fatwas claim it is ok for a woman to wear pants, some forbide it. My fathe who is a very strict and conservative Muslim never allowed me to wear pants outside home. However, now that I'm married, my husband is fine with it. so girls, what do u usually wear? do women wearing pants go under the category of "almotashabeheen men elnisa2 bel regal"?
