Well, not yet, but it is only a matter of time.

EDIT - You read it here first! - END EDIT

The army has been called into quell the protests and he was supposed to make a speech on Egyptian TV - a speech that has been postponed.

It seems that Mubarak's primary backer has pulled out - Brian Whittaker from The Guardian describes his view of the US position, which if true more or less means they no longer think Mubarak will be in power for long:

Salaam to everyone

I'm in a very big dilemma. My friend loves a boy to death and wants to get married to him when she gets older. She's only in year 9 like me. But her family is very strict, if they find out that she likes that person, they'll move to another place with her. What should I tell her to do? And also, is it wrong in Islam to tell your parents that you want to get married to a certain person?

Today was a day of protest in Egypt (and other places most notably Lebanon) - something sparked off by the success of the protests in Tunisia.

From the pictures and videos I have seen they seem pretty crappy, but they are still the largest disturbance against the regime in like a generation. Some things start small I guess - let's see where this goes.

Back in the day people used to use words like "may you live in interesting times" as a curse but its good to see despotic dictators and leaders in the arab world quake in their boots.

For a Muslim, faith means never to question Allah's decision and simply accepting that Allah has made a decision and he does as he pleases.

Everyone will die and that day will come when it is least expected in most cases.

A wife is allowed to mourn her husband for 4 months and 10 days only. The Muslim is allowed to mourn anyone dying other than a spouse for 3 days only. So when a woman loses her husband, no matter how painful the death is, the devout Muslim must say only "inna lillahi wa inna llahi raaji'oon." This means "to Allah we belong and to him is our return."

why is it that a woman mourns for such a long period of time but a man doesnt?? i am so confused.......

this might sound crazy but i really want to know

JAZAKALLAH!!

There has been a leak tonight of around 1,600 documents from the Palestinian side covering their negotiations with Israel.

The documents show how the Palestinian negotiation were increasingly desperate team offered far more concessions than the public could or would accept, but even then, Israel was not ready for peace.
