Europol publishes an annual report entitled EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report.

The results are stark, and prove decisively that not all terrorists are Muslims. In fact, a whopping 99.6% of terrorist attacks in Europe were by non-Muslim groups; a good 84.8% of attacks were from separatist groups completely unrelated to Islam. Leftist groups accounted for over sixteen times as much terrorism as radical Islamic groups. Only a measly 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2007 to 2009 could be attributed to extremist Muslims.

On p.7, the 2009 Europol report concludes:

Yes it is true, the Prophet did have a six year old wife named Aisha. Here are some references (The two most highly respected collections of hadith are the authenticated collections the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, i am referencing from Sahih Muslim):

Sahih Muslim Book 008, Number 3310:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65
Narrated 'Aisha:

ok, another post on this site made me go back to islam-qa - a site which I am not a fan of, especially since it seems to present itself as such an authoritative place...

The first link was asking about greeting non-muslims and how Muslims should act upon a specific hadith.

The answer was full of bluster and pride about how not to cower etc, but it lacked context, and hence the truth.

So what is the context of this hadith?

It was from a time of war - the Muslims were at war with some tribe and the Sahabahs asked the Prophet something like "we are at war with Tribe X, so saying 'peace be upon you' when meeting them on the streets does not seem to be correct, so what should we do?"

The Revival Magazine will be re-launched on 19th April 2010. It will be distributed FREE nationwide and available to read here.

ok, so we are minutes away from apple unveiling a new gadget. Wonder what it will be...

the odds are on the announcement of a tablet pc - but without the pc-ness where you will be charged through the nose to pay for the product itself and then also for accessing content such as video, music and maybe even books.

Or it could be something totally different.

Rest assured, it will look good.

Edit - and it was the iPad, a tablet PC with the same operating system that the iPhone uses. A bigger iPhone, but without the phone bits.

(or an "iPod touch, but bigger" - that seems to be a more accurate description.)

I wonder how it will sell and if it will gain market traction.

The iProduct. you know you want it.
