The Egyptian president has fallen, forced out through a combination of mass protest and the military.

I wonder if the people on the street even realise that they have been played by the old guard.

Morsi, from the Muslim Brotherhood, had a tough reign in power, elected only a year ago.

Powerless President

When before the elections it looked like there was a possibility that a Muslim Brotherhood candidate might win, the military had made a decree removing the powers of the president, in essense making him a puppet. Even then they were forced to allow him to be president by the people who at the time did not want a member of the old regime to already subvert the revolution.

Make it a good Ramadan x

Just think about it. a website on a phone.

wow. Just wow.

Back to reality.

The current peach-coloured theme (called "insight") doesn't really work well on small screens. or even big screens. Its a load of peach. and orange.

So to get around those limitations, a new theme has been made - "FiveThirteen", which has been made primarily to work well on smaller screens. You can change between the two - there is a switch theme box on the top left on the peach theme, and on the top right (or below the main content on mobiles) on the grey/new theme.

thinking abt setting a coupla reading groups. each reading a diff book. it'd be via skype

books ive considered are when the moon split and "journey to Allah" by ibn al qayyim and "explanation of 3 fundamental principles"

its mainly for people who are totally free during ramadan and want to use those reading groups to add structure to their day.

i was thinking early afternoon for them. on different days of the week. anyway, pm me if you're interested with available days of week and times.

Grooming of young girls is a crime against humanity and as Muslims, especially leaders of the community , should definitely speak out against it. As the Prophet mentioned when you see an evil you should stop it with your hands, speak out against it with your tongue or at least deny it in your heart as this is the weakest of Imaan. Especially when perperators seem to be some Muslims across the country- the Muslim community has been trying to hide this issue under the carpet.

There are some chocolates in my room. They have been there for 2 years. 

I was hungry. Ate one now.

Am I gonna die from outdated chocolate related disease?

Or does chocolate not get outdated?

no way..my whole blog got deleted...

Eurabia: "possibly the most influential western geopolitical theory since the attacks of 9/11" it's basically what led a man to detonate a bomb in Oslo and then go on a rampage after teenagers on a deserted island in 2011 (already two years eh?)

it's considered a conspiracy theory but..it did lead to the death of many many people so I'd say it would be a good thing to be aware of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurabia

interesting article that made me chuckle a couple of times. nice summary of life since 9/11: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/1c825298-d8f7-11e0-aff1-00144feabdc0.html

Manchester Museum time-lapse 'shows Egyptian statue move'!

Bosses at Manchester Museum have been left puzzled by the mystery of an ancient Egyptian statuette which - a video has revealed - seems to turn itself around 180 degrees in its display case.

The 10-inch tall statue of Neb-Sanu, which dates back to 1800 BC, was found in a mummy’s tomb and has been at the Museum for eighty years.

And now a time-lapse video clearly shows it turning on its axis during the day, apparently of its own volition. During the night, however, it remains still.

Check out the vide here

When a relationship will gear into something else, you cant stay so close to someone for ever. and i know that. but i dread the day that a friendship goes into a "lower" gear. i know that it's meant to be, and its going to be okay. but...memories do weird thing. i'm just dreading it coz it'll be change. from something comfy to something not so comfy at the beginning (coz it'll get better with time right?) everyone dreads change. that's just humans.

would it be better to not talk at all? rather than see yourself thinking about things to say when before you could literally say shit, apologize even though it wasnt needed and straight away talk about something else? when i think about it...it feels like it would be.

..that there's no point in running away.

or that if i do need to run away, i should run away somewhere useful, where i'd learn something,

..that if i decide to look into whats going on beyond this Island, i'll come across a lot of sad, depressing stuff. but the happy, uplifting stuff will be so much more happy and uplifting because it's real, it happened, it had consequences, it left marks.
