Growing Global Trend for Women-only Segregation
by Jessica Valenti, 3 August 2007, The Guardian

Growing up in New York City, I took the subway to school like most of my peers. I remember not quite understanding, as a 13-year-old, the looks I received from men my father's age - or why they kept "accidentally" brushing up against me. What was all that about?

Incompatible marriages

She’s getting married in the morning
But I feel like crying
It’s a marriage of disaster
And won’t last her
She thinks it’s for life
But it’s going to end in tears

Heartbroken, letdown, disillusioned
Abused and treated like dirt
Some of the traits
Of her new family to be

I should speak
But why can’t her family see
It’s crystal-clear
But some think I’m confused
A kill joy
So I remain silent

Let the marriage continue
Heading for disaster
But what

CAIRO: Egypt's official religious adviser has ruled that Muslims are free to change their faith as it is a matter between an individual and God, in a move which could have far-reaching implications for the country's Christians. "The essential question before us is can a person who is Muslim choose a religion other than Islam? The answer is yes, they can," Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said in a posting on a Washington Post-Newsweek forum picked up by the Egyptian press on Tuesday.

With My Hijab I Put My Faith on DISPLAY-Rather Than My BEAUTY.

My Value as a Human is Defined by My Relationship With God, Not By My LOOKS.

So I Cover the IRRELEVANT. And When You Look at Me, You Don't See a Body.

"With my veil I put my faith on display-rather than my beauty. My

Anti-Terror Lessons For Islam Wives

TAXPAYERS are to fund evening classes to show Muslim woman how to control their men - and stop them becoming suicide bombers.

Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly will this week stump up £650,000 on a string of courses across Britain.

They aim to teach the women "confidence building, communication skills, negotiation and mediation".

Ms Kelly hopes the women will then be able to persuade husbands, brothers and sons not to be tempted to become Islamic terrorists.

She said: "The vast majority of UK Muslims condemn violent extremism - as I do.

Young, free and single

Young, free and single
By Showkat Ali

It's hard being young, free and single
So much freedom and choice to mingle
With the opposite sex
So many choices and stress
Regarding who to choose
Chill and spend time with
More difficult than what to wear

Over twenty on my phone list
Many more I desire every day
Who I just can’t resist
Giving the once over
As they pass me on the street
Gyrating their bodies
And catching my fancy

So many of the opposite gender
To mix with
Talk, flirt and date
That's the way it goes
Changing partners every other week
No need to chase and seek
