A few days back I travelled to Batamaloo neighbourhood in Srinagar, the capital city of Indian-controlled Kashmir. Coils of barbed wire blocked the desolate roads; thousands of Indian soldiers patrolled the streets to enforce a strict military curfew. I couldn't reach the man I wanted to meet and finally managed to speak to him on the phone.
Marriage is supposed to be a time of happiness, right? A time of joy? A time of unity? A special bond between 2 families , not 2 people, right? Well, not as far as I’m concerned… my wedding will take place on the 14th October! Yikes! Everything was supposedly to run smoothly. Location, theme, hosts, everything was decided! Ok, I may be slightly tedious; but I really really absolutely loathe attending wedding functions. But, no doubt, I’m going to have to attend this one. So after buttering them up I talked to my parents/in laws, if it could be just a small reception. Where the doll and guy sign papers; and wahey they’re legally bided by Islamic law and British law . But, no, they weren’t having that. I didn’t tackle the situation after so.
Am i the only one who feels this movie's got a bit of a religious side to it?
Are women more ungrateful than men?
It was narrated that 'Abd-Allah ibn 'Abbas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I was shown Hell and I have never seen anything more terrifying than it. And I saw that the majority of its people are women." They said, "Why,O Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H?" He said, "Because of their ingratitude (kufr)."It was said, "Are they ungrateful to Allah?" He said, "They are ungrateful to their companions (husbands) and ungrateful for good treatment...If you are kind to one of them for a lifetime then she sees one (undesirable) thing in you, she will say, 'I have never had anything good from you.'" (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1052)

Salaam,
I grew up hearing my gran reminding me to drink a lot or milk - cos apparently Milk keeps you white but tea makes you dark.
I've also grown up hearing people being celebrated for their beauty cos they were fairer than the average...
I've personally know countless people who only stipulate 'fair skin' when looking for a marriage partner for their children or for themselves.
Fair and lovely cream and so many other banned face bleaching cream are so readily available in the Middle East and in the Subcontinent.
The "Aryan" invaders (fair skinned group of people) conquered the Subcontinent around 1500 BC. They installed themselves as a dominant élite, and 'darker' people were were reduced to inferior status.

Just watch this. And well... :doubt: Its about this girl who goes to Ivory Coast to investigate child labour. I found it heartbreaking.
I was thinking about doing something like, guetting sponsored for not eating anything related to chocolate and send it to a charity (the one mentionned in the program, save the children uk? *shrugs*)
Anyway, this is just part 1
First, it was offensive and insensitive to build an Islamic center two blocks away from Ground Zero. Now it's offensive and insensitive to publish photos of American Muslims peacefully praying, on or around 9/11.
