BeautifulPeople.com axes holiday weight gain members

published by You on 4 January, 2010 - 19:03

Dating and social network site BeautifulPeople.com has axed some 5,000 members following complaints that they had gained weight.

The members were singled out after posting pictures of themselves that reportedly showed they had put on pounds over the holiday period.

The site allows entry to new members only if existing members vote them as sufficiently attractive to warrant it.

The US, the UK, and Canada topped the list of excluded members.

The site has always been unrepentant about its selection process, calling itself "the largest network of attractive people in the world".

Israel to issue gas masks to entire population

published by You on 4 January, 2010 - 05:01

Could this be preparation of war with Iran?

Israel will begin distributing its entire population with gas masks in two months, though no reason has officially been given by the Israeli government.

No indication or threat has been made against Israel from any country that an attack is planned. No country in the Middle East is believed to be likely to engage in chemical or biological warfare with Israel, either.

The gas mask distribution has, however, raised questions as to Israel’s potential plans to launch an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Such an attack could cause an unconventional response from Iran. Iran’s chemical and biological weapons capabilities are currently not known.

Muslim MP: security profiling at airports is 'price we have to pay'

A Muslim MP has opened up divisions within the Islamic community by saying it is reasonable for Muslims to be singled out for extra airport security measures following the Detroit bomb attempt.

Khalid Mahmood, the Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, said it had become necessary to 'profile' passengers from certain racial and religious groups in order to weed out possible terror suspects.

He said: "I think most people would rather be profiled than blown up. It wouldn't be victimisation of an entire community.

Jilbaabis are so beautiful

published by TPOS on 4 January, 2010 - 03:12

I've been thinking about starting to wear a jibaab but im facing two problems:

  • 'am i really "ready" to wear one / "cover up"?'
  • "Is it really better to wear one?"

Concentrating on the second one...

See I think that most young women who wear jilbaabs actually look very pretty - whether they're in all black or have colour co-ordinated hijabs, bags etc.

So I'm thinking does the jilbaab actually add to the beauty?

Is it cuz we can only see their faces so they look better?

Or they actually just pretty?

:S

If people do look better in jilbaabs doesn't it go against the whole point of wearing one? :s

So do you think they are mostly very pretty? (and "why"?)

Weigh your deeds before its too late!

Doesn't time seem to be flying faster and faster by the day?

Indeed, the Prophet(SAW) told us that one of the signs of the Last Day would be that “time would move faster - so that a whole year would pass like a month, a month would pass like a week, a week like a day, a day like an hour, and an hour like the amount of time it takes to kindle a fire.” {Ahmad}

This means we need to ACT now - how long will we put off good deeds till tomorrow deluding ourselves into thinking we can be more "religious" when we get older? How do we know we'll still be alive tomorrow let alone when were older!
