[size=18]US man shot dead on Florida plane[/size]

A passenger who claimed to have a bomb on board an American Airlines plane in Miami was shot dead by a US federal officer, government officials say.

The 44-year-old US citizen was shot after fleeing an air marshal and then reaching into his bag. Reports say no device has yet been found.

Flight 924 had just arrived from Colombia, and was headed to Orlando.

It is the first time since the attacks of 11 September 2001 that a US air marshal has shot at a passenger.

The US dramatically increased the number of air marshals on flights after the 2001 attacks.

Where Do You See Yourself In The Next Ten Years?

Salaam

A wise man once said “Inform me of a man’s determination and I’ll tell you what kind of a man he is”.

In other words ones hopes, aims, dreams and ambitions says a LOT about an individual.

Where do you see yourself in the next 10 years? What do you hope to have accomplished by then?

By them most of us should be in our 30's....the peak of life (apparently)

Are pessimistic or optimistic about the future? Is there a difference between aiming high and wishful thinking?

What about where you are NOW in your life, is this what you had envisioned for yourself?

IMPORTANCE OF THE ISLAMIC HEADGEAR

IMPORTANCE OF
THE ISLAMIC HEADGEAR

In Tafseer Ma-aariful Qur'aan, Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi (rahmatullah alayh), the then Grand Mufti of Pakistan, explains in the exposition of the aayat:

"O the Sons of Aadam! Adopt your beauty at the time of every Salaat....." (Aayat 31, Surah A'raaf).

"From this aayat it is obvious that just as the compulsion of concealing the satr is based o­n the command in this verse, so too is based the significance and merit of donning good and clean garments according to o­ne's means and ability.

Challenge to Islam from a Christian

Ok so I have been talking to this Christian about religion and we have talked about a lot of stuff. Today he challenged me, he said he could perform a miracle in front of me. This was turning water to wine. He also said b4 that, that we should pray for something on saturday to happen he said that it should rain for half an hour then stop etc to prove whose God is right.

I was shocked, what do you guys think of this. I mean, I told him that God does this according to his will and that the signs of God are everywhere.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Saddam Hussein's trial resumed Wednesday after a delay of several hours with the deposed Iraqi leader absent from the courtroom.

Chief Judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin opened the session at 3 p.m. (7 a.m. ET), about four hours late, and called the first witness.

Hussein's chair sat empty at the front of the dock, and his chief lawyer thanked Amin for continuing the proceedings.

Trust In Allah, But Tie Your Camel

Salaam

How much should we trust in Allah (swt)? And how much should we do our bit? And how fatalistic should we be as Muslim?

I know that if I wanted to pass some test I should pray to Allah (swt), revise and then sit the test…that’s “tying your camel”

But sometimes I wonder how much I should “do” and how “fatalistic” I should be..?

Allah (swt) has also said that he “does not change men's condition unless they change their inner selves”.

Right from Wrong

Assalamu-Alaikum broz n sistaz

On sunday i went to the global peace n unity conference
