Tonight was the 6th night of Muharram.

The English lecture was just a bundle of statistics of how the Western media has brought down the morality among people in the West by "desensitizing, normalizing and glamorizing" sex. He quoted circulation/subscription figures of the Playboy magazine and funnily enough, he blamed James Bond for teaching ( Read more... )

I think that we should come up with a name for Cute Guy until you can find out what his real name is. I'm thinking maybe Herb would be appropriate. =)

Herb! But botany sucks.
I think Zayn is nice. It means 'gem' or 'good' in Arabic :)

It was me who bought you the paid account...
I was trying to make myself feel better by helping out another.
It's just what I do. And that's how I cope with things.
It's my purpose - to help.
That's all.

You'll see they're the same. Umm, actualy, unless I was on the other computer in my house, then they're not quite the same... Whatever, you get my point, though.)

Aw, Alizah, that was incredibly sweet of you. Todah r'bah, thanks a lot!
I do hope you're feeling better. It sucks to see you [or anyone] like this.

I did try checking the IP with an IP-location-checker. It just gave me your location [Canada], but I didn't have the brains to compare the IP with those of my Canadian friends. So silly!

Wow, these people sure do like Imam Ali. I can just hear what they'll say next: "Imam Ali died for your sins, so that you may have everlasting life." Sounds familiar. Oh well!

Also, it is interesting that he mentioned James Bond as a source of sexual hedonism. I was literally a James Bond SCHOLAR in middle and high school. Seriously, there was hardly a question that I could be asked that I could not answer. I could sing every James Bond theme song from every movie, I could name all the artists who sang them, I knew all the major - and often minor - actors in each movie as well as which year the movies came out, ad nauseum. I followed the James Bond series like a madman, but I'll be damned if I've EVER gotten laid, let alone by a number of different chicks! I guess I just soak up too many details and not enough of the message, lol.

Yeah, Aleks, their school of thought revolves around the Imam Ali. Much like most Christian schools of thought revolve around Jesus.

So the speaker was right!! You infidel Jews are joining up with James Bond to make our chaste youths (!!) into degenerates! Lol.

I really like reading your posts about the stories of Islam. The sacrifices, the faith; it's all very interesting as someone who hasn't heard them before. Thank you! :)

Yup, they'll continue till Thursday, so hold onto your seat, cuz it gets more gruesome with each passing day.
