Sex and Islam… 2007-07-30 07:23:24 Frank talk from Muslim sex therapist Cairo-based Heba Kotb tackles sensitive issues within the framework of Islam. Jeffrey Fleishman (Los Angeles Times) In the delicate realm where the Koran meets human desire, Heba Kotb, a Muslim sex therapist in a ruffled gold head scarf, has strong opinions on vibrators, foreplay, premature you-know-what and why more men can’t seem to locate the G-spot… ‘Everyone is searching for better sex, but people aren’t having the best sex. Sex within Islam is the best. It covers the man’s rights and the woman’s rights. Islam is the ultimate sexuality.’ — Heba Kotb, sex therapist in Cairo who has a late-night satellite TV show Technorati Tags: Sex , Islam, Egypt, Heba Kotb ...

An Inconvenient Truth and The Day of Judgment 2007-07-23 07:55:47 I was watching the documentary and an interesting thought came to mind… In Islam, we were thought that, amongst other signs, two things would occur on the Day of Judgment: 1) All the people would be gathered on “Arafat” to be judged. - The plains of Arafat are in Saudi Arabia and the place is one of the spots which is included in the rituals of Hajj. It is also the place where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) gave his last sermon. Anyway, I have always thought that logically, it would be physically impossible for the whole of creation from past times to now to fit on such a small area. But with the continental drift, and the continents either moving further apart or closer together… if it is closer together, then it would make sense that “Arafat” could be figuratively implying one large landmass in which everyone will be gathered. Secondly, with Global Warming being what it is at the moment, then the water level will rise and people will be drawn cl ...

90 Minutes for Mandela 2007-07-19 03:20:35 The game last night between the Africa 11 and the World 11 was pretty good. I mean it had its boring moments like most other soccer matches, but over all it was pretty engaging. The score ended up 3-3, and the level of play was brilliant.I found it funny though that as soon as the match ended, spectators flooded the field to get near the the stars on the pitch… All you could see after while was people dodging security guards and running and shaking hands with players… and it wasn’t like 2 or 3 people it was more like 20 to 30 people. What I most admired about the match though was the dignity and behaviour of the players.  All of them were smiling and even after a few fouls that took place on the pitch, they shook hands and slapped each other on the back knowing it wasn’t intended.  I really admired that.  I wish the World cup Players were watching and took notice of this, since the general trend in the World cup with players is to feign injury a ...

Taqwacore: Rise of the Muslim Punk 2007-07-17 09:06:23 Came across this at Kim Badawi’s homepage. She chronicles this phenomenon of an Islamic Punk Band and a genre called Taqwacore. Just like everything in the United States… Muslim Punks do exist in the United States! American Muslims, who do aspire to defeat the stereotype and challenge freedom to expression as a true Americans, as well as Muslims… Taqwacore, a genre of Muslim punk rock, existing only in the novel at the time of its writing, has since emerged as an actual genre, inspiring bands across North America. - Kim Badawi The below is from Wikipedia. Taqwacore is a genre of punk music dealing with Islam and its culture, originally conceived in Michael Muhammad Knight’s novel, The Taqwacores. The name is a portmanteau of hardcoreArabic word Taqwa, which is usually translated as “piety” or the quality of being “God-fearing”, and thus roughly denotes fear and love of the divine. and the The first bands to use the term taqwacore are T ...

The Best Thing Out of Durban Since The Poison… 2007-07-16 09:25:01 What: “Big Idea”, Live.When: Friday Night, 13th July 2007.Where: Kwasuka Theatre on Stamfordhill Road, Morningside, Durban. Big Idea is a Durban based hip-hop group, something akin to the Roots, but purely South African. Rocking Durban Slang, they have three vocalists, a DJ, A Drummer, A sampler and a Bass Guitarist. The music sounds like a real hip-hop concert with a smooth jazz finish. The lyrics are specifically tailored to a Durban, South African Audience. There isn’t any tinge of a US Accent as these guys break it down talking about bunny chows, being chased by the Kerels, etc. etc. Other acts which were show cased at the concert was “Ewok”, the Durban based MC, who’s the only white rapper I know who sounds as delightfully commercial as Eminem and Bubba Sparxx, but whose lyrics show a level of knowledge and lyrical ineptness far above that of any South African (or White American) rapper I’ve ever heard. Another new hip-hopper which was showcased was Black Moss ...

To Catch a Pirate… 2007-07-10 05:07:57 From Adrants The MPAA launched a new site called Miivi.net in order to act like pirates and catch pirates in the act of pirating.  Hte site doesn’t exist anymorebecuase they pulled it off once the guys at Pirate Bay issued an alert about the self righteous organisations dirty tactics. With help from an equally pompous agency called Media Defender, the MPAA launched fake movie torrent Miivi, which promised “fast and easy downloading all in one great site.” The real purpose of the great site was to catch sinners in the act of sinning. There was even an app that simplified the downloading process. Pirate Bay called shenanigans, leaking news of the gross deception to ZeroPaid. The site got pulled shortly thereafter. Dumbasses.

Hackers Descend on the iPhone 2007-07-05 01:56:23 The race to hack the iPhone is on. Forum threads are buzzing with action, but so far the only achievements are the downloading of the iPhone firmware, and some sniffing of the traffic over the USB cable between iTunes and iPhone The root password, and that of the default user, named “mobile” have also been cracked. That’s significant as the root account gives access to the deepest levels of the operating system (it is also called the “superuser”), but there is no terminal access to enable a login yet. Immediate goals for hackers atthe moment are: 1) Bypass activation. This is the big one. If achieved, it will open up the possibility of unlocking the SIM lock and also the Network lock (which ties the phone to a particular provider). 2)Install Third Party Software.There were a lot of complaints when Steve Jobs revealed at Apple’s WWDC programmers conference that there would be no software development kit (SDK) for the iPhone. This is understandable. Y ... Iphone

Indian Men asked to “Join the Whitening Revolution” 2007-07-04 07:10:49 Nivea for Men has invited Indian men to participate in its new campaign, “Join the Whitening Revolution”. Nivea India is supporting the launch of Nivea for Men with a local campaign that invites men to beauty action through TV, print ads and POS materials. The campaign aims at establishing “Whitening” as the term for male fairness products.General Manager, Nivea India, Kai Bendix said, “The more than 500 million Indian men are a tremendous, yet untapped potential for the cosmetics industry and for Nivea.” From a marketing perspective I know that the market for “whitening” products is particularly big in Asia and the Middle East.  The same marketing or product wouldn’t fly in many places in Africa, especially South Africa… “So, you want me to become white? How insecure do you think I am?” However the new targeting towards men is very interesting.  This stuff would fly in Middle Eastern Countries, I once insulted an Arab ...
