November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

It happened recently in Egypt where a donkey was imprisoned for a while for stealing food, corn on the cob.

But before reading the story, check this pic.  It's indeed extremely sad that animals are treated this way in certain parts of the world.  Children from a young age should be taught to respect the rights of animals, so that they realize that animals too are living beings who feel pain and exhaustion like humans.  In this picture, a poor donkey is overloaded with agricultural produce.  Additionally, the young boy sits on top of the greens, oblivious of the hardships being faced by the little animal that's been given a task far beyond its capacity.  


Lovely cute lil donkey

Egypt donkey jailed for theft

CAIRO (AFP) - An Egyptian donkey has been jailed for stealing corn on the cob from a field belonging to an agricultural research institute in the Nile Delta, local media reported on Thursday.

The donkey and its owner were apprehended at a police checkpoint that had been set up after the institute's director complained that someone was stealing his crops, the state-owned Al-Ahram daily said.

The unnamed ungulate was found in possession of the institute's corn and a local judge sentenced him to 24 hours in prison. The man who had his donkey thrown in jail got off with a fine of 50 Egyptian pounds (nine dollars, six euros).


I didn't know they were so stupid and crazy in Mubarak's Egypt.

As someone said in the talkback:
"I wonder who the lucky inmate is who gets to share a cell with this magnificent beast."

Such treatment of animals really upset me a lot.  And donkeys are so often targetted with this scourge of carrying loads that are often twice the size of the poor animal.  It's absolutely heart-breaking.  I once saw back in my country of origin .. so much stuff was put on a donkey cart pulled by a single little donkey that when the cart stood still the animal got lifted in the air by the weight of the goods in the cart.  It just made me cry. 

It's strange to read that Egypt jails a donkey for "stealing" corn while the Egyptian president is the biggest thief who steals millions of dollars every year. 

Thanks for this post, sister cat.  Salaams to you Smiley
