November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
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.

Stupidity can also sometimes make the human mind creative.  A French guy named Alain Robert has the most peculiar 'career.'  He's a professional climber of the world's tallest buildings.  Uptil now he has climbed more than 80 such buildings around the world.  His climbing events are unofficial but they attract huge crowds and cheering which include plenty of media photograpghers as well.  And, after each such event, Robert ends up getting arrested for a while and paying fine.  A few times he's also had to pay heavy fines.  However, the guy is a lone and simple professional climber.  He goes about with this self-given task alone, without an entourage.  He has no manager, advisers, secretary etc.   And he certainly has lots of courage!

Visit to the following site to read about the adventures of Alain Robert with photos and videos of all his climbing events.   It's pretty enthralling.

LOL!  yeah .. I saw this docu on TV.  Pretty amazing, really.  Just watching it made me dizzy.  with my fear of heights, I cannot even go up comfortably a spiral staircase from the ground floor to the 2nd storey. 

No wonder Robert has "contemplated his death" while on one of his daring errands.  This is something he should quite naturally be contemplating every day!   What makes it still more surprising is that the guy has a family with a wife and 1 or 2 small kids.  But he doesn't even seem to care for his life for their sake.
