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's commonly known as the 'black dog syndrome.'  Most people prefer least black pets and most pet adoption centers are filled with black dogs and cats because no one wants to take them for their color.  Isn't this crazy?!   All those who have been working with rescue groups for years have observed that  black dogs and cats are always the last to get adopted, if at all.  It's just so hard to understand the reasoning behind it.  I don't know why people have such weird mindsets. It is also widely understood that old superstitions is one of the very stupid reasons behind it. Some crazy folks think that black dogs and cats are "devils" and could bring bad luck and that sort of nonsense.
 
Check the following article at pawshpal.  Also visit the link at the end and scroll through to see the pics of those lovely yet unwanted black dogs no one wants to adopt.
 
Black Dog Syndrome: Black Dogs Get Adopted Last

*sigh*
 
This story makes me so sad, I don’t even know where to begin.
 
There is a phenomenon called “black dog syndrome”, which is also known as “black dog bias”.
 
What is it?
 
It’s EXACTLY what you think it is: people preferring non-black dogs over black dogs.

How prevalent is it?
 
It’s known well enough that there’s a Wikipedia article about it:

"Black dog bias is a veterinarian and animal shelter phenomenon in which black dogs are passed over for adoption in favor of lighter-colored animals. This is also common with cats. Although shelters disagree over the empirical basis for the bias, many take active measures to make black dogs more appealing. Black dog bias is also known as “big black dog syndrome.” Shelters often use the term BBD, or big black dog, to describe the type of larger dark-colored mixed-breed typically passed over by adopters."

How horrible is this?

(Some) people managed to transfer this mental disease from humans to dogs.

This is a terrible superstition.  And the Hadith buys its hatred for black dogs from this ancient European custom.
