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.

Concerning the story of James Bartley, as usual repudiators prop up to discredit anything unusual they learn.  The fault finders include an American university professor, Edward B. Davis, and the wife of the ship's captain, so-called Mrs. John Killam.   

Davis admits there was a ship named Star of the East and its captain, J.B. Killam.   His only two findings he claims as "evidences" are: 

(1) Though he confirmed a man named Bartley was treated in a London hospital  for the effects of the whale’s gastric juices on his skin, he could not find any "substantiation for it."   What substantiation is Davis looking for?  And how does that missing "substantiation" refute the incident altogether?   Many patients want privacy of the details of their medical problems, particularly medical issues arising from an episode that makes headlines.

(2) Davis claims he found a few sketchy documents about this voyage and didn't find James Bartley's name listed as a crew member.  This is a very flimsy evidence or no evidence.  It goes both ways.  Remember there weren't any computerized records in those days.  Many such inventories and records back in the 1800s (for that matter even at present) do not list the names of each and every person, particularly the very junior workers in a voyage or land expedition etc.  So, if decades later Davis assumes a document or two infer there was no James Bartley in that voyage, what's the authenticity of the list which confirms that it included the names of every single person in that voyage?  Davis hasn't spoken on that.   Even when the Titanic sank in 1912, many of the names of the dead as well as the survivors were later found to be conflicting with the names listed in whatever documents recovered.   

Concerning Mrs. John Killam, her story is a complete hearsay.  She claims she was in this voyage.  No one including Davis tried to confirm this through any documents.  This woman supposedly wrote a letter to a friend or acquaintance (name never mentioned) claiming she accompanied her husband on every voyage of the Star of the East and she never saw or knew of anyone falling overboard and that the sailors spun a "sea yarn."   Confirmation nor evidence of Mrs. Killam's travel history are neither mentioned nor available. No one ever spoke directly to this woman nor did she gave any direct statements to the press or any other official source.  Yet her story becomes an "evidence" to refute the James Bartley incident which is a lot more widely known in the history of medieval voyages. 

The problem is that trouble-making fault pickers have an advantage because no one bothers to mull through the yarn they weave to construct their own narratives.
