How. Dare. You. How DARE you. 

HELL TO THE NO.

Oh wow, this is absolutely disgusting…and this person I presume calls themselves a Muslim…wow. How could you? What gives such a person the nerve to judge someone like that, to tell Diana that no less; no one is perfect we are only human. I’m sorry you have to deal with such ignorance Diana.

I can’t even. I’m not even a Muslim but I find the religion beautiful and full of truths that affirm the self in my chosen faith (Christianity). So am I not allowed to “join” in the beauty of the religion even if I am not a self-proclaimed Muslim? That’s not a very good way to gain acceptance from others. I’m kind of sad that the co-runner of this blog even had to deal with this, much less that someone feels that way about other religions as well.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R …
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call an ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital. At 6:00 pm, Ingrid passed away.
She had suffered a stroke at the party. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

And it could be your own.

First reblog post that actually saves a fucking life.

This is a life-saving post.

the more you know

yeah don’t think that this can’t happen to you or someone you know if they’re young. my cousin’s wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year

I’ve had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.

LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG 

Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.

Remember:

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

Joseph (peace and blessings be upon him) in Bible and Quran.

[Image/Wordpress] 

It is highly fascinating to observe Muslims who fear to pick up a copy of the Bible from their local library, not much less own a copy of their own. They instill this fear of other religions in their children and therefore their children instill it in their own. Fortunately, the Muslim youth of today’s society are very much open minded and are willing to sincerely understand the perspective of other religious folk who share different faiths than their own.

However, this fear that exists in the older generations is very dangerous. They do not realize that these insecurities are destructive and will not allow us to progress as a Muslim community. But one must also note that their fear is merely derived from their insecurities and not from the possibility of being confused by ideologies that are different from their own.

 Because of this, you will find our older generation falling prey to leaders who condemn students that learn from religious books other than Quran. You will find our elders nodding away in approval at leaders who openly forth state that there is no point in understanding and observing the ways of other religious people. It is a shame to admit that these people do exist but contrary to popular belief, this is not the way of Muhammad. Also, this is not the way of Jesus Christ. And more importantly, this is not the way of Abraham, the father of the Abrahamic religions.

God teaches us in the Bible that Abraham and his descendants would be “of a great people or nation (Genesis 12:2).” You will find this to be true in Quran as well where God states:  “And We bestowed on him Isaac and Jacob, and We established the prophet hood and the Scripture among his seed, and We gave him his reward in the world, and lo! In the Hereafter he verily is among the righteous (Ankabut 29:27).”

What especially intrigued me in my theology class was the narration of Prophet Jacob (peace and blessings be upon him), for it is quite similar in the Quran. In fact, the Quran has an entire chapter devoted to the life of Jacob and his family. But I couldn’t help but note the slight difference between the stories of the Prophets of God in the Quran and in the Bible in terms of their reputation. Some might find this insulting while other might find this amusing, but I found it quite interesting because it raises several important issues in terms of theological differences between the Christians and Muslims.

The Christians are taught that the Prophets of God have failed miserably when applying the law of God (in terms of morality) to their own selves. You will find that Abraham was quite forgetful, Noah was merely a drunkard, and that Lot slept with his daughters. However, Quran preserves the reputations of the Prophets of God and describes them as the best of creation. Despite this theological difference, I was immensely intrigued by the description of Jacob because the story line is quite similar in Quran. This comes to show how Quran and the Bible share more similarities than dissimilarities; we as Muslims need to acknowledge this fact. 

We as Muslims need to stop bickering over how we’re the rightly guided folks while everyone is doomed to hell and realize that there’s more to study than we believe. Open you hearts and your minds and you’ll find more truth in places you’ve never thought would exist there.

An Iowa newspaper takes a tough front-page stance against bullying

Today’s Sioux City Journal devoted their full front page to an editorial about a gay teen who recently committed suicide. On the death of 14-year-old Kenneth Weishuhn, which the paper called “a kind-hearted, fun-loving teenage boy,” the paper had this to say: “This is not a failure of one group of kids, one school, one town, one county or one geographic area. Rather, it exposes a fundamental flaw in our society, one that has deep-seated roots. Until now, it has been too difficult, inconvenient — maybe even painful — to address. But we can’t keep looking away.”  A must-read that offers concrete solutions to a major cultural problem; check it out for yourself. (page via Newseum; thanks sarahlee310 for spotting)

What a difference it might make if other papers cared enough about their communities to be so bold.  The Sioux City Journal deserves all the recognition we can muster for it. Thanks for posting the graphic and the quote.
