What do you think of Syrian men?

Aug 19, 2009 by Lakshmi | Posted in Other - Cultures & Groups

I have never dated a Syrian man before. There is one I honestly like. We kissed today.
Does anyone know anything about Syrian culture or Syria? I'd like to learn more.
Someone told me to interrupt away from Syrian men? Why would that person tell me to stay away?
You're right Barry. I will ask him more about his culture. But I design it would be nice to learn a little myself out of consideration for him to show that I care to learn about it. I don't believe the culture will be a "predicament" at all.I just wanted to see what the general perception of Syrian men is across the world is. I really like him.
The woman who said that seems a bit racist anyway. This guy is really cute. I really like him and I'm scared in case I get my heart out of whack but I guess anyone from any country is capable of breaking a heart.

Ramadan: The Prophets - Prophet Hud (PBUH) - People of 'Ad?

Aug 19, 2009 by ~JAMAL~ | Posted in Ramadan

Fortune-teller Hud (PBUH) - People of 'Ad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Auzubillahi Mina'shaytan-nir Rajeem
Bismillah ir rahman ir rahim
---------------------------------
The people of 'Ad were large in stature and were skillful masons. God had given them abundance of wealth, cattle, children and gardens. They had attained a noticeable degree of civilization. Among them flourished the famous king Shaddad. He built a magnificent palace almost 'Aden. It was known as the Garden of Iram. He was a mighty king and his conquests extended to Syria, Iraq and the border of Sub- continent of Indo-Pakistan. These people were proud of their achievements and considered themselves to be invincible. They were indulged in sins and committed acts of wrong and violence. Instead of expressing a deep sense of gratitude to the Almighty God for the favors He had bestowed upon them, they became transgressors and showed disobedience to Him.

God sent to these people and to the metropolis of 'Ad a man named Hud. Since he was a man from amongst them, it was certain that they would be more inclined to listen to him. The people of 'Ad used to call Hud a crazy man. There was one man in particular, named Abu Thamud, who utilized to call the people to listen to Hud speak. He wanted to prove to the people that Hud had indeed become crazy. The people asked Abu Thamud, "We have knowledge of that Hud does not come to our gatherings nor does he believe in our gods. What has happened to him that he does not mingle with us?" Abu Thamud replied (mocking) that Hud declares that God sent him as a vaticinator and as a warner to the people of 'Ad. And unless they stop believing in statues, that a grievous punishment from God would occur.

The people of the burgh then decided to go to Hud and hear what he wanted from them. Hud replied that he did not want anything from them except that they believe in the One God. The people of the city refused to find credible and began to say that Hud had indeed gone crazy. Since they were so strong in body size, they used to believe that no one was more powerful than they. They insisted that they will not relinquish their gods. They also claimed that since Hud did not come with any signs, that he must be lying. Still another person said that if Hud wants them to leave their gods, then he must advance with the punishment that he is talking about.

"To the 'Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Honour God! Ye have no other god but Him. You are only forgers. "O my people! I ask of you no reward for this (Message). My reward is from none but Him who created me: Will ye not then understand? "And O my people! Ask pardon of your Lord, and turn to Him (in repentance): He will send you skies pouring abundant rain, and add strength to your asset: So turn ye not back in sin!" They said: "O Hud! No clear (Sign) hast thou brought us, and we are not the ones to quit our gods on thy word! Nor shall we believe in thee! "We say nothing but that (perhaps) some of our gods may have seized thee with unlucky." He said: "I call God to witness, and do ye bear witness, that I am free from the sin of ascribing to Him, "Other gods as partners!" (Qur'an 11:50-55)

However, Abu Thamud began to slowly keep one's ears open to what Hud was talking about. He began to believe in what Hud was saying about the one God and about how man would be resurrected after death. When the people of the city began to perceive what Abu Thamud was saying, they claimed that Hud must have put a spell on him. Abu Thamud insisted that Hud had put no spell on him but that he now believed that which Hud was saying. Abu Thamud further claimed that it is humorous to believe that statues that were made by man could have made the earth and all that it contained, along with the sky, stars, moon, and sun. He said that there surely had to be a higher being--One God.

Abu Thamud was now very joyful and told the people that he was now going to look for Hud. Before he left, he reminded the people that they should take a close look at the way they were living and believing in statues. He stated that the statues have no power and were of no use. He further stated that they should look at their lives and how profligate they were with gambling, intoxicants, and luxuries. Abu Thamud then proceeded to find Hud so that Hud could tell him more about God, the One, who created man with bounties and who will make man die and reanimate again. He then went to Hud and declared his faith in the one God.

Abu Thamud was then called Abdullah (the servant of God). He would get angry if anyone would call him by his previous name. The people of 'Ad still would aggregate b regain to Abdullah and try to convince him that Hud had put a spell on him. Each time Abdullah would declare his faith in the One God. Finally the people gave up on Abdullah. They gave him a bulletin to give to Hud. They wanted to relate to Hud that they would continue to believe in their gods. And that they would never believe in what Hud was preachin
preaching. They also wanted Hud to recover consciousness with the punishment he was talking about if what he said was true. Then the people of 'Ad returned to their homes laughing and mocking.

Abdullah went to Hud to get into to him what had happened. Hud said woe to them. Will they argue about the deities that they and their forefathers made with their own hands? Let them just wait. They deserve the reproof of God. He then stood up and prayed: "Give me victory on what they called me a liar." Then the order of God came - The penalty of no more rain. There was a terrible drought for three years. The grass and cattle were destroyed. Then a huge black cloud appeared. The people of 'Ad were very on top of the world when they saw this cloud because they assumed that it contained much rain. They declared that this cloud would bring back the land and the rivers would originate again.
. Little did they know what was in store for them. Instead, this black cloud brought a terrible wind that would pinch men up and then drop them with such force that they would crush. Many men even tried to escape this wind by hiding in the mountain caves. However, there was no take French leave from this wind. This wind would even follow them in the caves. The Holy Qur'an describes:

"And the 'Ad,-they were destroyed by a furious Vain speech, exceedingly violent: He made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that you couldst see the (whole) people treacherous overthrown in its (path) as if they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!" (Qur'an 69:6-7)
The people of 'Ad toughened to boast that there was none stronger than they. God surely proved them wrong for their disobedience. God destroyed not only the people of 'Ad, but the entire megalopolis as well.

"Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! Did they not see that God, Who created them, was elevated to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!" (Qur'an 41:15)

Hud and his faithful followers who had left to another place, were the only ones who survived this regretful punishment from God.

"We saved him and those who adhered to him, by Our Mercy and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our Signs and did not believe." (Qur'an 7:72)

Afterwards the bit who survived established themselves in Yemen. The grave of the Prophet Hud (AS) is in Hadramaut. It is visited by the Muslims in the month of Rajab.

how Turkish government (AKP) divides country for interest of the US ?

Aug 19, 2009 by OlcayKar-Turkey | Posted in Politics

Not only Turkey, Syria, Iran, Shia Iraqi, and Sunni Iraki cannot up new state in this region
MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli, likewise, strongly criticized the prime minister. Bahçeli likened Erdoğan to the Ottoman statesman Damat Mehmed Ferid Pasha, who agreed to brand the Treaty of Sevres, which comprised disastrous conditions targeting the unity of Turkey.

“A global design has been realized under the name of democratization. Nobody can divide the country by creating minorities and then pretending to give so-called minority rights to my Kurdish brothers who in behalf of Kurdish. The latest step is to establish an independent Kurdistan,” Bahçeli said. “I expectation on my honor that I will make those who harm the country pay for their actions

RAMaDAN SECT:::Why did the Muslims fell in the 'ill' Plan.......?

Aug 19, 2009 by Son of Islam-Soldier | Posted in Ramadan

I refer to the Arab Uprising and the Middle Eastern theatre of WW1.

Why did the Arabs turn their sides against the Ottomans.Which later led in the creation of many of the Arab position.

Even the Revolt Flag was designed by an Englishman Mark Syke while the Whole revolt was planned by T.E Lawrence.

"The Arab Revolution which began in 1916 turned the tide against the Ottomans at the Middle Eastern front, where they initially seemed to have the upper help during the first two years of the war. When the Armistice of Mudros was signed on October 30, 1918, the only parts of the Arabian peninsula that were still under Ottoman hold sway over were Yemen, Asir, the city of Medina, portions of northern Syria and portions of northern Iraq. These territories were handed over to the British forces on January 23, 1919. The Ottomans were also ordered to vent the parts of the former Russian Empire in the Caucasus (in present-day Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) which they had gained towards the end of WWI, following Russia's hideaway from the war with the Russian Revolution in 1917."
