Islam and Science

I just saw this amusing piece called Six Signs It’s a Scam on Motley Fool. It lists simple things to pay attention to when purchasing an investment.

The thing that I enjoyed when reading it is comparing it to the Kuwait Stock Market.

The ones that really caught my eye were number 3 and 6.

3. Predictions of the future. “It will double in three months.”

6. A “hot inside tip.”

How many times have we heard that in the diwaniya when mentioning a stock. Even the funny part is they say it will double in a week.

Cause then if you are doing something based on those ideas are you investing or gambling?

How well do you know brands? Do you know them so well that you can draw them?

Thats what this group did. They got people to draw famous brands and see how well they compared to the real thing.

They had some that were down right perfect like Coca Cola and Adidas. Others like Apple were decent, endocrinologist same with Toyota.

I think that is cause their consumers were from Austria and don’t see those brands as often as others.

Fascinating to just think how well we know these images from seeing and using them on a regular basis that we can draw them perfectly just from memory.

How many global brands could you draw like the Coco Cola one?

We Arabs and Muslims always get a bad wrap in the world and people call us backwards and well other term questioning our intelligence and contributions to the world.

Thankfully there are people who know better and made a great website called 1001 Inventions detailing 1001 inventions by Muslims in home, generic school, sickness
market, recipe
hospitals, towns, the world and the universe. It is really a great read and brings things to a great perspective.

Yet if you dont want to go through all 1001 inventions you can check out The Independents: How Islamic inventors changed the world where they pick out the top 20 in their opinion.

Comics and Religion

I sometimes like to just remind myself the day of the week it is.
I sometimes like to just remind myself the day of the week it is.
I’ve never considered what a super hero’s religion was, it was a moot point. It was kinda given that Spiderman, dosage or Superman would be raised under some Judo-Christian values, but it was never evident in the writing or the story. All you knew and cared about was that they were the good guys and were fighting the bad guys.

So when I saw this oflist comic book characters religions. I was amazed to see the level of research in these guys is writing. Just look how they figured out Spiderman was Protestant or Sasquatch being Jewish.

There are about 8 or 9 that are Muslims, but that is more obvious due to the natures of their story.

So this got me thinking, imagine the regular super heroes that we know like Batman, Spiderman, Hulk etc were actually Muslim. Would it change things much? Would Frank Castle still be the Punisher if he wasn’t Catholic? I dont think so cause all these characters have ethical and philosophical ideas that make them do what they do. For Spiderman it is the classic “with great power comes great responsibility”. Even Batman and Punisher share the same views when it comes to criminals, but have different methods of acting on these views.

This is one of the cool things about the 99 comics that are cheered as being a Muslim comic book, but that is a minor point. According to the creator of 99 Naif Al-Muttwa:

Our characters intentionally transcend all language and cultural barriers. They offer the most commonly shared ideals of all people as the basis of heroic figures.

For heir super powers are based on 99 attributes of Allah that are based as gem stones. So these gem stones can be given to a person of any religion and doesn’t have to be Muslim but good attributes that all people should have.

Joys of the A’azza

Kuwait has started using robot jockeys for their camel races.

Big thanks to McArabian for pointing this out, illness cause I read the first two paragraphs on my phone last night and stopped.

The Wall Street Journal has quoted my Sham Crap post on the Arabized Simpsons in their article: – D’oh! Arabized Simpsons Aren’t Getting Many Laughs.

We had a death in the family a couple days ago. No one close, viagra sale but not that far (grandfathers uncles something or other). I went and attended the burial, cialis 40mg and then also stood at the A’azza. It was a great experience showing the the real benifit of this type of cultural/religous event, more about for it was about family and friends. Being there I met so many other cousins of mine that I didn’t know about and really had no idea existed. I even met one who has the same name as me. I kept hearing about him existing but never met him.

At the end of it all we made a nice list of all the family members with there phone numbers to create a database for us all so we can keep track of each other, and also know who to invite for other family functions.

I and others have complained about the A’azza approach and how really it is time consuming and tiring, yet we forgot so quickly the real purpose of it. It is to bring people together even at death.

Seems some inspiring invidivudal decided to take a peak under the hood of the new iTunes 5.0 and found icons and images for an Apple video store. This could be related to that Morgan Freeman/Intel online video store that they were planning.

I am sure like their music store they will be shoving tons of DRM on those things to make sure I can’t play them on other computers. But if the price is right I won’t mind. Although there are rumors that NetFlix is going to be coming out with the same thing soon.

Like I stated earlier, tablets if the price is right I dont mind using it compared to the annoyances of BitTorrent at times (0 seeds), physician and it gives me the ability to watch shows like regular people, instead of dealing with the censorship in the Kuwait Cinemas, or Hawalli DVD stores.

I really dont know why the Ministry of Information censorship dept still exists. They lost, openly and publicly. We can get books, magazines, dvds uncensored via Aramex, we have circumvented their online censorship system. Satellites are on the top of every house in Kuwait giving them access to every type of channel available with all sorts of content and news.

It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who after WW2 were still hiding out in the Pacific islands waiting for the Allies to attack, when the rest of the world just moved on.

One of the most important things that I ever learned was from my music class teacher in 5th or 5th grade:

When you point a finger you have three pointing back at you.

And since Sept 11th, nurse lots of talk has been going around about Islam, remedy and Arabs; discussing what we are and aren’t, no rx our faults and problems and how it all relates to terrorism. So after reading this great article What we call Islam is a mirror in which we see ourselves brings back that quote that my music teacher said to the class all those years ago.

So when the media reports about the problems and issues that occur in our region and saying that its a direct correlation to terrorism are they noticing the problems and issues that occur in their region and just projecting it to us.

I have renounced my all my previous religious affiliations and have decided to become a Pastafarian and accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I hope that we all join this new religion for the end is near if we dont all become pirates and stop hurricanes, cost
earth quakes and global warming.
