In schools in the middle east, they have taught us about "el foto7at el eslamia'' and how the prophet PBUH used to free people and invite them to Islam. But now as some people are accusing our Prophet and Muslims of violence and the problem is that some Muslims have doubts. It is only natural to have these doubts but the problem lies in having no one to make those people's faith strong again and then they began to question Islam and let those people who hate Islam effect them.
Now people are trying so hard to find faults in Islam and to make Muslims doubt Islam and to make them less believers.
Here lies the role of the family and the parents because schools don't teach us how to response to people when they talk bad about Islam and when they insult our Prophet and that's a big mistake. Instead of repeating the same facts that we have learned by the heart, teachers can bring up new issues in the class and discuss them and make students believe again and know what's right and what's wrong. And here's another obstacle which is "discussing" because we don't have that in the middle eastern schools, because when they talk about these new issues they just make a lecture or preach and they don't allow students to say what they want or even to ask some questions. Also if students have the opportunity to ask, they wouldn't because we're not used to that in schools.

I'm bringing this up because a friend of mine questioned Islam and didn't know what to think because my friend was somehow convinced about what other people said or thought about Islam.
I'm not preaching anything but I don't know the point these people who talk about Islam in that way and trying to find alibis to make people think wrong about Islam.

Also I've noticed some irrelevant things being brought up together which are: beards and Hijab!
Some people want the Iraqi government to be without people wearing or having those, because they think it's only bringing Iraq backwards instead of forward. Yes, some men have beards just to show how religious they are when in fact they don't know anything about Islam, and yes the Iraqi government maybe would be better with less of those fake religious men. But Hijab! Aren't muslims supposed to know the purpose of it? but they obviously don't!!!
Yes, some wear it because they have to and some for fashion purposes (don't how that works but I guess it's there) and some wear it because it's a tradition so the reasons differ but all for the same thing.
We need people to know why do we wear Hijab!!! because some actually chose to wear it! believe that or not! so I just don't know what do they have against Hijab, if they don't want to wear it, don't! and stop there and shut up about it!

Another issue that is Muslims in foreign countries like the UK, USA and these countries. I have noticed that there are two kinds of muslims there, 1. those who are strict muslims and they watch every move their kids make and so on. 2. those whose kids don't know a single Arabic word and they don't know anything about Islam. and just the other day we were discussing about who should be blamed for this? the parents? the kids? and we thought that the kids didn't have anything to do with moving or anything and they just don't know how to learn because they have their parents who chose to not teach them anything about where they come from and whats Islam. so it's really the parents fault that they decide not to talk to their kids in Arabic or teach them about Islam. and well it's problem even though parents think that they don't have anything to do with the middle east anymore but what if they come back one day will their kids be considered as Arabs? or as Muslims?

so I just wanted to say some things about Islam-related issues and what I thought about them, and there I've said it. :)

~ SONG ~ !

So I haven't updated you on what's new and hot at the music world! Let me do that,
Here are a list of the great songs We're listening to these days:
Let me start with OneRepublic (they're awesome awesome awesome!) :

-Dreaming our loud (Hello sir, we look for Monday. Confident we'll get there someday)
one of our favourite songs Ever:
-COME HOME (hello world, hope you're listening, forgive me if I'm young, or for speaking out of turn! --- they're in the wrong place trying to make it right, but I'm tired of justifying, so I'll say you'll come home, come home!)

Leona Lewis:
-Better in Time (coming going thought I heard a knock, who's there? no one! thinking that I deserve it, but I realized that I really didn't know) GREAT song.
- Yesterday (they can take tomorrow and the plan we've made, they can take the music that we'll never play).

John Mayer: Why Georgia and Daughters.

- Take you there - Sean Kingston
- Stand - Rascal Flatts
- Hands on me - Vanessa Carlton

They're thinking for us!

I've been having these thoughts these last weeks:

"A bomb in Baghdad" "People killed in Palestine" same headlines, and we! we don't even care, we watch the news with a dead heart. and we see those horrible pictures/scenes like it's a normal thing.


We don't have our own opinion over anything now, our opinions are served to us on tv, when we watch the news, we only see what they want us to see, and they only show it from their point of view -don't know who's they-! Al-Jazeera for an example goes -or supposingly goes- by this: "al ra2i w al ra2i ala5ar" as in it shows different views.
We've stopped watching it ages ago, I don't even know if we have it now or not, and I don't even care.

There are a few channels that don't give you personalized news, and they give you news from an objective point of view and let you decide what you want to think.
Surely there's a lot of news we're not hearing about, this world has some terrible stuff more than we know, maybe more than we can imagine.

Our teachers always ask us about the news when they have watched to brag about that and to tell us that we should be updated on what's happening in the world. but if we ask them what's happening in the world in a day they haven't brought that up they'll tell that: my kid was screaming all day, or I've been busy grading your papers or any other excuse! Well, we've never asked them so that's just me imagining what they'd say.


And also apart from the news, when they advertise for anything they say: It's the best!!!
well, let us decide, how about that? :P

Bugged...

It's Friday, and I'm bored.
I'm dressed up, dunno why?! I'm not going anywhere today but I thought I can dress up at home :)
Since yesterday we're planning to make a strawberry milkshake but something everything come up, yesterday we didn't have milk, so mom got us milk and now we just figured out that we don't have vanilla! :'( don't know when we'll make it? but I'll tell you how it is when we make it, it's going to be the first time that we'll ever make a milkshake. :)

Exams are coming up, they're were supposed to be on the 26th of May, and we were supposed to finish on the 3rd of June, now we're starting at the 31th of May and we don't when we'll finish.
"So just four days! Not much." Correction: SIX days!!
"That way you'll have more time to study" Why would we want that?!
They think that we're finishing really early and that's why they delayed them, they made the timetable for the exams. ARGHHHHH! I'm so *bugged*!

Nightmares and a fall?!

Well, I've had my share of nightmares, and some have been really scary, but this one is the most freaky nightmare I've ever had. It was a horror movie, with a masked killer who was after us and we hid somewhere and then we found him on the ceiling watching us :S then I opened my eyes and kept checking the room, I was even afraid of the sheet. But still I managed to sleep after that.

I've been thinking lately about falling in class, seriously, not as in planning to, but I can see myself falling in class and in a presence of a teacher. I've been also thinking to fall to get this thought out of my head. Maybe I won't do it, but I'll just see if I fall. I know it's strange but I can't help these thoughts from coming into my mind.
