Child marriage is horror not an institution

Marriage is an institution, a binding relation, a beautiful experience, a God’s commandment, and a life long commitment. Child marriage on the other hand is a horror, a disease, a taboo, a despicable act, a torture, and a truth in many countries / societies around the World and nearby.
There can be absolutely no justification for [...]

Why do we support Jewish fashion industry, while Israel massacres Gaza civilians?

Kuwait and other countries in the GCC has always patronized high fashion, designer boutiques, and premium fashion brands. Some of these well-known brands are owned by designers of Jewish origin. If we could raise our concerns when a Danish cartoonist published caricatures of Prophet [PBUH] by boycotting all their products, its time we raise our [...]

Israeli soldiers admit “Purification” agenda in Gaza

So the holocaust survivors progeny considers their mission of Gaza massacre is nothing more than “purification”. Well Nazi’s called it ethnic cleansing, so I guess Israelis are heeding to Nazi principals in Gaza now. This video was banned by the Israeli establishment, but released anyways by an Israeli channel.

The doctor said, “Same boring thing”. Thank God for that..

Lovely weather..aint’it..?!! NOT…[watch Borat to get this one]
Visited the doctor early in the morning, and guess what, had 2 patients ahead of me, and 4 behind me.

How to force Google search results in English in FireFox?

This became annoying as I had to switch to Google english everytime I would search for something manually. Unfortunately this behavior is by design from [...]

Israels’ Army have launched a channel on YouTube where they are uploading videos from bombing aircrafts over Gaza. In the above video they allege that a mosque in Gaza has hidden missiles, and then they go about bombing the Mosque.
