Is Google afraid of Islam?

January 7, 2010  |  General  |  No Comments

(btw ^ that image is a fake )

Is what Google did right ? Google says it was a bug and they’re working on it but I believe they did it on purpose. I think  the whole religion thing is a touchy subject and Google should not suggest for all religions. For the search comparisons Click read more

As The Next Web has reported, typing Islam is into Google shows no terms from Google Suggest.

But replace Islam with a number of other major religions — such as Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. — and Google Suggest shows a variety of terms, including many negative ones like … is a lie, is false, is a cult, etc. The discrepancy between how these religions are portrayed and the lack of suggested terms for Islam is led some to accuse Google of favoritism.

Not so, Google says. A spokesperson tells us: “This is a bug and we’re working to fix it as quickly as we can.”

Peacemaking in the Mideast: Obama's Year of Missteps

Peacemaking in the Mideast: Obama’s Year of Missteps

January 5, 2010  |  Worth Reading  |  No Comments

It has taken President Obama just 10 months to achieve something each of his immediate predecessors delivered in their final year in office: failure in the Middle East peace process. Riding a wave of optimism in January, the President on his second day in office named retired Senator George Mitchell as his Middle East special envoy, tasked with kick-starting the dormant negotiations over a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Despite his best intentions, Mitchell’s — and Obama’s — efforts have managed only to undermine peace advocates on all sides and have pushed hopes for a final agreement into the distant future. The President now faces tough choices over how to proceed.(See pictures of Israeli soldiers sweeping into Gaza.)

Obama distinguished himself from his predecessors by attacking the problem early; Bill Clinton and George W. Bush waited until their lame-duck years to do so.

Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention- First impressions

First impressions Round up

If you were at RIS on Friday you would have notice the crowd was bigger than last year. It was Estimated that 17,000 people were there.  The hall was soo packed that there were people standing all the way at the back.

Two things RIS needs to improve on: better crowd control and more food vendors. There is only one major exit and entrance for the major hall. So it takes about 10 mins to get out;  the bazzar has bigger entrance and exitwith no wait time . With 17,000 people you would think  they would have alot more food vendors; but they don’t. With the few vendors they do have the line ups are between 15 and 20 mins wait.

With all that said this is still the best convention to go to in North America

Muslim Prayers and Renewal Near Ground Zero

December 10, 2009  |  Worth Reading  |  No Comments

A five-story building at 45 Park Place, two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, now houses a Muslim prayer space. Burlington Coat Factory operated a store there until Sept. 11, 2001, but it had been vacant since then, until a group of Muslims bought it in July.

“Built in 1923, the building at 45 Park Place was bought by Sy Syms, the discount retailer, and a partner, Irving Pomerantz, in 1968, and became one of the early Syms stores. The store closed in 1990, the partners parted ways, and the Pomerantz family then leased the building to the Burlington Coat Factory.
On Sept. 11, the store, with 80 employees, was one of 250 Burlington outlets nationwide owned by the Milstein family. That morning, recalled Stephen Milstein, the company’s former general manager and vice president, the staff was in the basement when a piece of a plane plunged through the roof, either from American Airlines Flight 11 crashing into the north tower at 8:46 a.m., or United Airlines Flight 175 crashing into the south tower at 9:03.”

Toronto Zoo gorilla ‘names’ son Nassir

November 18, 2009  |  General  |  No Comments

With his stomach as his guiding force, it took Charles just a few moments to choose the name for his offspring at the Toronto Zoo this morning.

Faced with five pails, all filled with a mix of fruit and each labelled with one of the short-listed names for his son, the daddy gorilla lumbered over to the pail marked “Nassir.”
