As with Christmas and New Year in some other countries, the current Ramadan season and the approach of Eid Al-Fitr in Islamic countries means it is the time for gift giving and the sending of cards see pictured.
A woman who was travelling through life like a whirlwind realised that just two days before Eid that she hadn't sent out any greeting cards.
So without a moment's hesitation she drew up a long list of friends and relatives and she hurried down to the nearby supermarket. Sprinting through the shopping aisles she finally located some boxes of cards which pictured the peace, goodwill and serenity of the season. She raced home, penned the cards, licked the stamps, tore out and dumped them in the nearest mailbox.
Soon she was back at the kitchen table, her fingers in a pose of prayerful relief. A smile slowly softened her harried appearance and she congratulated herself for completing the chore with such efficiency.
Quietly nursing a cup of coffee she noticed the remaining cards still in their boxes and realising she hadn't actually bothered to read the message she picked one of them up. The outside of the card had a lovely greeting but when she opened the card, to her horror, there was a message that consisted of this one line: "This simple note is just to say This wasn't the message she'd intended to convey! So often we move at breakneck speed thinking we're saving the world but unaware that we're giving out the wrong messages.

Dr Jeehan Qadir, a leading physician in the UAE, has called for more education to be offered to the public about cosmetic surgery. Regulation of standards and the eradication of incompetent cheats are vital as is education about surgical methods and how one chooses a qualified surgeon. But before the Emirates fully embraces this multi-billion dollar global industry it is important that the public understanding extends beyond the physical and emotional dimensions of cosmetic surgery to the cultural and spiritual facets.
Many interpreters of Islam e. Central Mosque. Com , Islam Channel , Islam Online do not permit cosmetic surgery for beautification stating that it is allowed only in cases of deformity or damage.
Many outside the faith often wonder why cosmetic surgery is needed or desired by people who cover up but those seeking physical change by surgery are often also seeking emotional enhancement. One wonders, however, how people seeking physical renewal and the reversal of the effects of aging will maintain face when they undergo surgical changes that they know are contrary to their faith and the religious and cultural values of the United Arab Emirates.

Bernard Lewis on the Crisis of Islam. I think it's very important that we should understand it…. On the one hand we have the image of Muslims as barbarians, the traditional image of a Saracen riding out of the desert on horseback with a sword in one hand and a Koran in the other offering their victims a choice between the two. On the other hand we have Islam as a religion of love and peace, like the Quakers but without their aggressiveness. Both of these are, of course, nonsense. Both are wildly exaggerated, and the truth is in its usual place somewhere between the two.

Following some recent court cases concerning the jailing of a lesbian couple for kissing on a Dubai beach and a heterosexual pair charged with sex in the sand, the New York Times has published an article about the moderate influences of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
Many see Dubai as a model to which other Arab cities might aspire with its prescription for moderation and freedom for young people to redefine themselves. Much of the lifestyle must be kept secret and success depends on what people can get away with. Not all people escape the arm of the law. While many Internet sites are blocked firmly and clearly identified as being outside the cultural parameters and religious values of the UAE, many questionable activities are being experienced in a cloudy coherence of mosques and bars, gay and gain, halal and haram.
Does the lax moral behavior Slackman describes and the strong arm of the law in recent moral court cases, make for a city and country where values are in flux, standards are confusing and punishment is difficult to fathom?
First Impressions of Emiratis and the Emirates.
