Aishah on FaceBook Steroids *lol*
Okay - tried Yahoo 360, got started on MySpace to keep up with my daughters *lol*, graduated to Blogger (it's been a positive experience), work in WordPress as part of my job (no thx on a personal level), but recently I fell into FaceBook...and it's been a roller coaster ride from there! Wow! How cool is FaceBook? I'm rockin' it for sure! *lol*
And for those concerned about the situation in Gaza, I'm doin' my homework on that front as well.
See you there, insha'Allah!

"This is a step forward in advancing independent Muslim media," Bray told IOL.
WASHINGTON (IOL) Dec. 25, 2008 — Recognizing the importance of the media, American Muslim community leaders have launched a live radio talk show from Washington to give an accurate image of their community.
"We are the only Muslim voice on a popular radio – New World Radio WUST 1120 AM – from the nation's capital," Crescent Report host Mahdi Bray told IslamOnline.net.
The 30-minute radio show titled, "The Crescent Report", Bray's brainchild, targets the over 1.5 million listeners in the greater Washington area.
Starting on Sundays from 11.30 am until 12.00 noon, The Crescent Report aims to give an accurate image of the Muslim faith to the American listening audience.
"The mission for broadcasting this show is to give an authentic voice to the Muslim community in the United States and present the true image of Islam before the wider world," stated Bray, who also serves as executive director of MAS Freedom, the civic and human rights advocacy entity of the Muslim American Society.
The radio show, returning from a brief hiatus after its original 2004 launch, returned to the airwaves Sunday, December 21, 2008 with special guest Keith Ellison, America's first Muslim Congressman, who spoke about prospects and challenges facing American Muslims, now estimated at nearly seven million.
"Audience participation was exhilarating," Bray added.
Bray said the show will focus on current events but also invites the listening audience to talk about issues such as current affairs, politics, Islam, cultural events, civic and religious rights and responsibilities, Islamic economics, and even fashion.
Guests will not be restricted to those residing in America, "They can be from anywhere," noted Bray.
Bray added, "This is a step forward in advancing independent Muslim media, and we hope to expand the program from thirty minutes to a full hour in the months ahead."
Much Needed
Co-host Ibrahim Abdil-Mu’id Ramey, MAS Freedom’s Civil and Human Rights Director, said the radio show is an effective tool to reach out to the diverse Muslim and non-Muslim community in Washington D.C.
"It is both our social and religious responsibility to let people know of the great treasure of Islamic religion."
Jameel Hussain, a 34-year-old cab driver, says he is proud of listening to a Muslim-hosted show in the heart of America.
"So far, we have been only hearing on mainstream media that Muslims are terrorists. But this will certainly change the image of Muslims as a civilized nation and Islam as a religion of peace," he told IOL.
Since the 9/11 attacks, American Muslims have become sensitized to an erosion of their civil rights, with a prevailing belief that the U.S. government was targeting their faith.
Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the largest Jewish movement in the United States has accused mainstream media and politicians of demonizing Islam and portraying Muslims as "satanic figures".
"The Crescent Report is a landmark step in the right direction," Hakeem Khan, a 45-year-old shopkeeper, told IOL.
He hopes the duration of the show extended to one hour.
"Without a vibrant and independent media outlet, Muslims will continue to struggle for a reasonable and just place in American society."

Millions of Muslims Tune-in for Subversive Soap 'Noor' - WHY?!?
It is from the sofa in my living room that I have, three or four times now, found "Noor" (a 'soap' based on an affluent Muslim family in Turkey) next in line on satellite channel MBC4, after half-watching some other program – which is how it happens that I have developed a few thoughts on what has been described as an 'obsession' to millions of viewers - particularly, apparently, in Saudi Arabia. Anyhow, after reading a recent Washington Post article on the subject of Noor, I decided to give voice to those sentiments.
Of course, as some of you may also know, I do not, for the most part, understand Arabic, but a person doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to understand what is in front of their eyes…
Excerpts from Washington Post article with my comments:
COMMENT 1: Subject title - our obsession with Noor is reported on in Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/02/AR2008080201547_2.html
The only part of this program that I can understand might be worthy of 'obsession'/emulation is the fact that it has initiated discussion of the contrasts found in the intimate relationships between the husband and wife lead characters (it's the only relationship in the series that sets out the concept of compassion) and, apparently, what other viewers find lacking in their own relationships. How sad, however, that we are not more enamored or inspired by the countless examples of the compassion found in Prophet Mohamed Salla Allahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam.
COMMENT 2: Article Title - A Subversive Soap Roils Saudi Arabia
Subversive was an excellent choice of words.
COMMENT 3: The show has become the subject of angry Friday sermons in this strict Islamic kingdom, and the country's chief cleric recently issued a fatwa calling it "decadent" and sinful to watch.
Decadent and sinful – quite frankly, I do not believe their sentiments are unjustified. Is this program indicative of 'progress'? I do not think so – from where I sit, it is nothing less short of a step backward.
COMMENT 4: "Noor" has had such a deep influence because, unlike American or Mexican soap operas broadcast here, it is about a Muslim family living in a Muslim country.
EXACTLY why I feel the way I do in comments 2 and 3 – Muslim family living in a Muslim country – seriously? I would never have guessed… I have not seen anything in the story that even remotely indicates that the characters are "Muslim".
I have not seen one incident where the story line included a single family member excusing themselves for prayer; the men leaving the home to go to the mosque; I have not seen even one female character dressed, whether it was for leisure, work, business, or at home, dressed in either jelbab, hijab, or abaya. On the contrary, the cast wardrobe consists entirely of street clothes that you would find people wearing in any other country not proclaiming itself to be "Islamic" or "Muslim".
Personally, I am saddened that this program has become an 'obsession'. Is this what we want to present/support as demonstrative of life in the Muslim world? Life according to the true teachings of Islam? Or are we just supposed to swallow it hook, line and sinker as Muslim Reality TV? Astifurallah Al-Azeem.
Sure, we are all human, and it is not to say that we don't have similar thoughts, feelings, and experiences with life choices – but why not produce a program with similarly charismatic characters, demonstrating how to make better choices? Wouldn't it be something if THAT became an obsession!
Note: In one of the more recent episodes, the soulfully blue-eyed lead male character (Turk), is shown sporting a rather large tattoo on his upper right arm – that's 'Islamic' – imitating the custom of another society vs. showing reverence for religious/Islamic teachings. Seriously? Astifurgallah Al-Azeem.
Ah, and then there was this week's stunning moment: a female lead character awakening from her abortion while her husband, who was at home babysitting and playing with the couple's daughter, runs across the "conveniently left in a place where your husband – who you want to hide something from – will find it" (duh) positive pregnancy test result, and is suddenly thrilled to learn he will have a second child – but will ultimately be devastated to learn his joy was 'premature'. So much for that marriage…
COMMENT 5: The show is also dubbed in an Arabic dialect, not classical Arabic, which makes it easier to understand and feels more intimate to viewers.
So glad the article's writer mentioned the dubbing. I have never in all my life seen a program where every single character's lines were dubbed. Seriously, it is painfully ridiculous to watch.
COMMENT 6: According to several local newspapers, Saudi men have divorced their wives after finding photos of Muhannad on their cellphones or because they found their wives too taken with the Turk with the soulful eyes.
Now THAT'S ISLAMIC…N-O-T!
As to Turk's 'soulful eyes' – geez – they're blue – so what!
And while we're, again, on the subject of Turk, a few days ago the program offered a scene during which we observe Turk dressing to out. The amount of time given to this scene, and the unabashed love the character displays for himself as he looks repeatedly in the mirror, was nauseating (not unlike the Saudi men with their headgear - as I often observed - while 'checking' it's arrangement on their heads through a reflection in a mosque window). Anyhow, all I could think was, "Dude, GET OVER YOURSELF!!!"
COMMENT 7: But clerics say the national obsession is unhealthy and detrimental to Saudi society's traditional culture. Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper quoted a prominent cleric, Abdul Mohsen al-Obeikan, as saying the show erodes Muslim values and asking satellite channels not to air it.
Quite honestly, I am wildly curious as to why the cleric(s) are even having to ASK why this program is allowed to air on satellite channels in Saudi Arabia – if there was truly an uproar about the program the government could/would block it in a nano-second.
COMMENT 8: "When young people, who have all become fascinated with this show, watch Muslims like themselves engaging in premarital relations and having children out of wedlock, that is more dangerous than if they see Westerners doing those same things…"
Which begs the question – why does Saudi Arabia – in complaining of the influence of the 'west' invite the 'west' into the homes of its citizens via satellite in the first place? Again, the government has the power to block these images/programs – and yet they don't – so what is the complaint, REALLY????
And why does the 'west' have to bear the brunt of the blame for choices made within the confines of the Kingdom in the first place? The west is the west, as is the east the east – if western influences are not welcome do not allow or invite them in – if it is felt necessary to restrict the Kingdom's people to that degree. If not – then do not complain of the guest you have invited after the welcome mat has been laid out for him.
COMMENT 9: The show's finale, after 140 episodes, will be broadcast at the end of August, right before the start of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
Al-hamdulillah for that.

ICE 90-Day Sweep Nets Cardiac Patient Ziyad Busaileh, 60
Palestinian Immigrant Transferred to Alabama's Infamous Etowah County Detention Center
By Aishah Schwartz
Could a completed Immigration Form G-28 have spared Busaileh the added disadvantage of enduring a transfer to a facility 600 miles from his family and physician?
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MASNET) August 4, 2008 – In the course it's investigation into the July 22, 2008, arrest of Raleigh, NC resident Ziyad Busaileh, a 60-year-old Palestinian immigrant and cardiac patient, MAS Freedom (MASF) learned that between July 14 and August 3 eleven states have reported immigrant detainments in the latest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 'sweep'.
Reports indicate ICE's '90-Day Sweep' began July 1, 2008. (more here)

May Allah SWT give enormous patience to her loved ones.

Dear Aishah, I went through chemo-therapy myself for lung cancer and have been in full remission for 23 months now. I am so sorry to hear about your grandchild, and I know that she will be miserable during the process. However, miracles are being performed every day. This is the reason I started An Army of Bloggers, to fight this dreaded disease with everything I've got.
I will keep your granddaughter in my prayers as she certainly is a very cute little one.
