Ramadan's here! Nothing else matters...





Yaaaaay! It's almost Ramadan! Tonight might be the first Tarawih in the Middle Eastern countries. I've got a new moon down there on the right side of the page so tomorrow, in theory, could be the first of Ramadan in Pakistan, inshAllah. (edit: First Ramadan is on Monday here, because the teeny moon you see on the moon phase box there wasn't visible to anyone but a few who said they might have seen something...)

Another tiny bit of news I wanted to pop in here was the statement the adorable, roly poly former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage made to the director of Pakistan's intelligence agency in 2001. Now that's something you don't get to hear everyday.

To make things clear, I still don't support Musharraf's policies or the argument that he had no other option but to do what he did after 9/11. When three-hundred-and-thirteen men defended their cause against an army one thousand strong, they didn't say, 'We have no choice but to give in and join their ranks.'

May Allah reward and raise the ranks of the men of Badr - both, the first and the last.

Very true... too often, people feel outnumbered and join the "other" side to avoid defeat... you can kill the man but not the idea.
