I did not know that McDonalds had a policy to not open stores on lands taken by settlements outside Israel's 1967 borders. Apparently it does.
Not only that "Padan, chief executive of McDonald's Israel, was a founding member of Peace Now, the anti-settlement organisation".
The Night of Bara'ah (Laylatul Bara'ah) is tonight in the UK (Sunday 23rd of June)
This is not a debate or discussion thread but is meant as a reminder and is therefore closed and will remain so to avoid pointless arguing. Let us be tolerant of valid differences of opinion and not let them divide us, as differences of opinion are a blessing and must never be a cause of division.
The Hadith regarding the night of Bara'ah:
There are many Ahaadith that have been narrated on the virtue of the 15th of Sha’baan. One of them is the narration of Sayyiduna Mu’aadh ibn Jabal (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,
I know there's rules and regulations in Islam about taking someone else's life. They're pretty beautiful and just and fair rules too.

Most candidates that may disagree with the ayatollah have been removed from the running, including former president Rafsanjani and others including Ahmedinejad's preferred successor.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
Looking To See was wondering what in nature is blue.
That had me looking through my snapshots - a lot are untagged so it is never a completely pointless exercise, even if this thread strictly is. Turns out I have a lot of evidence of blue. I'll update this when I feel like it, and other members should also feel free to add their photos (but not stuff from the web, that would spoil it). Please correct any IDs as appropriate. 
Right. Some of the commonest blue things in nature are flowers so here's for starters...

Because we're all gourmands here.
Well, I have been showing off some of my successful forages and cookery, and figured it would be encouraging for any aspiring cooks to have a thread for your best cookery pics and/or recipes.

[B][SIZE=4][U]10 Ways to Prepare for Ramadan [/U][/SIZE][/B]
The blessed & most beautiful month is near and what better time to prepare for it than right now. Some of us deceive ourselves into thinking that when Ramadan comes we will suddenly change and worship Allah night and day but we are only decieving ourselves in thinking like this.
The Sahaaba used to prepare for Ramadan six months in advance. So if we really want to make the best of this Ramadan then we need to prepare for it now!
This may be our last Ramadan for life is so uncertain. Then there is NO doubt that we must make the best of it for the Reward of EVERY good act in the month of Ramadan is multiplied many times over:
Or should that be "Genius moments of pure evil"?

A confirmation that probably goes beyond most conspiracy theories and conspiracy films - but it is true.
Not only - through secret court orders nontheless - does the US government have access to all the telephone calls made in the US since 2006, but it also has direct access by all the data that has been collected by atleast Google, Facebook and Apple.
They know everything.
