Can A Dog Be A Muslims Best Friend?

I was sitting on the bus with this lady I know who is registered blind…there’s a certain way to deal with people who are registered blind…there are many important do’s and don’ts that one HAS to be familiar with...and you can only know such stuff if you’ve personally associated with people who are visually impaired.

Anyway, another lady who was blind got on the bus with her guide dog…I was SO impressed with the quiet nature of the dog and how perfectly it guided her…he even knew when they reached her stop!

My mum is registered blind.

British Gay And Muslim

Gay Muslims

This Channel 4 documentary shows how the experiences of five lesbian and gay Muslims in Britain challenge the heterosexual bias in Muslim communities and illustrate the diversity within Islam. Tamsila Tauqir reports

Over the sinister introductory music to the programme, presenter Sonia Deol says: ‘Islam is fierce in its condemnation of homosexuality.’ Let’s be fair, antagonism towards homosexuality is no more exclusive to any one community than favouring men, the able-bodied and those with wealth and power.

This thread is for those of us still grieving over our new friend who was recently killed in the Thames.

I offered this humble eulogy in the other thread:

[quote="Don Karnage"][quote="Beast"]Maybe not hundreds but 10s. I don't know the worlwide whale death rate.

We don't get upset at the death of every other sea-dwelling mamal.

Everybody say "Hi Bob!"

Bob is a Tiger, and a closer personal friend of mine - so I thought i'd embarass him by strolling through a few of his more embarassing memories.

As a young cub - Bob was a bit of a mommas boy:

Dealing with People you do not like

[b]Dealing with people you can not stand[/b]

by Rick Brinkman and Rick Kirschner

Studies show that people, who like their jobs, feel appreciated for what they do and who they are. Problem people usually do not like what they do. To communicate effectively with other people, you must have some understanding of what matters most to them. By observing behavior and listening to communication patterns with the difficult people, you can recognize their primary intents.

Every behavior has a purpose, or an intent, that the behavior is trying to fulfill.
