Fast food pushing up US obesity

Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem

It seems that America's addition to fast food is quickly expanding our waistlines and sending us to an early grave. In the piece, it shows places like McDonald's offering salads, just because they offer salads does not necessarily guarantee that the salad is healthy either. Some of McDonald's dressings and salads have as much calories as their Big Macs and Cheeseburgers. Let's be honest, it's time to go back making our meals at home and knowing where our food is coming from. I'm liking and appreciating the local food movement as well as getting my meats from Halal butchers. Our country wants their lives and food done quick, fast and in a hurry.

Inshaallah, I prefer to eat my meals at home where they are made with love, honor, and conviction.

May Allah reward you with good,

Inspired by Muhammad

Inspired by Muhammad is a new website and ad campaign that was unleashed in Britain today by the Exploring Islam Foundation. I checked out the website and found it to be highly informative. The launch of this website was based on recent survey that the EIF did with the YouGov company with non-Muslims in Britain. Here's what the survey found:

• 60% believe that Islam oppresses women
• 58% associate Islam with terrorism
• More than half of those surveyed thought Islam to be an extremist religion
• 57% percent of Britians get their information about Islam from television and news reports

Inshaallah, this campaign will help show that Islam is a peaceful religion that Muhammad (SWT) was a peaceful prophet.

Both Silent and Angry Protests Take Place Against Facebook

Yesterday, I took one day off from Facebook as most Muslims did, because facebook allow a contest called draw Mohammed day. But some countries took it a step further. Pakistan interrupted both Facebook and Youtube service. Thousands of muslimahs and muslims took to the streets demanding that both websites be banned in their country for allowing the site to continue with this group. As of this posting, Facebook has since shut the group down and has kicked off the member who created it.

I checked FB today and found that very few Muslims have logged backed on to the website. Inshaallah, Facebook and Youtube will learn to think before they allow such groups to enter.

May Allah Bring Peace and blessings,

Muslimah
