			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On January 9, 2009 there was a vote for the following bill:</p>
<blockquote><p>Recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza, reaffirming the United States’ strong support for Israel, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process</p></blockquote>
<p>We all know this bill had nothing to do with defending Israel against attacks from Gaza.  We all know this is not supporting any peace-process but helping the State of Israel continue to use American taxes to kill the people of Gaza.  The following men and women of Congress were the only &#8216;nay&#8217; voters to the above bill.</p>
<ul>
<li>Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio (D) &#8211; <a href="http://kucinich.house.gov/">http://kucinich.house.gov/</a></li>
<li>Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconson (D) &#8211; <a href="http://www.house.gov/gwenmoore/">http://www.house.gov/gwenmoore/</a></li>
<li>Congressman Ron Paul of Texas (R) &#8211; <a href="http://www.house.gov/paul/">http://www.house.gov/paul/</a></li>
<li>Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California (D) &#8211; <a href="http://www.house.gov/waters/">http://www.house.gov/waters/</a></li>
<li>Congressman Rick Rahall of West Virginia (D) &#8211; <a href="http://www.rahall.house.gov/">http://www.rahall.house.gov/</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Please contact them and thank them for their &#8216;nay&#8217; vote.</p>
<p><a href="http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll010.xml#N">Here</a> is the full listing of the voting results of the bill.</p>

This is really sad.  I am an American Muslim and I feel horrible about this.  How can these idiots be a member of the US military?  Where is the respect, the dignity and the honor they claim to have.  They are like the bullies who drop of out high school and become drug and alcohol addicts not US soldiers!  What a disgrace!  </p>
<p>Every American should see this.  This should be shown as a commercial during the Superbowl.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alhamdulillah!  My wife and I sponsored an orphan through <a href="http://www.irw.org/orphandrive/">Islamic Relief</a>.  We just recieved the bio data and photo of the young child we sponsored.  Due to privacy laws and policies of orphan sponsorhip we can&#8217;t share details, but I&#8217;d want to point out the blessing of sponsoring an orphan especially since it was not expensive at all.</p>
<p>The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between.&#8221;  [Sahih al-Bukhari]</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43" title="orphan-hadith-fingers" src="http://www.amirsahib.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/orphan-hadith-fingers.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="199" /></p>
<p>Wallahi, when you receive the biodata info about the young child, your heart just softens up and you want to sponsor as much orphans as possible.  The cost is about 2-3 monthly cable or cell phone bills depending on your usage.  In other words it varies beteen $200-$500.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.irw.org/orphandrive/">Click here</a> to sponsor an orphan.  If you can&#8217;t then make the intention, inshaAllah.</p>
