Facebook: Social Tool or Alternate Reality?
2008-01-04 02:55:00 I believe I speak for quite a few, if not all of the people using this tool (and for those, not using it for that matter) that when we think, say or hear the word “Facebook” we think social networking.

Don?t Tase Me, Bro
2007-12-31 09:00:00 Funny thing, society. It is mechanical, following the same routing over and over again. We’re accultured to this. Anything out of the ordinary, breaking through the monotones stays with us, echoing in our lives. This is just an example. We usually take stuff like this for granted, consider it something funny, but what is really ... More About: Society , Media , Psychology , University of Florida , Communications

The Tyranny Of choice
2007-12-26 11:06:00 As the Twelve Steppers say, we must acknowledge our powerlessness. We cannot knowledgeably make even a fraction of the appropriate choices available. Say it out loud.

Crest Whitestrips: A lesser convenience?
2007-12-20 12:59:00 I’m watching tv at 5:55 AM and some ads are coming on T.V. I notice this ad about Crest Whitestrips (for your teeth) where they do a typical comparison between Crest and “other brands.” One user wants strips that dissolve because of convenience, whereas a Crest user says it wants results. With reference to my previous ... More About: Convenience
The Diverse, Pluralistic Face of Islam
2007-12-20 08:35:00 So apparently, we muslims are so divided, that we even have a problem with when we should celebrate Eid. It’s funny how we don’t accept this diverse face of Islam , when the Qur’an itself is written in ways open to umpteen interpretations. Why then, do we not tolerate and respect our brothers? For example, Eid ... More About: Face , Diverse

War on Terror or War on Islam?
2007-11-22 06:31:00 For quite a while I had been thinking that the United States had generalized its war on terror where every muslim, mainly of Middle Eastern descent and the Sub Continent were considered “terrorists.” The term terrorist and fundamentalist are now widely negatively associated with the Muslim Ummah.
