  If the World Were a Village
Although the book stated that this "village" would be a small scale model of the world, I couldn't help but find myself annoyed and irritated at the fact that "only 30 always have enough to eat" and that "the poorest 10 each have only about $1 a day".

  A NUCLEAR STRIKE
Reflections of Fidel: IT is not an overstatement. This is the general expression of many compatriots. It was the impression of the Revolutionary Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Alvaro Lopez Miera, an experienced soldier, when he saw the twisted steel towers, the shattered houses......

  Jumu’ah mubarak
On this juma (jum’ah, jumu’ah, etc) , I encourage us to reflect on the fact that even the Prophet (pbuh) was at the receiving end of bitter hostility as he walked his path. So were many other great men and women, including Jesus Christ (pbuh), the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther...... [view]
