The most effective, corruption free government in Afghanistan is not the central government of the American puppet Hamid Karzi, rather it is his opponent, the Taliban.

One of Washington’s top counter-insurgency advisers has warned that the Taliban is ready to take over the government in Afghanistan, with a successful local court network in the country’s south, tax collection operations and a new Taliban Ombudsman’s office, all directly challenging Kabul’s rule.

From Muslim Apps:

This Islamic iphone app features a collection of du’a (supplications) from the Qu’ran and Sunnah, and based on the popular Hisnul Muslim (Fortification of the Muslim) collection.

Originally collated by Sheikh Sa’eed ibn Ali ibn Wahf al-Qahtani, Hisnul Muslim is one of the most famous and widely referenced collections of du’a in the Muslim world.

This app allows the user to search for the right du’a to say for a particular situation.  For example:

• When leaving home
• When entering a mosque
• When going to sleep
• When feeling pain
• When seeking guidance (istikharah)
• When breaking one’s fast

The Arabic and English translation of each du’a are included.

The best bit is at the end

Harun “Jews, Jews, Masons, Jews” Yahya (aka Adnan Oktar), our favourite Muslim Creationist Spammer, appears in the media with the news that he has teamed up with some Rabbis to work towards rebuilding the Temple of Solomon.  He told World Net Daily:

The Palace of Solomon is a historically important palace, and rebuilding it would be a very wonderful thing. It is something that any Jew, a Christian or a Muslim should welcome with enthusiasm. Every Muslim, every believer will want to return to those days, to experience those days again and, albeit partially, to bring the beauty of those days back to life.

“It could be done in a year at most. It could be built to the same perfection and beauty. The Torah says it was built in 13 years, if I remember correctly. It could be rebuilt in a year in its perfect form.”
