^Lol bungot epic fail, ask a question, quote it himself and answered it.

I think mas maau nga example ang Turkey.

Turkish girls are hot.

because maybe HE knows whats good and not to eat.

see, u don't know what's the real reason behind...why follow? explore and enjoy life my friend...

Let us be sensitive to WOMEN mga bro! If you want to disprespect women then, then go to the PORNO sight and you might want to view Katrina and Dr. Hyden doing their thing!

Women have rights that are similar to men, but men are "a degree above them." 2:228
A woman is worth one-half a man. 2:282
Males are to inherit twice that of females. 4:11
Lewd women are to be confined to their houses until death. 4:15
You may not forcibly inherit women, unless they flagrantly lewd. 4:19
Instructions for exchanging wives 4:20
"All married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess."
You can't have *** with married women, unless they are slaves obtained in war (with whom you may rape or do whatever you like). 4:24
Don't pray if you are drunk, dirty, or have touched a woman lately. 4:43
Women are feeble and are unable to devise a plan. 4:98
"Unto the male is the equivalent share of two females." 4:176
Those who "did wrong" will go to hell, and their wives will go to hell with them (no matter how they behaved). 37:22-23

Yep, women and men are equal in Islam.

disclaimer: The bible is no different. There are many verses nga lower gihapon ang mga women. The difference is, Christians mostly don't apply them anymore, citing that they only apply to the people in biblical times.
UAE? I've been there. I think mas maau nga example ang Turkey.

Turkey is too secular. UAE is much better.

In reality in whatever angle you want to see it, men and women are different, from the size of brain to the physiological flow of each gender.

That's why I prefer the word FAIR instead of EQUAL.

As ive said before Gender inequity can also be found outside religion.

correct Satan is pretty good at deceiving people. He could disguise as Jesus.

I am enjoying my Islamic life my friend. I already gave you the reason, read between the lines .

Muslim Student Reinventing Flight Technology
By Suzanne Fouad
Freelance Writer - USA


Graduation season brings with it a chance for the next generation of Muslims to shine. It is also a time to recognize the accomplishments of those who had the opportunity to obtain higher education. Ahmad Mahmoud is one of this year's exceptional graduates with an interesting story to tell.

Once you meet Mahmoud, it doesn't take long to realize that he is always finding a new topic to delve into. He constantly has new ideas and theories on his mind and doesn't mind sharing them with anyone who will listen.

Growing up, Mahmoud went to Islamic as well as public schools in New Jersey, USA, where he always challenged his teachers. He went on to major in Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

His active mind paved the way for him to take on a unique senior design project, followed by a NASA internship, and finally a unique career opportunity. The accomplishments of this young man are a refreshing reminder of the contributions Muslims make in the scientific world.

Learning from Butterflies

Mahmoud's senior design project involved travelling to Venezuela to study the flight of butterflies in order to utilize that knowledge and then replicate it through the use of technology.

He explained his research project to IslamOnline.net saying, "In Venezuela I videotaped and captured butterflies and other insects in order to study their wing structure and flight mechanisms."

He explained that after acquiring the necessary data, he and his colleagues returned to the US and analyzed the high speed video they taped to help them understand the exact wing movements of these insects.

"We also analyzed the wing structures in order to make sense of the complicated deformations that these wings underwent when flapping with such intricate patterns," he added.

His research resulted in the development of a new technique to generate lift with foldable wings which can be used to replicate flight for highly controlled miniature vehicles. These miniature vehicles can be used in a variety of ways, which include the ability to maneuver through narrow spaces that helicopters and airplanes cannot attain. These findings were used in his senior design project.

In addition to this, Mahmoud and his team "worked on a device that could be clamped onto any solid surface, converting that surface into a touch conscious system. Through sensing and analyzing the vibrations on a surface, it can extrapolate where the surface was touched," he explained.

The technology could be used on any surface to let the user know where it had been touched. The applications of such a technology include its use for security purposes among others. Mahmoud and his team completed the design of the device in May 2009, and named it the Multi-surface Adaptable Touch Sensor. Rutgers University awarded them first place in a competition for project design.

A Bright Future Ahead

Mahmoud's accomplishments didn't stop there. During his studies at the university he received news from his dean regarding an internship at NASA. There he was offered a co-op position. As he had always been interested in space, this seemed like a golden opportunity.

NASA welcomed Mahmoud with open arms, where he was one of a very few number of Muslims working there. He had the opportunity to work on a mass spectrometer that is to be used on the moon to detect water particles in craters. In simple terms, the device he worked on would be used to differentiate water molecules from other particles in order to identify the presence of water on the moon.

His work proved to be substantial enough for NASA to extend him a job opportunity upon graduation. In September, following his graduation, Mahmoud will be starting a new position with them at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. There, he will be working at the Cryogenics department.

Cryogenics involves the study of very low temperatures and the behavior of materials at those temperatures. His position will involve the designing of a liquid hydrogen fuel pump for the Ares I and Ares V rockets.

According to NASA, the Ares rockets will be sending future astronauts into space, taking them back to the moon, to Mars and onto other parts of the solar system. The Ares V rocket will be the main vessel for reliable and safe delivery of large hardware to space, including materials necessary to "extend a human presence beyond Earth orbit." (NASA)

It is clear this young man, who grew up playing in the mosque on weekends and challenging his teachers at school, has a wealth of potential for impacting science. Born to immigrant Egyptian parents, Mahmoud's accomplishments show the strong side of today's Muslim graduates.
